Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| He is kind of dark so you can't really see on the pictures.. I do have a picture of them playing though. But i cannot post it while I'm on my phone, and yes I believe they are because Rambo will just ag it on. And when someone whines like they are hurt, they stop for a couple of minutes. And when they are calm, they are very good together. |

| No I have not, there aren't really any huskies in this little town. I saw some YouTube videos but they were all cute videos with babies or talking or training videos. Rambo is a mutt. 65 pounds and 2 and a half years old. My boyfriend got him for free outside of walmart so no one really knows. Have had guesses of a kerr mix, a pit mix, but he has the greyhound chest stomach and back legs. I have a picture of him on here I believe, on one of my posts. |

| When 2 Huskies play together in a dog park everyone else in the dog park leaves. It looks like war and sounds like 2 aliens killing each other.
They are very rough and very physical, not to mention confident, assertive dogs. Generally they do not have a mean bone in their body or any aggression what so ever, but they look and sound like monsters when they play.
It's very normal.
If you do a clever search on here you can find some videos and lots of discussion about it. Search for Play, Biting, Rough, Wrestling, Teeth, etc.
You'll find stuff.
My suspicion is that your puppy is just being a puppy.
If you notice Rambo continuing to engage and go for more, then it is fine.
You don't hear of scabs and cuts really, that sounds a bit unusual. But it is very difficult to get to a Huskies skin with the fur.......part of why they play so rough is they can stand to take it.......so if Rambo is a short hair dog like say a Pit Bull then the razor teeth are catching the unprotected skin.
Time outs and waiting for the puppy to calm may be a good idea. |

| Thank you for the advice! Every time we put him in the kennel, he whines and whines, could for hours. I'll keep trying |

| Time outs are for discipline.
Typically it isn't recommended that kennels be used for time outs. Some very advanced trainers in certain situations have successfully done so, but usually it isn't a good idea because of the resulting associations with the kennel.
For time outs try isolation in a smaller room, like a bathroom ( watch the trash and TP hanging down). Once he is quiet and settled, then release him. |

| I was always told to use a cage/kennel. But I'll try that. When I would take a shower and have the door shut and have him in there as well, he would chew on the toilet! Even though I keep it fairly clean. |
