Two Arctic Icons, Two Very Different Lifestyles If you have ever fallen into the rabbit hole of northern dog breeds, you have probably landed on the classic comparison, Husky vs. Alaskan Malamute. At first glance, they can look like close cousins who shop at the same outdoor gear store. Both have plush coats, wolfy vibes, and that “I was born to run through snow” energy. But living with one is…
Understanding the “Husky Remodel”: Is It Separation Anxiety or Boredom? If a Husky has turned your living room into an abstract art installation of foam, splinters, and fluff, you are not alone. Many Husky owners jokingly call it the “Husky remodel”, that moment when you walk back into your home and discover that your dog has helpfully “redecorated” the couch, baseboards, drywall, and maybe even your favorite shoes. But behind…
Why Working Huskies Get Sore (and Why That Matters) Working Huskies are built like endurance athletes in a fur coat. They pull, run, dig, bounce, corner like they are on rails, and then act surprised when you suggest they might want a rest day. If you share your life with a sled dog, skijoring partner, bikejoring buddy, or an all-purpose “let us go faster” Husky, you have probably seen it,…
The Arctic Choir, Two Very Different Lead Singers When people ask, “Samoyed vs. Husky, which arctic breed is truly more vocal?”, they are usually not asking out of pure curiosity. They are asking because they live in an apartment, they have neighbors who work from home, or they recently discovered that their new fluffy roommate has opinions about everything, including the audacity of the mail carrier to exist. Both Samoyeds…
Are Huskies Really Just “Stubborn”? If you have ever called a Siberian Husky and watched them look directly at you, pause, then trot in the opposite direction, you are not alone. Many people label Huskies as stubborn dogs, assuming they are unwilling to listen, impossible to train, or simply too wild for everyday life. Yet that popular reputation misses a deeper truth. Huskies are not so much stubborn as they…
The “wolf” at the dog park problem It happens in almost every neighborhood sooner or later. A fluffy, blue-eyed Husky trots by and someone whispers, “Is that a wolf?” The owner smiles politely, the dog pants happily, and the myth grows another inch. This guide is here to gently (and sometimes jokingly) pop that bubble. A Siberian Husky is not a wolf, most “wolf-looking dogs” are not wolves, and that…
Spring 2026, Snow Dog Energy, and Tiny Hitchhikers Spring is when everything wakes up: flowers, squirrels, your Husky’s zoomies, and unfortunately, parasites. If you share life with a Siberian Husky (or any Husky mix with that same “I was born to run” confidence), you already know springtime walks rarely stay on the sidewalk. One minute you are enjoying a breezy trail, the next your dog is chest-deep in brush like…
Understanding Why Your Husky Digs “Dens” In Your Garden Watching a Husky dismantle your garden can feel like a personal affront. One day, it’s a floral paradise; the next, it’s a series of moon craters, and your dog couldn’t be prouder. But before you take it to heart, remember this isn’t malice. It’s the denning instinct, an ancient biological “hard-wiring” that tells them they need to excavate a home base.…
Spring Weather, Husky Logic, and the “But I’m Fine” Face Spring is the season that tricks runners. One day it is crisp and breezy, the next day the sun comes out and suddenly your Husky is panting like they just finished negotiating a peace treaty. If you run with a Husky, you have probably seen the classic contradiction: they look unstoppable, they act fearless, and then they flop dramatically onto…
Understanding Why Your Husky Pulls on the Leash Walking a Husky can sometimes feel like being attached to a furry, overcaffeinated sled. Before looking for ways to fix the pulling problem, it helps to understand why Huskies pull in the first place. Once the behavior makes sense, using Premack’s Principle to stop your Husky from pulling becomes much more intuitive and effective. Huskies are a working breed originally developed to…
