#4 The main difficulty in training Karelian Bear Dog is the dog’s quick loss of interest in classes.
Yes, the Karelian Bear Dog is ready to learn, but not for long and for a tasty treat. In addition, in order to work out a command to automatism, a representative of this breed will need at least 25-30 repetitions, which is not so little.
#5 The training of Karelians begins in a standard way – with the pet recognizing its own nickname and the habit of settling down in the place allotted to it in the apartment.
You need to work out the basic commands with the puppy very carefully and dosed so as not to overwork the baby. At the age of three months, the Karelian Bear Dog should begin to get acquainted with such commands as "Sit!", "Come to me!", "No way!" From this age, if you have a spring dog, you can teach her swimming lessons. Start with a simple walkthrough of warm puddles, gradually moving on to swimming in streams and other shallow bodies of water. When the Karelian Bear Dog starts hunting, this skill will come in handy. Just do not forget to wash the animal with clean water after each such swim in order to clean the coat of bacteria and microorganisms living in open water.
#6 At a young age, Karelian Bear Dogs are extremely destructive creatures, so you have to come to terms with the inevitability of material damage.
It is important to understand that the puppy is not playing pranks out of harm, it just develops in this way and gets acquainted with the surrounding reality. If you are planning to visit the countryside with a Karelian Bear Dog, train your dog to respond appropriately to poultry, for which the good old "No!" Command will do. If it was not possible to control the pet, and he has already strangled the chicken or goose, punish the four-legged bully without leaving the scene of the crime. Let it go on the brakes just once, and the Karelian Bear Dog will entertain itself for life by hunting bird herds.
