My name is Jack and I have just rescued my very first Husky! His name is Kilo and so far, he can't stop moving! I recently had to put my Rottweiler down due to unforeseen circumstances, and decided to open my house again to another dog. I always rescue or adopt from shelters. Never from a breeder. Just my personal preference. So I was browsing a site that many people use to exchange many different things and stumbled upon Kilo. As soon as I saw his face, I had to have him.

I've had Pitbulls in the past, in which share similar traits such as intelligence and energy, so I was prepared for that. But it would be great if some of you could share some Husky secrets that I might not know about. I've tried google-ing the past half hour but the results are what I already know about training.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Jack and Kilo

Welcome Jack and Kilo  

My huskies never stop moving Just remember a tired husky is a good husky. You will find lots of useful information on here as well as some great people! Look forward to seeing more pictures!

Hello and welcome! There are a lot of great tips on the board on how to care for your new family member. Lots of walks, play, and exercise!

Hm. Husky tips... The one thing I can say is to expect a lot more give and take with a husky, and expect to have to work to earn his love and trust. Not all of them give loyalty and affection easily, but eventually they will, and its a pretty amazing experience when they do. Owning a husky is more like a partnership than any other dogs I've had vs. sporting dogs that love everybody. Also, be ready/willing to laugh, most huskies have a great sense of humor.

I second this, probably the most used saying on here is "a tired husky is a good husky" and it's the truth! Welcome to the husky family

Welcome...Kilo is a good looker!!

Welcome!

As said above, keep him tired and you'll be happy! Also, I dont know if this applies to all huskies or just ones I've been around, but don't expect to get the "come" command down quick. Jasper knows it but it usually comes down to if he really wants to or not. I find that`s where he most differs from other breeds I`ve had experience with.

" agreed " a tired husky is a good husky. Kilo is very handsome!!

Hi there and welcome!  

Kilo is very handsome and you'll definitely learn a lot through this forum.

Thanks for rescuing!

I never saw a rottie or pit talk back. I think talking back, recall, and escaping is biggest differences. Though when loki talks back he still listens I just hear about it. It makes us laugh. Oh and he never barks at mailman or people outside. I have only seen talking back so far.

Oops, just posted something in the wrong thread lol.

Welcome good looking pup you got.

Here he is. Looking stoned.
