Steps

Part 1 of 3: Training your Husky

   Help your Husky settle in. Social inclusion teaches puppies to interact appropriately with many aspects of the environment (e.g. humans, fellow humans), which helps them develop into a confident and well-mannered dog. Allow your puppy to spend time with different people and experience a variety of sights and sounds.
   • Puppy training is a great way to teach your young husky how to interact with other dogs. Put your dog in training when he or she is 4-5 months old.
   • Alternatively, you can help settle your dog by taking on different situations in the environment, such as the sound of the car moving and the siren. You can invite friends over to let your dog get used to meeting new people.
   • Taking your puppy to the park is also a great way to expose your puppy to a variety of people, sounds, and scenery.
   • Watch your puppy explore new worlds. If your dog is scared or alert, don't try to force him through the situation.

2. 

   
   
   Join an adult Husky in an obedience training class. By nature, the Husky is an extremely independent and intelligent dog. However, they are sometimes very stubborn, making it difficult to train. Command training is best for a Husky.
   • Enroll your husky in "young" command training when they are 4 months old and follow up on adult training when they are 12 months old. For your husky to obey, it is best to train them from a young age.
   • Be careful Husky can use his intelligence to distinguish the training class from the house, maybe they perfectly demonstrate the training exercise in class, but when they come home they will not obey. If this is the case, then you need to continue giving your dog home practice.

3. 

   
   
   Train your husky in a cage. This is especially important if you have a puppy. The cage training helps to facilitate the home training process, they will not urinate or defecate where they sleep. In addition, cage training will make the cage a safe haven when it comes to feeling scared or needing rest.
   • Husky's cage Not is the place to be punished. Putting a puppy in a cage when disobedient can cause him to develop in a negative direction with the cage.

4. 

   
   
   Leash training. If you let go of the chain, husky will run away or chase something in the distance. They love their owners but if given the chance they still prefer to run and chase (hunting instinct). Therefore, leash training your Husky is important.
   • Leash training will prevent your Husky from pulling on the leash. If they start to pull the chain, you can either stand still or call them back, or quickly go in the opposite direction.
   • Do not tug or pull back on the leash, as this will cause your Husky to pull harder.
   • Do not use an elastic leash, this may cause your husky to pull harder, as tugging will help him go further.
   • If you have a puppy, let him sniff it and "explore" the leash and collar in the house before you take him outside.
   • An obedience training class can help you teach your Husky to use leashes.

   Establish that you are the commander of your Husky. A Husky is a sled dog and always has a leader to guide the way. You need to show it to your Husky friend be the guide. The best way to establish a commanding relationship is to keep your dog waiting for a meal.
   • When controlling the meal, your husky will treat you as its sole source of food and resources, just like the commander.
   • Another way to form a commanding relationship with your husky is to walk the dog at your disposal. As you go ahead, you show confidence that your husky is following you, instead of letting it pull you around.
   • Don't be too surprised if your Husky tries to be the leader. If your dog has such a tendency, you need to be determined and consistent with your commanding relationship.
   • Can not establish a commanding relationship by bullying or beating dogs. Your husky will not trust you and respect you as a leader if you try to establish the relationship through physical threats.

   • To prevent the dog "digging" from escaping, you should put the fence a few 10cm deep into the ground. You can place concrete or net underneath the fence to prevent the dog from burrowing.
