Getting started raising and training a husky, do not forget that this is a working dog, but not a service one. There is a myth that huskies are difficult to train. This is not entirely true. Husky training is simple: they are very smart and can grasp commands on the fly. Huskies learn greatly from the game and love to be praised. But at the same time, these dogs are independent and self-sufficient, and often – and dominant. Therefore, sometimes they refuse to execute the command. Husky intelligence and health allow the representatives of this breed to learn even complex tricks.
How to Train a Husky Puppy?
To be successful with this breed of dog, he must respect you. To do this, it is necessary to gain authority – with reasonable rigor. Not to be confused with cruelty. Yes, whispering is unacceptable, but if you beat the dog, it will only get embittered and will certainly take revenge at the first opportunity.
Husky training at home begins from the moment the puppy appears in the house. Play, play, and play again – then the process will go smoothly. Intonation is of great importance: commands are given in a calm voice, clearly.
Do not follow the guidelines for training service dogs – in the case of the husky, they are useless. This breed requires a different approach.
After completing the command correctly, do not forget to reward the husky. The reward can be a treat (you also need to approach the choice of a treat responsibly, find out the details of proper nutrition for a husky), and later – oral praise. The voice should be kind and soft.
In any case, shrill intonations should be avoided: Huskies cannot stand them.
Basic lessons to ensure the safety of the husky and the calmness of others: “To me”, “Nearby”, “You cannot”, “Place”, “Sit”, “Lie down”, “Give”. Further wisdom – at your discretion, Husky’s intelligence allows you to master many things. But the basic commands must be carried out unquestioningly and in any situation.
