The only thing different between a White Husky and a regular Husky is the color. Both have all the same traits and they are affectionate loving companions. It will just be your preference in color that will make the difference. As with any Husky dog you should never let them off a leash. Their instinct to run is very strong and they really don't care in which direction they go as long as they can run. This is a high energy dog breed and will be able to run for hours once off a leash.
If you find that your White Husky is pulling on his leash every time you take him for a walk, there are a few things you can do to curb this habit. Just remember they were born to pull sleds and they don't know the difference if they are not taught properly. One thing you can try is before you start out on your walk is to take time to stand there for a few minutes and let the excitement of your dog settle down. After this, you can continue with your walk. This can be a big help if your dog is excited about the upcoming walk. An obedience school can also be a tremendous help controlling your dog.
Respect is very important to your dog relationship. If the dog doesn't have respect for you as a leader, then you are in big trouble. This does not mean you have to be mean to your dog or treat him harshly. You can gain respect in many ways. It does mean, however, that you have to let your dog know that you are the boss. A White Husky needs structure in his life and you are the one that can provide it. It will not resent you being the alpha of the pack, although it may challenge it from time to time. Your dog will come to love you all the more for doing this. It gives him his place in the pack and it is usually well understood by him.
Training your Husky with positive reinforcement has become very popular and some people say it is the best way to get the best out of your White Husky. This method is just as rewarding for the owner as it is for the dog. Dogs respond quite well to this method of training. Positive reinforcement is when you use rewards to show a dog what is expected of him, and have you ever known food not to be a motivator, especially in the dog world. Of course there is also another side to positive reinforcement and that is most dogs love to please and by adding lots of praise and love combined with the treats when your dog does something that is pleasing, is one sure way of having your dog come out the winner that you know he is. A White Husky is no different and this should work very well.
