Okay this isn't about GSD's but there isn't a place for Siberian huskies. My boyfriend recently got one from a good friend of ours and she is a little over 3 months. I was wondering if someone knows the breed and can help me. She's not potty trained yet but we've been working with her and she's doing better but not quite there yet. She's not really interested in coming to us when we call her. The only time she will listen is when we have a treat in our hands. She's more interested in going outside and playing with our other dogs. She's even more interested in our neighbors dog and getting out of our fence to go play with her. Can anybody help me
Well then with the small animals that might be a problem. Not with me but with someone that lives two houses down from me. She has chickens and we've had issues before with a dog i was holding at the time and also my friends dog. My friends dog is a lab and he can jump like no other. He recently started jumping out my kitchen window when they bring him over. He can also jump the fence. Well he decided to go check out her chickens. And she got really mad. From what another friend told me if chicken lady hadn't thought it was my other friends lab then she would have shot him. All he was doing was checking everything out, wanting to see what that noise and small were. He's a sweetheart to other animals. I've seen it. It just makes me worry that my husky will get shot and chicken lady will deal with the consequences from the PD.
Well def don't let the husky and lab get into cahoots together! lol
I'd prolly just make sure you have the husky contained at all times. We clip on a lead before we get near a door. I double check my grip on the leash before opening the door. I load my other dog into the car first so there's no chance of the husky escaping while my GSD is climbing in. I tie the husky leash to a seatback post. Opening the car door I body block the opening and untie the leash while holding Finder's collar in the other. He is never offleash in an area with less than an 8 foot fence. When he is offleash I follow him around to make sure he doesn't dig or climb. It sounds like a lot of work, but once you get into a groove it all comes naturally.
Just make sure that the kitchen window is closed! My husky can jump and get all four feet on my kitchen counters so yours may be able to just walk out that kitchen window when he grows.
I do plan on taking her for runs with me once we get her a collar and a leash. I need to start running to lose my baby weight. I got huge with my 2nd baby lol. And I'll be starting out where she will be starting out tho she'll probably be able to run father than i will be able to. but it will be good for both of us i think
