The Siberian Husky breeders were great when we picked up my little curious bundle of joy. They had so many things to tell us.
The breeders told us that in order to get him acquainted to where he would be going to the bathroom, it was important that we took him to that area of the yard first even before taking him into the house to look around.
When we got home, Mike took the little baby to the designated puppy potty area and waited and watched while the puppy sniffed every inch of the area.
Next time I took him out, it was back to the same spot and another successful stop. Yep. The Outhouse has been established.

I tried to take a toy away from my Siberian Husky and he astonished me by growling in protest.
As shocked as I was by this outward display of aggression, I knew I had to take control of the situation. Silently, I grabbed him by the collar and immediately led him to his timeout area.
There was no reason to speak to him, by showing that I was displeased and banishing him, he was able to be alone and understand the gravity in his mistake.
I waited about ten minutes and then I opened the door and invited him to come back into my living space.

When Mike first discussed the possibility of adding a puppy to our family, I asked him what he had in mind. His reply was, A lab. When I pushed him about what type he wanted, it became clear that he didn't know what choices were available to him at all. I told Mike that before we made such a big commitment he should do some homework about the breed. After all, there are some things to consider before buying a Siberian Husky puppy.
The first is what type of Siberian Husky do you want? There are two types of Siberian Huskys. There is the English bred Siberian Husky that is bred to be built heavier, thicker and blockier. Or the American bred Siberian Husky that is tall and lanky.
In addition, there are three color choices of Siberian Huskys to choose from: black, yellow, or chocolate.
Regardless of the options one might choose, every Siberian Husky Dog I have ever been around is a loving, eager to please type of pet and it would appear that my little baby is no different.

Since having the carpets cleaned every time my Siberian Husky puppy made a mess would turn out to be rather tie consuming and expensive, I made the decision to set up his living space in the kitchen.
I picked out a couple of toys and treats to lie on his blanket inside the crate and placed it in a secluded corner of the kitchen.
In order to keep my Siberian Husky puppy out of mischief, I installed a baby gate in the kitchen doorway. Then I put out his food dishes and a couple of chew toys as the final additions to his new living space.
I found that crawling on the floor was the best way to get a view of what my Siberian Husky puppy could gain access.

The first place I showed my puppy when he arrived home was his crate. I had previously made it warm and inviting by putting a blanket, some toys and a few treats inside.
My little Siberian Husky went inside to eat his treats and check things out. During the day, I left the door to the crate open so that he could retreat inside whenever he wanted to.
After I took my Siberian Husky out for his nighttime pee, I ushered him into his crate for the night. If he sounded like he was in pain or had to relieve himself, I went to check on him; otherwise, I left him alone.
After a few nights of whining, my Siberian Husky puppy settled down and started to sleep into the morning hours.

Every three hours. . . yes, every three hours. That is about how often I have to take this little guy outside to use the bathroom. He's eight weeks old and that's about the maximum his bladder can handle.
So, it's up every three (sometimes four) hours throughout the night and then again first thing I the morning definitely before coffee, then again after breakfast, and then every three hours throughout the day.
If he takes a nap during the day (which of course he does a lot because puppies are growing so much they need a ton of rest) we go right out upon waking up. After dinner it's potty time again and then one last time just before we go to bed.
I can't believe how many trips I make taking that little rascal outside every day and night. What is it? About 10? It's fine for now, but as the days get shorter and the air gets colder, I'm going to start liking it less and less.

The puppies of Siberian Huskys are usually healthy animals, but this does not mean they do not need Siberian Husky puppy care.
I have found that Siberian Husky puppy care is important to ensure your new dog is able to grow strong and healthy.
To get started with Siberian Husky puppy care, it was necessary to buy all the things my little puppy needed. Just like shopping for a child, these items consisted of a bed, blankets, cleaning products such as shampoos, a puppy collar, and dog treats.
This advice is something that should not be taken lightly because Siberian Husky puppy care is very important.

Many people who have adopted a dog from the pound ask, What to expect from a Siberian Husky rescue dog? This question can only be answered depending on the lifestyle your dog had before, or the home environment it was in before arriving at the local dog pound.
What you can expect from a Siberian Husky rescue dog might mean the dog was mistreated with its previous owners. Therefore, your new Siberian Husky can show signs of being afraid of you because it fears it might be hurt again, like it was before.
Your Siberian Husky might even show signs of aggression or anger, but this is something the dog pound will tell you about before you consider adopting a particular dog.
Before it is settled and realizes this is its new home, your Siberian Husky rescue dog can show depression and worry wondering if it will be sent back to the pound or moved again.

Mike came to me today and declared he wanted a Siberian Husky puppy. My reply to him was Are you prepared to invest a lot of time, money and energy into raising this thing? He in return kind of blinked at me with that blank what the hell are you talking about look?
Puppies require a ton of time and energy to be invested in them in order to ensure they end up being well behaved and well adjusted members of the family.
Puppies cost a lot beyond just their purchase price. Once you factor in things like room and board, health care and incidental equipment costs, it can be a pretty hefty investment.
I am not against having a Siberian Husky dog, I just want to be sure we aren't making a decision like adding a pet to our family just on impulse. This is a huge commitment and we should weigh the decision carefully.

You will need to take special care of your Siberian Husky in cold weather. Even in area with mild weather conditions a dog needs to be protected from low temperatures.
You need to plan ahead for the cold weather months. Your Siberian Husky will need extra effort on your part. This may include some special purchases.
When your Siberian Husky has been in the snow and ice carefully inspect his paws. Ice can cut the paws and snow stuck in between the pads can be detrimental.
Your Siberian Husky dog may also benefit from pet clothing. Even with a thick coat of fur, extra layers will insulate from severe cold.
