Welcome to the forum.
If you haven't already done so, please do an introduction in the, , ,erm, , Introductions section.
Then we can get to know you and your pooch a little better.
As Dave (Mazz) said this is a topic which we feel very strongly about.
A Husky has a very strong prey drive. Let me clarify this for you though.
Most people will assume that "prey drive" is the need to chase and hunt small animals for food.
In the case of Huskies it's the need to chase ANYTHING
They are very curious dogs and so if they are off lead and see something interesting they will go an look at it.
So you're out with pooch off lead in the local park, Pooch sees a plastic bag being shunted around by the breeze,
Runs over to have a look, Then a hundred feet away there is a leaf tumbling in the wind, runs over to look,
Pooch is now a couple of hundred feet away from you you call him back but. . . .
There is a human walking through the park (Huskies love meeting new humans) runs over to say hello.
Then in the distance there is a dog off lead running around, yay lets go play.
You're now yelling and running like crazy, your dog is dissapearing into the distance.
New dog snaps at husky so he shies away but sees people walking outside the park . . .
Ooooooh, new people runs off to meet them
Through the gate and out of the park.
A car honks it's horn Husky is scared by the sound and runs.
By the time you get to the gate (assuming you were close enough to see him go through it)
He's a mile away, still running and lost on the streets.
Prey drive is the NEED to chase and go look at anything.
Huskies no matter how well trained will only follow your instructions if they want to.
Unlike your GSD's, who will train for superb recall, I have a White GSD and have first hand experience in the difference in
their response to commands.
My GSD Echo can be let off to run anywhere , Huskies Never unless it's in a fully enclosed safe area.
