Siberian Huskies have lived so long with mankind, that they are very human in their reasoning and personalities. They are extremely intelligent, problem-solving dogs that are quieter and more serious than other dog breeds. They still feel the pull of the wild strongly, and are apt to often be distracted or seem to be ignoring you. These are not dogs that will fall all over you lovingly at first sight. They will probably not be very impressed by you during your first meeting. You have to earn the love of a Siberian Husky.
It is generally thought that Siberian Huskies take longer to train than many other breeds of dog not because they are incapable of learning, but they won't waste their energies if they think your commands are pointless. The joke among Siberian Husky owners is that when you teach a Husky a command, he'll immediately set about thinking of a better way to do it. Don't be afraid or shy to get professional help in training a Husky.
You need to be aware of some Siberian Husky information before you bring one of these magnificent dogs home. They shed. They do very badly in hot, humid climates. They do very badly with the first time dog owner. They do very badly with timid people or the physically impaired. These dogs do not make good watchdogs, although they do bark on occasion. These dogs like to dig in your yard, so get used to it.
Siberian Huskies were bred to pull heavy sleds across ice and snow for hours at a stretch. Consequentially, they need plenty of exercise and at least a half hour walk every day in order to be anywhere near trainable. They need toys and a purpose to life so they do not get bored. Heaven help you if your Siberian Husky gets bored. They are escape artists and will destroy doors to get outside and find something to do.
One interesting smell seems to trigger the call of the wild in them and they are off, ignoring you. You need some amount of physical strength to keep up with Siberian Huskies.
Even though all dogs take their own time in learning anything, it generally is agreed in reliable breed information sources that Siberian Huskies take longer to train than most dogs. You must act confidently and speak firmly when giving commands in order to get their attention. Siberian Huskies will quickly bully a timid person, because they can see that a timid person does not deserve to lead a dog pack.
In the cult movie classic, The Lost Boys, there is a beautiful Siberian Husky named Nanook. Nanook protects his young (and stupid) master from vampires.
The moviegoer learns later that the young, stupid master is quite a nice guy and is concerned for not only destroying all vampires, but taking care of his dog. And they showed Nanook enjoying a big back yard as well as living in a house. That is a good way to think of the personality of a Siberian Husky.
