Dog Training
Dogs are intelligent companions that have been used to help man for centuries. Sometimes they need help to learn how to obey and assist their owners. That help is called training, and this category is for everything related to that training.

Are Alaskan Klee Kai Dogs easy to train?
Actually, every dog has different personalities and it's this personality that determines what they would do well in regardless of breed. So to answer your question, most Malamutes are good as sled dogs, working dogs, and some are hunting dogs while some are bad at all of the above. In order to understand why, we need to take a little step backwards in the breeds history. As a person with knowledge and experience, I can help give you some ideas as to determine whether your Malamute is still suitable for a hunting dog or if it's just another one of those working types.
Back in the early days, the Inuit people in the tribe responsible for the breeding were VERY picky on the quality of their dogs. Breeding of the Malamutes were divided between the working dogs and the hunting dogs.
Hunting types:
In the old days, the Mahlemute tribes bred these dogs mostly to be working dogs, some as hunting types. Hunting Malamutes were bred to be friendly with humans but maintained most of their high prey drives for wild animals and were known to assist their human hunters while sled Malamutes were slightly smaller in size and focused on the simpler tasks from pulling heavy loads, navigation purpose, or even baby-sitting children. Some escape artists at the time were also known to bring home mostly rodents and fish (despite their sizes, they cannot take down caribous or muskox like their wild wolf cousins due to their teeth being not strong enough to crush the bones of a medium sized hoof runner). During seasonal hunts, a hunter would shoot a caribou multiple times to slow it down, sometimes in the ankle if they were lucky and then a group of hunting Malamutes would race ahead to help bring down the pre-shot caribou, in this case, finishing the animal off by the neck. So yeah, these are just some examples of the hunting types and the ones that CAN be trained as hunting dogs. Sadly though, during the Gold Rush, people began breeding the Malamutes primarily for working purpose so the modern day Malamutes have quite a lower hunting instinct than that of the early hunting ones. Alaskan Malamutes were also used to find seal holes and protect the camp from bears and intruders.
Working types:
The working Malamutes were the most common dogs in what's now known as Alaska and some parts of Yukon. They took no part in the hunting and were less aggressive than the hunting types. Working types did assist the people in gathering the leftovers from the hunt as well as guiding their human companions out of harm's way (such as disobeying commands by steering away from a direction where the dog senses danger like thin ice or the presence of a bear). Some also carried thin wood for fire. There is a lot of stuff that the working types were responsible for that I cannot list it all here. While working dogs can also hunt rodents on their own, they cannot take down any pre-shot caribou like the hunting groups so all hunting were left to the hunters and their hunting Malamutes. Both hunting dogs and working dogs did have one thing in common was that they can pull sleds.
Modern types:
Today, due in part to us human relying more on the markets and in some cases, using hunting rifles, hunting Malamutes are no longer necessary so the hunting type Malamutes have virtually died out. While minor hunting instincts can still be found in a lot of the modern day dogs, it is mostly the working instinct in this northern spitz type dog that has survived and so I recommend teaching your Malamute how to do tasks that are suitable for a working dog than how to hunt. In the case with most modern Alaskan Malamutes, most breeders look for qualities that are suitable for a working or family dog. Personalities play a role, those with the rare aggressive dominant behaviors would be rejected from breeding. This also meant that certain traits like being easily distracted by a passing stranger or even getting friendly with a cat that would have been considered unwanted for a working or hunting type dog began to rise in the breed as well. VERY FEW modern day Malamutes can still take down a pre-shot running caribou but most of them would more likely be pummeled by the hoof runner's strength due to their lack of experience in hunting. The modern types are also sub-divided into different groups. The most popular are the Kotzebue, the kind that are extremely friendly with people and are more suitable for a family's dog and the M'loots, the larger ones that still have most of the working instinct from their Working type ancestors. Most of the Alaskan Malamutes that you'd run into around the world are Kotzebue while M'loots are far more rare and are exclusive to Canada and Alaska.
How to stop a dog from urinating in the house?
What are the personalities of dogs?
as with humans, dogs all have varying personalities. but if you are asking about breeds in general, from my personal experience; Old English Sheepdogs are very good with children and quite placid, pugs are very excitable although they can be difficult to train and some, granted not all pit bulls have an aggressive streak but watching one puncture a family members head is not fun.
i hope that this answered your question, and if not, your local grooming shop or pet shop should tell you whatever else you need to know.
If a dog comes on your property and your dog attacks it are you responsible?
Yes, unless the other dog has an owner and the owner said that it was his fault. If its a stray dog just take it to the vet and tell them what happened, you shouldn't get in trouble unless the other dog has an owner and decides to press charges against you.
Do you need a business license to be a dog walker?
Most cities and/or counties may require that if you are starting a business you will need to first acquire a business license. What is a business license? By definition a business license is a legal authorization in document form issued by municipal and/or state governments and required for business operations. Don't get this confused with DBA. So then what is a DBA?
DBA is an abbreviation for "doing business as." Certain jurisdictions may also use the terms fictitious business name, trade name or assumed name. DBA registration is necessary if your business operates under a name other than its legal name.
For a corporation, LLC, or other state registered entity, the legal name is the name on the filed articles. For all other business entities, the legal name is the personal name of the business owner or owners. Conducting business and opening a bank account under any name other than your legal business name is only possible after fulfilling your state's DBA filing requirement. And what if you are selling items? Do most states require a state seller's permit?
If you sell, lease personal property or sell taxable services at a retail or wholesale level, you are required to obtain a Seller's Permit. If you have more than one location where sales are made, a separate license is required for each location. You must obtain a State Employer Identification Number Also Called a State Tax Id EIN if you:
Pay wages to one or more employees
If your business is a corporation and you are an employee of the corporation (recommended so you can obtain all the tax free and deductible corporate fringe benefits)
if you are a sole owner and the sole employee of your business getting an EIN is not required as long as you report the financial results of your business on Form 1040, Schedule C. The IRS and the Social Security use your social security number to track self-employment tax. A federal tax identification number (also know as an employer identification number or EIN), is a number assigned solely to your business by the IRS. Your tax ID number is used to identify your business to several federal agencies responsible for the regulation of business.
Any business offering products or services that are taxed in any way must get a federal tax ID number.
How do you train a dog to hold in its urine?
To get your dog to hold his pee overnight is the same thing as getting YOU to hold YOUR pee at night. END.OF.SENTENCE.
...well...you could try not giving it water...but you'll end up harming his health...so...not really a good idea...
Why does your dog pee on its leg?
Dogs will urinate when they're scared as well as when they're excited. Human contact may be appreciated so much that the dog literally can't contain itelf. If that's the case, the dog needs more attention. Enough so that it becomes accustomed to having the contact and the excitement levels drop.
Where do you get the cheapest dog crates?
Dog crates can be purchased at pet stores. PetSmart and PetCo are an example of stores that carry dog crates. If you worried about spending too much, local want ads in papers and craigslist offer used dog crates at a less cost.
LITTERS ARE THE PUPPIES OR KITTENS THAT DOGS AND CATS HAVE It depends on when you want to start birthing the litters and end them. If you want to birth them for 3 years, they can have 6 litters. Dogs only come into heat 2 times a year, so they wont have many. You shouldn't breed your dog the first heat, or let them birth puppies after the 3rd year. If you fail to do this, it could cause premature babies and health problems (back and hip problems) in the mother dog and can result in death.
I would say anxiety and confusion over pack hierarchy. What breed of dog is it and are you meeting it's excercise needs? The right amount of focused excercise is one of the best ways to start out handling many different issues.
How do you train a puppy to stay with the clicker method?

Your puppy wont walk with a leash?
Yes you can. Most public parks and places simply don't allow it, but if your dog is not aggressive and very friendly you could teach it to walk without a leash. I don't recommend walking down streets without a leash as it could be hit by a car. First when teaching your dog leash train it first. Teach it heel, and all the other leash behavior, then when you walk with your dog without a leash say heel and give it a treat if she walks beside you for awhile. Add more and more length to your walk before you give her a treat then include obstacles, and other people and animals. If she succeeds in her training it should be a piece of cake walking her in a public place without a leash.
How do you get dog out of your bed?
Treats. lure the dog off the bed into his bed with treats and when and if the dog gets back on your bed, scold him and put him back in his own bed and say stay. If he doesn't get back onto your bed give him a treat.

How do you stop your dog from ripping up garbage?
As a woman and a dog owner, I've had embarrassing moments where my rat terrier mix has brought something "fascinating" from the bathroom trash can in front of company. Dogs have a far more developed sense of smell than we do. Many of the items put in a bathroom trash can are doubly alluring, the objects smell like us or cosmetics and are "available".
Bathroom trash cans are generally low and open, easily accessible to dogs of any size.
What has worked for us in the bathroom:
1) We use a small metal can with a foot pedal. The closed can keeps down the smell & is difficult for most dogs to open.
2) Empty the can frequently
3) Keep little sealable bags to put used feminine products in
Other suggestions
1) In the kitchen, we use a small trash can under the sink. We open the cabinet and put the trash in the can. Our dogs don't open cabinets. You can also do this if you have room in the cabinet under your bathroom sink.
2) There are wire attachments that you can screw into the insides of your cabinet door so the door comfortably holds the trash can.
Best Wishes
