He was totally out of control and was very fear aggressive..... the blood we have lost! I had 8 cats and now have 5, he has never harmed any of them. I do have a German Shepard who I let take control of him, and he is now a gem. The bred can be difficult, but if I had had him from a puppy, I am sure that that the horror huskie that I recused would never have been created. At first he use to escape, but now he does not; he simply does not want to, he is loved after all. Bring the breed up properly and you should have no problems.

She's about seven months old and Everyone loves her but not the things she tends to do in the backyard.... I'm refferring to her escaping and trying to look for adventure when no one is able to be at home at that moment. She also digs holes but we can tell she is intelligent because all the wholes are in a straight line with the same amount of distance between each one and the depth is just as similar as well. She has learneds the word, "kisses" from me personally and when i say kisses se'll come up and lick my mouth. she is so beautiful and even though there cant be someone watching her every move everyday she still loves us and finds ways to entertain herself even if it is tearing up the yard and just making a total mess. GET A HUSKYYY! :):) I have the cutest siberian husky living with my family and I and she is so crazy and hyperactive but what puppy isnt going to be like that.

How does she act with new cats that she does not know? Does she chase squirrels and birds? Both my Sibes have very high prey drive, so they always want to go after squirrels, birds, and some cats.

Mine is now a year old and is the most awesome dog I have ever known. I got her when she was 8 weeks old. She was a dream to house train and lives happily with another dog and 2 cats. The one cat never bothers with her so she is not aloud to chase him (and she accepts this). The other cat loves playing with her. The cat has never, ever been harmed. You have to be a certain kind of person to have a sibe. They are definately misunderstood. Mine is the most well trained and behaved dog I have ever seen at 1 year old. Mine also sees right through people. She is very loving and affectionate, but has shown distaste for "fake" acting people. They are a very intelligent breed and I think some people are afraid to own one because they realize the dog has more intelligence than they do. I am tired of sibes getting a bad rep.

I was able to keep him for 6 yrs, but had to finally put him down. 3 months ago we decided to get a dog, of course I only wanted another sybe. this time I did my homework & bought from a reputable breeder.

When puppy bites, I non-mark her (No or Ack-ack) so that she knows it is an undesirable behavior. Then I redirect her biting onto a toy. This teaches her that it is ok to bite on toys but not ok to bite on me. If she bites on the toy, she gets praised and I play a game with her with the toy. If she ignores this and keeps biting on me, I withdraw my attention by folding up my arms, standing up, and turning away from her. Once she is calm, I can give her attention again. If she jumps on me and bites at my clothes, I calmly say time-out and put her in a boring time-out area.

She is 12 weeks now. I have a golden retriever who is socializing her. My pup bites at my retriever all day and she puts up with it, but lets her have it from time to time. She bites with us playing too and we are working with her to stop biting at us. I've noticed lately though that when I tell her "no', she bites at the air looking at me as she runs away, really sassy like. Is this something I should discourage? I have no idea how to. Also, should I tell her to stop biting my golden all day? I think my golden is just too laid back. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! Hi,
