Huskamute

Hi

i will be getting a Huskamute bitch next month when she is 8 weeks old i would like to eventually be able to let my dog off the lead when in secure areas, has any one got any advice on this breed i have read that the Husky causes problems when trying to train to recall is this the same for the Huskamute can anyone advise on techniques.

Thanks

The Huskamute is not a breed its a crossbreed, I do hope you arent paying a lot of money for a crossbreed. May I suggest if either of these breeds are really the type of dog you want, to go to a reputable breeder. If you want to run a dog loose, they perhaps are not the best.

I would keep your options open and don;t set your mind in stone that she will be able to have off lead runs in non-secured areas.

Look for a good training class now - (they get booked up - so get in well in advance)

You are getting a cross between 2 breeds - a Husky and Malamute, so you could get traits from either parent or both.
I have never owned either but worked with a few - however - there are many people with one or the other on here (and a few with the same cross as well) - I do not know of any who let theirs off in non-secured areas - sorry.

ok thanks for the reply currently looking at training classes i have 6 weeks yet,

Thanks

Have a look here
APDT Trainers

Or Check out Obedience UK or the KC site.

I would suggest you go along and watch before you settle on a class...there are some about that are less than desirable

thanks for the info they actually have a place less than 30 minutes from me.

I generally find Clicker training a recall, from a tiny pup, will "hard wire" it , much better than just calling commands

thanks

i will look at this is it effective if you are outside may be the park of beeach?

It works very well with many breeds, but the northern types and their crosses often have a very strong prey drive.

If you are 100% wanting a dog who can be allowed off lead in non-enclosed areas I would be seriously considering if you are getting the right type of dog.

Yes, ive been very successful with a beagle, husky & Atkita x mal,-all difficul breeds, using this method, aswell as easy breeds.
It is going to need ALOT of hard work from your part & on going training, probaley forever.
