Step 2

Since the conditions for breeding were rather harsh, they use their characteristic attack style - from behind and with numerous bites, with their mobility it can be very dangerous for the attacked. You must ensure that all your commands are unconditionally executed to prevent such situations.
Step 3
From the very childhood, be consistent and do not let the puppy of what might be forbidden for an adult dog. Eliminate any manifestation of spoilage, never feed her from your table and do not encourage begging. Stop her barking, although at first it will seem very funny to you.
Step 4

The natural reaction of the dog in this case is destructive actions - it begins to gnaw on shoes, huddle under furniture and bark loudly.
Step 5
In order not to be disappointed in this breed, treat the puppy initially not like a toy. Teach him for up to three to four months all the necessary basic commands: "to me", "not allowed", "fu", "place", "next to", "sit". Pay special attention to the prohibition commands, this will help the dog to avoid many dangers.
Step 6
Your persistence and consistency will help the Spitz very quickly understand what is required of him and how he should behave in different situations. A little effort and patience in the first months will be more than rewarded with exemplary obedience, and this always contributes to mutual understanding and pleasure from communication with the dog.
