The Lowdown on Siberian Husky Problems

  • 26/11/2010

When you own a Siberian Husky you need to be aware of possible issues as any dog owner should be aware of. Many of the Siberian Husky problems you will encounter are a result of their built in need to be busy and working and while that can lead to problems it can also be a good thing as well. All you need to do is keep track of your dog's behavior and know what the warning signs are of prospective Siberian Husky problems and then you should be alright.

The Siberian Husky loves to run and while this is a great feature for a hunting dog or a racing dog it can be a problem with a family dog. You need to take the time to teach your Siberian Husky that there is a time for running and a time to relax but the only thing that makes that work is if you do give your dog time to run each and every day.

You are going to want to take the time to teach your Siberian Husky social skills with other people and animals because one of the big Siberian Husky problems is that the dog can get very protective of its human family and become a less that hospitable host to strangers. They were bred to be working dogs so they always need a task to do and it is your job as the responsible owner to teach them that guarding the family at all times does not need to be one of their tasks. A Siberian Husky on guard can be a very dangerous animal.

The Husky is a direct relative to the wolf so, rather than spending their time and energy barking, the Husky likes to howl a lot. This can be especially troublesome when your Husky starts to get all the other dogs in the neighborhood howling as well. It is a built in behavior that you will never be able to completely suppress but obedience training can help get it under control.

Just like any other breed of dog the Siberian Husky has its share of medical issues as well. Some of the more common Siberian Husky problems that your vet can help with are things like bone disorders that make it very painful for the dog to walk or move. Your Husky is also known to develop digestive problems that can make life miserable for them and for you. There is also the chance of eye infections that, if not treated, can lead to other serious medical conditions. Make sure you get your Husky to the vet regularly and keep them healthy.

A Siberian Husky is a hard working and active dog that is a direct relative to the wild wolf so you can imagine that their instincts can sometimes be a problem. But they are also very loyal dogs and if you take the time to develop a good relationship with your Husky then you can work out any Siberian Husky problems that may come up.
