Husky training method 1:

1. Develop the ability of Huskies to move forward side by side close to the left side of the owner according to the owner's command, and maintain the correct posture of not leading or falling behind during the march.

2. During training, first clean the flat ground, let the husky wander for a while, hold the traction belt with your hand, call the husky's name to attract the husky's attention, and while giving the command "lean", use your left hand to pull the traction belt forward to Move forward at a faster pace, walking no less than 100 meters at a time.

3. When the Husky appears to be ahead or behind, immediately issue the "reliance" command to correct it, and pull the leash once to stimulate the Husky.

4. In order to form the conditioned reflex of the gesture, you can use your right hand to pull the leash and keep it longer. When the Husky is out of the correct position, while giving the "reliance" command, pat your left thigh with your left hand, and repeat this. After multiple trainings, conditioned reflexes can be formed.

5. When the Husky can follow the commands correctly without a leash, training in changing speeds and directions and training in more complex environments can be carried out. When the Huskies are stimulated by novel stimuli and do not follow the commands, they can issue commands with threatening tones. And use the stimulation of pulling the traction belt to correct it.

Husky training method two:

1. Small-scale training

First hold the leash with your left hand (20 to 30 centimeters away from the collar), then call the Husky's name to attract its attention, and issue the "Leave" command. At the same time, the dog owner steps forward with his left leg and pulls the leash Pull forward, move forward at a brisk pace, or make a big circle to follow the husky. The distance of each training trip is generally no less than 100 to 150 meters.

2. Pay attention to constantly correcting the Husky’s trajectory

If the Husky deviates or clings to its owner, pull the leash immediately to bring the Husky back to the correct position. After it corrects its position, it should be rewarded by saying "good" or patting it.

3. Let the Husky form a conditioned reflex

Dog owners should train in this way repeatedly until the husky forms a conditioned reflex to the command "reliance". On this basis, the Husky can be trained to establish a conditioned reflex for the "lean" gesture. The method is to make the Husky sit on the left side, holding the leash in the right hand and leaving the left hand empty.

4.Be careful not to follow the husky’s speed

When stopping the accompanying training, the "sit" command should be given, and the accompanying training should be completed by sitting on the left side. During training, the dog is mainly careful not to adapt to the Husky's speed. For example, when the Husky falls behind, the dog owner will also give the "reliance" command and pull the leash quickly to make the Husky go faster. At the same time, the owner will still move forward at the original speed.

Precautions for Husky accompanying training:

1. Food induction and appropriate encouragement

During the Husky accompanying training, attention should be paid to using food, objects, etc. to induce the Husky to move forward side by side with the dog owner. As long as the husky stays in the correct position according to the command, reward it. Such repeated training can also enable Huskies to form a conditioned reflex to the "reliance" command and gesture.

2. Avoid stepping on the husky by mistake

At the beginning of the training, the movements of the human and the husky are not coordinated with each other. The person training the husky should be careful not to step on the husky to prevent the husky from feeling fearful.

3. The traction belt must be used flexibly and with appropriate tightness

When correcting the Husky's position, the traction belt is only tightened momentarily. As soon as the Husky returns to the correct position, the traction belt should be relaxed immediately to prevent the Husky from feeling uncomfortable. If the Husky is ahead or deviating, and if it cannot be corrected by pulling the traction belt, you can correct it by turning.
