Siberian Huskies need a premium quality dog food that is formulated for their age and level of activity. To avoid the risk of overeating and unhealthy weight gain it is suggested to stick to a feeding schedule, rather than free feeding. Meal portions should also be made appropriate for the dog’s age and level of activity. Make sure that they always have access to clean drinking water to make sure they can stay properly hydrated.

Siberian Huskies do a great job of keeping themselves clean most of the time, so only occasional bathing is needed unless they are getting ready for a conformation dog show. Weekly brushing will help to keep their coat free of any debris and loose hairs. Their undercoat will shed twice a year during transitional seasons. During this time they should be regularly raked with a pin brush or a metal comb to keep up with the increase in shed. Check their ears each week for any dirt and waxy buildup. Wipe the ears down with either a damp cloth or a dog ear cleaning solution to avoid the risk of ear infection. Regularly trimming their nails will help them to avoid injury and stay comfortable as they run and play. Be sure to brush their teeth several times per week, if not daily, to help avoid tooth or gum problems.

The Siberian Husky was bred to handle a heavy workload and has plenty of energy to burn. These dogs need a lot of daily exercise to stay happy and fit. These dogs are happiest when they have a job to perform that can give them both the mental and physical stimulation they crave. Several long jogs and some time to run around an enclosed area every day can also do the trick if they are not given a job to do. Finding time to spend playing with your Siberian Husky will also be important. These intelligent dogs will appreciate the opportunity to use their heads as well as the time well spent with their favorite people. Rally, agility and obedience events are just a few other great ways to help keep your Siberian Husky feeling fit and fine. Be sure to keep your dog on a leash or a lead whenever they are not in a secure space, such as a well fenced yard or indoors.

Siberian Huskies are bright and loyal dogs who love the company of their families. They can act stubborn at times, but for the most part they are looking to please their owners. Dedication, and a firm but gentle hand in training will help you get through to your Siberian Husky. Keeping training sessions light and playful will also help to keep them engaged and wanting to do well. Making sure that your Siberian Husky is getting the daily exercise they need will play an important role in their behavior. If they are not getting the workout they need each day, they can become restless and ill tempered. Make sure they are getting the activity they need so that they are in a good mood for training. Treats can also be used as an incentive for your Siberian Husky, just be mindful that you do not overfeed them. These dogs have a habit of digging, which can be nearly impossible to break. If you are hoping to save most of your yard from being dug up, it is easier to train them from early on to simply dig in one spot where they are allowed to. This will give them the opportunity to scratch that instinctual itch, without destroying your entire lawn.
