I'm gettin a dog very soon, probably alaskan malamute (I like their wolf-like shape and face), and I've never had a dog before so I would like some tips, help to eaze the "burdens".

First of all; When can I start train it for special stuff (no not things like attacking people but some things such as not gettin his ass up on the soffa etc etc). Do I REALLY have to take him out at 5 am?! :eek: . Can I do something else that'll make him hold on til 10 or 11 when I wake up lol!

Any kind of advice would be very welcome :)
 
You could teach dogs when they're a few months old. When the dog gets up to a year old they're real assholes, atleast my friends dogs are like that, they'll calm down later though.
 
The earlier you teach them the better. You don't need to take them out at 5am you just need to let it in the garden as soon as you wake up because they'll probalby need a piss / shit. When I had my dog it used to jump on my couch a lot but I used to shout at it and raise my hand and it soon stopped. If you get it when it's a pup it'll need toilet training, the whole laying newspaper around the house thing.
 
well you can train him at certain times to go out and make it a routine or put him in a specific room where he's allowed to go and let him to his thing on newspapers til then and for the sofa you just have to go on and when he does point your finger and say no but a shitload of times till he gets it....good luck picked a helluva breed...

i love em.

Well you're really jumping into the deep end with an alaskan malamute! lol - they are the huge ones right?

one of the things they say at dog obedience school is to state your authority, lol! And from when the dog is young too. Don't be affraid to tell them off when they do something wrong - and do it immediately, usually when they do it, so they understand what they did (it's no use telling them off about it after it's happened).

i have too very naughty dogs at home and the reason they are like that is because my brother is too soft on his dog and wont tell him off and mine is naughty because i bought her when she was 3, so all her had habbits were set in! lol.

But yeah, start training when it is a puppy - they have puppy pre-schools these days! lol. One of the worst things about puppies is teaching it it crap outside, lol. umm, best way to do that is, if it shits in the house, immediately take it outside because then they start to associate going to the toilet with being outside and slowly it sinks in! Then they start to learn that to get outside, you have to take them, so they learn to find you and make you let them out, (so you wont have to make a conscious effort to let them out, instead, they will let you know).

I was told you can't train him to go to the toilet.

Btw; I live in a appartement which means I have no garden to let him out :(. Any tip of how I can come around the problem of now waking up at 5 am?

Thanks for your answer.

Well Alaskan Malamute doesn't seem so big. I have a neighbour who got 2 of them ( I think or theyre anoter race but looks very similiar). Yea I'm getting a puppy at only some month old.

So if the bastard shits in the house I should show him where the shit has to go by taking it out with him?

Thanks for all the answers as they are very helpful! :)

You'll need to take him out then first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and you'll just have to lay newspaper and be prepared to clean up any mess. My dog pissed on my floor once right in front of me so I held its nose right up close to the piss and shouted at it may seem a little cruel but it worked.

Of course I do but I "need" to know just how comfortable things can get later after I train him things and such. I have alot of spare time since I study in university and mostly it's essays we work with. But I would like to know whether they get "easier" to work with later on. I'm 100% ready to commit alot of time to train and be with him for years.
