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.

got layla a nice big bed for christmas, and she loves it, but mayb a bit too much.

when she is inside and we need to get her outside , we will pet her a bit the gently grab her collar to guide her out. the problem is a few times she has growled and snapped at me when i even got close to her. (never bites but will still scare u a bit)
not sure if its being possesive of the bed or she knows its time to go out and doesnt want to go. (when we leave the house or go to bed she goes outside)

anyone else have this problem and have suggestions?

she has just recently started learning the correct inside behavior and is getting even better, but still acts like a toddler so time is spent 50/50 inside and out

Well, can you let us know her age?

Also, IMO- I wouldn't recommend going and pulling her collar. Can you work with treats to get her to "come" to you and ask her, wanna go potty?. Cali is trained, not by me, to get up to go outside when you ask her if she wants to go potty.

Good luck..you need to make stuff you want her to do, somehow be fun and good to her...tugging on collar isn't going to work though.

BTW i am no husky expert

she 2 will b 3 in may, no tugging on the collar . usually we can say "ouside and she'l go out. she is just hard headed like any husky and she needs to be guided out from time to time. this is just a new thing she started about the time we got her the bed

They can be very very stubborn. My foster, 4 y/o, is def a very stubborn. Once I got her figured out, things got a lot easier around here.

Try to remove the bed for a day and see if she still does it.

Might need to bump up the NILIF training for a little while. Sometimes Kale gets grabby with toys and I have to make him work for them for a week or two, kinda resets him.
