it wont listen 2 me

Question
hi
 I just got a husky not to long ago and she is making my mom mad and if i dont get her to start listening i will have to give her away and i dont want to do that. The main problem i have with her is
1)she will not come to me when i tell her to (ive tried to make her listen by givin her a treat when she does but it doesnt seem to help)

2)she will run threw my moms flowers and she's killed most of them

3)she has dug my moms tomato plants up and hide them from us and thats a bad thing to do to my mom

so how can i make her stop doing this stuff?

thank you,

Answer
Dear Ryan,
You obviously did very little reasearch on this breed before you got one. The dumpage rate with this breed is sadly quite high. Every one looks at these guys and says straight off I want one. Thier good looks do them little favours I am afraid. Let me tell you as horrorfying as it is every thing your husky does is very normal for this breed. Let me tell you a little more about thier traits so hopefully you can understand yes they are pretty, but a serious and heavy commitment not to be taken at face value.
Here goes.......
Welcome to the world of Siberians, you are due for a tough crash course in
dog ownership. I will help you all I can. Huskies are the hardest dogs to
train on this planet, unless you want them to pull sleds that is


Is it trainable? if so to what extent? and from what age is the best to
begin training?
Beginning training, I start the moment they are born for the best results,
so get going now.
These guys need huge amounts of excercise, so if you cant walk at least a
couple of miles a day do not get this breed. Failure to do so will cause them to be bored and very destructive.
They are very hard to train and wont do obedience like a german shepherd
will.
They are very stubborn and persistant.
They love to hunt all small animals even if it happens to be your cat!
They WILL NOT come when called. Do not let these guys go anywhere off
lead. That is what a husky does they were bred to work in hard environments pulling all day. Off lead work is not for a siberian very few can be trusted to return to you 100% of the time. One has to accept this.
They are notoriouous escape artists, if they want out nothing keeps them
in! So a secure yard is a must.
They will pull and pull on a leash until your arm is sore.
They love to dig like you wouldnt believe. Fine if you want a lunar
landscape in the back yard though forget having any kind of decent garden.
They will cover your entire home in dog fur especially in spring time.
Here are their good points. Yes they have them!
They have no doggy smell at all, even when wet.
They are great with people and kids, and as a consequence will not guard
at all.
They are an excellent companion and love to go places with you and do new
things.
They do not bark incessantly they howl, much easier on the ears.
They can be as gentle as they can be rough.
They have very few heriditary ailments.
Once you have had one you will never want to know another breed they will
steal your heart.
I guess this is the basic attributes of the breed.
So I am sorry to say that really the only thing you can do to help is alleviate her boredom. I am with my guys all day so they dont get bored. I take them for long walks and runs and in winter they pull a sled till they are tired. These are working dogs, and as a consequence don't always make the best pets.
I hope this has helped you understand your pup better.
