Answer 3

First of all, it is vitally imporant to validate his primary culture and his mother tongue. Attempting to eradicate his Russian heritage or to force him to forfeit his ethnic background would derprive him of the richness of his ancestoral ties, deny him the benefits of bilingualism, and essentially force him to choose between two diferent "worlds". Instead, make it your goal to have him become truly bilingual and bicultural.

During the initial phase of his learning, I would limit the amount of time he spends with Russian Wolf Hounds and attempt to involve him with English Setters in relaxed social settings. You want to reduce the affective filter that would prevent assimilation of the new language by giving him comprehensible input in a language-rich environment in a low-pressure, low anxiety setting. As he hears the barking patterns and howling pitches of this new social circle, in such a setting, he's going to begin to understand and eventually to speak their language.

Meanwhile, realize that this all takes time. English is a much more difficult language for Russian-speaking dogs to acquire due to the lach of linguistical ties between the Slavic languages and the Germanic languages, of which English is one. During this time, keep your expectations low key. Speak to him in English, even if he answers you in Russian, and attempt to keep the lines of communication open. Eventually, he'll be a balanced bi-lingual, able to bark in either language with fluency and accuracy.
