Siberian Huskies are not a breed for the new or timid owner. They need a strong owner who will maintain an alpha position in the home. They need obedience training from a young age and can be a difficult and stubborn breed to train.
Are Huskies easy or hard to train?
Huskies are not easy to train and will challenge first-time dog owners. The reason for this is in the breed history – Huskies were bred to pull sleds in harnesses over long distances. The breed was not developed to work closely with their owner. Instead, they were bred for endurance and athletic ability.
Are Huskies easy to look after?
Huskies really don't cope well on their own and ideally need a home where someone is around all the time to keep them company. The breed is known for suffering from separation anxiety so they may not even cope with very short periods alone.
Why you shouldn't get a Husky?
It starts biting, escaping, digging holes, chasing and killing anything that runs (huskies do have a high prey drive). Most importantly, it can turn aggressive if the owner is not strong and wise enough to know how to handle this breed.
