Laika – universal breed, the great hunter, the friend and when it is necessary, the watchman. Most often it is got by the inveterate hunters appreciating her ability to work with any game, adapting to hobbies of the owner. Therefore training of this dog in skills of hunting very important, but we will talk about an initial, basic course of education which will help a dog easier to adapt to living conditions in the apartment or in the house, in the conditions of the city.
Instruction
1. When you bring to the house of the puppy who is just torn off from mother, from sisters and brothers, define to it the place in the house, but not on the balcony and not on a verandah. Try to facilitate during this period to it separation and to naturally replace the lost family. After feeding you refer it on a certain place, tenderly talking and stroking, wait until he falls asleep. Such "tendernesses" will promote that already in couple of days the puppy will cease to whine, it will become better to eat and will become cheerful. Besides, it will help from the first and to the last days to establish to his life with him the closest and confidential contact – a basis of your coexistence and understanding.
2. The place of a dream and the place of feeding at a laika have to be strictly defined. Consider that in a toilet it is necessary for the kid right after food and after a dream, how he will eat. Therefore accustom him to an order at once, in time removing for departure of natural needs. At your persistence and persistence the dog will begin to understand what from her is required from the earliest age. By two months it has to keep accurately at a distance, the place of feeding, team "to me" and it is correct to react to a whistle which sound replaces this team on hunting.
3. Continue to fix implementation of this command and a pozyvistost on a whistle after three months when you begin to make full walks with a puppy. In the same time begin to train it in the main teams: nearby to sit, lie, a voice, look for, to stand, it is impossible, to take, give. By four months well trained laika puppies, as a rule, without problems and with pleasure carry out a basic course especially as obedience is stimulated with delicacy and caress that too is very important for dogs.
4. Education of a laika demands persistence and hardness, but should not be excessively rigid. Show attention to bents and features of behavior of a dog and use them for development of those skills which to you seem useful. Along with it stop harmful bents until they developed into habits. Do not think that it will be necessary to get rid of them when the puppy grows. The foundation of education of a laika is laid aged about one year.
