There are a few things to know when figuring out how to train a Siberian Husky. They are very independent thinkers and this can really be a thorn in your side while you try to train them. This breed of dog was bred to to run, run, then run more.
Siberian huskies are independent thinkers.
If they see something that touches their interest (bird, bike, ball, you name it!) they will want to go chase/see/grab that object.
This is tied with a very strong hunter instinct, and was crucial to Siberian huskies survival when living on the frozen tundra in Siberia.
This can't be trained out of a husky, however you can use it to train them! if you have something they want because of their hunter instinct (This can be anything from a treat to a favorite toy), you can keep their attention, and once you have their attention it is insanely easy to train them.
Siberian huskies have an insatiable desire to run.
The breed was bred to run for upwards of 12 hours a day pulling a sled across huge expanses of land. Exercise will be absolutely crucial to training your Siberian husky.
If you exercise your Husky you will find that they are one hundred, no, a thousand times easier to train. They must have that need met in order to be well behaved. If that need isn't met, or you can't meet it, training a husky could be a very difficult thing for you to accomplish.
