Great thread!

1. When your husky disobeys you, how does he do it? i.e. talks back, runs away, turns a deaf ear, won't look you in the eye etc.

Mostly he just runs away and grab something, very bad thing to do Other thing is he starts to play and pretend that he didn't hear me, to make me obey him hahah But there are many other things, this two mostly.

2. What commands/tricks does your husky understand?

'Give me five', that is how it would sound in english, 'give paw', after that 'give other paw', 'sit', 'lay down' ( needs more training here or he doesnt like to lay down often ), 'wait', 'go', ( hmm, how to say this, o yes ), 'where is the ball' ( this fascinate me, he finds tennis ball, and if it is under bed or table where he can't get it he cry near that spot so i can get it to him ), 'where is toy' ( little funny sound rubber toy, he finds it and starts playing some weird sounds on it and brings it to me so i can trow it away and then he convict me to play ), 'who has come to you' or 'ko ti je došao ' ( he is already at front door, i don't finish the sentence at all, and he starts to dance of course, expecting company )... there are more but i don't wonna write as this things maybe aren't commands but i know he is very smart.

3. Where is your husky's favorite place to be scratched?

He makes him in crazy position and move his leg up when i scratch his belly, till 4 months his leg would dance but i think he has got fat now and it's very difficult to point 'dancing spot' now hehe Head would be at sec place, sometimes he fall a sleep when scratching him longer hehe

4. Does your husky always pull the leash/lead? (when you walk, run, bike etc.)

This is very very difficult thing, but with time i hope he will learn to walk by my legs, already showing signs of improvement but not too much. When we are returning home from morning walk, if i finish it earlier, then he walks slower and obey, just to stay out longer i think

5. Does your husky play fetch and bring back the item more than once if you throw it?

Yes, this game can last long, but i try finish it before him, so he don't get bored with it and, of course, i will be the one who stop it, and i let him start it also, that is not a problem i think.

6. Does your husky have any major/minor health issues?

I think this summer, which is too hot this year, affect him much, i am making it easier for him, sometimes we go to lake sometimes only to bathroom, also he has nice ambient in garden, and he do throw up ( this is how it is said? ) when eat too much grass i think, hope that it isnt big problem. Maybe someone can tell me if it will be a problem for his sight because one of his eye is a little brownish or red and mostly blue? Thanks

7. Is there anything that your husky does that totally drives you up a wall and annoys you?

He likes to bite and he do that while i am talking on the phone ( of course gently and i know he just wonna play, but sometimes it's bad thing to do, damn ) and it is hard to make him stop, must outsmart him as i don't wonna be aggressive to him.

8. What is your husky's favorite way to get exercise?

To run and run and run.

9. Does your husky have a comfort place, or toy, or person etc?

He enjoys plastic bottles that i let him play with in house only, and he loves my mother he is so jealous sometimes and he cry when she go out.

10. What is the strangest/naughtiest/worst thing your husky has done?

He did bite me once, not much just a warning i think, but it was his bone. Crazy dog Almost solved that issues, i think he would bite someone else who is after his bone and it wouldn't be a warning.

11. In a safe but limitless place, can your husky be trusted off leash? (Am asking because I've seen pictures of huskies off leash of leash on this)

I am afraid to do this, only few time so far in garden where he can easily run away, but i had his favorite juicy food so he comes back

12. How does your husky show you that he loves you? (This one is important to me because I can't tell if Smokey shows me affection without me knowing)

I test his loyalty, make some of my friends or my brother try to kick me and he get angry and jumps on them after that he lick my hands and i just see he is so good friend.
