Step By Step How To Train Your Husky To Be Fully Off Leash | Little Husky Voodoo

So many people think you cannot trust a husky off leash - it's great to see this proven wrong. I also used an e-collar and treats to train my husky off leash and she no longer requires the collar or the treats. Your video is perfect - clear, concise, and encouraging. I also really appreciate your open and non-judgemental attitude. I enjoyed watching your video, as it encouraged me to train my next husky exactly the same way and not consider it a fluke that I have a husky that can be off-leash. I am looking forward to getting more tips from you Thanks :)

so glad to see responsible dog owners looking after the needs of particular breeds! Nice work guys!

They can do almost anything except perfect recall because they are assholes and too smart and thats why I love them

I have a female Husky that at 6 mos. I sent her to a off leash training camp for 2 weeks in Toledo Ohio. Upon picking her up I couldn't believe she was the same dog. It's been a yr since I've gotten her back and she is still the best trained Husky I've seen. People ask if I have our yard wired because she stays in the yard so well. Tonight she stirred up a rabbit and chased it towards my neighbors I yelled BACK to Karina and she broke off the chase before reaching our property line. I'm a believer in the Ecoller training methods.

I'm new to your channel. I had nine huskies when I was younger. My favorite one, Tundra, looked just like the husky in this video. I know just what to meant when you said huskies are more of a challenge to train. I ran my huskies on a sled team. Sled trained huskies are very different then house pet huskies. We don't want them to be calm, we want them turned on and ready to run. From what I know about huskies, I am blown away with what you accomplished. You know the breed and your craft well. Can't wait for more videos.

my dog knows how to run fast but not so much slowing down, when I call her she runs as fast as she can and then just plows into whatever she is running at full speed, she brakes way to late lol

I've just got a husky, he's stunning and I can't wait to do more training with him, he's 8 and a half weeks and he learnt sit straight away, he can already do paw and I've had him for 4 days, and he's learning lie down, he's learning come but he's got selective hearing, hopefully he'll be ready when we go for walks, hopefully this video will help us! Thanks

Nice job. I’ve raised a wolf, a malamute and 2 huskies. You are definitely giving good advice. But, it is not as easy as you imply and I,know,you didn’t do,that on purpose. There will be much frustration people, but hang in there and follow,this advice.

I recently got a husky puppy and almost everyone has that you-are-gonna-struggle-cuz-husky-is-too-difficult attitude :(

Thank you for this. I adopted a husky to be trained as a service dog, and your channel is such a relief and positive discovery!

That husky was staring Down that food for a while when she was talking 😂😂😂

Excellent video. Shocked at how obedient voodoo is with staying close. For the husky and other sled dog breeds that is amazing. Well trained!

It's great that you're using the tool safely, I've seen what e-collars can do good and bad, from potentially saving a dogs life to permanent scarring, I'm not anti any kind of high quality tool as long as it's used correctly, but I think caution needs to be taken with the tool you buy and how you choose to use it, I'd much prefer to have a little shock a few times than to lose my freedom forever, so I can't see why a dog would choose differently!

I had a high energy hunting dog that could not be controlled without an e-collar. After spending countless days chasing her hunting birds on the beach, a friend taught me how to use the e-collar (don't buy the cheap ones which could injure your dog; I used a collar from dogtra and was very happy with their product). First of all, shock yourself with the collar. Start at zero and I promise you won't feel a thing. Gradually increase the level. At 10, you may feel a slight tingle. At 30, it may feel like licking a 9v battery. The point is that you should know how much 'pain' you are inflicting on your dog and should only be willing to do so if you yourself knows what it feels like. Second, by controlling the dog with an e-collar you are helping to keep your dog SAFE, not torturing it! You are aware of other dangers that your dog may not sense (e.g. cars, snakes, ranchers with itchy trigger fingers, etc.). High impulse dogs require more stimulus to distract them from their hunting instincts. A simple 'come' command will not do the trick on its own. Third, gradually increase the level until you achieve the desired response. On my dogtra (which goes to 120), I typically start in the 20-25 range. In more stressful situations where your dog starts chasing prey, for example, you may need to double or even triple that level. Lastly, I would advise against using the shock feature if your dog is in water. There is a lot of responsibility with using an e-collar, but the rewards are immense. Believe or not, your dog is happier because it now knows boundaries. Rather than having an owner constantly upset at it for reasons it does not understand, the rules become much simpler. It becomes easier to train your dog, and eventually you rarely even need to shock it. My girlfriend was dubious of using an e-collar on our malamute-husky, but she quickly became a convert after seeing its effectiveness in just a few short sessions. I would much rather shock my dog than see it hit by a car, attacked by a wild animal, or get lost whilst chasing a deer. When used correctly, e-collars are good for both the dog and the owners.

Honestly you have to be consistent with training, have lots of patience, exercise and play with them daily, and ngl it’s much better when you keep a puppy you raised. My husky female has a gentle temperament and listens well thankfully so she was easy to raise and she was a great mom with her first litter. Out of the 5 she birthed we decided to keep 1 male and I know male huskies are supposed to be more difficult compared to their female counterparts (as that’s how my first male husky was but Rest In Peace). But because I helped raise our puppy that got to stay and took the time to raise our first litter properly he became a dream. At two months he came when called, knew his name, he knew how to sit, waited patiently for commands and treats, how to give a paw, knew to not jump on me when he greeted me, knew not to nip at my hair or drawstrings from my sweaters, knew how to play fetch, we got rid of his food aggression, we had gotten rid of his nipping, greatly minimized destroying everything in the house to soothe his teething, etc. This also came much faster because since we had raised him, there was no need to teach him his name, no need to gain his trust, no need to teach him that my presence was something he should get excited about, no need to teach him that my presence means more than food and water, etc. Now that he’s in his adolescent phase he still listens well just like before but I make sure to train and play with him more consistently since this is where huskies start getting really rebellious. The mom and his litter also helped a lot with his social skills and in other areas a human can do little about, the last of his siblings left around 3.5 months so he still had a playmate to practice his social skills with.

Beginning of video: husky looks around bored "...so get some treats" bag ruffles then husky jolts head around and watches her carefully LOL

Its great that you are introducing husky owners to responsible off-leash training with an e-collar ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely agree with you and your usage of the e-collar. I adopted my husky mix 6 years ago, and she had a LOT of anxiety, which led to unpredictable aggressive behavior. The most stressful times were when she would just snap out of nowhere. When she was in her "aggression" mode, there was no way of stopping except to run away. I picked up the cues when she was losing focus and I initially attempted to use treats to get her attention and keep focus. Didn't work, she'd still end up losing it. It was almost like Jekyll and Hyde, because it would happen in a split second. But I found help through a professional trainer, and I learned to use the ecollar to keep her focused, which helped prevent the aggression. This led to my dog building complete trust in me. And after 3 years of being on it, I barely have to use the collar. She's become confident and very trusting. It's unfortunate that the people who don't know how to use it for these reasons, end up abusing their dogs with them. I'm sorry this isn't a resource for some people, but I can 100% attest to the positive outcome with my furbaby.

I have a 3 month old husky that I'm training and absolutely love your videos! She has so much energy and very stubborn, but is making progress everyday. Def gonna invest in the e collar :) I need all the help and advice I can get!

Thank you so much this worked perfectly on my dog! He used to be aggressive towards other dogs and now he is a kind giant and listens to me too!
