    Toddlers...help!

    My Niece did the same thing with her son when he threw screaming tantrums while out she'd do the same thing. He would stop and then be trying to "shush" her, looking around at people all embarrassed. However I appreciate you can't do that in the middle of the road. Good luck

    Disgrace

    Although I'm a southerner now, I grew up in Rochdale and spent many hours as a kid roaming the hills, fields and surrounding countryside.

    You are quite right to rant Lee. That is both disgusting and dangerous.
  12. Sid. . . Do you do any kind of WYDWL harness or do we still need to go through Stacey ??
  13. That is brilliant. Thanks for the link
  14. LIKE them a LOT Sid. Will chat to Kells but will probably be ordering 3 in the very near future.
  15. LOL sorry linda I've never used that type of harness so didn't notice the lack of ring. Hopefully Sid can sort it for you
  16. Sooo, whats wrong with it ? Why is it useless?
  17. 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.
