Exercise the bee-jeepers out of them. Really, a tired husky is a good husky. Enjoy the ride:)

I was thinking of asking the same question about my pet Keeper and while I was in Alaska, thinking I would find my answer there, found it difficult to identify what Pure Husky was. I found what I think were twins of my Husky mix that had the same floppy ears and talked with the same sound but I will never know for sure. I registered here the day after I had to put my my Keeper to sleep. I am not sure how much Husky was in my Keeper but I am convinced he was pure Husky in his hart and he is flying through the snow with all his brothers and sisters. I do think that any Husky or Husky mix makes a perfect, unique personality and I look forward to finding another perfect Husky/Husky Mix for my next pet. I definitely don't know if your dog is pure but I am sure the Husky in him will always be true to you, he is beautiful.

Oh Koa is a red or liver, just super light, we have many reds in the group and many are as light as Koa, it is a common and accepted coat color for huskies.

Hi my name is Saraina, I’m a brand new husky owner. I have a 8 week old pup named Indica. She’s definitely a handful and any advice anyone has to offer would be helpful. I know she is young and has a lot of training and learning to do but I’d like advice on where to start.
She bites the hell out of me, chews on everything and does not listen to anything I tell her especially the word “No” when she’s in a playful mood...

Hi,

I have recently started training a husky mix to be my next service dog. I have had two labs in the past. I wanted to try a different breed of dog this time, but find that it is more difficult to train him. Not because he is unwilling; I just know less about huskies. I am glad to be here and would post a picture but I am not really sure how to resize it.

Depending on where it is hosted it should resize itself when you post. There is a sticky on how to post pictures. When you are on the main page believe it shows up at the top right of the page.

Huskies tend to be notoriously bad service dogs and often can't pass the test. They are very smart, too smart. But they are also very independent and can be exceptionally difficult to really solidify in some tasks depending on the type of support you are trying to train them for. People using them for emotional support can often find themselves facing far more anxiety since they have such a demanding exercise need, can't be trusted real well off leash so may run away if in public and leash is dropped. They also have a super high prey drive that may cause them to act out around small critters. You've definitely got a task ahead of you. We have a lot of training tips though if you do a search. You are definitely not the first to try to make a husky a service dog. A few have done alright. Many gave up and got a second dog to be their service dog though and just kept the husky as a companion and playmate for that dog.

Thank you Twisterll,

I know that Sly will be harder to train, but after trying a GSD and failing. I am willing to give this baby a shot at it.  I know that if he doesn't make that cut that my step-dad is willing to keep him as a pet.  But so far so good.

He's definitely got something mixed in him like bull terrier which may actually help to even his energy and trainability out. Good luck and keep us posted. It's always nice to hear how things go. Service dog training is a great dedication and there are a lot of techniques that can be useful to those who aren't training theirs to be service dogs that could benefit us all I think.

Hiya. Thanks so much for the welcome! To be honest, I can't figure anything out. I can't figure out how to bring pix in to my profile or even this post. Where is this an option? Sorry if I'm slow!

In the top right hand corner of the site (if you are on a laptop or desktop computer) there is a post labeled "How to Upload Pictures" that goes over how to add pictures to threads.

To create new posts you just go to the subforum that matches you topic question (ie. Medical Issues, Training, etc.) and look at the top of the page for the "New Topic" button.

To create an Avatar that people will see next to your username you must go to your profile and click on the word "avatar" that will be across the top of the control panel and either upload a picture from computer or use a picture's url from a hosting site like onedrive or photobucket.

The normal order of things recommended in this type of situation is:

  1. Have a vet checkup to make sure there isn't anything wrong with her that's making her not want to eat.
  2. If she's healthy pick one good quality food
  3. Put it down for about 10 minutes, if she doesn't eat it, pick the bowl up and offer it again at her next normal feeding time.

An expression you'll see in various forms is "A healthy dog won't starve itself to death laying beside a bowl of good food."
This is the doggy version of "tough love" ... Huskies are smart and given the opportunity will eventually choose a good filet mignon ... don't let it get that far.
