Thanks for all your responses! Its a great help. We really do want what is best for our boy, so its given me a bit if food for thought! x

He was crate trained as a puppy. We just didn't like the thought of him being locked up in a crate all day long, so started letting him out. Plus he was whinning a lot whilst he was in it, we kept getting complaints from the neighbours! I would love to get another dog for him to be with, but our house just isn't big enough for another. The back garden is fenced, however I have found him on the shed roof twice!! So I couldn't really trust him all day. I just don't know what to do for the best.

Hi All, I really need some help and advice. I have a beautiful Siberian Husky called Bo. I am having some problems at the moment with regards to his behaviour, that said it isn't so much hes behaviour that is the problem, more so he's seperation anxiety. My partner and I have full time jobs, which means that we are away from the house a lot. Bo has previously been quite destructive when being left alone (we have been through 6 dinning room chairs, countless rugs, a least 5 dog beds, an arm chair, post etc). We now keep him in the kitchen whilst we are out. But we have had some complaints from the neighbours about the noise he is making. We have been coming home to find that the kitchen doors are scratched to pieces, so we set up a camera to see what happens when we are out. The results were difficult to watch. My poor boy is just desperate for company, he isn't being destructive purposly, he is jumping up trying to get out and looking for attention. His boredom and lonliness is clear to see and that is our fault. He gets walked daily, but the exercise isn't enough to keep him content when we aren't at home. I am now seriously considering rehoming him, because I cannot stand to see him so unhappy. It breaks my heart even having to think about it but I feel he's happiness should come first. Am I doing the right thing even contemplating finding him a new home? He is such a lovely dog and would be a fantastic addition to any husky loving family. I'm just not sure that a) I would be doing the right thing or whether there is anything else I can do to avoid having to do that? Please can I have some advice?!

Is his mum Rosebud? Did you buy him from a lady called Sandra?

I think I might have the brother of your husky guard dog lol. Did you get him in Dagenham?

Hiya,you may be able to help me as you also picked up your pup early. Ive found that over the last few days Bo is being particularly aggresive. Especially when he is being told off. He has started growling and snapping at me if I so much as take a sock out of his mouth. I dont want him to be aggresive and i've tried pretending it hurts and ignoring him, also holding his jaw & replacing whatever he is biting with a toy. He also seems to be panting an awful lot today? Any ideas?

Haha! Trust me there was some nights at the beginning I would have let you have him! But i love him too much! He is lovely but i cant wait to get him out - i think he's a bit bored of being indoors! Only a couple of weeks to go yay!!! I see you have 3 lovely huskies! I bet they keep you busy?!

Hiya! Well we picked him up at 5 weeks because his mum was so ill and the pups were no longer feeding off her. So he was very young to be away. He seems to have settled straight in though - but he has been hard work! The nights were not Good at first, but he now sleeps right through. Toilet trainin seems to be hit & miss. He hasnt had his injections so we're using training pads. Some days he is brilliant but on the odd day he ignores them altogether! Im sure we'll Get there! He just has a thing for biting everything at the mo! Your husky is gorgeous - is she well behaved?

I'm starting to get the feeling that these doggies are very mischeivious! He is very smart but can be very stubborn. We have managed to get him to sit, give his paw and lay down so far.... but I hav a feeling thats the easy stuff. Thanks for the advice.

Haha!! Good name! I thought it was unique....! Thanks for the info. Where do I find the member map?

Hi, thanks - he is gorgeous!! He's 7 weeks old today and he's name is Bo. Have you got just the one husky?

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum. Picked up my baby husky on Christmas Eve. He had to leave he's mum early due to her illness from feeding the big litter. He's doing well and is learning new tricks on a daily basis. My boyfriend and I couldn't be happier with him. Can't wait for him to have he's injections so we can start taking him out. We're new to the husky breed, so any tips and advice would be welcomed. From what I've seen so far, the site is great!

Thanks for the info. Where does everyone camp/stay?

Thank you. I think maybe Bo will still be a bit young for this one, so its something we will keep in mind for next year. Sounds like a really good idea though. Hopefully we will have him all trained up in time for the next camp.
