mrbrycel Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 If you train a husky not to pull when going on walks, will they never want to pull at all? Or would they just wait for your permission to pull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceybob Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 More sort of permission really. Aleu will pull if I give her a release command. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Darwin is currently on a Halti, to get him to walk nicely. We are slowly swapping to a normal semi slip. However when I take him out on my Bike with the WalkyDog atatchment he is in a Harness. He knows he's allowed to pull on the harness, but not on the normal collar.

Is that the best way to get them to know the difference? When I get my husky, I want to train him to walk without pulling, but when I'm on a skateboard, I want him to pull with all his might!

Rosemary Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 We have normal neck collars for vet visits and places where we need them to walk calmly (not that it is always successful ) and their harnesses for walking in the forest and on the beach - then they can pull as much as they like.

Staceybob Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I get Aleu to associate actual command pulling with her harness. I think thats the method most use. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbysowner Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 a husky will never lose its desire to pull! teach him/her how to heel and create a command for that. put them in a position where they naturally pull and create a command for that and they will pull on command.
