not recommended to keep in toilet cause the floor quite cold at night. barking when you caged him is common. let him get used to the cage, so you wont be headache in the future. if you do not practice caging him now, you will find difficulties to cage him in the future. another way is to potty train him so that he will be able to run free in the house

1. When the puppy arrives home, he may pee on the floor. Put a stack of newspaper on top, turn it over and let it dry.
2. Put the stained newspaper at the specific spot you want (doorsteps or corners). DO NOT change the spot occasionally.
3. When the puppy woke up from sleep, bring him to the spot and wait for him to finish business.
4. When he finish meals, bring him again to the spot.
5. When you notice that he wants to pee or poo, bring him again to the spot.
6. You have to be consistent and pay more attention to his behavior to ensure that he is able to learn where to pee and poo.
7. DO NOT scold him or beat him if he did wrongly. Praise him when he did his business at the spot. Give him some snacks or verbally praise him if he manages to do it right.
8. It is not necessary to buy the housebreaking spray in the market to help out with this training. That spray may only helps out for 50%.
9. If your living room is quite big, please place a few spot as the puppy won’t be able to run that fast to the specific spot to pee and poo. If he couldn’t reach the spot, he will just do it on the floor.

Based on my own experience la

Im giving him Eukanuba brand dog food & [Brewer's Yeast & Garlic with Linoleic (Omega 3,6,9,Fatty Acids)]

But it's abit hard to train husky to pee on wee wee pad cause it may take up the whole piece of it. What i'll do with my husky is, open the door to my porch and let her out to do her business. Once she is done, she will come back inside the house.

As husky's coat is double coat, it's quite hard to bath them. I'm bathing mine 2 weeks once.

Regarding dog food, you can try to "upgrade" to upper range like natural balance, eagle pack, orijen and evo. Those are dog food with better ingredients. If you want the skin and coat to be nice, feed your husky with cod liver oil too.

Hope this helps blush.gif

the ears so cute, like rabbit ears.. my husky's ears are more to sharp. humping is showing dominance. Say "NO" to them when you notice they are humping one another.

Guys,

i m having a tough time teaching my husky ....i realize that he is very very stubborn compares to other dogs ....i tried scolding him ...i tried hitting his mouth whenever he bites ...he knows he is wrong but he will still do it the moment i look away ....he likes walking behind my lab and bite his back leg...when my lab gets angry ...he will run away ....after that he will do the same thing again ....he will follow him from behind quietly and bit him ....i pity my lab.....how to teach him?

Husky is very very stubborn which is true. The thing you need to do is show him who is the boss. Otherwise, he wont take you as the owner seriously. Normally, when a pups bite our hand, I will recommend to put some vinegar on the hand and let them bite. Perhaps you can try this way on your lab's back leg?? But remember wash the vinegar off after you tried it with the husky ya

Hi fellow husky owners.. I'm getting my very own husky in 11 days time  rclxm9.gif  but I have a few questions to ask as I'm a first time owner  blush.gif

1) The pup is only +2mths old, what kind of dog food do I have to get? wet or dry? any specific brand?
ask the seller or the breeder on the brand of dog food that he's feeding the pup, you must stick back to the same brand for at least a week to avoid diarrhea

2) The pup had only his first vaccination, when should I bring him for the 2nd and 3rd?
you can check for vet nearby your area here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/264418

3) I've read that huskies don't need frequent bathing. How often you guys give your huskies baths? any specific dog shampoo?
i bathe my adult husky two weeks once with coat handler or all system, but make sure you blow him dry after that. Their fur is too thick to be dry off by themselves


4) Do you keep your huskies in cages? or they should be left to roam free in and outdoors?
If your pup is well-trained, no harm in letting him to roam free only if he behaves well.

Please help a soon-to-be husky owner here  notworthy.gif

hope this helps you.
