They tend to form a special bond with children and are easy to train, making them ideal family dogs. As a versatile working dog, the Chinook thrives as a backpacking, hiking, jogging, or skijoring partner, or when training and competing in agility or sledding events. They are not a protection breed and do not make good guard dogs. They generally get along well with other dogs and are friendly with people, but might be somewhat reserved in unfamiliar surroundings.
