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.

Hi. Does anyone use weight vests for their huskies or any other methods to exercise them and increase their muscle mass?

I don't use a weight vest, but we do have a dog-pack that he carries water bottles in for added weight. We love it Smile

The brand we use is called "Wolf Pack"

I wouldn't have thought that a weight vest will exercise the right muscle groups for a Siberian Husky. The best exercise for a husky will be something involving both running and pulling. Using a weight vest would be like a marathon runner doing bench presses and squats. You might end up with a dog looking like a Pitbull on steroids, but it wouldn't be right for a sibe.
