jazy_911 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I've recently noticed my 4 months old husky's behavior is unlike the other husky; he's always tired i guess and lying down, when walking him he stops in the middle and refuses to continue walking, he runs away when I try to approach or anyone else, when I try to play with him he runs to a corner and sits there without moving, when the other husky plays with him again he sits there without moving as if he's scared. Is this behavior normal? he is always sitting down laying his head on his hands and watching what we do he only moves and runs towards me when its time to feed him .

brincatmark Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 In the wild sick huskies move away from their pack otherwise they are attacked by the pack members themselves. Sick huskies hinder pack hunting and activity so they protect themselves in this way. You should make sure your husky is fine healthwise by seeing a vet. Hopefully, and I think this is the case, The dog's character is just like that. Some dogs are hyper, some seem shy and reserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice and Cripton Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 It could be 2 things: - You got the nervous pup of the litter, in which you really need to make all new situations positive ones, the fix for this problem would be proffessional dog training or He's sick and needs to see a vet, it might be worth letting him have a check-up, take his temp, heart beat, and if you describe how he is acting; they may wish to do further tests. Alaska was always lethargic when she was ill Puppies go through fear stages in which proper socialisation needs to take place, Alaska went through a few, even now she doesn't seem to like her head being touched or certain strangers!! Do let us know how it goes:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hiya, welcome to the pack, hopefully he is just taking a back seat & watching his sister & your other pup playing; as suggested, he may have that temperament - shy & reserved, but definately get him checked out to put your mind at rest, Good luck, let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrysibe Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I had to laugh "In the wild sick huskies move away from their pack otherwise they are attacked by the pack members themselves. Sick huskies hinder pack hunting and activity so they protect themselves in this way." Sorry but I think you will find that huskies are not wild animals, maybe you men't to say wolves LOL As for the puppy, I would give him more one to one time with you, he may be intimated by the others playing and has yet to find his place in the pack, give him time to know and trust you then spend time helping him settle in the pack, is he eating alright and drinking. what is the temprature also, sometimes heat and humidity can upset a pup if sensative, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do let us know how it goes:) Hey ya, Welcome to the site!! I would defo agree with the quote above and get a cheek over by the vet to rule out any illness. In the mean time You should try to make the home inviroment a safe and welcoming place for your sibe in order for him to settle in and not feel so scared (maybe crate training?) But I would have a chat with a proffessional dog trainer or behaviourist to double cheek. Keep us posted on how you get on and I hope your sibe settles in well!! xx xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
