shadow01 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 From my experiance it can be a lovely husky trait that just needs some patients with lead training to help with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 mine do it aswell not sure how to correct it tho - the more lead they have the easier it is tho lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 He loves to sniff, it's a dog thing Two choices. 1. work with him to walk to heel. there have been many threads about loose lead training. 2. get a longer lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Kita likes to J-Walk occasionally, though she's usually on her flexi, but her normal lead is just about long enugh that I dnt trip over her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<3Jess<3 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Haha don't know how to stop it but Bella does this 24/7 even when she isn't on the lead...Lol thinking she is making sure she sniffs everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Glala does the same. She is always very inpatient, especially since Dana walks so slowly. She runs from the left, to the right. Sniffs a bit and runs back to the other side. Since I walk with two I always try to promote walking them on their own side. And if they don't, I just shorten the leash a bit so she can't cross to the other side until she calms down a bit Giving them more lead would only make me get strangled in their leashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard-Valli Huskies Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 My dewie walks like a Yo-Yo, ...she walks to end of her lead then waits for me to catch up then goes to the end again and waits for me to catch up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
