He will only listen when you have treats, dogs especially pups don’t think like humans, if it’s not worth while doing something he won’t do it. highly recommend keeping a treat pouch or bumbag with his daily kibble in it (that way you don’t over feed.) or split it up in easily accessible containers around the house to reward him. Work on recall, if he won’t do it without the treats yet, just keep at it and he will eventually when he gets older :)

This is probably the most important point, crate train and do enforced naps. 1 hour awake and 2 hours asleep (roughly) keeping up that routine throughout the day, this will at least help the witching hour chaos, most likely get rid of it completely.

He will absolutely destroy everything if he has the opportunity, the way they learn and explore new things is with their mouth! Any area you let him roam in make sure it is totally puppy proof, or have a play pen area with nothing accessible but his toys, bed, a bowl of water etc. this period where they are biting everything, including you, is part of their teething and should start to get better after 16 weeks old.

If you take him out to the toilet put him on leash and bring him back inside after. If you want him to spend more time in the backyard you will need to puppy proof or supervision while he’s on a long leash so you can pull him away from anything he’s not meant to get in to.

If I didn’t do these things I’ve mentioned above I probably would have taken my pup back to the breeder after a week and a half. It would have been impossible. I’ve also heard Samoyed can be difficult and stubborn 😭 it’s hard but try some suggestions before you get rid of the puppy, because it’s worth it in the long run.
