Huskies are not an aggressive or dangerous dog breed. They were not developed to guard or defend their property or owner. Unfortunately, plenty of preventable bite incidents happen every year in the USA.
Can Huskies get aggressive?
Huskies are fiercely loyal, intelligent, and affectionate dogs. As a general rule, Huskies aren't prone to aggression. However, aggressive behaviors are possible in all dogs, and these behaviors need to be corrected at the first sign of exerting dominance, becoming territorial, or tracking prey.
Why would a Husky be aggressive?
A dog's aggressive behavior toward another dog stems from not enough exposure to other dogs at an early age. If other dogs make your Siberian Husky nervous and agitated, he will lash out as a protective mechanism.
Do Husky bite their owners?
Huskies are hunting dogs and as puppies, they are likely to instinctively begin practicing their skills, which include biting. If you have a young Husky, he is likely primed to bite as soon as he gets excited. This kind of behavior is especially a problem if you have young kids in the house.
Do Huskies get aggressive with age?
Dominant aggression usually shows itself very early on in a dogs life, from as young as a couple of months old. The pup may growl when you get too close to its food bowl or try to take a toy off of him. If this behaviour isn't corrected quickly, then its very likely to get worse as the dog gets older.
