How to Train your FINNISH SPITZ

Training Your Finnish Spitz

The Finnish Spitz is a beautiful, fox-like hunting dog known for its extreme intelligence, independent spirit, and famously vocal nature.

Key Training Tips:

• Bark Management: They were bred to bark at prey to alert hunters. You must teach the "quiet" command early, as they will bark at almost everything.
• Keep it Interesting: They bore incredibly quickly. Training sessions must be very short, highly varied, and extremely fun, or they will simply walk away.
• Positive Reinforcement: They are sensitive dogs that do not respond to harshness. Use high-value treats and enthusiastic praise.

They are deeply loyal and highly entertaining, but require an owner who appreciates their vocal, independent hunting heritage.
