Expert Answer

Train an Alaskan Malamute from 3-4 months. Though intelligence is not yet peak, early training builds good habits and obedience. Start with simple skills like sit, down, shake.

Use food to attract attention, then give a command. When it performs correctly, reward it with food.

After repetition, the Alaskan links food, command, and reward.
