Laika is a versatile breed, an excellent hunter, friend and, when necessary, a watchman. Most often it is acquired by avid hunters who appreciate its ability to work with any game, adjusting to the hobbies of the owner. Therefore, training this dog in hunting skills is very important, but we will talk about the initial, basic education course, which will help the dog adapt more easily to living conditions in an apartment or in a house, in a city.
Instructions
Step 1
When you bring a puppy into the house that has just been torn away from its mother, from sisters and brothers, assign it a place in the house, but not on the balcony or on the veranda. During this period, try to ease separation and naturally replace the lost family. After feeding, take him to a certain place yourself, talking and stroking gently, wait until he falls asleep. Such "tenderness" will contribute to the fact that in a couple of days the puppy will stop whining, eat better and become more cheerful. In addition, it will help from the first to the last days of his life to establish the closest and most trusting contact with him - the basis of your coexistence and understanding.
Step 2
The sleeping place and the feeding place of the husky must be strictly defined. Please note that the baby needs to go to the toilet immediately after eating and after sleeping, then after he eats. Therefore, accustom him to order immediately, taking him out in time for the administration of natural needs. With your perseverance and perseverance, the dog will begin to understand what is required of him from a very early age. By two months, he must clearly know his place, the place of feeding, the command "to me" and correctly respond to the whistle, the sound of which replaces this command in the hunt.
Step 3
Continue to reinforce the execution of this command and the whistle response after three months, when you begin to take full walks with the puppy. At the same time, start teaching him the basic commands: next to, sit, lie down, voice, look, stand, can't, take, give. By the age of four months, well-trained husky puppies, as a rule, complete the basic course without problems and with pleasure, especially since obedience is stimulated by delicacy and affection, which is also very important for dogs.
Step 4
Raising a husky requires perseverance and firmness, but it should not be overly tough. Pay attention to your dog's tendencies and behaviors and use them to develop skills that you find helpful. At the same time, suppress harmful inclinations before they develop into habits. Do not think that you will have to get rid of them when the puppy grows up. The foundations of raising a husky are laid at the age of one year.
