Blue Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 What signal does you husky give to if he wants to go out and do his business ? Blue is giving us no signal yet if we dont see the tell tale signs he needs to go out. Any tips on this one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 My 2 pace up & down toward the conservatory door, Diesel will then just sit there looking at the door, Myshka will walk back to you, look at you & give a little yap to attract our attention. That's how we know, they taught us the signs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 im having this problem with kira, she'll walk into the back room and if no one goes with her (and sometimes we're not able to see her) she just goes on the floor, i'v tried teaching her to scratch/tap on the door but she wont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibe77 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Grey just jumps up at the door....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 My boys jump up at the back door as well - they've now sussed how to open it so just let themselves out the back lol - just need to teach them how to close it now especially with winter coming up!! Someone on here - can't for the life of me who it was - has taught their husky to press a bell on the floor when they want out - not sure how hard that is to train though but then again anything is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Smithy will do the trotting backwards and forwards towards the back door, then eventually 9 times out of 10 open it himself. Noushka will plod up to the back door barking and lick the door and give a wooo wooo. If we don't listen to this then she will plod back in the room, stare in your face and WOOF!!! Time to go out...

Alex T Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Isis either jumps on our laps or jumps up at the back door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiya Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Kaiya will wait at the door and if we don't notice she will walk over to us then walk to the door looking back to make sure we follow. It takes a lot of patience, but you will get there. The one tip I can give, always take him out the same door and a lot of praise when he does his business (yes your neighbors will be in their windows laughing at you for getting so excited).

KaylaR13 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Dakota will sit by the door then walk over to me then back to the door. My friend put a set of bells on the door knob and her dog will ring them when he needs to go out, wish Dakota would do that but no luck.

madmum Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 you do have to be vigilant when they are so little,cos if you are not watching them you will miss any signals they do give such as sniffing,turning round and round,or pacing back and forth.when our springer was tiny i taught him to bark at the doors to open them,choosing a time when he was not desperate to go out gave me time to stand there saying "say woof sam"over and over again rewarding even the most feeble whine with the door being opened and a big fuss.gradually developing the bark,we have never had a problem with him in the house.Since getting Max who is now just 9 weeks he is already being taught to do the same.Yes i do feel a bit of a plonker standing ,bobbing up and down barking so he will copy me:o but a bark i can hear from other rooms in the house,i cant always see him signalling me silently:grinning-smiley-003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 even tho we have only had ice a week he goes to his lead and harness and nudges it to let us know when he wants out but then again when ever we go near the front door he wants to come out with us lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrod Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Start a keyword: Like do you wanna go out, or something like that so when you say it they know what yo mean. Do it at the same time if you can. Get some bells to hang and show them how to pull or ring them and go out. Doggie door??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Bo goes to the door and gives us a "woooo". Should we not open the door for him quickly enough, he walks right up to us and gives us a sharp "woof" indicating his displeasure at our lack of promptness.

utahraptr Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Haley goes and sits by the door, or she'll pace if she really has to go. Kahtadin is working on potty training. He goes to the door sometimes, but if he doesn't go to the door, he paces and acts different. He'll sniff around in corners, or go off by himself in another room. SOmetimes he sits down and stares at us with this odd look lol and Jay says "Do you have to go out" and he gets excited and goes to the door.
