Siberian Husky Training

Do you have a Siberian Husky that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Siberian Huskies are beautiful, independent sled dogs bred to run for hours in harsh conditions. They're friendly and pack-oriented, but their working heritage means they have a strong will, a need to run, and a casual attitude towards obedience.

Common Siberian Husky traits and training needs

• Born to run — extreme exercise needs and a Houdini-like ability to escape enclosures
• Recall is notoriously difficult — they were bred to run, not come back
• Prone to digging, howling, and destructive behaviour when under-exercised
• Independent and stubborn — trained recall is a lifelong work in progress
• Can be predatory towards small animals, including cats and small dogs
• Pulls on lead with incredible strength and determination

Husky owners learn quickly that their dog was built for a job most of us can't provide. If your Husky has escaped from enclosures you thought were secure, howls instead of barks, digs craters in the yard, or treats recall as a casual suggestion — welcome to Husky life. Their friendly, playful nature is a joy, but living with a Husky means accepting their independent spirit and working with it, not against it.
