Clicker training-Positive Reinforcement |
| Huskies are a working breed and were used to pull sleds in their native Siberia. Nowadays huskies are used for numerous dog sports including canicross, bikejoering and carting. Huskies are also incredibly smart and will use their brain, if you like it or not, and need to be physically and mentally entertained in order to be relaxed, well-behaved pets. We firmly believe that working with your husky will open a whole different path of communication, will make you appreciate their unique character and will deepen your relationship. It is never too early or too late to start with training - every puppy should go to at least 6 sessions of puppy socialization and every adult dog should have at least been to one basic obedience course. While huskies are very versatile and will have fun in many different doggie classes including agility, dog dancing and obedience, it is essential to keep in mind that huskies are free-spirits and that they will learn best using reward-based training (as will any other animal for that matter). We therefore urge you to take your husky to training and seek out a class that uses positive reinforcement - ideally clicker training. We do not recommend that you go to classes where punishment is the method of learning and where choke chains and/or electroshock collar are used or the alpha role is practiced. |
