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.

"I love Nat's energy and passion for her job! It's contagious and you can really see how much she wants you and your pet to succeed. Nat is very approachable and supplies notes after sessions to help keep you on track. I would recommend you contact her if you are stressing out and needing help with your dogs challenging behaviours!"

"We were close to the end of our tether when we contacted Natalie to see if she could assist with our young, antisocial JR terrier. Natalie has helped us to better understand the behaviours and motivations of our pups, and how to navigate and manage situations that cause angst for both pups and humans alike. Natalie has worked with us on manageable training tasks to improve behaviours in a range of real-life situations. Our relationships with our pups, and quality of life for all of us, are now much improved. I highly recommend Natalie's approach and philosophy - it's made a positive difference for us."
