Hi from North Devon, England. I am now the proud owner of an 8 months old Siberian Husky. "Buddy" was a rescue from my local RSPCA centre. He has had an awful start in life, for the first 5 months he was locked in a single room then was taken to a rescue centre. He was then adopted for a week by a family who kept him in a crate constantly so he went back to the centre. Then I met him and after rigorous checks by the RSPCA I was able to take him home. He is adorable with a capital A. I've only had him for 5 days but already I could not imagine life without him. I am progressing with his training (he has not been trained at all) so any advice/tips would be gratefully received.

Welcome. Pics please! It looks like you might've tried attaching a pic, but it didn't come out. I'm sure if you peruse through the threads, you will find all sorts of goodies and tips on training. If you have specific questions, please ask away!

And Paw Paw's story was similar to yours. He was kept in a crate that was too small for him as he grew, and his back could touch the top. He learned how to kick the tray out of the bottom and then he chewed through the floor and wall while still inside his crate. If he went outside, he was tied to a tree and left out in the summer heat of Virginia. I got him a few days before he turned 8 months, and he's been taken care of ever since!

Having trouble with pics, but he is my avatar pic. I will post more when I have figured out how to do it!!
