We have been slowly working with him on crate training. I have left him in the house a couple of times by himself if I had to run a quick errand. He has done very well. I have moved his crate from our study room to our bedroom and it has made a difference. Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment, so he was in his crate for about 2 hours. I felt bad. For the first time I didn't hear him crying and howling when I got out of the car. When he was crated in the study room he was howling and crying, which was making our other 2 dogs do the same. I think they were all stressing each other out. I have been staying with him in the livingroom at night so, everyone else in the house could sleep, but I gave up last night. I sat the alarm on my phone for every 2 hours so I could get up to see what he was doing. He was asleep each time I checked on him. When he woke up during the night he came into our room whimpering because he was looking for someone. I took him outside each time, went back to bed, woke up this morning and no accidents. So, maybe we are making some progress.

When we picked up Loki we were told that we could trace him back to Togo. When we received his AKC papers in the mail today , I started researching from Loki's AKC paper and Togo was 24 litters ago on Loki's Dad's side. We have had Loki for 9 days now. The first week was alot of adjusting having a puppy in the house and it made for a rough week. This second week is going much better, and he acts like he is more comfortable with us now. Husky's are no doubt everything we were told, smart and stubborn. He has been doing a very good job going to the backdoor to be let out, and he has thrown a couple of temper tantrums. Lol. He has a big personality, and howl for a 7 week old puppy. It's taking about 30 min after we get home to calm him down after he is crated. If anyone has any suggestions as to what we can do to help him be ok while we are gone please let us know. We are leaving him long enough to run errands, dr appointments, etc. The longest he has been left at one time was about 1 1/2 hours. Thanks

Thank -you! We were told to use his regular food for treats until then.

I was wondering if anyone could give us any information about dog treats for Loki. We were told not to give him any dog treats until he is 4 months old due to puppies digestive systems. I have always given my puppies treats, but have never had a husky. Would any of you give a 6 week old puppy dog treats? Loki is doing very well so far when it comes to house breaking. He hasn't used the bathroom in his kenneling area and has been scratching at the door when he needs to go outside. I feel like we should be rewarding him with treats instead of just telling him that he's a good boy. However, we don't want to start giving him treats too soon.

Thank-you! He's a handful. Lol.

Picking up Loki

Thank -you all. We are excited about what's to come with him. Having a husky is going to have it's challenges. We have started crate training him. So far he has been good although he has alot to learn. If he lives up to his name we are in trouble. Lol. He went to the vet today and everything looked good with him. He weighs 9 1/2 lbs today.

Today was the day. We got Loki!
