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.

| I'm not sure if it is me or Blu that is overwhelmed! Blu has always been a high velocity husky (all of his 6 months) We just had him neutered 10 days ago and he has gone from normal wild to OMG wild! He is more aggressive than before, meaning, jumping up, snapping and not listening at all. What am I doing wrong? All and any advice is welcome. Thanks |

| 'Scuse me, and not making light of your problems - that's not a picture of a "high velocity husky" - that's the classic picture of two guy wondering where supper is!
Beautiful picture of a beautiful Husky! _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| I imagine he is probably bouncing back from the surgery and any time that he had off for resting is catching up with him in the need exercise department. Tighten down on him with discipline and training. Work his mind more and start getting him back to walking if you haven't already.
lol. yeah, he looks pretty chill in that picture, but maybe that's just the meds buzzing. _________________ |

| He was on heavy meds in that pictures He is usually like this >>>> He has not skipped a beat since (2) days after the surgery and the doctor drugged him. I did not actually agree but it was for his own good I know. I am working with him and discipline is what we are doing. I guess he is just having a moment. I love my baby Blu and would never get rid of him for any reason, I just wonder what to do. AL - If he was that chill all the time I would think he was not a Husky and would have to trade him for a real one Many thanks for the advice. Jenn - Thank you also for the advice and I really love the fact that this forum exists so people that are new to this breed have a place to come. |

| I agree with Jenn. Most likely he is wound up from having to be restricted after the surgery. |

| Six months old you say he gonna be a handful for a bit My first advice is enjoy the ride... it really goes by fast in the whole scheme of things. Short list? Be really consistent with him, it will pay off in spades. More specific questions, specific problem behaviors and we can give you some hints. He really is beautiful. |

| No need to sugar coat anything Jimmy, I love the personality you have. If I had ever owned a husky before I would have said the same thing It's great learning about this breed and am seriously thinking about getting a 2nd one when Blu is around 1 year old. I kind of feel like I have given birth to a 3rd son Blu is like a little (well not little but) hairy human |

I kind of feel like I have given birth to a 3rd son Blu is like a little (well not little but) hairy human I think that is one of the things I like best about the breed - they are like a perpetual 2 yr old (which is my ultimate favorite age in kids.) If I could have a permanent 2nd siberian, I would do so in a flash! When Archer comes to visit (and, thankfully, it is often and frequently days at a time) there is so much life with the two dogs. They are so utterly engaging both with us and each other. Never a dull moment! |

| Blu is gorgeous! I agree with the others in saying, he sounds like a typical six month old pup. Right now, if Banner isn't into something, my almost 2 year old son is and vice versa. They definitely keep you on your toes!
I got Banner when Loki turned about a year and I can say I love having the two. They keep each other entertained, and as Amy said, never a dull moment! |

- I agree wholeheartedly, Jimmy - I love the impudence, the sauciness...even if it means a 2:00AM woo woo woo, Mummy, I just want to play
That's been 4am every day for the past 3 months. We have been hiking until my bad knee stops bending and the entire way down the trails it's We had a discussion about what walking is versus trying to haul me down the path like a stuck sled. I don't need to tell you what the result was so far. I've got her hooked to my older akita who knows all trail commands so I just have to yell at my akita for thinking she can ignore me when the husky does and she'll hold her ground against the boinging. I'm working on an agility setup for the yard. |

| She's not so straight yet though. Boing right, boing left, boing forward, run into other dogs, boing right, run into other person, boing forward.... Today we discovered chipmunks. Did you know there are squirrels who don't run up trees?! Sometimes you can chase them all the way to their holes if you try really really hard. |
