Dog-Aggressive Siberian Husky

[husky 1]

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.

[Xena the Pooch]

Hi Everyone!


We socialized her with other Huskies last weekend (The other Huskies were owned by the lady that runs the rescue group).

Xena seemed to be doing great inside the dog park (we were hesitant to bring her inside at first, but the rescue lady gave us an example of what to do and reassured us that it will be okay).

Xena got along very well with other Huskies and dogs her size. The rescue lady even gave us a few pointers on training (she is also a dog trainer).

Everything was nice until we saw a Chihuahua being carried inside the dog park (it is a shame there is no separation between big and small dogs). Xena did not see the Chi at first, until we decided to give her a drink in the fountain. Xena drank, and then she saw the Chi and started running really fast (almost like she is zeroing in the poor dog).

We screamed and ran, but it was too late... Xena bit on the Chi until he bled his leg

Thank goodness everyone is okay, and the Chi is fine as well. Xena actually stopped when we got there, and started to act innocent

I guess we can conclude that Xena is not dog-aggressive, but rather has high prey-drive.

We are currently training her to suppress her prey drive. Wish us luck!
