Snow Pack Malamutes

Two important links above, how to naturally keep your malamute healthy and activities you can do with your malamute !

Raising puppies

Its important to remember that when you get your new puppy, you are starting from scratch. A blank slate. A new born that needs to learn everything.  They don't understand a word you say so please be patient as you teach them everything you want them to know. 
The first few weeks with your new puppy is very stressful. Everything is brand new. Your puppy is scared. He/she will be missing his/her mom and siblings. The more patients you have and understanding, the faster this process will go
Over stressing your new puppy can and probably will make them sick. It can actually make them very sick. I understand its exciting getting a new puppy, but your new puppy's health and security is more important in the beginning. So please give him/her space the first few days and let them adjust without pressure.
Potty training
when your puppy leaves our home, he/she only knows to potty outside. They do not know and have never pottied on anything other then  natural ground.  So the more time you can have your puppy outside the first couple weeks, the faster training will go for you.  Puppy pee pads only teach them to potty on things, not to go outside ! If you allow them to do this once on a blanket, towel, pee pad, then they will think it is ok to potty on things and training will be so much more difficult. 
Puppy Shots
This is always a tough one. It is a judgement call. Please research on duckduckgo the dangers of canine shots. Also research the dangers of preventive care for dogs. 
Most people just do it without thinking twice and then wonder why later on their dogs has problems. A lot of the effects are serious like bad allergies, seizures, endless hot spots and all kinds of illnesses. Many dogs become chronically ill and owners spend a ton of money every year trying to figure out why.  Way the pros and cons for where you live and the side effects. Do not use google. 
Leash Training
Start with a light weight 20 ft leash. When the pup gets to the end of the leash, lightly tug and say, far enough. Keep doing this. This teaches distance. It gives them some freedom but also teaches limits. After you accomplish this, then you can work with a 10 and then shorter. Take your time with this. Allow them some freedom. Start in a large open area. Use the commands above right from the start. Also use "leave it" when they sniff or pick something up that you don't want them to. Teach the brain right from the very beginning !
Never allow your pup to pull you out of control. Allowing this when young leads to an out of control adult.
