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.

We recently rescued two huskies from a local vet clinic that has an attached orphanage. One of the two dogs (Tango) who is a 16month old male has just developed a disturbing new behavior. When my mom is fixing dinner in the kitchen Tango likes to lay by her feet and keep her company, no harm there, however, when my father or I walk through the kitchen Tango will snarl and bare his teeth at us. If we reach just to give him a pat on the head or something, he will growl louder and he has even snapped at my dad. When we back off he will jump up and wag his tail immediately whimpering and runs to the closest person licking their hand and looking for attention. This incident has only happened in the kitchen, and only when dinner is being prepared and when meat is involved. This is not necessarily a protection instinct of my mother since the same has happened when others of us have been making sandwiches and such at the counter. Tango never tries to beg or eat our food off the table or counter, his own food is always eaten, but it seems we can't find a reason or solution for this behavior.

We have had the dogs for about three weeks, the other dog (Kaleb) is a 9 month old male, if that is of any use.

The black and white is Tango, the one with some brown in his coat is Kaleb.
(Harnesses don't normally stay on them, they had just gotten back from a run.)

I wouldn't allow them in the kitchen if ats how he's going to behave. It's a possession behavior over the food.

Either keep them out of the kitchen or put a leash on him and remove him from the kitchen when he behaves that way. Don't talk to him, don't say anything, just leash him up and take him out. If you can't get close enough to even do that I would highly suggest now allowing him in the kit hen at all.

Implement NILIF training now - he's testing you. Everyone in the family needs to reinforce that they are the boss over him. Google the term now and read up.

Chili also growled at me 3 weeks in - I withdrew all attention from and followed all NILIF training for the rest of the day. It made such an impression he hasn't done it again - huskies love attention and really hate it if you withdraw it.

Didn't know about the NILIF technique. I am reading about it now, very interesting.
