Dog-Aggressive Siberian Husky

[Xena the Pooch]

Oh MY! She's BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Welcome to Pet Talk, we have quite a few husky owners here on the board, 2 of them have given you great information already that I can only echo.

I hope you continue to work with her and I hope you stick around here too!

Thank you for the welcome everyone!!!

We will continue to work with her, we loved her too much already

I have been enjoying this forum so much, you all have the greatest tips and resources. I will be sticking around for a long long time for sure

Are there anyone here from Salt Lake City, Utah???

Nice!

Here are couple of pics that the rescue group took before putting her on Petfinder two months ago. I don't think they bathed her yet

Wow! She is gorgeous! Welcome to Pet Talk!

I have the same problem with my 2 year old yellow Lab, Rita. Loves people to death, HATES other dogs, (except Sadie, my other labby). I wish you the best of luck to you with her!

Welcome! Xena is a very pretty girl. Do you know anything about her past? It's possible she was never socialized with other dogs.

Have you enrolled in obedience training classes? It would be a really good idea. Be sure the teacher knows about her behaviors so there won't be any incidents. It's important to establish yourself as the pack leader with any dog but especially so with siberians.

I've also noticed that huskies seem to get along better with other huskies. We've met a few on our walks whose owners said they were a real handful around other dogs, but our huskies will be playing with each other just fine while we talk. (I should mention that when huskies play, it can seem very un-playful & aggressive. They love getting physical and vocal.)

I have one who adores small dogs (Star) and one who sees trapping them as great fun (Jack). They all have their own personalities. Life with siberians is always interesting.

There are a lot of husky owners here on PT, so don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.

Hi & welcome!

My husky:



Is also dog aggressive, but, she is only happy and content with my other dog, only her. No one else.

She's always been this way. We adopted her in 1998, and she is about 11 years old now.

BUT, around another husky, she is fine.

Beautiful sibe, my sibe mishka sounds just like yours, when she meets other dogs she says hello but then always snaps at them as if to tell them she is the boss. After she does this she is fine with the other dog & will play or stand happily next to them, so strange. I do reprimand her for snapping but she is still doing it.
