[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 407120"] I have husky hybrids. One is coyoty and alaskan husky, the other is red capacian wolf and siberian husky. Rambuncious, full of 2 yr old energy, tenacious, powerful and playful, always on the go...that's just the first few descriptives I can use for my boys. One thing I do agree with is NEVER play tug of war with a dog. It is a form of power struggle for them. It is something that, behavior wise, is not a good idea to be instilling in a dog. They will win, they are tenacious about winning the tug of war. Especially certain breeds, Sheppard being one of them. Huskies are very much the same behaviorally for tug of war. They are working dogs, sledders. My siberian hybrid was a sledding dog, he is trained for mid line sled pulling (not point or end line, he's in the middle, his sister was a point dog, as in leader). Huskies have a natural, insane need to run, pull things and play. They are also diggers. Crate training - YES YES YES YES!!! All the way YES!!! Suffer the pains of training now for the joys of being trained later. She will howl, she will bark, she will whine, she will cry for the first little bit. It's like tough love in the beginning of crate training but they will come to realize (and they always do) that this is their safety place where they can go and do go for quiet time, relaxation and sleep time. NEVER feed a dog in their crate, never leave water in their crate. The crate is not for feeding it is for sleeping and quiet time. A dog rarely deficates in their sleeping space after the first time (puppies can't hold it all night either) it happens, and it will. Also, last feeding and watering should be well before bedtime so that the prior does not happen. Another thing I recc, is commands. Sit, stay, heel, up or down (up for up on the bed if you allow it, we do, down command when you want them off the furniture). Also teach them that the table and kitchen during meals is not their place - reduces table scrap begging. If you do allow table scraps, after the family is done and in THEIR bowl not on one of your plates. Dogs are like toddlers, they learn by leadership and example. [/QUOTE]
