Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I've owned dogs in the past but since this is my first husky, I just wanted to ask you guys if I've giving my dog enough exercise.


  • Each morning he gets a 45 minute walk when I wake up and about 15 minutes of play time before I go to work.


  • After work we play for another 30 minutes in the yard.


  • Another walk in the evening for 45 minutes.



Right now he seems pretty happy, but I'm just curious if he should be getting more.

If he isn't destructive and seems content, then that's probably plenty.

Some will need more exercise than that, but if that works for him, then that's probably fine!

If he is having trouble walking besides you or pulling i would advise jogging a few times just to mix up things for him and for you. Doing different things a few days a week surprises his body and you could cut half the time if youre busy. But anyways, that seems about fine , that is, if he is calm after that (:

I've tried jogging with him at which point he immediately goes into "play" mode and starts jumping up and chewing on the leash. Sad
