Read About Siberian Husky Puppies

When you decide upon a Siberian Husky puppy as a family pet, you need to be diligent and very patient because these dogs have minds of their own. ImageYou have to gently, yet firmly, show them who is boss. If they don't want to do something, they will howl as if they are really hurt. This is true even in obedience training courses. Having a Siberian Husky as part of the group can be very entertaining for those watching, but frustrating for the trainer.

These puppies are very playful and if you leave them unsupervised, they can be very destructive. They have been known to chew up sofas, the legs of tables, and even holes in doors. They get bored very easily with repetition, which is why you should never spend too much time in training periods. Although they want to obey your wishes, they are also very independent and will do things on their own time and in their own way. You need to use a lot of positive reinforcement to give Siberian Husky puppies the feeling that they are part of a pack with you as the leader.

Digging is a natural instinct for Siberian Husky puppies. If you have a backyard area for the puppy, you need to make sure it cannot dig under the fence and get away. ImageMake sure that it is as far away as possible from flower beds. You don't want it digging up your flowers. You do need to give these dogs plenty of exercise and make sure the fence around the yard is quite strong. Owners experienced with Siberian Husky dogs will tell you that an electronic fence will not work for this dog breed since it can dig under it.

Siberian Husky puppies love to eat and will eat any food that they come across. This is especially true in the winter when the instinct to fill up on food comes through. Therefore, you should neither give these puppies a free run through the kitchen, nor feed them from the table. Along with potty training, you do have to train them to eat and drink from their own dishes. While you can feed these dogs scraps of regular food, you should only feed them once or twice a day.

It is easy to care for Siberian Huskies. They shed only once a year and if you brush the dog every day, this will cut down on dog hair all over the place. It takes about two weeks for the puppies to shed all the hair, which comes off in clumps. Giving them a warm bath makes combing much easier as it softens up the hair. These dogs are well suited to staying outdoors in a doghouse, but you can bring them inside during cold weather. However, if you keep Siberian Husky puppies indoors year round, shedding occurs more often and this creates more work for you.
