hmmm ok thank you

I own a siberina husky. She is very well behaved. I took her to obedience classes. Huskies have so much energy and they are a family oriented dog, meaning they love to be around people. In no way are they a guard dog, they are just to friendly.

I would say the reason that your husky tries to escape is bc it doesnt like being alone when your gone. My husky at certain times will go wild if she sees me outside in the front yard through the window, she thinks she is missing out on something i guess. I have never had a problem with her trying to escape while im gone and i have a doggy door so she can go in and out all day long. She does though have a tendency to want to run out the front door if it is left open. I did walk her a lot off the leash when she was a pup but no i cant she is to adventurous or curious.

Do you have another dog/companion for your husky?

now the my husky doesnt have a companion that is well.. big enough for him lol. he just recently ran away and i just got him back after one week!!! which im very relieved about. he seems the same. but i'm still very afraid or fearful that he will run away again. anyways

i really would like to not do a crate training although it may be my only option...
my father suggests that i gradually train him. like leave for 10 min then come back then continue gradually increasing the time he's alone. until he is able to handle being alone for longer periods of times without ruining my home. what do you think about this method?

Siberians can be mischevious, and as a result can be notorious escape artists. The best solution to this problem is an electrified wire at the top, and or bottom of your fence, depending on the problem (digging or climbing or both). You can obtain a cheap, low power, electric charger at any home improvement store. I have two solar powered ones. The shock they produce is very small, sort of a strong static electric shock, and the dogs absolutely hate it. I have a very short fence where I live now (4 ft in some areas), with several gaps at the bottom that would take any of my dogs seconds to dig out. However, with the little wire at the bottom, they stay about 8 inches away from the fence at all times. All it takes is one shock. I do not recommend the "invisible fence" type of arrangement for a variety of reasons that I will not go into here.

hmm i was thinking about that but its not just a fence he gets out from. he'll tear up a window in order to get out.

Have you tried sound diversion, or distractions?
Like go outside, watch the dog and when he tries to get out/escape either make a loud noise to get his attention off of escaping or squeak a toy or something and then get him to come back and keep him distracted away from a fence. Other then that I think crate training is the only option.

hmmm icic. yea icic. ok then i guess i'll have to resort to crate training. i read up about it so i have to ween him into it?

Hi all. I'm new in the forum. Maybe one of you can help me.

I found a siberian husky wondering in the streets. She is only skin and bones. The first two days she was eating and walking around. This morning she doesn't want to eat, or drink. She is just lying and doesn't even want to come to me when I call her.

I think her previous owners might have mishandled her. She moans if you touch her on sertain spots on her body. She really looks bad.

Please can anyone give me some information on how to help Sammy.(I named her Sammy, Seeing she didn't have a dog coller)

Have you taken this dog to the vet? It sounds like it is in pain, and if it was abused it's going to need x-rays and a thorough exam. It could have even run away and been hit by a car or something. Good luck (and good for you for trying to save the poor guy)

Take the dog to the vet. It needs a through check. As was mentioned, it may have serious injuries. Then, you need to contact the local shelters and rescues to let them know you found this dog in case it's owner is looking for it. You have nothing to base a judgement of the dog's owners at this point--they may be perfectly loving owners who dog got lose or ran away and got hurt.
