Are Finnish Spitz difficult to train?
Finnish Spitz are an intelligent and sensitive breed with a streak of independence. They require training without harsh methods but with praise and rewards when they do what you want them to, much like “positive parenting”. A Finkie that is treated harshly will never forget it and will never mature into the loving faithful companion that he or she should be. While some Finnish Spitz do very well in obedience, others become bored easily due to their intelligence and are not the best obedience dogs. Their sensitivity does not mean that normal, raised voices in a household will cause them distress. But directing a high degree of anger at your Finnish Spitz will destroy his spirit.
