How to Work a Husky

Siberian huskies are eager, intelligent dogs that want to please, so positive reinforcement is key in their training and work program. This breed requires lots of activity -- daily exercise is a must. The husky needs an alpha owner who demonstrates leadership gently but consistently with praise and rewards.

Instructions

Start early, when your husky is a puppy, with simple obedience commands such as "sit," "down," and "fetch." Keep your commands short and clear, and reward the dog with a treat when it responds correctly. Don't scold when the dog makes a mistake. Huskies are sensitive and respond poorly to negative reinforcement. Begin again and praise when the desired behavior is accomplished.

Keep work sessions short. Huskies are a working breed and have high endurance but long work sessions result in lost focus and mistakes which are frustrating to both the trainer and the dog. Stop when a successful command is accomplished, even if it's a simple one. Don't end a work session on a bad note.

Vary the program. Alternate work sessions with play that allows the dog plenty of running or free time in a fenced area. Huskies have abundant energy and are better behaved when regularly exercised. Make exercise fun with games of fetch and ball-throwing.

Praise the dog whenever it performs a good behavior, such as returning the ball to you. Add a treat when a new behavior is performed or one that you want to reinforce. Use high-value treats for work sessions.

Build on your husky's training as behaviors are accomplished. Introduce new tasks gradually, such as pulling a sled or therapy work. Huskies love learning and enjoy new challenges.
