4. Malamutes of Alaska

They are strong pack animals that require strict training and strong leadership. Many people believe that if the breed is not properly handled, it will become confused, charge at people, and perhaps even turn violent. They should be properly maintained because they have a strong urge to hunt prey. Another important aspect is that they learn slowly, which requires a lot of patience during training. This breed is task-oriented, which means that until instructed otherwise, they will run in the direction intended when attached to a sled or given a command. The risk exists as a result. With the right training, injuries from even a large Alaskan Malamute can be avoided.
