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.

Hi guys, my 2mo. old puppy named Darla, keeps on biting things even my own foot. Another issue is she never stops barking whenever I leave her. Do you have any ideas/suggestions to stop her from doing those actions? Sad

Sounds like a puppy to me!
I hope you did your research!

Huskies are VERY high energy and Very vocal!

When Shelby was a pup she LOVED to chew! So we would get a small towel wet, freeze it, and give it to her. It would numb her gums so they didn't hurt her while her teeth came in.

As for the barking and talking. . . sometimes ignoring the noise works. If you constantly talk to them or tell them to be quiet or to shush, you are only giving them attention and reinforcing their habit.

For the biting, I'd use a distract and redirect method of some sort. When she bites things she's not supposed to like your feet I'd issue a quick verbal correction, ignore the behavior and give her something more appropriate to chew on. The frozen towel is a good idea for teething pups, you can also give other chew toys or edible chews for her to sink her teeth into. Praise her for chewing things that she's supposed to chew on so she knows what she's supposed to do.

It's hard to correct behavior when you're not home to experience it. I'd definitely reward the silence whenever she gives it to you. How long are you leaving her when you do leave? Have you tried leaving a radio or TV on when you leave for background noise? Do you make sure to exercise/tire her out before leaving? Also do you leave her with something to occupy her mind while you are away, such as plenty of toys, a puzzle toy, a long lasting safe chew, or a filled frozen Kong?
