The training and care of a Malamute is a subject dear to my heart. It is dedicated to my best friend, Koda, who died of hip dysplasia and arthritis the last day of May 2016.

Learn the particulars of your favourite breed of dog before you bring them home. Each dog has many different characteristics that makes them unique. Train them well and with consistency. This book gives ideas on how to train your Malamute to be happy with a crate as a secure spot, how to potty train, how not to bark, and how to stop jumping on people.

Also included in the book are recipes for making your own dogfood at home. Dog lovers around the world are sceptical about the chemicals and preservatives that are in commercial dog foods. Making your own dog food at home gives you the opportunity to control what your dog eats and in what proportions.

Read the section on Potty Training. There are ideas in this section that might make your life easier.

Finally, enjoy your new best friend. Take care of him/her with kindness; treat her/him like you would want to be treated.
