Edyna Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thank you very much for being so welcoming. The fact that I have your support and your experiences here makes me feel more confident. And yes, I have to correct myself, we are being owned by a Husky, and everything we are doing it is under his strong supervision . But I adore them because they are stubborn independent thinkers. Leo is from Serbia I am from Moldova (living temorarely in Serbia). Here are some pictures of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinville Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Leo is a handsome pup! Welcome to the site and hello from the U.S. This breed is exceptional as you've already discovered - a challenge sometimes, but well worth it! I have a 'golden oldie' - he's pushing 15 years old. I wish you many, many years of fun with Leo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edyna Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Many thanks to all of you. Sometimes I'm thinking about the second one . Leo doesn't like to be home alone, he will do his best to escape (I think this is his main purpose in life)... I have to mention that I don't leave him alone for more than 2 hours a day and only after a long walk or a play with other dogs. He have learned immediately how to get out of crate. After we decided to enforce the crate door, he destroyed it. How long are you walking you dogs? I have the impression that our never gets tired. He has a short walk in the morning, a long walk during the day (around 5 km) and in the evening around 1,5 hours play with other dogs or an another long walk. Here are few videos with him. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=edugud&search_type=&aq=f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, I would be very careful when letting Leo out there as he will find a way out if possible. Where I used to live, it was fenced in. When she was a pup, she dug her way out on a few occasions. I had to dig along much of the perimeter of my yard to attach screen, and bury it to keep her in the yard. I walk my dog 15 minutes twice a day as a general rule. I also run with her in my yard and take her on unscheduled long walks from time to time, or I will take her to a park and walk there.

Sarah Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Oh great video's !! He so playful and boisterous lol General rule of thumb is 5 mins for ever month in age so Leo's 6 months = 30 mins exercise per day this to ensure they don't damage their growing joints. If he still doesnt seem tired try mental stimulation eg - training, play a game, groom him etc The more you give them the more they seem to want lol I've had to put cable ties on the crates now as my boys are like Houdini lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edyna Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 shedalot, we have a small yard but is not an appropriate one for a Husky. I don't leave him unsupervised over there, he can easily escape but also is digging. He is such a eager digger, if I will leave him home alone, the first thing he will do, will be to dig up the flowers (he is upset). The other day he started to dig a tree we have in the yard, and he was so quick.... I didn't know about this rule, Sarah. Do you think his joints could suffer because I'm walking him much longer than recommended? Now I really don't think we can reduce the time to 30 min daily. I'm glad that you liked the videos .
