Training is needed to adapt a Siberian husky to your home lifestyle. Huskies are also highly intelligent dogs and are happiest when learning and discovering new things. To keep you and your Husky satisfied, this is where training comes into play. The following are the 5 different ways in which you should train your Siberian husky. You’ll find that some of the training methods overlap with each other, but that’s just the nature of training a dog.

1. Potty Training

First of all, you need to potty train your Siberian husky from the day you bring him home. Also known as “stealing the house,” you should teach your Husky pup to go to the bathroom on his own when he’s outside, while he also trains his bladder to hold it through the night or until he’s let out.

When potty training, it’s best to do so with the inclusion of a crate, as dogs will naturally try not to relieve themselves where they sleep. As long as the crate is small enough that the dog can’t sleep at one end and relieve himself at the other, your Siberian husky will learn to hold his bladder and relieve himself only when allowed outside.

When potty training, you should remain alert and instantly take your dog outside when he shows signs of needing to go to the bathroom, as well as give him plenty of positive reinforcement when he relieves himself outside.

2. Obedience training

Nothing keeps a Siberian husky happy more than when they are learning new things, therefore obedience training is a must. Teaching your Siberian Husky commands like “sit,” “stay” and “come here” will also put you in a leadership position with your dog, which is vital, while also making your Siberian Husky easier to handle. .

Huskies are a highly intelligent breed but they can also have a certain ‘stubbornness’. Because of this, some people find it difficult to obedience train their Siberian husky. Your husky may whine and whine when told to obey a command, as he may be thinking “not again!” or even worse, they will sit quietly even though they know the order.

The great rule of thumb when obedience training your Husky is to simply use a lot of persistence, while also breaking up your training sessions into short 20-minute bouts to maintain the dog’s attention span.

3. Behavioral training

Behavior training is all about teaching your dog what is acceptable behavior and what is NOT. His Siberian husky, due to his mischievous personality, will constantly try to push the limits of behavior that he can get away with.

The important thing to remember is that if there are any rules that you have for your Husky, you should set them and NOT break them even once. You may have rules like not sleeping in your bed, not climbing on people to say hello, staying out of certain rooms, or not eating from the table. Allowing even ONE chance to let your Siberian Husky break the rules means he can do it again in the future.

When training the behavior, you need to make sure that you use both positive and negative reinforcement. Most people understand positive reinforcement to be simply giving affection and rewards for doing something good. On the other hand, negative reinforcement involves the use of verbal reprimands, spray bottles, penny cans, leash corrections, and shock collars.

4. Respect Training

Siberian Huskies are pack animals and therefore have a strong sense of who is the leader and who is the subordinate. The most important thing to remember is that you and your Husky are NOT the same, or in other words, you and your Husky are not “friends.” Instead, you need to communicate to your dog that you are the leader and she is the subordinate. Period.

Believe it or not, Sibes (like all dogs) are happiest when they know they are being led by a strong and competent leader. And when you show yourself as the leader of the pack, your Husky will acknowledge it by giving you “respect.” So in this sense, respect training is simply a matter of showing your dog who’s boss.

When it comes to training, it’s about doing simple everyday actions, like having your dog move out of the way instead of walking around it, or eating first and then feeding your dog. Another is allowing yourself to walk through the gates before your dog, and this is because the “rite of passage” is important to a dog.

5. Training with boxes

Siberian Huskies are a breed that is naturally inclined to break away and run away when given the chance. Also at the same time, Sibes will become destructive when bored after being left alone. For these reasons, it is imperative that you crate train your dog, as he will most likely not be able to attend to your Husky 24 hours a day.

Many people think that petting your dog is cruelty to animals, when in reality, when done correctly, a crate becomes a comfortable and safe haven for your dog while you’re gone. This will protect her from damaging the house or putting herself in danger, and when not in use the cage can be left open to serve as a resting place. If you cannot bear the thought of putting your Siberian Husky in a crate for several hours a day, especially at night, it is recommended that you DO NOT get a Siberian Husky.
