Some friends, after raising a Husky, start wondering when is the best time to train. In fact, Huskies should not undergo training too early because their bodies have not yet fully developed, and some training might affect their physical growth. Training too late may cause many bad habits that require more time to correct. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out systematic training at the appropriate time. Below, let’s learn about at what age Huskies can be trained. Let’s take a look.

1. At what age can training begin

When can Huskies be trained? Generally speaking, from one month to four months old, Huskies are in a golden period for learning new things, showing great interest in unfamiliar objects. From three to five months old, basic etiquette and obedience training can be conducted with better results. From six to eight months, more intensive running and jumping training can start. From eight months to one and a half years old, obstacle training can be carried out.

2. Training methods

There are many methods to train Huskies. Among them, teaching a handshake is relatively simple: first grasp the dog’s left front paw with one hand and the other paw with the other hand, give the command, then use food as a reward to guide the Husky to perform the behavior; repeated training will achieve a handshake. You can also teach the Husky to lie down by first having it completely lie down, then issuing the lie-down command. If it wants to stand, press it down and repeat the command several times until it becomes proficient.

3. Training precautions

When training Huskies, we should give plenty of praise and petting to stimulate the dog's enthusiasm for training. The commands and gestures during training should be simple and clear to help the dog recognize them easily. If the Husky makes a mistake, do not indulge it. Instead, stop and correct it in time, giving appropriate punishment. However, corporal punishment must be avoided as it will have the opposite effect and should be strictly prohibited.

The above is an introduction about at what age Huskies can be trained. Have you learned it? Once the Husky reaches the appropriate age for training, systematic training can begin. You can also try it with your own beloved dog.
