Husky Training - What You Need To Know

Dog training opens up the lines of communication between you and your husky. A real form of two way communication is established through positive non violent dog training. You and your dog will learn to interact with each other in a mutually respectful manner, based on co-operation and understanding. A well socialized and trained dog will become a fantastic life-long companion, work mate and friend. An untrained dog can quickly become a burden and an endless source of frustration.

It is fairly easy to train your husky to sit and will only take a couple of minutes a day and some of his favorite treats. Try to be enthusiastic when training your husky, this will get your husky to get excited with you. Just like people, huskiess are very social animals that crave love and security. Because of this, we find behavioral patterns that account for both their playfulness and trainability. The more excited you are the more likely they will listen to you. Remember, tricks are just for fun – you should never get mad or punish your husky for not doing a trick right.

As you can see, starting a dog training career is a serious choice that needs to be investigated thoroughly before you begin. Let's say that you have decided you will put in the time and effort necessary for a successful dog training career because you love dogs, want to work with them everyday, and out committed to being a knowledgeable, skillful dog trainer. The next big question is how to do you start your dog training career?

Call your husky over to you and make sure you give him a chance to spot that treat in your hand– show but dont give! Make sure your husky is in a standing. Then, give the command SIT. A well trained dog appreciates the guidance, structure and boundaries you provide through training. Get him in to a sitting position and praise/reward every time he successfully sits.

Keep practicing this over and over again until your husky sits without you placing him in the sitting position. Training relieves much of the frustration and stress that exists between you and your dog. He will learn that when you say the command “Sit” and he goes into a sitting position he gets a nice treat and lots of praise! It's far better than having a nervous, anxious and confused dog who is continually being yelled at for things he/she doesn't even understand. This makes a mental note that he should be able to quickly remember.
