Rusty the Norwegian Elkhound Puppy

[tgplacha89]

@corbean10 yes, my parents actually trained their newest one. not the quietest girl, but amazingly well-behaved off-leash and has never once tried to run, etc.  i think they hired someone to do the training for that though

[T800OSG]

Rusty is one Cute Norwegian Elkhound Puppy. You should be very proud.

[Nansakaru]

nice



[notcool98]

No way! Once they catch a scent, they will be gone.  I would never trust mine off-leash.

[diefienbaker]

My husband does a walk every night without a leash!!!

[bigjoe577485]

i have an odd cross of this breed. i have a norwegapoo. an elkhound/poddle hybrid, but he has all the ornery, but loving traits of the norwegian

[auggiedoggy]

Ours died in October. :o(

Great breed. I'd get another without a second thought.

[SuperSneakySteve]

You should give your dog to me :D

[cliffspc]

@corbean10 cute puppy btw!^^

[cliffspc]

@TheSongSparrow doesn't even own a dog, so just disregard his pathetic rantings. He needs to get a life and stop lying to people on YouTube

[TheSongsparrow]

Any dog can be trained off leash. But only if the owner has half a brain. Your dog will get it only when you get it. If it isn't doing well off the leash, then it's you that need training. STOP BEING SO STUPID AND LEARN TO LOVE YOUR DOG. Learn what you dont know: It's you not your dog that needs training.

[darthofevil23]

@TheSongsparrow if dogs dont need training how do they learn tricks they dont just fuckin now how to sit on command and stay with u when walking out side true it is possible but 4 some dogs its hard and a dog isnt as smart as humans it wont get algebra when u get it and love doesnt make it do what u want .oh i love u now play dead fly .thats how dumb u are

[leahsgrace]

AW he's adorable! I love Norwegian Elkhounds!

[jazziefoshizzle]

omg is so cute i want one of those:D

My little lady, Moose, was terrified of her squeaky platypus the first time she saw it, but a couple of weeks later she went to the closet where we'd stored it and barked until we got it out for her. It's been her buddy ever since. She also barks at the thermostat (I'm not kidding) if she thinks it's too hot! She's twelve years old now, and recently had an expensive misadventure with a box of chocolate($469.34, not counting the candy), but she remains great company.

[MrsShinyPearl]

Aaww... How cute..<3

I have one norwegian elkhound home, soon we will get one more xD

[GSPDCanimalover870]

so adorable!!!

[BugsyMalone82]

[DeDuhDee]

[IamtherealKingDedede]

A friend of mine has a Norwegian Elkhound / German Shepherd cross. The dog is named Shep

[westcredit]

[westcredit]

wat a beauty he has grown into is that the real size or is he over grown

[desireeTX]

cute puppy by the way!! i wish mine would have stayed that small lol.

[sweetluvretro16]

I really want an elkhound, it's probably going to be named Fenrir.

[DeDuhDee]

@sweetluvretro16

as in Harry Potter?

[Krimzonbabe]

OMG I Approve of these comments :D I love Fenrir and Norwegian Elkhounds :D !

[corbean10]

i have a question for the norweigan elkhound owners: have any of you been able to train an elkhound off-leash?

[BruggsBunny]

haha never bothered to try.. i live out in the country so she had a 4 acre plot to roam

[JDRhoads07]

Yes I had a girl by the name of valkyrie for 12 years and she easily went out side by herself without any problems until she died last october.

[SweetPlague]

You shouldnt make it off-leash unless the dog is VERY obedient, its going to run away if it isnt.

[star45princess]

I have but when people are around they tend to get distracted. train with a very long skinny rope in a wide area and keep calling her name until they listen and if she goes to run away just step on the roope, they like it when they have some freedom to explore and after awhile they will goahead of you but if u walk away they wil follow just let them know ur walking away, it only took our dog a weekend to learn!and she is a norwegian elkhound!~

[desireeTX]

i have tried but Tank is very.. Easily distracted lol.

[deerhunt4lyfe]

nope lol

[R4wreth]

@corbean10 I don't have an elkie yet, but I've only seen a few that have been able to be trained off-leash.

[mrsoye2008]

@corbean10 We've got a a female that'll be 3 soon and she does really well off of her leash but she's also very timid and shy.

[mrsoye2008]

@corbean10 My husband and I have a female who will be three soon and she does well off of her leash ... but she is rather shy and timid.

[rugbyrules145]

@corbean10 Mines always been fine. I didn't actually really have to train him. I found with another dog that if you run with them they should run next to you and then if you slow down the pace until your walking they get used to it and just stick with you, worked for me anyway.

[MonicaRidesMoto]

@corbean10 Somewhat. Lucky has had a TON of training as a therapy dog and is very obedient. She's OK off-leash if she's just going out to the car or out front to pee, but I have to watch her the whole time to make sure she doesn't go chase down a bird and run off or something.

[auggiedoggy]

@MonicaRidesMoto : That was my experience with my Elkhound. For walks he was always on leash. If not he'd chase down birds, rabbits, skunks!!!

[MrEntei17]

@corbean10

nah, one of mine opens the back door by himself insted. He's called archie

[JohnDhizzle]

@corbean10 Yes my 8 yo Walks perfectly fine. But when she sees an other dog shes hard to control. but it works out :)

[desireeTX]

@corbean10 I've tried but its been hard, he has his days.

[BruggsBunny]
