Siberian Husky Training

Information on Training Your Siberian Husky Dog or Puppy

The Siberian Husky puppy is an active and excited prankster, full of a zest for life and a seemingly endless desire for play. This playful and mischievous behavior usually lasts well into adulthood, making the Siberian Husky an entertaining companion for many years. With children, he is usually gentle and protective, enjoying games where he races around and plays tag as opposed to knock down and wrestling games. Huskies love to run and the opportunity to give chase to things is seldom turned down.

While gentle with children in most cases, the Siberian Husky does retain a lot of "wild" aspects - They prefer the company of other Huskies and are usually pack-minded. While this means that they are protective of home and family, it also means that one must establish dominance or "alpha" status with their Husky or disobedience and pranking is common.

Additionally, Huskies can also be troublesome with other animals, particularly smaller ones. Some are known for a penchant for running deer, while others will attack birds, rabbits and cats - not out of malice, but simply due to a natural tendency to do this. One way to help alleviate this problem is to raise your Husky puppy around these animals and integrate them into the family, so your Husky learns to tolerate them. Even so, playtime should be observed, in order to ensure all are safe.

Training your Siberian Husky requires time, patience and a gentle nature. Huskies do not respond well to a heavy hand or loud voices but, instead, learn best by repetition and with lots of praise to reinforce positive behavior. Consistency and routine are a must when training your Husky puppy.
