Siberian Husky Puppy Playing Rough

RE: Siberian Husky Puppy Playing Rough Post by Aussie lover (1) | (05/03/2008) Contact If you tell him "no!" or "bad dog!" then discipline him with a time out or fill a soda can with coins and shake it, the noise frightens the dog . eventually the dog will learn rough house = loud, scary noise. then the dog will avoid rough housing so not to get scared with the loud noise.

He learned it from his siblings and his mother. That's just nature. You brought a large breed dog home with a 17 month old child. Do you think either of them will not be rough with the other? That's a beautiful puppy. If you can get through this rough period, those two will be best friends, but expect a few puppy bites. Start teaching the puppy not to bite by saying "NO BITE" firmly when you see him starting to do it. They need to be taught not to bite. That has always worked with my German Shepherds. If you are consisten with both the dog and the child, things should be ok.

I NEVER said anything about leaving my son alone with the puppy, and I would NEVER leave him alone with Max. I know better than to do that and I am ALWAYS right there when he is in the house. Max stays outside most of the time, he is a very good dog and I have never felt like he was a threat to anyone in our family. He is not a mean dog at all. He is just your typical puppy and likes to jump and tries to steal food. He is still young and trainable. All I was simply asking was advice on how to keep him from doing these things, especially with my son.

The brand of dog food Canadae was recommended by a vet for a dog that started being a little too rough.

No one likes a large untrained dog being rough and the way around that is training in the basics now. I totally agree that you should be right near you son so the dog isn't knocking him down and hurting him. My friend from the beginning held her son and helped him pat the dog. She would teach both of them to be gentle.

I would never leave my young son alone with any animal. What are you thinking? Little ones may play rough with an animal. Animals may "respond" in a way which might harm your son. This is not to say the dog is bad. We bought a husky malmute for our son; however he was 7 years old. They spent many fun moments and years together. I love animals, but I loved my son more. Please don't find yourself in a terrible situation which will haunt you for the rest of your life. Keep your child and puppy under close supervision.

When your pup get rough, get your little boy to stand up and turn his back to it. You do the same. I know 17 months is a bit young for this, but he'll learn to do it. Just turn your back on the pup, and he'll soon learn too. If he is ignored he will stop the behaviour that makes him ignored. When he stops praise him lots, and give a little treat. He'll soon see that it's better not to jump up and be rough, because the other way he gets told how good he is. All dogs just live to please their "Leader or Alpha dog", which is you and your family. Don't ever not do this if you start, because dogs need continuity. He'll learn and you'll have a nice well-behaved pup and dog. You can use this for many behaviours you want to change. Good luck, and enjoy your little ones, pup and boy. Best wishes, Leah from Australia.

They do have a problem with children and small animals. So you may need to do some training with the dog to teach him if he's being too rough.Huskys are known for not doing well with small children.

Since your son is so young, the only thing I know to do is keep him and the dog separated until the puppy outgrows this stage. I would still let your son around the dog supervised so he can form a bond with the new puppy. Report Spam or Abuse
