Husky Dog Off Leash Training. The Trick! Helpful for any dog

Due to her history Ziva is not the most confident Husky. Give her a thumb up or tell her how well she is doing off leash! I'm sure she will appreciate that! ;-) Ziva is niet de meest zelfverzekerde Husky. Met haar geschiedenis is dat ook niet zo verwonderlijk. Geef haar een duimpje of laat haar hier weten hoe goed ze het doet. Ik weet zeker dat ze dat fijn zal vinden! ;-)

You have obviously seen that your relationship is a constant negotiation and not a power play. Happy dogs! Happy human companion.

I read a story about a man with a strong bond with his husky. Always came back. He trusted him completely. Then while walking in the woods, it saw a moose. He never saw his dog again.

I let my husky off leash daily in front of our house. Almost always responds to me. I think the best thing you can do with your husky is follow a routine and keep a schedule. It makes it easier if you follow the same routine off leash as you did when they were leashed. Walk to the same locations. Let him go pee in the same spots. I tell him "no" when I don't want him to go too far... and he turns around and comes back. He's doesn't go after birds, squirrels, rabbits, or ducks and they're plentiful in our yard. He's even at the point where kids go by or people will walk their dogs past our house and Navajo will just sit and watch them.

The main thing to success is bonding properly with your dog(s) all my dogs have been rescue over 2-3years old and all have been off lead, the biggest factor in training a husky is the owners temperament, if you are calm so will your dog be calm, if you are excitable or panicky, so will your dog. If your dog doesn’t trust you, it’s not going to listen. My dogs have been or are on the lead only 5% of the time I’m out, I’m lucky in that I have two large parks with woods very close by but the dogs have always been more worried about loosing me than I have been of loosing them. The more distractions there are the better it is for training, training with no distractions will catch you of guard when those distractions appear.

Unfortunately we could never train our Husky off the leash, despite several rounds of obedience training and a real commitment to train her properly. She was absolutely wonderful in every other piece of training - the most well behaved and sweetest dog ever. However, even after being 13 years old and surviving two rounds of cancer (clearly getting old and weak) she never “chilled out” with the leash. One time she got off-leash and did the exact same thing she would do as a puppy. Bolt as fast as possible. No prey necessary. Nobody understands that sinking feeling in your heart and devastation when your husky starts running away. You don’t think you’ll ever see them again. And you absolutely won’t catch them unless they WANT to be caught. The only good part is that they’re very good with retracing their steps or coming back home when lost.

It takes a special person to be a good Husky owner. I feel very sorry for most Huskies because there is not enough special owners. I'm retired so I have plenty of time for my wonderful Husky.

Basically confirmed my suspicions. Huskies are independent as they come, you don’t call them or order them around, they behave like a pack. It’s instinct. I’ve noticed that with my husky, she just does the right thing at the right time, and I’ve learned to respect that as opposed to train her to follow my lead, it’s more like our lead.

Had a husky for 11 years. Could walk busy city streets off leash. Fully trained by whistles. Had him trained to get beers out of the fridge, too. Huskies are very trainable. It's easier when they are young

So glad to see you having fun with your dogs. I am thankful you take in rescues because they need a home of loving people. Job well done!

Translation: You can't recall a husky - wait until they have nothing better to do then call them. (you are the most interesting thing in that case and they will come anyway) :D

It worked very well for us as husky owners This is the most successful trick to get them trained off leash. My siberian husky is one happy husky!!

I think this is a good method to let your husky have fun. Just probably only when you're not distracted lol.

Great video and thanks for the tip. I have been letting my husky puppy (5 months) off leash on a open pitch that is completely fenced. Our sessions are usually early everyday to avoid any form of distractions. Recall has been mostly successful and had no idea about the success moment till mentioned it in your video. I will be sure to look out for it better in future.

This is key to off lead training. Creating small successes in safe environments

I had a husky sadly passed a year ago me and my dad always joked he had the body of a husky the brain of a German shepard so smart could walk him off the lead no problems with dogs, cats wait at the side of the road and wait to get told to cross over or he go wait outside a shop for you or if we was on a walk tell him to stop and he would dead in his tracks and come to when recalled

I think you are spot on with this video! I requires patience and time, but is the way to go. The only thing I would add is really good name recognition. A dog's name should only have one meaning: Pay attention to me; I'm going to give you a task. I have trained name recognition with mine to where their name is a conditioned stimulus - their head comes around without them thinking about it. As you point out in your video, without their attention, there is no point in asking them to do anything. Their name is a good way to get that attention. I practice recalls many, many times during any given walk or hike. Their greatest reward is to be able to run off again. My Sibes have good recall as well, but I know where I can let them go and where I need to keep them on a leash because I would not be able to compete with the interesting things in the environment. I have also learned that letting one dog off leash at a time increases recall - they're not as brave to chase large animals by themselves, it's not nearly as fun to do such things alone, and there is the draw of the group to come back to.

I love everything about the vid. Hardly ever subscribe but here I did after 2min. Thank you.

My 1st husky once chased a herd of deer down a draw and another 600 yards over some flat highland desert.. I hollered twice. Once when she first took off after them, which was ignored. Then again once I saw her slow her pace and then look around. She never fully broke her stride back to me after the second recall attempt. I just had to holler nicely a couple more times when she was about 75 yards out and starting to look over her shoulder for the deer again. Her name was Nala and about 3 years old at the time.

G.O.A.T. - Greatest Of All Time! LOL! 🐐🐕💜
