Care Tips for West Siberian laikas

1

Regular Exercise: West Siberian Laikas are active and energetic dogs that require plenty of physical activity. Ensure they get daily exercise through long walks, runs, or play sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.

2

Consistent Training: These dogs are intelligent and can be independent, so consistent and firm training from an early age is essential. Use positive reinforcement techniques to teach commands and socialization skills to manage their natural hunting instincts.

3

Proper Grooming: Their dense double coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting and manage shedding. Increase grooming frequency during seasonal shedding periods to keep their coat healthy and reduce hair around the home.
