We took in a second Husky a little over a year ago so he would have a good home, however we are having some awful behavior problems with him. I have never had a dog that absolutely doesn’t listen or learn. He has food aggression with my female husky and will tussle with her if she even enters the room where his food is. He has a good 50 pounds on her and am afraid he is going to injure her. However, my main concern is that he has started biting our human friends that enter the house. We keep him gated in the kitchen so he is separated when we have company but now he has gotten ahold of two people good enough to break the skin. I really am concerned I need to find h…

Needing some help with crate training at nite. Iv had the pup for just over 1 week. iv started leaving her in the crate lastnite for the first nite. came down every 2 hours to let her out for a pee. if only it was that simple.... first time i came down she had pooped and made a hell of a mess. she screamed for 7 hours constantly. My wife is loosing the plot and i know wot is coming next if this continues for a number of weeks. Should i continue with leaving her in kitchen in crate with a lite on or should i bring cage into livingroom and lay next to the crate? I think bringing her into livingroom may be the wrong move but interested to see what you all think. The…

This morning, my husband tried to be nice and let me sleep in. He got up and took care of the zoo and took my daughter to school. That meant the pups were in the living room unattended for about 30 minutes. (I leave them all the time alone to take her to school and never had an issue) I woke up to a strange noise. When I came out, this is what I saw! I tried to clean it up and was going to put the couch over it before he got home. LOL I didn’t have it covered in time. Boy is he 😡. In defense of my hubby, I am making him sound like an &$@##* but,,,For those that don’t know: my pups don’t just chew things up, they eat whatever it is! This …

Hi, My boy is now 15 month old he's very boisterous which the I realise the breed is. I take him out on two long walks every day rain or shine , morning and night. On a weekend I do longer walks on the hills and Moors. When I meet other dogs he's a hyper idiot. Even other huskies are calm when they meet him but he's straight up jumping all over them . I've been told he will calm down. At what age did your husky start to grow up. He has been nuetered.

Hello... I have quite a big problem and am desprate for help. So, my 10 month old husky is extremely overexcited whenever she sees another dog, I swear, I can barerly see a dog in the distance but she will see it and act upon it and I immediately know what’s going on. It is no aggressive behavior, but she is extremely playful and wants to play. She pulls like crazy in his direction, if I were to let her she would storm off, she jumps up and keeps on her front paws, will not obey anything or even look at me, if I try to walk away she plants herself and will not move, I can only walk very slowly with my hands hurting because I have to pull her, meanwhile she will not cooper…

Hi all, First time posting on this forum and I am looking for some advice. I have a pure breed male husky and a Dogue de bordeaux when it comes times to dinner time, where the husky become aggressive towards the other dog over food. The husky has been known to became protective of my son when people enter the yard. While feeding both dogs this time, from either end of the yard, both dogs engaged in a fight. I then tried to separate both dogs when the husky then latched onto my arm that caused punctures / gash on my arm. This is where i require advice. I am not sure if i should either put him down or rather re-home the dog, but something has to be don…

I have had my dog for almost two years now and she is very aggressive! We have another husky and she clearly wants to maintain alpha so she is constantly biting him if he gets near her food ( he knows not to eat her food) so we had to start feeding them in their crates. She also will growl and bite us if we get near her food. It’s a huge problem because if we’re in the house and not looking and she gets ahold of something she’s not supposed to then it’s impossible to get it away because she becomes so aggressive it’s scary. Shows her teeth, sinks lower, growls, and will bite! I’ve been bitten quite a few times. I don’t know what to do. If anyone can help it would be much …

After 3 months of going back and forth with companies getting the correct size and finding a really good quality harness, we finally got ones that work. I know that they are too young (10 months) to “pull” but my male drops his shoulders and digs in when I run him. He apparently only has two speeds now. Slow easy going walk or full on. LOL Would it hurt his growth plates if he really digs in on a run hooked to just me or my husband? We are both average weight. The harnesses are the freemotion from Non-stop. I am also looking into getting a motorized scooter so I can run them without them actually pulling it.

Hi everyone, Firstly please be kind in the replies I am feeling so delicate and I know what I am about to say may be upsetting for some people. Today I had my first thought of "maybe we made a mistake" For background - we have had our lad for nearly a year now and have consistently worked on training, setting boundaries and creating the right routine for us and our lad. We took him to puppy classes which helped a huge amount with his training and socialising and we continue to train for at least 30 minutes a day. Now at 14 months our lad is a star at home, rarely causes issues and responds extremely well to a number of commands. Now onto our lad out…

So after my girl went for a 45 minute free for all yesterday after breaking her collar, she slipped through the back door and was loose in the backyard. For the first few minutes I didn’t mind and even allowed her brother to romp around with her (without their muzzles). I kept the slider open to keep an eye on them and once they were done I called them in with no issue. Well, this morning I noticed that a blanket that was left out on the couch looked a little funny. yep, two big wholes!!! I couldn’t find the peace’s anywhere and the edge was still wet. Now, I knew it was the girl because the boy was asleep with me all morning. But sti…

Hi, I plan on getting a husky puppy soon and I’m no stranger to dogs. I have a husky/Pyrenees mix and a yorkie now but I am pretty rusty on current training techniques. I have to admit that I didn’t train the two I have now but they are relatively well behaved (except for jumping on me, but I’m beginning to work on that). Both are very laid back and love to please, thankfully. They are non-aggressive towards people and other dogs. I can’t say the same thing about wild rabbits that might show up in my backyard though. Anyway I recently learned that alpha rolling is a no-no and I started researching techniques that do work. It’s not something I used very much and thankfully…

Okay my husky is not showing aggression but she’s becoming jealous of people near me like for example when ever she’s next to me or in my lap and a family member sits near us she will literally start kicking them till they are out “our space”. If we are at the vet and the doctor is talking to me she will put her face directly in front of me and wine and do high pitch barks then literally start pushing the doc back! if I’m not around she is the perfect angel with every one and even more perfect when it’s just us ...... she guards me when walking alone ( which I love) she makes sure I’m safe and growls when she hears an odd sound ....she’s been through training and list…

I was looking for away to connect with other Husky owners in my area. Unsled trained dogs.... We don’t have any annual events or anything (yet- I am reaching out to some rescues and shelters to see about getting some started). But I came across a really cool app. Then you select what rescue group you are walking for It is so cool and easy.

Posted an intro. Basically we've had a husky for 3 weeks. I grew up with many dogs - puppies through rescues. So far our pup is low maintenance - but I'm still learning about this breed. He's docile indoors, loves doggy day care and other dogs, but there are some issues. My fiancee has a cat, but he has a strong prey drive - good lord he is fast. He's killed a couple squirrels before we can blink and eyes our cat like it's a nice lunch. We definitely keep them separated. Is there any hope for coexistence? He's two, and I don't want to ruin him with excessive training, if that exists. He also has separation anxiety and can't be alone (we never leave him home alo…

My three months old Husky, Ice, jumped on the couch to allegedly lay with me. However, his cuddles lasted less than 3 minutes, as he got up, stood on my midsection and peed on me. This has never happened to me in my life. A few days earlier, he peed on my son in his bed. I was hoping this was a one-time thing or an accident, but now, I'm scared. I've never owned a Husky before and I've never been peed on. Not even accidentally. Is this a Husky thing or is my dog channeling R. Kelly?[emoji26] Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app

Hi, Was wondering if anyone can recommend any good and durable dog toys. Ones that will provide entertainment and ones that will also stimulate their brains? Thanks Amanda

Advice please 😢 our little girl Rusty is having a hard time in her crate at night and when the crate door is locked when sleeping in the day.When the crate door is locked she scratches and chews the bars but worse is she keeps messing even when she’s been for a wee and poop before going in the crate. We’ve tried last night for the first night to leave her be after 4 nearly sleepless nights, but coming down every 2 hours as per her toilet schedule we’ve made note of, to let her out for a toilet and reassure her we are still here and it’s ok. We don’t praise her when she comes out of the crate. We leave a chew toy her Kong with some of her kibble or treats in. Tried the tic…

Hi, I need your advice please. Luna is 8 weeks old and the last week her behaviour has been pretty bad. When I come in from work I get a lovely welcome but then she starts biting my feet and legs. If I tell her off then she just comes back worse. Bites my hands and my face. Not nibbles but hard bites that hurt. I’ve tried time out for 30 seconds at a time but most times she wees even though she goes to the back door when she needs to go toilet. She will not listen at all. Me and my boyfriend are so stressed and frustrated and we don’t know if this is normal behaviour or if we have a very bad puppy. I’m hoping it’s normal. She has her second injection on the 4th Decem…

Hi, We have had Luna since she was 5 1/2 weeks old and she just turned 8 weeks Saturday gone. Since we had her she has been sleeping with us on our bed. I have read that it’s good to crate train them for when we have to go out of the house etc. Is it still possible to crate train her? What size crate would you recommend and any tips on the best way to train her to feel happy in her crate would be great. Just to add that Luna hasn’t had an accident for 3 days. She goes to the back door when she needs to go toilet and last night my boyfriend let her out at 2am and then she slept until I got up for work at 7am. She’s doing really well for being just 8 weeks old rig…

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone had any advise on: My female is trying to use her crate for when she doesn't want to be bothered by her brother. But he keeps going in her crate and messing with her. I want to keep their crate doors open so they can go in and out. How do I keep him out of hers? Thank You,

Hi, Learning my boy the commands just got myself a great second hand scooter. When I'm looking at the rig and Google there is lots of contradictions on it. I would like some advice from someone who does use a scooter to excercise their sibe. What's the length of the line recommended please. I do have a 6ft long bungee leash plus harness which is a husky harness. Is 6ft leash long enough or would I need to attach this to a longer gangline.

It has come under my attention that my puppy might have SA due to whenever I leave the room for even just a few min he tend to whine, It is quite sad as the whine tend to make you feel bad for leaving them.Yet I know that he needs to learn to be okay on his own,hoping for some advice to help him get through it. As I am worried that it might go on for a long time if not fixed asap.

Hey, Had our puppy for nearly a week now. She’s 6 weeks gone Saturday. The breeder let her go early because her Mam had rejected the puppies. My question is, what is the best way to stop biting? I’ve read conflicting info online and was wanting to know from actual owners on what works and what doesn’t. What we should do and what we shouldn’t? I read we should grab the scruff. Is this correct? Should it be done every time the puppy bites? Should we grab it and then take her to the floor on her side? Thanks Amanda
