It Won't Stop!

As I mentioned in the previous post, taking care of the moulting situation of a Siberian Husky can get a little hectic.

Watch above to see how bad it can get

Did You Know?

• It is a common belief that Huskies are not smart animals. In fact, they are an extremely intelligent breed and can also be incredibly stubborn. Training requires a lot of time and patience, and should be started at an early age.
• The Husky may be a wonderful companion, but don't let the appearance fool you, the breed does not make a good watchdog or guard dog! They are way too friendly for that type of job.
• The average lifespan of a Siberian Husky is 12-14 years.
• As an owner of the breed, this next fact is the one I am most familiar with - With most dogs comes the season for moulting; in the case of the Siberian Husky, it is not simple. The entire undercoat of the dog comes out in clumps (similar to sheep's wool).  This generally occurs twice a year. Indication of this process is seen by small clumps falling out. When this happens, it is time to start combing!                  
• Huskies are very loving and kind with children, they exhibit nothing but the purest love and energy.

How to Train Your Siberian Husky

Siberian Huskies are notorious for having a mind of their own. If they feel like they're being forced to do something they don't want to do, they will howl and scream just like a little kid. Even gentle commands can evoke howling and stern commands may send them shrieking as if being tortured. 
It is not easy to master the skill of training this breed. It can be quite a challenge due to their independent thinking. Patience and persistence is required in order to train them properly. 
You cannot force them. Training the breed can be considered to some people an "art". It is essential to manipulate them and make them see you as their leader.
There are simple ways to create this impression with your dog.  The best way to start is teaching the puppy his name. All instructions should begin with your dog’s name, followed by the command. We all pay attention and perk up when we hear our name called first, right?
Having your dog see you as dominant is extremely important. Gently get your dog on his or her side and touch the ears, paws, etc. Give a massage, make it enjoyable. This will develop not only the dominant impression you are aiming for, but security and trust as well. 
One easy way to carry out your training is to eat first, then feed your dog. Do not let him perceive you as an equal!


These are just a few quick tips in order to have your Husky obey you. For a complete guide, check out    siberianhusky.trainpetdog.com

In the comedy movie Snow Dogs, Siberian Huskies had their most famous appearance. The story begins when Miami dentist Ted Brooks learns that his mother has passed away and that he was named in her will. He travels to Alaska to claim his inheritance, but instead of receiving the large chunk of change that many people would expect to inherit, Ted instead receives his mother's pack of rowdy sled dogs and her property. At first he is quite awkward towards the dogs as he hates dogs, but as time goes on he becomes comfortable with the new situation, and even learns how to mush. 

I remember watching this movie with my family a few years ago, and we all loved it. From the film, we can easily see that the breed are truly wondrous companions. They are without a doubt affectionate, friendly, determined and strong. The actions of the breed make it apparent that they are alert, and eager to please their owner.
