HI I am new to this site but have had all kinds of dogs for 30 yrs, mostly rotties danes and cockers (a new dobie mom though whooohooo) however my ex and I lived with a Husky(it was his when I married him) and Max was quite a handful! I have to agree with the nothing in life is free method! I wound up treating Max like one of my foster kids that had bad tude lol you want this I want that so here is how we get there (my way) and it was a repetitive thing he did finally become a sweet heart (ahem) but I never ever left him to his own devices longer than it took to shower lol. Have heart in the end when he grows up a bit mentally it is all worth it! they are amazing dogs and have their unique place (in everything all the time).Btw hello all and my pleasure to meet everyone.
