Owner guide - Make your Husky happy by realizing his or her limits as a dog

Make your Siberian Husky happy by realizing his or her limits as a dog. Siberian Husky have their own unique way of thinking about the world, and that doesn't always include the types of "training" other dogs relish in. Sure, a Siberian Husky is able to walk 300 miles in the snow, but fetch a stick that's thrown out into a pond? Maybe not. Mush a sled full of diphtheria serum through a blizzard in order to save a small town? Of course. Learn how to bark, roll over, shake on command? Maybe later. Siberian Husky don't always think "pet tricks" are worth the time or effort. They'd rather go take a nap and wait for it to snow. Don't get upset if your Siberian Husky doesn't seem particularly well-trained or obedient. Just roll with it.
