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. |

| How old is he and how did you train him before hand? (Or are you just in the midst of training him now?)
Once they realize what they should be doing, Huskies can be stubborn. It helps to put them on a "Variable Schedule", which is not giving him a treat when he does perform a trick. The longer you don't give him one before giving him a treat, the more he will get hooked on pleasing you and seeing if he'll get a treat.
Try holding a treat and asking him to sit, but than not giving him the treat. Still praise him and tell him he's done a job well done, but he just doesn't get a treat!
Hope that helps. |

| He's two years old and has had no training for the majority of his life, only recently i have been teaching him (two months), i know its hard, but for an old dog i think he is learning at a really fast pace. I'll try that the next time i am with him. Thanks for the advice (: |

| I like to change things up to help prevent that entitlement attitude... sometimes a treat, sometimes not, sometimes a treat but they didn't know about it ahead of time. etc... |
