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. |

| Subject: Runaway Coby! Sun Sep 16, 2012 12:33 pm | |
| Ok so Coby got out of our house today..My son had accidently left our front door open slightly without us realising (hes only 2). Well as any husky would he bolted! Weve only had him a couple of weeks and were so worried as to where he had gone. My partner ran straight out in the car to go and find him and i stood helplessly on our street with a treat in my hand just in case he came back round. My partner eventually found him on a field just around the corner from our house, being fussed by a group of kids. He went and grabbed his collar to take him to the car to bring him home but when walking towards the car Coby went mad and tried to bite my partner. Would this be because he enjoyed the freedom he had from getting out? Well he is home safe and sound now, we were very lucky he wasnt taken/runover or just kept running other wise we would of never got him home |

| Was he aggressively biting or was it because he was hyped up and playing(which is not good either) |

| I'm so glad you got him back!! Some dogs don't like having their collars grabbed/held, so it could have been that, or just that he didn't like losing his freedom. He didn't actually bite, by the sounds of it? An air snap is just a way of showing displeasure at something. And huskies do know how to have tantrums when they don't get their own way |

| If he didn't contact skin, it was a warning, he probably didn't like the way his collar was grabbed.
So glad you got him back! |

| A lot of dogs don't like their collars grabbed, and since you guys are still "new" to him he was probably either scared or surprised.. |

| Jennet is right, when I got cali and Mika, both of my girls had a flashback to bad times and would go crazy if you grabbed the collar, gladly we are over that and it doesn't happen anymore. |

| He might have been freaked out too. In a new place with his people not there. He might have snapped just cause he was afraid. _________________ -Sara |

| Thanks alot everyone. Coby was very funny about people grabbing his collar but over this last week we've had no trouble. So maybe he thought my partner was going to hurt him like a past time. Thank you to you all. I just wanted to chat about it, its scary knowing your beloved dog might not come back. Another scary thought was that Mia could of gone too, she followed him to the front door but didn't follow him out through the door. Just want to make people more aware, I know people who have huskies and let them off the lead, I think if it wasn't for the kids on the field fussing coby he would of just kept running! |
