Unlike golden retrievers, huskies are a relatively difficult dog to train. Moreover, huskies are very energetic and interested in everything. They can easily be distracted during daily training. Therefore, dogs mainly have greater patience and love. The following are three effective methods of Husky training summarized for you by "We Love Pets Network": rewards, induction, and mandatory training.

One of the basic Husky training: rewards

——Rewards are the favorite training method for Husky dogs. We recommend that dog owners use this method to motivate their Huskies. Rewards are the most effective training method. (Related article: The best time to train a Husky puppy)

——Use more verbal rewards. Generally speaking, it is best to use food encouragement as little as possible, because often rewarding the Husky with food can easily cause the puppy to be greedy and steal food. You can use verbal praise or touch the back of the Husky's ears, nape, top of the head, or under the neck. , the effect of this kind of spiritual reward is actually no worse than the effect of material reward.

——In addition, it is not appropriate to reward the Husky before it has completed its movements. It is best to wait until the Husky dog ​​completes the entire action continuously before rewarding it, rather than just focusing on one or two actions. Otherwise, the Husky will quickly become numb to too many rewards.

Basic Husky Training Part 2: Induction

——Induction refers to the use of delicious food, objects, trainer's actions, etc. to induce the husky to perform certain actions, thereby establishing a conditioned reflex.

——For example, if you want the husky to learn to correctly grasp the command "come", the trainer can tease the husky with a piece of meat in front of it. The dog will definitely "come" obediently and come to the side. At this time, Yuwan cannot reward the dog with meat. Give it to the dog, so it will misunderstand your "come" to mean "eat". Repeat this many times, and the husky will understand that the so-called "coming" is a process of walking to the owner from far to near. No meat is needed, and after a few more trainings, your dog will definitely be able to understand your "come" command accurately.

Basic Husky training three: mandatory

——Forcing refers to the use of mechanical stimulation and deterrent commands to force the Husky to successfully complete a certain action. The so-called mechanical stimulation refers toBehaviors such as pulling on the leash, pressing, tapping and patting.

——For example, if the trainer lifts the husky’s collar with his right hand and presses the husky’s waist with his left hand, the husky will inevitably sit down. Coercive methods are more direct than induction methods and are less likely to cause misunderstandings, allowing the dog to understand the meaning of the command while being forced to obey. This method is a bit simple and crude, and does not take into account the voluntariness of the Husky.

——But sometimes, the general saying of lessons and scolding has made Huskies feel accustomed and commonplace, and they don't care about the so-called sincere inducement. At this time, the completion of some actions and the change of the dog's behavioral habits must be carried out by coercive means.

——Sometimes a husky will be extremely naughty at home (related article: A real husky you don’t know), and when scolding it loudly does not help, you can give it a strong stimulus to force it to behave correct. You can put food sprinkled with chili powder into the dog's mouth and help it wear a mask. This is a relatively extreme form of coercion and punishment, but it is often one of the effective measures.

——Generally speaking, the intensity when training Huskies should not be excessive, and strong stimulation should only be given when necessary. The intensity should not be too high in the early stages of training. It should be used with caution on timid Husky puppies.
