Norwegian Elkhound
Norwegian Elkhound Training
This dominant breed needs to know that you’re their leader ASAP. They’re usually very playful, friendly and curious puppies, but you want to make sure they don’t grow up to walk all over you. Proper socialization will help with their aggression towards other dogs and animals. Bring your puppy to training classes with other dogs, introduce it to strangers and take a cruise by the dog park while your Norwegian Elkhound is still young and impressionable. Generally, housebreaking your puppy shouldn’t be an issue. They’ll get the hang of it in no time. These dogs are smart, clean and always up for a trip outside.
Selecting a Norwegian Elkhound Puppy
Norwegian Elkhound Puppy Ears
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
