How you raise and raise your puppy depends on him and your future. Or you will have an uncontrollable dog that will bring you a lot of trouble. Or your pupil will become a true friend to you, will delight you every day with his peculiar character. You can’t train Huskies.
Huskies can be raised.
Foundation
The basis of puppy education is active educational games, with the help of which you and your baby will have excellent communication and you will become a leader for them. Dogs of this breed have high intelligence, self-will and stubbornness.
To force something to do is stupid. Since it will cause a puppy scare and rejection. A husky puppy can and will express its disagreement with the owner's opinion. This fact must be taken into account. To begin with, you should gain authority in the eyes of the Huskies, become a leader for her. And this happens in the process of living together, this is a daily work.
Husky is a street dog. She can not live in the apartment. Husky upbringing begins almost from his birth. Therefore, the first tutor of the puppy will be its breeder, in addition to mom and dad husky. A husky puppy enters a new home in two to three months from birth. The new owner must take an interest in and take into account the conditions in which the puppy grew up in a nursery.
Husky is a social dog. She needs to communicate. Therefore, to engage and communicate with a small Husky is necessary for the whole family. Give a lot of time and attention to the baby. If the puppy is in the house all day alone - he will not be healthy either physically or mentally. Therefore, before taking the Huskies, you need to think carefully about whether you and your family are ready to change your usual way of life, whether you are ready to sacrifice your time, whether you are ready to go on to an active lifestyle, whether you have enough patience to educate your child and finances meet the needs of the husky. The efforts that you put into the baby will provide you with a good, strong friendship with the dog, and complete mutual understanding.
Physical exercise
Huskies are very hardy, strong breed. She needs physical exertion from a young age. This longevity, as close as possible to the wild. We call the husky "city wolf." In order for a puppy to grow up healthy and strong, he must receive daily exercise. While the puppy is small, you can "walk" on its territory, playing educational games. This is running, digging holes, swimming in containers (install a plastic swimming pool on the territory - and the baby’s happiness will be limitless). In summer, at elevated temperatures, you need to ensure that your baby does not have overheating. Active games are recommended in the morning and in the evening. And do not forget about the pool.
In winter, a small husky needs to be kept in the house, taken out for jogging and games. Carefully follow that there is no hypothermia. In babies, body thermoregulation stabilizes at three months from birth. And the baby has not yet acquired a warm undercoat.
For husky, there is never a lot of activity. She is always ready for action, games, running.
Run, bathe, dig, roll in the grass or in the snow, play, laugh, with your family, or take turns - and you and your baby husky will be happy and healthy.
Psychological education
I repeat once again - Husky can not be trained. Huskies need to be raised (as a human child). Your whole family, including cats, dogs, hamsters and fish, will be for the baby Husky his pack. And for each he will have a special, individual attitude. For a start, he will feel his place in the new hierarchy. And try to take a step higher. He will love everyone, but only one in your family will be his pack leader. Huskies need to talk. Is always. At any opportunity. If the baby is sick, you need to show your child your dissatisfaction with his behavior, show offense, turn away, do not talk. For a baby, this is a very serious punishment. First, he will try to appease you, bribe his eyes, caress. There is a second stage - a manifestation of perseverance, twitching at the sleeve, an attempt to poke a nose. The next stage is grief and resentment in response. Baby leaves you, or lies some distance. That's when you can forgive him. Pat, caress, talk.
Huskies cannot be shouted at the baby, you cannot achieve anything by violence from him. Its negative effect needs to be translated into a positive effect. For example, if he nibbles something, you need to offer him what he can nibble, and take away what you cannot nibble. That is, to offer an alternative, without focusing on the bad deed. Moreover, in his opinion, chewing on your favorite, expensive phone, or fur coat is fun. Instead of a fur coat, offer the kid a toy, old slippers, or any other toy of his. The same principle applies throughout your communication. If the kid has played, and pee on the carpet, it should not be punished. It is necessary to take him in your arms, carry him to the toilet, and say that "one must write here." I assure you that baby Husky, without extreme measures on your part, without screams and frowning eyebrows, understands everything.
An adult dog of this breed has the intelligence of a 3–5 year old child. Therefore, she understands not only the intonation, but also the meaning of the words spoken by you, and you need to talk and negotiate with the Huskies. As with a man.
In total, you shouldn’t shout at the baby Husky, trying to get his way, especially to beat - you can’t, you can’t allow everything, you cann’t ignore or encourage puppy manipulation.
Walking
Walking with a dog should be at least twice a day. Each for two hours in time. This is exactly the period for which the Husky is full of hearts, plays games, has time to get tired, and is ready to learn. Walking twice a day is not a required criterion. The more often you take the baby for a walk - the better, especially since it additionally forms the skill of asking to go outside. In places where people gather, husky must be kept on a leash. It is better to walk in places far from the city - a field, a forest, a shore of a lake or the sea. Then you can let the dog off the leash. In this way, you show the dog that you trust her and expect understanding and obedience from her. She should not run away from you, call the baby to her, and when he returned to you, encourage him with a delicacy. How to achieve this and train the dog to the appropriate team - see the "Training" section.
House behavior
Huskies do not tolerate loneliness. From grief, the baby can nibble your things, howl, write on the carpet, try to find a way out of the room. In order to avoid trouble, you need to remove all valuable things higher (I emphasize HIGHER). The kid will very quickly learn to open sliding and swing doors.
Be sure to hide all the wires. So that the baby does not howl in your absence, you need to walk it for about two hours before leaving. At home, leave the toys (which - see in the next section). Ideally, and even necessary, in the first month of the baby’s arrival, not to leave him alone, take a vacation, or arrange a duty schedule with his household. In addition, Huskies get along well with other pets in the house, placing them in their hierarchical ladder.
Important ! not to encourage the kid to beg near the table, not to allow a garbage bin in the house, to be disorderly and to dominate all members of the family. Only by building a relationship with the baby, you can raise a good friend and an excellent companion.
Care
Huskies can not be kept in the booth, in the aviary, or on the chain. Huskies should have free access throughout, and confidence in a high level of trust on the part of the owner. Huskies will not protect your home and garden. Will not bark at passers-by and passing cars. For a husky his house is where his pack is. That is, there is no territorial binding for the husky. Husky is a wonderful companion, friend, playmate, companion, defender.
On the territory of your dog need to equip his place. It can be a canopy, or a booth (without a leash). Or the Huskies themselves make their own lair, dig a hole in which they will hide from the sun or snow.
Shedding in an adult husky happens twice a year. On average, lasts 20 days. During this period, you must regularly comb the dog to get rid of itching and the formation of tangles. Bathing huskies is often undesirable, and even contraindicated. So how can you disturb the fat balance of the skin. Twice a year - in spring and autumn - to bathe. Husky wool self-cleaning, has no specific smell.
To cut the hair and claws of the dog is impossible. Claws are grinded naturally on hard pavement (asphalt, paving stones, stone paths, hard ground). In winter, you can additionally lubricate the pads of the husky to keep it from cracking. In addition, it is necessary to periodically check the dog's ears for ear mites, to care for your teeth.
If a dog has plaque or tartar on its teeth, it is necessary to clean it. This is done with the help of a veterinarian, or by special means independently. Treats with a cleaning effect are sold at any pet store.
The health of the dog must be carefully monitored. Periodically take a urine test to understand the state of health of the dog, to eliminate infectious diseases and so on. More on this in the section "Veterinary".
Dog sleeper should always be clean. Bowls should be kept clean, water should always be fresh.
Huskies are very clean dogs. They do not eat where they sleep. And do not arrange a toilet where they eat or sleep. To support this trend, a person must take care that the places for sleeping, food and toilet are in different places of the room. That is, the dog should eat in the kitchen, sleep in the room, go to the toilet in a specially equipped place in a separate room (bath, hallway, or veranda). In the future, respectively, the dog will toilet to celebrate on the street.
Love
The main thing, the main condition for the content, education, training Huskies - to love the baby. Everything is very simple. You will love - you will find time, strength, patience to grow it.
