Have you heard of the Siberian “Houdini” Huskies?

Big Dog | January 25th, 2010

Let’s say you would want a Siberian Husky as a pet. Good. They are a very handsome looking breed with that wolf-like appearance. Now let’s say you’d like to take them to the park and play Frisbee or even a game of fetch. Maybe not a very good idea, as much as you may want to do so, there is big possibility that your Husky will just run and not come back. Many owners have lost their Huskies due to their high energy and their need to wander and explore. So it wouldn’t be a good idea to give them something to run after for you may end up running after them.

If you keep them in a yard, it should be fenced to at least six feet in height for they are powerful jumpers. They may also try to climb out so maybe a roof might be in order. If they can’t go over, they will definitely try and dig under so it’s best to have it planted into concrete. If over and under way escape fails, then the Husky will try to go through it by finding cracks and pushing hard until it gives way. Even having invisible fences may not be as effective for they are smart and will run pass the perimeter quickly and their thick fur actually gives them protection. So if you want to have a Siberian Husky, its best to find out the best way to keep him inside safely.

How much weight can a Siberian Husky pull?

Ann | November 11th, 2009

The Siberan Husky is a working dog that is best known for its wolf like appearance and its role in pulling sleds over the frozen land. Bred and raised by Siberian nomads called Chukchi, they were fast and economical transportation for thousands of years.

The breed was quick and could master most if not every terrain. Their strength would lie in numbers when packs would work as a team in pulling sleds and covering great distances with minimal need of food. By 1908, the dog was introduced in Alaska word had gotten loose that there was a superior type of sled dog. In 1909, Siberian Huskies made its debut in the All Alaska Sweepstake Race. It is said that the average weight a Husky can pull on its own would be equivalent to its own weight. So if the dog weighed 60 pounds it should have the strength to pull approximately 60 pounds.

How to groom a Siberian Husky

Ann | October 27th, 2009

What a beautiful dog the Siberian Husky is! Having a wolf-like appearance, many people are just awestruck when seeing it for the first time. They have been featured in many films pulling sleds and overcoming frigid temperatures.  They are an embodiment of athleticism and power. However admiring the Siberian Husky for its looks is quite different from maintaining and keeping it that way.

Having a broom or vacuum cleaner handy will not solve the problem. Having a double coat of straight hair and a soft undercoat, these dogs really shed. An undercoat rake is recommended for the undercoat and may take an hour to get all the hair out. Next is to shampoo the dog and lather him up well. Rinsing all the shampoo out is needed to avoid irritations. Use a slicker brush after blow drying the coat dry to remove loose hair and give a smooth finish. Tartar removal by thrice a week brushing and trimming of nails is beneficial for all.

New dog/human POWERED RIGS !

Big Dog | October 6th, 2009

FOCUS your dogs energy!  Your both going to the same place so why not work together as a team. Check out these new dog pulling rigs.  You’ve seen people having their dog pull them on sleds, carts, bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, etc. and QUESTION the controllability and safety of the method, due to fact that the dog is out in front on a line and only under voice command.

Well these new designs are different in that the dog is harnessed into the SIDE/REAR of a kick scooter and or “tadpole” trike designs with 2 wheels in front for powerful steering and braking.. So the dog has to follow the rig thru the turns and is subect to its brakes. This gives the rider the directional and speed control to make “mushing” appropriate  on urban/conjested sidewalks, bikepaths and trails and eliminates the extensive dog  training need with the traditional “dog out front” pulling methods.  It allows the dog to get all the exercise they want/need yet keeps him under complete control (the rigging/bar will only let the dog go forward, they cannot turn the shoulders and pull to the side) even better and easier than a leash. The location and the way the dog is harnessed into the rig was designed to be neutral to the units  handling, and place no weight on the dog, and is very easy to ride by young and old. Yet requires some skill and offers enough excitement and exercise for the rider (you do need to help the dog up the hills and can do all or any percentage of the work) that its a real sport. The care of the dog (canine motivation, rider/dog weight ratio limits, hydration, paw inspection, etc.) gives this sport further depth and satisfaction. Most healthy, confident, young and driven dogs get over the “fear” of being next to wheels and the restricted side to side movement in one session-but some may be more spooked and take repeated sessions. This is a relatively quick and strait forward task compared to teaching the voice commands necessary with the “dog out front” method, which even then doesn’t compare to the precision steering offered with these designs. The system is vertically adjustible for a range of dogs and a “tall” outrigger is available for the giant breeds.  The dog can also sit while hooked into the trike and scooter- and even ly down while in the scooter.

Single, double and triple dog units (side by side or both on same side) are available.  The single scooter starts at $555 which includes the high quality scooter, outrigger bar & shock absorbing rigging, wheel cover, harness and shipping in the lower 48 U.S..  The trikes are more money of course but totally stable. Its a great way to get to the dog park or trailhead where you can let your doggy out of the system to free play, swim, etc.

Siberian Husky Dog Training

Big Dog | March 12th, 2009

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential.

Also, dog training is an integral part of a working dog’s life for them to be able to assist humans in activities like hunting and police work. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

Dog training is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Dogs like the iconic German Shepherd are very easily trained due to their high intelligence. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Siberian Husky puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your Siberian Husky as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your Siberian Husky, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.
