As your new husky puppy arrives to its new household, it’s an exciting time for everybody who wants to experience the new furry little creature in the house. Your cute fuzz ball is still very puzzled and relies on you – as the owner, and furthermore, as the leader – to make the right choices to make this occasion as painless as possible.

In addition, your choices will affect a lot more than just what type of food your puppy will eat – your choices will have a direct impact on your puppy’s entire life. That means your puppy’s temperament, personality, and well being is directly impacted by the choices you make for your puppy.

Just like you can’t assume a newborn child can learn everything by itself – your husky puppy will be learning everything from you and its surroundings; just like a baby! But since your puppy doesn’t think or speak like a human, it’s up to you to communicate with your husky puppy the right way by thinking like a dog.

Remember That You Are Your Puppy’s Best Trainer!

Think about it. How would your puppy know anything about living with humans? How can your puppy know what’s right and wrong? How would your puppy know it’s not right to bite and pee on the carpet? It’s entirely up to you to teach and train your husky the right way to do things – by what’s called positive reinforcement.

Your husky puppy doesn’t think like humans do. If you don’t catch your husky puppy in the act, yelling or hitting (which you should never do) will only confuse your furball and complicate further training. When you yell at your puppy and punish it for whatever you think you’re punishing it for – the puppy will think, yelling means I’m in trouble – so next time you call your puppy to eat he will run away from you.

Punishments should almost never be given out; instead, use the most proper method of dog training – the positive reinforcement method. Just like you could catch your puppy in the act (which you rarely can) and try to teach him what is wrong, you should teach your puppy what is right and reward him greatly for it.

Never Punish Your Puppy For Doing Something Wrong!

This will ultimately eliminate all the negative aspects. For example, imagine a scenario where your puppy is crying and barking because it wants attention (and not to go to the bathroom, because that’s different). You, as a smart puppy trainer, should know that you shouldn’t give your puppy attention when it barks and cries because it will ultimately associate barking with getting attention. So next time your puppy wants attention, it will start barking knowing you will come running. Instead, ignore your husky puppy until he stops barking completely – only then you can give your husky puppy attention, treats, and praise.

You can eliminate the barking problem altogether by training your puppy to bark on command. When you reward your husky puppy as he barks on command, your puppy will understand that it’s only good to bark when you say so – ultimately preventing your puppy from barking altogether unless you tell him to.

Positive reinforcement is the only method we approve of on this website, and do not recommend any other training methods. This is, in a nutshell, the tip of an iceberg of training your husky puppy. While there are many aspects to it, we offer many resources such as reviewed books, recommended stores, and tips that will help you strengthen your bond with your husky puppy.
