You have to remember wh...We had a husky growing up. You have to remember what they're bred for...they're running dogs. So when they're in a fully domestic setting, they require A LOT of exercise, preferably a big yard. Also, huskies are extremely pack oriented, so they're very protective.<br /><br />Training: best thing we did with our little girl was go to a free training class at petsmart. If she will be kenneled, don't put a potty pad in the kennel. Dogs have to learn the difference in where they sleep and do business. Use hand commands. For us, a fist is sit. A hand open palm down is lay. Pointer finger up is stay. High five, roll over, etc. The first few times she may need you to show her by moving her body and saying what you want. Or an easy way to teach lay is to put your hand on the floor so she chases it. Verbalize the command. Also, there are small training treats. You need to reward the dog when it does a good job via praise and a treat.<br /><br />Also, it'll become apparent who she considers to be the pack leader. It is whoever she gravitates to, may listen to slightly more. Who ever that is, your husband or you, will have to bring the baby into the house and introduce the new member. This is because it is easier for dogs to accept a new pack member if the leader presents them. Essentially, they associate the leader bringing it in as oh, OK. Well obviously this is supposed to be here.<br /><br />Hope it helps!Eiren Childresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167138106054367609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284945476938872351.post-46212345657174950672012-06-20T00:28:45.109-04:002012-06-20T00:28:45.109-04:00Oh my gosh.
