Are Huskies really that hard to train? Yes, Huskies are hard to train. In my career as a dog trainer I have seen many dog owners that were frustrated by their Husky’s independence, prey drive and lack of interest in training.

Can Huskies be trained to be aggressive?

Are Huskies good for first time owners?

They are extremely difficult to train, so first-time dog owners or timid people should consider other breeds. Huskies fit best with confident, experienced dog owners who set rules and deliver consistency.

At what age do Huskies calm down?

Your Husky probably won’t begin to calm down until they are about 6-12 months, although this can vary due to their high energy levels. Most Huskies tend to calm down as they reach adulthood, but if you can train your Husky to be calm, this may happen a lot sooner.

Are female Huskies calmer than males?

Female Huskies are calmer; thus, you won’t have any problem training them. Male Huskies are stubborn and immature, but they are also brilliant dogs that can master all training lessons!

Why do Huskies growl?

Dominant aggression usually shows itself very early on in a dogs life, from as young as a couple of months old. The pup may growl when you get too close to its food bowl or try to take a toy off of him. If this behaviour isn’t corrected quickly, then its very likely to get worse as the dog gets older.

How do I get my Husky to shut up?
