Somers1992 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 So here's Cerberus. She's really beautiful and calm. Just want to start everything out right we've had no potty accidents so far.any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael_Astro Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 My tip is start training straight away, don't allow anything that you wouldn't want a full grown husky to do. When you're out walking her a lot of people will probably want to say hello to her, encourage her to sit and not jump up while they pet her. She will soon grow and all of a sudden people wont appreciate her jumping up at them! She is very cute but don't forget she will soon be a big bouncy dog Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulce_Travesura Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Rachael was right on the money! Also are you crate training her or no crate training? Take her out to potty after naps and each meal...I just got my husky also last week and so far no accidents inside either and he now lets me know when he has to go...[emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]Very cute love the color..Good Luck!Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a harness with 'Dog in Training please do not pet' will help enormously during your out times. You can cover or remove this when you are wanting to socialise her around ppl children infants. Dogmatic head collar aids to better Control and no-pull. A harness linked to this and a spare collar also linked to the lead also ensures no slip-offs or escape with a breakage.Snowpaws, Hooner's, SASS, K9 - all reliable good stuff for you.ROK stretch leads take the 'yank' off and a canibelt ( Snowpaws' basic great for me) with locking carabiners, maybe a bungee or bungee lead.. for extra give. Good luck.. Never off lead... they may seem 100% ok on recall ... until that one day & you may seriously regret it! High prey drive, inbuilt genetic roaming & wandering, hormones (!) And a love of running ... beware!Sent from my SM-G900F using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegma13 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Make sure you teach her that baiting is not good as soon as you can. This is a hard task. Never let her bait your hands or fingers when playing and if she does it, stop playing and let her alone.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can get bandanas for your dog with messages on too, through another contact. Ask Dave Lowe. [emoji847] Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile appAnother way is..when she starts anything unwanted behaviour immediately clip her lead and walk her out of the room into another room to be in solitary for a few minutes. They hate rejection. bring her back into the socialising room. when she's good - praise her with 'Good girl! No bite / Be nice!'If she starts again.. immediately and quietly take her out again; it won't take very long. [emoji847] This works for any undesirable behaviour indoors. It takes 30 reps to get a command to be understood and, remembered but also to be really instilled. and repetitions daily or several times a week are still important. Even we can 'lose it' (a skill) if we don't 'use it'. Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMANI & ALINAH Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 What are "prongs" in the training world??

Dogs walked with prong collars are subjected to pain and discomfort which leads to anxiety and aggression. Advocates of these collars say the pinch of the prong is supposed to mimic pups mum nipping to correct, but how does a dog make that comparison?? I think they’re cruel and should be banned.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMANI & ALINAH Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Oh ok. I think I may have seen the collar on a Great Dane a few years ago. I wonder if the prongs can break the skin & make it bleed. Then infection could occur. I wasn't sure what it was...but do now.Thanks@chelseafan!![emoji171]Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I cannot recommend a prong collar, e-collar or anything that can and will cause pain - to use as a deterrent or 'in a training" programme. 1. Pain causes fear 2. Fear creates mistrust. 3. Mistrust leads to more fear 4. More fear with loss of trust will cause reactive behaviour 5. Reactive behaviour can cause aggression 6. Aggression will lead to a bite 7. One bite creates fear in a human.. or anger.. and the whole circle starts again and escalates. This was only recently on tv here in the UK with every known dog behaviourist, psychologist, specialist, nonreactive trainer - and many also were involved in many other animal training. Once trust is broken, it may never be regained.. and, it has to be given.. and returned. It cannot be one-sided; that is a respect by fear view, not two - way respect one on one and trust - two way reciprocated. The pic shows a prong collar. If you haven't read Monty Robert's "Equus".. please do. He demonstrates real trust - and explains how to read and understandvnidy language in horses, but teaches you also to read a dog's or a deer's body language. He's fostered hundreds of kids too. [emoji847] I've met him.. amazing, wonderful and kind man. Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
