For one reason or another, you are thinking of adding a Siberian Husky to your life. Perhaps you know of a family member who has to give up his or her dog, or came across a Siberian Husky in a local animal rescue public function. Siberian Huskies are incredibly beautiful dogs that perhaps you've admired from afar. But do you have what it takes to become a good Siberian Husky owner?
Siberian Huskies are not like most other dogs. They do not do anything and everything to please their owners. They are the lawyers of the dog world – they won’t do a thing until they see how it benefits them. However, they love company, especially among other dogs, but also have been known to get along well with children and other animals. They are usually wary with strangers and even tend to shy away from strange dogs. They are more serious in nature and not very silly.
You need to be aware of some Siberian Husky information before you bring one of these magnificent dogs home. They shed. They do very badly in hot, humid climates. They do very badly with the first time dog owner. They do very badly with timid people or the physically impaired. These dogs do not make good watchdogs, although they do bark on occasion. These dogs like to dig in your yard, so get used to it.
Siberian Huskies were bred to pull heavy sleds across ice and snow for hours at a stretch. Consequentially, they need plenty of exercise and at least a half hour walk every day in order to be anywhere near trainable. They need toys and a purpose to life so they do not get bored. Heaven help you if your Siberian Husky gets bored. They are escape artists and will destroy doors to get outside and find something to do.
Even though all dogs take their own time in learning anything, it generally is agreed in reliable breed information sources that Siberian Huskies take longer to train than most dogs. You must act confidently and speak firmly when giving commands in order to get their attention. Siberian Huskies will quickly bully a timid person, because they can see that a timid person does not deserve to lead a dog pack.
Siberian Huskies do not suffer fools gladly, but they will be loyal to the death for those they decide to follow. Siberian Huskies are not comfortable being leaders, despite their bossiness. They are more relaxed, less prone to loosing weight and engaging in bad behavior when they know their place. You must earn their loyalty through body language, persistence and positive reinforcement. This dog does not respect force or abuse of any kind. They either will defend themselves or (most likely) will become permanently frightened.
TheSiberian Husky can make a wonderful family pet if trained well at an early age.. You can go to the library or search the Internet for as muchSiberian Husky information as you need.
