Yogi Bear always found ways to outsmart Ranger Rick on countless occasions. If you've seen the cartoon, like I did, you'd see that the acrobatic bag of fur came up with all kinds of tricks to steal a picnic basket. It's kinda embarrassing for human to get outwitted each and every time, and if Rick knew any better (or was any smarter for that matter), he'd get a
to help him rid of the hairy thief. I don't exactly remember if the ranger did get a dog to help, but what does it matter anyway? It's just a cartoon with an insane story to tell.
But in real-life, a Karelian Bear Dog would do a great job at warding off bears – today it's actually used for bear-infested regions, to minimize the attacks of the beasts on campers and dumpsters. Are you interested in training a Karelian Bear Dog? If you are, you should know the following: the original purpose of this dog breed was to hunt large game. Back in Finland, the country that's said to be its origin, it had to deal with a wide array of wild beasts. That meant that the pooch was brave, which means it can develop the “Alpha-Dog Syndrome” if the proper
aren't given to it.
At an early age, you'll have to establish your authority over it, that it may look up to as if you were its “father”. Being a sissy or overly kind doesn't work for this potentially pushy pooch, nor does being too strict with it. Here's what you've got to do when you start training it: be firm yet gentle. You want to give it the right amounts of “strictness” so that it doesn't just do whatever it wants, at the same time the right amounts of “gentleness” that it may not feel that it's being forced to do something it doesn't want (the ideal “parent figure”).
If you want it to actually learn something from you, know this: it does have the tendency to bore easily. With that said, it goes without saying that the canine training routines you give it must be fun. Everybody knows that a pooch won't do something that it feels is no good for it – add “flavor” or variety to the methods you use. If it feels that you're just wasting its time, it'll find something else better to do. During those routines, a
that could work for is the rewarding system. Giving it a doggy treat for doing something good, such as obeying a command can help motivate and condition it to respond the way you want it to.
We all know that a smart pooch behaving badly is never good, so if you do want to avoid that type of situation, do this: as a pup, allow it to socialize with the other pets and people in town. Getting to know the way the “others” behave will be good for it – in what ways? Well for starters it wouldn't be getting into dog fights as often, nor would it become overly shy towards others. The Karelian Bear Dog breed, when trained properly, can be an ideal pet for anybody.
