ayyyyy maybe I can be of some help!

Sounds like this dog has got a lot of pent up energy! 9/10 that's the reason for them being aggressive when playing.
Samoyed's were bred to work (herding, pulling sleds, etc.) and as a result, they do require a fair amount of exercise!
If they don't have a nice, big, fenced in yard (which they should play in for a couple hours a day doing an activity), then they definitely need about 2-3 long walks a day!

It doesn't say how old this girl is, but hopefully she's still in her "puppy" stage (which can last for 14 months or so lmaooo, the bigger the dog the longer the puppy stage).

When you take her out to use the bathroom, every time she goes outside give her a treat! This creates a positive association with using the bathroom OUTSIDE rather than inside.
With the positive reinforcement and the exercise I recommended, she should go to the bathroom inside a LOT less (but hopefully not at all).
A lot of dogs begin forming bad habits of using the bathroom indoors when they don't get enough exercise due to frustration and what not.

Also, if she's not spayed, DEFINITELY DO THAT 1000%
Spaying your dog should be TOP PRIORITY if you aren't a licensed breeder.
If she's not, that is probably 75% of what the problem is.
Dogs are a lot more...."wild" (for lack of a better term) when they aren't spayed because of all the extra hormones and instincts they got going on.
Also, she will be less prone to different types of cancer so win-win!

If you have any other behavioral issues, let me know! I've been working with dogs for two years now and am actually studying to be a dog trainer!

thank you! unfortunately we do not have a back yard otherwise this problem would, in all likelihood, be nonexisting. we live in an apartment, where she has another dog to play with, but even that doesn't seem to be enough.

regrettably, said roommate didn't particularly research what she was getting into, lol. but, were working on it.

I'm supposed to be in charge of walks but she's so damn high energy in comparison to my dog that it can be a daunting task lmao, so I don't actually do it often, so it is in part my fault, its just so hard when she's got so much ENERGY AND PERSONALITY

we do live close to a dog park that I should take her to its a matter of the weather here and how muddy she can potentially get

I'm not used to this kind of dog though which is why I was asking and this does kind of confirm my suspicion, which sucks because we are a relatively low energy household lMao BUT I will definitely be giving these things some tries and passing on this knowledge to everyone else haha

thank you! (also yeah she just turned a year in December )

ALSO she is spayed, for the record haha

Yeah...a lot of people get dogs cause they're cute, you know?
Even though they have great intentions research is ALWAYS important.

DEFINITELY give those tips and tricks a try
(also, I know its 2x as much work, but you should walk your dogs separately so you can focus on the Samoyed)

but honestly...I know it'd be a tough decision,
but there's really no shame in giving her back up for adoption.
I know that would suck A LOT, but certain breeds just have different requirements from their owners!
If she were to be much happier in a home that has a fenced in yard or has all the time in the world to take her for walks, then you should do what's best for her, you know??

As owners, we gotta do what's best for our pups, and sometimes that means finding a home for them that can give them exactly what they need if you can't

(STORY TIME BELOW, WARNING A TINY BIT GRAPHIC)
One time my family adopted a cat who was really high energy.
Me and my siblings were young so we didn't really know we had to play with the cat,
but the cat (as a result from not getting enough play time) became violent and ended up scratching my brother in the eye, tearing one of his optic tissues out D:
A Samoyed is WAY bigger than a tabby cat, they can do MUCH more damage.
Especially working breeds....they can get pretty aggressive and violent when cooped up.
You definitely don't want someone getting hurt just because she's not getting enough exercise, you know?

yeah, ive had to rehome a few dogs in the past, its always painful. but it's not really my dog, nor is it my position to suggest rehoming her, nor do i want to? because i can tell there's a wonderful dog in there; she's very sweet and cuddly, and playful, and all around great when not doing the things mentioned above

im sure with a little work on everyone's part, though as i mentioned she isnt my dog, that we can get a good thing going; not to mention we're only meant to be in this apartment possibly for the next 5 months - wherein afterwards we should be getting a house hopefully with a yard

also im really sorry about your brother!!

Oh don't worry about my brother, he's totally fine!

And that's super awesome to hear!
She only has to bear it for five more months and then she can run as much as she wants in your new yard!

Good luck with her! Samoyed's are stubborn and proud hahaha, but they're amazing dogs
If you need anything else, let me know!

I was about to say the thing about working dogs. Sammies are def not apartment dogs. They have to have a lot of room to play and have to be given specific tasks to do. They are highly intelligent dogs and if you don't give them "jobs" then they turn into little buttwipes.

I would strongly recommend either a) do a lot of googling and learn how to train dogs or b) if you have the funds, hire a trainer who specializes in stubborn dogs. Make sure they have experience with tough cases!!

If you can't afford to hire a dog trainer, you will have to just bite the bullet and do the research if your roommate won't. There is a subreddit dedicated to dog training ( www.reddit.com/r/dogtraining/ ) where you may be able to get some more personalized help/may be a good place to start!

If the walks are daunting because she pulls, I can recommend you use a "Gentle Leader" leash or an anti-pull harness (the ones that tie at the front of the chest) , but that dog has to be taken out. Often. If you can't do the three long walks as recommended, start with short walks around the block, maybe to the park, and back.

I also have an active dog that just NEEDS to go out, otherwise she becomes ill-mannered and impatient. I'm also an extremely low energy person, but I have found that walking her two to three times a day around the block are enough. She just needs to get out of the house and smell the fresh air to not feel "caged". As a note, we don't have a yard either, and it's a very small house so the walks are necessary.

They range in average to about 10-20 minutes depending on how fast she wants to go (I try to follow her pace as exercise for myself), and we spend two to fours hours at the dog park once a week so she gets to socialize with other dogs.

Usually the scents, noises and activities outside, happening around her are enough to keep her mind busy. Since she spends most of the time inside the walks can be overwhelming. As a note, and so you know, she doesn't come back home tired, I can't tire her, she's too active. But, she comes back with a better attitude, she listens, and rarely has "accidents", she likes to save it for when we go on walks, which she knows WILL HAPPEN at least twice a day.

adding on to the group discussion you might invest in a little weighted vest to help burn off more energy during the walks? So you don't have to walk as much but she still gets more energy burned!

I actually did this a few hours a day 1-2.5 for the a Doberman who are also know to have extremely high energy demands and it's helped tremendously with his attention and behavior in the house. :)

Yeah, it's not because the roommate doesn't discipline her. In fact, that would likely make your issues worse by instilling fear or frustration into the dog. As others have said, she's probably just bored, and that more enrichment activities would be beneficial to her wellbeing. This means getting high reward treats, Kongs, puzzle toys, things that can keep her mind and body involved.

As for the accidents with the other dog, they seem very stressed. A housebroken dog having accidents occasionally isn't that bad but what's happening definitely sounds like a case of bad anxiety.

If I repeat what has already been said, let me know.

First: A tired dog is a happy dog. exercise, exercise, exercise. It's a must. She is a bored, high energy dog. This is what she has done to keep herself entertained.

An obedient dog is a dog that lives under the rule that 'nothing is for free'. As long as she isn't food aggressive. I'd start offering her the food she eats daily as treats. I'd feed her a very small rationed amount, then feed her the bulk as treat for doing commands and being behaved. If her food is not enough to get her to listen, still ration her food, but give her high value treats like bland chicken or any treat she like. (i'd aim for something either peanut butter flavored or beef jerky like. they are very high value to most dogs.

If she is a nuts, anxious dog, then also remember to reward her when she is laying down and calm as well. It will positively reinforce the calm.

My vet had a ton of success training her stubborn girl to go to the bathroom outside by tethering her leash to her belt and keeping the dog next to her at all times and if she showed any signs of trying to go, she'd take her outside. it's about consistency and rewarding her for going outside. If she goes inside, I'd ignore her and start from square one. Once you're more confident, then I'd increase her ability to roam away from you slowly. If she is failing all of this, give her some benefit of the doubt. She may have an underlying urinary issue that is facilitating some of this. UTI, crystals, stones, ect.

Clean all areas she went with an enzymatic cleaner because most house hold cleaners will still leave a smell that most dogs can recognize which may be why your dog is urinating in the house now.

If the aggression is that bad and is inhibiting your training her, then you'll need a professional. Aggression can escalate in training situations. Do not use any negative related approach to train. Do not use correction devices without professionals.
