Siberian Huskies: Not for the faint hearted

(0 votes)

Written by Andrew Preston

Siberian Huskies are incredibly handsome dogs. They look like tame wolves, often with ice blue eyes or even odd-colored eyes. They are unmistakable and attention-getting. No wonder they have been one of the most popular breeds of dogs ever in the Western world. However, they are also abandoned in the thousands every year. To keep yourself from abandoning a Siberian Husky, please read as much Siberian Husky information as you can, especially about their personalities. Siberian Huskies are not like most other dogs. They do not do anything and everything to please their owners. They are the lawyers of the dog world - they won't do a thing until they see how it benefits them. However, they love company, especially among other dogs, but also have been known to get along well with children and other animals. They are usually wary with strangers and even tend to shy away from strange dogs. They are more serious in nature and not very silly.

You need to be aware of some Siberian Husky information before you bring one of these magnificent dogs home. They shed. They do very badly in hot, humid climates. They do very badly with the first time dog owner. They do very badly with timid people or the physically impaired. These dogs do not make good watchdogs, although they do bark on occasion. These dogs like to dig in your yard, so get used to it.

These dogs not only need at least a half hour walk every day, but they need time to run and play, whether in a fenced yard or in some sort of closely supervised situation. It is not a good idea to let a Siberian Husky off lead in a park or a wooded trail.

Siberian Huskies are wary of strangers and tend to avoid them. They will often seem like they are either ignoring you or are staring at you as if to say, "You're a complete idiot and I know it". Huskies and Husky-types are considered hard to train, so you must be patient and persistent. Huskies are big, strong dogs that can quickly figure out how to be the boss if you don't act like the boss.

Even though all dogs take their own time in learning anything, it generally is agreed in reliable breed information sources that Siberian Huskies take longer to train than most dogs. You must act confidently and speak firmly when giving commands in order to get their attention. Siberian Huskies will quickly bully a timid person, because they can see that a timid person does not deserve to lead a dog pack.

Siberian Huskies do not suffer fools gladly, but they will be loyal to the death for those they decide to follow. Siberian Huskies are not comfortable being leaders, despite their bossine

You must earn their loyalty through body language, persistence and positive reinforcement. This dog does not respect force or abuse of any kind. They either will defend themselves or (most likely) will become permanently frightened.
