USMCSergeant Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hello my name is Keena, and I live in central NC. I just adopted a 1 year old male siberian husky about a week ago. I found this site doing research on my dog before I picked him up, and I've lurked around here awhile. I decided to join when his behavior suddenly changed, I will post another thread about that in the behavior section. Here are some pics.

sutsibe Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi, Keena and Tyson and ! Tyson is a handsome guy! Post away with your questions, and we'll do our best to help out... Did you get him from a Siberian rescue group? If so, they might be another and closer resource for you to get some hands-on help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCSergeant Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I just posted the problem in the behavior section. It is sudden aggressiveness. showing teeth, growling. The first 4-5 days he was so hyper and typical loving husky. Now my wife is scared and I hope this is something that can be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCSergeant Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Aggression? Wow now THAT'S a problem but guess what? It can be fixed! I'll search 4 ur post in the behavior section and show u wha u can do, 'kay? Tyson is a handsome husky btw Thanks I really hope so. I think he's upset that my female chow is allowed inside the house and he's in the garage alone. That started today, and that's when this behavior started. I have been painting and remodeling and the dogs couldn't be inside with all those hazardous materials laying about. I'll just move the chow in the garage with him and I think that will do the trick, he doesn't enjoy being alone. Luckily our garage is insulated very well and stays very cool even in mid summer, and they will be allowed in the house some also. Hopefully that will do it.

mydiamond Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I can't find ur post where is it? btw RU really sure your dogs like each other? Chow is a dominant breed, husky is a dominant breed. If they're the same sex there are a lot of chances they will fight if left alone unsupervised. What about reading more on "how to be an alpha" in dog training websites? That should keep both of your dogs calm =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCSergeant Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 My chow is female and older.. around 5 years old. They are not together unsupervised. He is wanting to be dominant and she doesn't really care either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCSergeant Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I like it very much so far, lots of information and you guys have been so helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCSergeant Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I see now how it looks like they will be together unsupervised in the garage. Both dogs are crate trained, and when my wife or myself are not at home to watch them, they are in the crates. Which isn't a very long period of time with our work schedules. Usually someone is home or on the way home here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
