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. |

| My husky Kobuk pretty much hates every one but me. I continue to introduce him to new people in positive situations, but he still is very nervous and sometimes irritated whenever he sees anyone but me and will sometimes try to run away if I have a guest over in the house. Does any one have any suggestions of what I can do to get him over his stranger anxiety? |

| When people come over try not to give him any attention. Let all the positive attention and goodies come from the guests. Have them toss treats to him but avoid making eye contact or approaching him head on. If they'd like they can sit facing away from him holding a treat and see if he'll approach them.
Try not to overload him though especially if he's been shutting down or becoming too nervous to really function. You may want to crate him in a room around where you are so he can still hear everyone and then bring him out for a few minutes, let him get treats from everyone and put him back in the crate. Or you can have him in a gated off area.
Each dog is different and it really depends on how he's acting with people when they come over. Growling/barking, submissive peeing, running away, barking and running away ect. ect. ect. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| Thanks Christina, I'll give that a whirl... Its just so wierd. I got Buk from a musher who had too many dogs and needed to get rid of one. He said the reason he got this one was because he was too friendly and would pull the team off course to meet any stranger or dog that came along the trail. I've finally got him to play with other dogs now, but the stranger thing definitely needs some serious work.
Thanks again... |
