I have a 4 year old husky that loves to play. He is not aggressive in any way but appears that way because of his size.. If you are going to own a husky, you better be able to take him for long hikes at least once a week otherwise he gets bored. I have 1 other dog and two cats. I had 3 cats until the husky decided she was a playtoy. That cat is now dead but the husky didn’t mean to hurt her, it was just that he was to big for her to play with. I would be careful with animals or humans that are smaller than them because they are so strong but they do not mean any harm

I have a sable and white siberian husky,(gramma might have been a siberian wolf/husky hybrid) with ice blue eyes, had her for for 5 months, raised well, she is a jewel of a dog, everyone including dogs, strangers, cats, grandkids are her best friends.. never growled or was aggressive to anyone except the fun “growltalk/wolftalk” to me.. beautiful girl.. She protects my my grandkids including the mean one.. took a while for her to bond with us, they are are a very devoted breed but knew that going in..

We have a 3 year old husky cross and 2 children 2.5 years old and 1 year old and if anything she is very protective of them. She is the sweetest dog I have ever seen / raised. We got her from SPCA so we don;t know what her other breed is, but she looks very husky. We got her when she was 7 months old and our son was 3 months old, but she has exepted him from the start. She is also very good with other dogs, off leash as well.

I dont believe that these dogs are that mean. My mother has a full breed siberian husky who is 3 yrs old. My mother has 14 grandchildren the dogs love all of them. He even allows the young ones who are between 1 an 3 yrs of age to lay on him. Altho he is very protective of my mother he is friendly to almost everyone who comes around. An i think if raised with young child and other animals when the are a pup helps as well cuz she has several other animals including cats and he plays with them.

hello
my name is sarah, i am from the UK and just purchased a husky pup of 11wks. He keeps nipping when playing and chewing things. I hold his jaw shut and giv him a firm no, he is learning. It is never to early to start training a husky, if you start too late you will end up with a realy stubborn dog. I am trying to house train him at the minute. When he goes and does his business in the rite place i say he is a good boy and giv him a biscuit if he doesnt he gets told no and put where he should do it. He learning slowly now though. I suggest before you consider buying a husky you really need to do your homework they can be hard work.

I don’t know, but most puppies love to bite, just don’t let it bite your limbs, juts give them a toy. I think its just teething.

Stanley- your husky is a puppy and teething. Yes, he should grow out of it, but try the following to train him:

-When he bites you, yelp like another dog very loudly and turn your back to him, stopping play immediately. When he calms down, the you can initiate play. This is how his litter mates would have taught him that teeth are sharp and hurt.

-Everytime he gets mouthy, also try giving a firm “No!” and replacing your hand in his mouth with a toy or bone that is acceptable to chew.

Read up on training. It will help. Most issues don’t just “go away.” You have to put a little work into them.
