Siberian Husky Potty Training

Siberian Husky potty training can seem really frustrating. But, once you understand the psychology of these beautiful dogs, you'll have a better idea of how to housebreak them.

First off, Siberian Huskies are incredibly intelligent. They do not respond well to screaming, yelling and other aggressive behaviors. If you scream and scream at a Siberian Husky who has just gone in the house, you're more likely to teach him that being around you means getting yelled at than to not potty in the house. They respond much, much better to gentler, "dog whisperer" type training.

As I mentioned in the last section, one of the mistakes you can make in Siberian Husky potty training is to be aggressive when correcting errors. However, there is a difference between aggressive and assertive. Don't be aggressive, but do be assertive. If you speak to your dog in a firm, gentle voice, she will listen to you without being frightened.

Never, ever rub your dog's nose in his mistake. I mean this literally, of course. It scares your dog and teaches him that going potty in general will get him in trouble, a great way to create neurotic behavior. And, do I really need to mention that it's cruel?

Be consistent. I can't stress this enough. I you aren't, your dog will be confused and will end up just as frustrated as you. This time while he's still learning is definitely tiring, but work through it and cut yourself and your dog some slack. Mistakes happen, but your Siberian Husky potty training will be successful with consistent training!
