Siberian Husky

Siberian Husky is a beautiful dog breed with a thick coat that comes in a multitude of colors and markings. Their blue or multi-colored eyes and striking facial masks only add to the appeal of this breed, which originated in Siberia. It is easy to see why many are drawn to the Siberian’s wolf-like looks, but be aware that this athletic, intelligent dog can be independent and challenging for first-time dog owners. Huskies also put the “H” in Houdini and need a fenced yard that is sunk in the ground to prevent escapes.

Historical


Everyone knows that Siberian Huskies come from Siberia, however they weren’t found just running around in the wild. The Siberian is of a pure and very ancient lineage, dating back 4,000 years or more. The Siberian breed was developed by the Chukchi people of North Eastern Asia, an ancient Siberian hunting people, who used the dogs to assist them hunting and to pull loads long distances through the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic.

The word Siberia is commonly associated with a very cold environment however the earliest Chukchi’s probably enjoyed a much milder climate than they do today. In those warmer times they may have relied on dogs to assist them hunting the plentiful reindeer. About 3,000 years ago the climate changed for the worse and the reindeer had to travel farther and farther to find food, the reindeer dependent Chukchis had to travel with them taking their entire households along. This added sled hauling to the list of the Siberian Huskies accomplishments.


Overall Siberian Husky


It is in a structure that trusts itself with a form of
smiley smile. This position can be frightening for some people. No training on
aggression. Because these dogs are particularly aggressive towards other dogs
and animals. It is often funny and unlike other dogs, there is an extreme
loyalty. The feeling of protecting his owner and everything belonging to him is
growing too much. Courage is a very durable dog at the same time. That is why
they can even tear up their enemies. The stalemate sometimes has a structure
that goes upright. It needs to be well trained and highly experienced owners
are required because it is a dominant race. There is no tolerance to other dogs
and cats. Good agreement can be very rare, and it is suggested that they not be
left together. Playing games with them is an invaluable form of happiness for
them. A child outside the family should not be left alone with other animals.

How toFeed Siberian Husky?


Siberian Husky Care and feeding should be regimented. Your breeder is the best source of information for your particular puppy. They should provide you with a detailed history of your puppies diet and eating regimen up until that point. It's important to maintain a strict diet with Siberians.


Huskies are very unlike other dog breeds when it comes to feeding. Breeds like Labradors and Beagles will eat as much as you put in front of them, often to the point of becoming sick. Huskies watch their intake much more carefully:

If a Husky is full, they will not eat.
If a Husky has had a lot of exercise, they will eat more.
If a Husky has been rather inactive, they will eat much less.
That being said, if a Husky does overeat and start to gain too much weight it is often very difficult for them to lose it again. And an overweight Husky will have a shorter life expectancy than a healthy one.

Huskies have very individual personalities, and are notoriously stubborn. If something puts a Husky off of a certain food, then they may not go back to it for quite some time, if ever. Many things could put a Husky off their food:

This is an important step to remember when you first get a Husky. It is good to find out what the dog ate before coming to you, that way you can make a gradual change from what he use to eat to the food your planning on feeding him. This goes for puppies and older dogs.

There is a lot of discussion on what food is best for huskies; commercial vs homemade, raw vs cooked, bones vs no bones, etc.

Some things are definitely not suitable for Huskies of any age:

.Large amounts of dairy
.Cooked bones
.Onion
.Raisins, grapes, prunes, etc

Training


You are about to begin Puppy Class 101. Rule No. 1: The puppy must learn that you are now the alpha dog and his new pack leader. Rule No. 2: You have to teach him in a manner he will understand (sorry, barking just won’t do it.). Remember always that he knows nothing about human standards of behavior.

Word Association
Use the same word (command) for each behavior every time you teach it, adding food rewards and verbal praise to reinforce the positive. The puppy will make the connection and will be motivated to repeat the behavior when he hears those key words. For example, when teaching the pup to potty outside, use the same potty term (“Go potty,” “Get busy” or “Hurry up” are commonly used) each time he eliminates, adding a “Good boy!” while he’s urinating. The pup will soon learn what those trips outside are for.

Timing
All dogs learn their lessons in the present tense. You have to catch them in the act (good or bad) in order to dispense rewards or discipline. You have three to five seconds to connect with your puppy or he will not understand what he did wrong. Thus, timing and consistency are your keys to success in teaching any new behavior or correcting bad behaviors.

1.Establish yourself as the strong leader
2.Reward good behavior
3.Discipline your husky without using violence.
4.Build a useful vocabulary with your husky
5.Be consistent and balanced in your training
