Question
Kona
My siberian husky, Kona, is 2years old and I also have two other dogs who are about 5 or so. They all first met a year ago and have been together ever since. The two mixed breeded dogs are a little smaller than Kona. Every single day i hear one or both of the other dogs growling and snapping at Kona because he always wants to play. Hes a VERY hyperactive dog. So what my question is: Is there a way to get Kona to not always be in their face? Or for the other two dogs to ignore him? We got Kona fixed because my first thought was that he intimidated them cause hes the only male, but its STILL going on! I know Kona has good intentions and just wants to play and interact with them. Can you please answer that question??!! Ive asked several people and no one knows anything about huskies!! Thank you soo much [:
Answer He want to play. It is plan and simple, if they won't play he is going to piss them off and have a game of chase. When this happens you will have to try and rederect him off the other dogs. Do not correct the snapping dogs, they have every right to be mad, right now he is like an annoying co-worker you don't want to talk to but he will come and stick his nose in your business just to get you to talk to him anyway. Plainly put he has bad manners.
Taking him out to get extra exercise will help take away the urge to play. This will burn off some of the extra energy. Also obedience will help, it will sharpen him mind and teach him how to understand you and in turn build a relationship where he will listen to you.
This is the primary difference in a Siberian apposed to other breeds. Taken from a behavior page from a rescue site.
"There is even a logical explanation for the Siberian's seemingly casual indifference to commands. The Siberian can easily sense any uncertainty or nervousness you may be experiencing and will quickly question your leadership ability. Every breed is guided to one degree or another by the pecking order, and while some breeds will submit more quickly to the will of man than others, the Siberian will insist you prove a good and reliable leader before he accepts your dominance. The Siberian will always give freely of his love and affection. However, his respect must be earned."

I am just letting you know this because you and your Siberian need one on one time to build a good relationship in order for him to listen. They do not blindly follow commands especially if to them, picking at the other dog is waaaaaay more fun then listening to you. You have to offer them something in return which is more valuable then that. If you build a relationship your attention will be worth more then being a pest lol. They are smart enough to figure out which outcome will get them something good. Also because they are intelligent and have a body that wants to go they have a lot of needs that need to be met. Mentally and physically to be a happy and balanced dog.
