Walking on leash

The Handsome Boy is about 3. When I walk him, he's on a retractable leash. I do this because he absolutely loves to run and galavant around, and I want to let him. The challenge is that unless I use a prong collar (which I have no problem with) he will yank on the leash, particularly when he's wearing a harness. Like, when he's got the harness on, if he's excited, he'll run full speed until he hits the end of the leash, and the harness kind of spins him around in the air. He thinks it's tons of fun. I don't mind. My partner hates it.

We've been discussing working on getting him to walk on a regular, much shorter leash, and training him to heel and walk along like a normal dog, not an insane lunatic. Question: has anyone actually accomplished this with a Husky? He's so independent, and loves to run so much, I'm wondering if it's pointless to try to get him to trot along by my side for, say 3 miles.

Anyone actually done this? With a Husky?

I have a foster husky with a chihuahua best friend

If this isn’t allowed please delete and accept my apologies. This is Holly and Hank, an unusual bonded pair. Holly is estimated to be 13 and Hank we believe is around 9. I learned about them in December. Their owners had to go into assisted living and these 2 were initially brought to a high kill shelter, but the rescue pulled them pretty quickly. They did end up boarding at a vet for about a month because there were no fosters available. I have 4 large dogs of my own but when I found out about them, I just couldn’t let them sit there any longer and Christmas was almost here. The thought of these two still sitting at the vet it small cages, no runs available, broke my heart. I was told they would be going to a sanctuary in Wisconsin in January. However, Holly gets persnickety around new dogs. Not angry or overly aggressive, but whenever my dogs tried to meet her, she’d snap at them to back up. This is the first husky I have fostered and the only experience I have had to the prior to this was from when I was a vet tech. Because I couldn’t get video of her playing with other dogs, the sanctuary said they couldn’t take her, and I don’t want to separate her and little Hank.

So far, anyone who wants Holly doesn’t want Hank, and anyone who wants Hank doesn’t want Holly. I’m not willing to separate them. I thought I would share these two here with you guys. Perhaps there is a family out there who are both Husky people and chihuahua people.

They are safe and loved here as long as is needed. I can’t foster anyone else in need until these guys get their forever home and the rescue is overwhelmed so I would love to be able to help more soon.

Kibble Suggestions for Adult Husky

Luffy here will be an year old in a week and am planning to transition him from puppy food to adult food per my vet recommendation.

He currently is on Diamond naturals puppy food Lamb formula with shredded chicken breast/Fresh Pet chicken recipe as topper. He honestly east his food nly for the added topper.

Was looking at 5 rated foods from DogFoodAdvisor for Husky which has DiamondNaturals All stage recipe as a 5 star rated. It is insanely cheap compared to the other 5 rated options like Orijen/Annamaet/Fresh food options. Anyone here have any experience with DiamondNaturals All Life stage recipe?

Are there any good suggestions which will not break the bank like the fresh/Sundays/Unkibble ones. They all cost ~350-400 per month. I really do not bother with grains/no grains. Too many articles from both sides. He will still be getting his toppers on his food so I don't think he cares which kibble I use.

Also, I have been giving him Large breed formula. Should he still continue with Large breed food option?

Grooming toe beans

When it comes to grooming, cutting the hair under the pads is the worst part 😫 Anyone else hate this part?

Fun in the sun

I have a few local restaurants with patios that allow dogs to join, so my girl Zaria joined me for dinner and of course pets from a bunch of other people sitting out there.

Q: How do you train a husky to behave around other dogs?

Context: I rescued a stray husky bout a year ago. She is socialized and fine going to doggy daycares and loves our other golden retriever. However, when I take her to public places to walk on leash she becomes such an embarrassment and menace to society. She howls and whines and pulls and jumps which looks very aggressive at worst and melodramatic at the best, even though reality is she just wants to play and not fight or protect. My golden could care less about other dogs and is only interested in going belly up for strangers, my husky could care less about hoomans and only wants to play with dogs and chase cats.

Any serious training or help here as our other dog is mostly trained and doesn’t have that bad habit.

Recommendations for deshedding shampoo

Looking to get my huskies winter undercoat out and the shampoo that my local was uses just isn’t cutting it. I saw these (pic attached) and that they had great reviews but I’m not comfortable using products I haven’t personally used or have had someone close to me use it. Has anyone used the Furminator shampoo/conditioner or have any recommendations for shampoo that can help get the hair off her. Also comb recommendations also would be great, I just use a standard comb you buy for yourself because my husky hates the wire combs or deshedding ones.

What are some ways I can ensure my husky's comfort during the summer?

I live in the US, near Chicago. Our summers can get pretty hot on some days, with the average being in the 80's, but sometimes the temps hit above 90°'s (Fahrenheit).

This is my first time owning a Husky. I've had her since October of last year so we have yet to experience a summer together. I know huskies don't like the heat, so what are some ways I can help make it easier for her while she's outside? My son and I like being outside when the weather is warm. Whether it's us enjoying the weather in the backyard, us going on walks on the trails by moms house, or going to the beach. Those are the 3 main things we enjoy doing. What are some things I should do to make sure my husky is comfortable while on these outings with us? And what are some things I SHOULDNT do?
