Samoyed Training

Do you have a Samoyed that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Samoyeds are beautiful, friendly dogs bred for herding and pulling sleds in Siberia. They're known for their permanent 'Sammy smile,' fluffy white coats, and sociable nature — but their working heritage means they have more energy and stubbornness than their cuddly appearance suggests.

Common Samoyed traits and training needs

  • High energy — bred for all-day work and needs significant daily exercise
  • Vocal breed — barking, howling, and 'talking' are part of the Samoyed experience
  • Stubborn and independent — will consider your request but may decline
  • Strong pulling instinct — they were bred to pull sleds and the habit persists on lead
  • Can develop destructive behaviours including digging and chewing when bored
  • Prone to separation anxiety — they're pack dogs who want company

Samoyed owners love that perpetual smile and fluffy cloud appearance. If your Samoyed pulls on the lead like they're still hauling a sled, vocalises their opinions on everything, or has redecorated your garden with strategic digging — that's the working breed underneath the fluff. Their friendly, sociable nature makes them responsive to training that's fun and engaging.
