Adding a new four-legged family member can bring a lot of fun and excitement with it. It can also bring a lot of stress and frustration, especially if a new canine companion is exhibiting unwanted behaviors. Here are some tips that you can use to make sure that the first few days your mini husky spends with your family are as calm, relaxed, and enjoyable as possible.
This breed can be fun and full of energy. In fact, they tend to have the same need for exercise and movement that their full-sized cousins do. If you are someone who lives a more sedentary lifestyle you may find that this breed of dog never really outgrows the fun and energetic puppy stage like some dog breeds will.
An important first step is to look at the living space that your new dog will be occupying. If you can, make sure there is a fenced yard that your puppy or dog can roam in. Unlike full sized huskies, a miniature one may not need a six or seven foot fence but you do need to make sure that if your dog is being allowed outside that it cannot escape. Huskies of any size just love to run.
Any new puppy will often be anxious when it is first introduced to a home. Often, if they are young, they will whine or cry excessively. If this is the case with your puppy and you have nothing that smells like the mother or other puppies, you may want to think about using a pheromone product that can relax your dog.
Be prepared for chewing. Puppies will often try to explore and discover things with their mouths. This, along with pressure in their gums from emerging teeth, causes them to want to put as many different objects in their mouths as possible. Making sure you have appropriate items on hand such as bones and chew rings will help keep your puppy happy and out of trouble.
You also want to make sure that you have a few basic care items on hand besides toys. It can be great fun to go shopping for a new dog, whether or not it is full grown when you bring it home. Some of the basics that you may want to consider are a crate or pen, where you can put the dog when you cannot supervise it directly, bowls for food and water, toys that it can play with and grooming tools.
If you are considering grooming tools, you may want to speak to a professional before buying anything. You should buy a good quality brush as well as a pair of canine nail clippers. By trimming nails frequently, you will get your dog used to having its feet touched and keep its nails in good form. Brushes can help keep this breed's coat from tangling and it will keep looking its best.
One thing you will need a lot of is time. By being patient with your new puppy and being prepared for it to join your family you can end up with a confident and affectionate companion that will bring you joy for years to come.
