Hello. I meant to actually post something a long time ago (Decemberish) when I first took my puppy, Kato, home. However; puppy's and work are demanding, so I'm just now getting to it.....Born Oct. 10th 2013, Kato has been a pretty amazing pup. Just now entering the total destruction phase, and he can open doors and take apart crates...looks like it's going to be a fun time with this pup. I've been thanking god for zip-ties these past few weeks.


He's very intelligent, and has learned every command I've tried to teach except, "Come". -- Anyone have any useful tips for recalling your husky?

Hi there and welcome!   

He's a great looking pup. As for the recall command "come," huskies are notorious for being very independent and stubborn. Therefore, they tend to be very bad at recall and are not reliable off leash.

There are some people who have had success with it, through lots of intensive training (I'm not one of them lol). But I think it's always good to work on it as much as possible even if they'll never be reliable off leash. You can always train with really long leads, and really high value treats and lots of praise.

Good luck with your pup, and hope you share more pictures.
