Siberian Huskies training can be a puzzling experience. They’re a very intelligent breed of dog and have a mind of their own. Most will not obey what they think are pointless commands. Training a Siberian Husky is going to take consistency, patience, caring, and an understanding of the breed.
With repetitive tasks Siberian Huskies will often become bored. They will obey you but only if there is not something more interesting going on that draws away their attention. They will bond to their master easily and will be very loyal to their owner but will do it in their own way.
Siberian Huskies love to run. Mix the love of running with a love of digging and without a good fence that is buried quite far into the ground you’re going to spend a lot of time running and chasing your Husky. It is important to always keep a Siberian Husky on a leash or they will run possibly far enough to become lost.
To train a Siberian Husky you will often to have to resort to manipulation instead of just the normal praise and punishment. One method of training Siberian Huskies is to constantly show them that you are more important that they are. You can do this with little things like walking through doorways before they do. Do not walk around them but instead make them move out of the way. When playing with a dog toy never let the playing end with your Husky in control of the toy.
To gain the trust of your Siberian Husky a good tip is to start off while he or she is eating to add treats to the food dish. The goal is to eventually get to a point where you can remove the bowl white the animal is eating to add the treats. You can also put the dog on its back and rub its ears, paws, and belly. Make the gaining trust experience enjoyable for the both of you.
Whatever method you use to train your Siberian Husky keep in mind that the two more important elements to any dog training are trust and security.
