Siberian Husky Puppy Training

Now that you own a Siberian Husky puppy, it’s time to take care of training. Most owners don’t realize that training your dog to obey, listen and behave is important key in proper dog care. In reality though, teaching your Husky puppy how to behave around people is the best thing you can do for your dog.

Dogs like things as simple as possible, most of us would probably agree with them there. They want to know what is allowed and what isn’t. Have you ever caught your Siberian Husky hesitating before jumping on the couch or stopping to look at you before they finish their meal? When they do that, they are looking for any signals that will confirm their actions.

Simply put, these dogs want to make their owners happy but they are not always sure if what they doing is right. So instead they look at you to see what you have to say about it. This is why training a Siberian Husky puppy is so important. Through training, they learn what is acceptable and what isn’t. That means less time to worry about things, and more time enjoying their puppy days.

When to start training

First thing you must understand about training Siberian Huskies is that there are different types of training. I’ll cover the three important categories so you have a better understanding of each.

Behavior Training – This category includes everything that has to do with a Huskies obedience. Stopping destructive chewing, barking housebreaking all falls into here. You should start training your puppy to behave right away. The earlier they learn these rules, the less mess there will be for you to clean up.

Socializing - This is when you train the puppy to behave around other people or animals. Puppies are a lot more open to learning so I suggest you socialize your dog while he is still young. Invite some friends over to play with the puppy, take your husky out on a walk to the park or take him around your block to meet the neighbors.

Trick Training – Training tricks is not necessary but it helps with your dog’s obedience. While the Husky is still a puppy, you can start teaching him basic tricks like sit and come. Once he reaches around 5-6 months of age you can start training tricks like fetch, rollover and play dead.

Puppy training tips

Here are some additional Husky puppy training tips that will help you get started:

• Always be consistent. Your dog will learn things a lot quicker if you are consistent with your commands. For example – don’t substitute “sit” for “sit down” and vice versa.
• Husky puppies are a lot like children, so treat them like a child. Think about how children learn things and use that in your training. For example, be positive and excited when your puppy does something right.
• Training sessions with a Siberian Husky puppy should be short. Keep the no longer than 14 minutes. You can have multiple training sessions during the day, but give your puppy plenty of breaks in between.
