Predators by Nature
It is important to take into account that having a direct offspring with the wolf, the hunter instinct of the Siberian Husky leads them to have problems with small animals of other species that you have at home. For example, cats or rabbits that you have as pets. Be careful when being with cats or rabbits. Your Husky will feel an impulse to hunt it, even if it is a noble and good dog. However, nature is nature.
Exercising with your Siberian Husky
It is necessary that you keep in mind the need to exercise daily with them three or more times a day. This is to calm their anxious spirit that always comes out, since they need to eliminate the anxiety of their body translated into a lot of energy. You have to do many physical movements such as jumping, running, mental games, among others so that the dog can feel good and calm their quite agitated temperament. This way you will be calmer; so you should do extreme sports with your dog.
Stubbornness is a double-edged sword
When we say that the person who decides to have a Siberian Husky must take into account knowing how to master this dog, it is because they need a strong hand when training them and leading them to do what is dictated to them. Therefore, you need to be firm in ordering them. That is, you have to be the leader of their pack, or else they will dominate you.
Take into account that you have to train them so they’d obey you from the beginning. Ask an expert on how to make them see you as the alpha to be obeyed. Otherwise, if they feel that you are doubting, they will never listen to you and disobey direct orders.
Siberian Huskies can’t be left alone
By Wasitt
The Siberian Husky can not stay home alone, because they are also destructive to the feeling of being anxious or nervous. Therefore, you should not leave them alone during the time you go to work, take this into account if you want a dog of this breed. Of course, if your dog has received good training, and is emotionally well, you can fix this with a good environmental enrichment that keeps the dog entertained and at ease. Like wolves, the Husky wants to belong to a family where there are many people. So, if you don’t have a family yet, maybe your dog will encourage you to do so since these dogs love to have a large pack.
The fur of Siberian Huskies
The dog breed Siberian Husky usually has thick and abundant hair. You’ll always have your house full of them. This means several things. On one hand, your dog needs you to brush it frequently to remove dead skin and hair. Also, with this, it eliminates itching. And, it also means that you will have to vacuum regularly. It won’t hurt to have special brushes at your disposal which will have to take an hour of your time daily and brush its mane as if you were caressing it, while you pamper it and remove dead hair.
They tend to get lost
As they also have the mania of wanting to browse and sniff everything because of their hunting instinct, sometimes they leave the house without permission and it can give you a scare. You need to have a safe house where your huskies will not dig, jump, or take advantage of a crack in an open door to get out. They will do this because they feel safe to do so, and they are experts at escaping. Take extreme security in your home to avoid this.
They make a lot of noise
A characteristic of these dogs is howling when they feel lonely for too long, which they will do if you go to work. Do not leave them with a companion, since they need to always be accompanied to avoid stress; this is important. You should not worry about barking, because they do not usually bark much or as often. However they will warn you of something that they feel threatening with the bark, so keep this in mind when you want a dog of this breed.
They are not good guardians
Although Siberian Huskies bark and are imposing, these dogs are not good for housekeeping, since their calm temperament gives them a very different attitude from that of guard dogs. And it is that the Husky is friendly even with strangers. So try to find another breed that takes care of your assets, because the Siberian Husky is a luxury dog. However it is calmer than a cute kitten or a simple bunny, so don’t assign them as a guard dog. Take this into account when there’s the time to purchase one.
