Where to start
Usually motivated by food and movement. Use that in training and keep sessions short and rewarded.
First focus
Practice recall on a long line in secure areas: a Husky off leash may not return.
Next
Teach loose-leash walking early, since they were bred to pull.
Daily habit
Keep fences secure, because many Huskies are skilled at digging and escaping.
Breed notes describe tendencies in a group of dogs, not your dog. Every dog is an individual, and Dogify does not assess your dog. This is general training information and not a substitute for a qualified professional.
