The Norwegian Elkhound is an energetic, balanced, and affectionate dog, but at the same time too independent to immediately show blind obedience, therefore, its upbringing requires a certain sensitivity. The Norwegian Elkhound is very attached to “his” family, while defending it with loud barks, but does not attack. Especially striking is his affectionate and friendly attitude towards people close to him.
#1 The Norwegian Elkhound is a very active, energetic, and incredibly funny dog.

#2 The very concept of idleness is alien to these animals since their seething nature constantly requires action and activity.

#3 They tend to bark, and it is extremely difficult to wean a dog from this. You can reduce the amount of barking, which is good news.
