OMG OMG!!!! We just got a husky pup Luna, she is now 9 weeks old and has been an absolute nightmare. Biting, jumping going to the bathroom wherever she feels. She is not really alone during the day fortunately our schedules work with that that when I am gone my fiancé is home and vice versa. I still crate her for training purposes and so that she becomes accustomed to being in there. She will behave and go outside to potty for a couple days and then slip up and its like downhill for the next couple of days after that. Biting is the worst she will not stop. I don’t know what to do at this point I’m becoming very frustrated and feeling bad for regretting this decision to get a pup. I knew it was work but holy crap, and a husky on top of it, I know it was going to be even tougher. Please help!!

– how often do you bath and groom?
– how much time do you spend on the units: playing time, training time, walking time, exercising time

Thanks agaign and hope to hear from you soon 🙂

My name is Maria and my Husky is Miss White. She is now 7 months old and I have to say that I am pretty happy with her behavior and obedience… up to a week ago.
She started vandalizing around the house. At first I thought that the room she used to stay for max 4 hours alone is maybe not enough and maybe seen as a punishment, but then after leaving another door open – she destroyed the cat tree 🙁
I always leave her 2 big full kongs, a piece of wood, a bone or skin to chew on. But still….
We go out in the morning for minimum of 30 minutes, then before I leave for work is feeding time (kongs). My roommate goes out with her again by midday. Then again after work I go out with her for 1 hour, play and train almost all the time. I do not let her off leash (during the week), because due to the winter season it is dark and I am scared. I try to keep in touch with other dogs so that she has a better playmate but it is hard to meet other dogs every day. Mostly on the weekend I let her run free. We sometimes have longer go outs than the 5 minutes pro month regulation.
Do you have any suggestion on what I can approve in our daily routine? Does the routine have to be the same also on weekends? Can you recommend any toys and indoor games?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and advice.

Best regards,
Maria

Some of my experiences with introducing a second dog –

When my puppy was still small, I kept a soft-lead on her so that she is next to me. In this way, I can direct play and stop play when things get too rough.

Congratulations on your new puppy! Yeah, I have more rules during puppy time. I find that it also helps to have my puppy on a lead so that she is close to me and I can make sure my other dogs aren’t too rough. Here are some of my play-time rules –

The yelling does not help because she is to old and is used to yelping

It is but that is not good what you want to do is tell your dog that is not good or if it is a puppy Yelp because it show that it hurt you then redirect the him/her and if he keeps it up tell him he not behaving correctly put him in his crate
