hi, please help… i have 2 husky boys both 8 months old brothers, had them since they were pups. I have 2 female dogs 1 husky, 1 crossbreed. The 2 boys have recently started having dog fights,. For no reason that i can see, one of the boys will just start growling at the other. mostly the one who started the growling first will eventually walk away because the other dog wont fight back, but on a few occassions he has and its really scary. there has been a couple of dog cuts when this has happened. When the growling first starts i try to correct them but it makes it 10 times worst and they end up fighting! Is this a dominance thing? i dont want to have to rehome a male, but dont know what to do??? any help please.

we just got a siberian husky pup, and 2 baby kittens. he is great with the kittens, and great with children. i think temperaments are a great guideline, but ultimately your dog is reflection of yourself and it’s surroundings. your dog will remind you when you are out of balance. dogs are angels with paws instead of wings

so our husky Josie decided to kill a skunk while we were on vacation. Had someone house and dog sitting for us, don’t know if they’ll want to take that on again. What a job trying to de-skunk the house and dog although they did a pretty good job. When we came home you could still smell it some but it wasn’t too bad. That now makes her kills a duck, squirrel, many rabbits (her fav.), birds and now a skunk, what to do with that girl. We want to get another dog to keep her company but are a bit nervious as we wanted to get a smaller dog, hope she will do ok with that.

i’ve always wanted a husky , my aunt has a husky chow mix named tuffy .. but let me tell you , she’s such a wuss ! she’s the nicest thing you’ll ever meet , and biggest too . i know huskies need a lot of training , but if you breed them with another dog can it be easier for you to train them ?

Thanks Alison, I’ve been doing that and it has helped alot, a big thank you to both you and Sharon for the helpful hints. Josie is a wonderful dog. The extent of her bad behavior now is tearing up a kleenex or paper towel if left laying around. We snicker and make a big deal out of it as we can surly live with an occational torn kleenex. Take care, Brenda

I have a stunning 6 month old husky male who loves to play and run and will run 5/6 miles already with running belt and harness 3 times a week plus 3 daily large walks per day off the leash .He shows no sign of distress with this amount of exercise and has working stock in his mother & father.My only concern is that he plays great with my kids but at times , especially feeding time he seems to growl if they go near him and his front lip rises . I supervise all the time and he has never bitt or attacked , when i am around he totally ignores the kids and only gives myself attention .He is very fond and affectionate to my wife but will ignore the kids outwith play time.He loves playing footi with them and believe it or not on the trampoline in back yard.We got him from 8 weeks old and has been the centre of my families attention from day one although my 3 year old can be tough on him but i have noticed that when i am around and the kids clap him he lowers his head and gives a slight growl but never attacks.I have always checked him and try to encourage my 8 year old to feed him and remove his bowl and brush his teeth .
Does anyone have any idea why he growls at them .
I live in the UK and Akino is my first dog .
Any tips would be appreciated.
