RJWR Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hey all, so i've just ordered some canicross gear from indi dog. I have two huskies. Both are a handful and both are rescue dogs. Taylor is 3.5 and Blaze is 20 months. My plan is to start running with them both before i hook up the bike. They pull quite hard on the lead and occasionally start to play with each other, which whilst hooked up to a lead is another level of challenging. Can anyone offer any advice of how to start encouraging direction changes, start/stop, slow etc...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 start doing it while walking I have found that that was the easiest for me...I just used left and right left-by right-by and whoaaa for slow down...and it does become handy while walking as well funny when I go down stairs with my 2 and go whoaa...whoaaa...stop...LOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes only 10 months so im waiting till 18 months to work him. He seams to live for it and really enjoys it.

RJWR Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 i read a few websites that listed "official" husky commands, however in the interest of me not looking too mad, ill keep to left and right I also use "go" for moving forward. Well really its "go,go,go" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I had a lot of advice on this forum when I started to train my two, 'walk on' is my favourite, an absolute must for walking mine. Cai picks commands up quickly but it takes a while for Luka. Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWR Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I had another go today, i think they are getting left and right, but it could just be natural sense of direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWR Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 so blaze is much better at pulling a bike or me Taylor doesnt seem interested at all in anything husky related. She prefers a trot down the road puffing her tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
