Training huskie light watchdog duties
Hello Everyone,
I am hoping to find someone who may have some experience with Siberian huskies that could answer some questions for me. I have brought home a huskie from a rescue for a week to see how he would like our family. He is 3 years old and just an angel. Everyone in the house has fallen in love with them and he seems to already in 2 days accepted us as his pack. He is housetrained and very well mannered but I would like to try to install some light watchdog training. I know characteristics of this breed is that they are not well suited as watch dogs because of their friendly nature. If I could train him to simply bark at people who aproach our doors then this would suffice. I do not need a dog that will fight to the death if you enter the home, in fact if they want in that bad then I would rather have him safe than injured by a potential burglar. My goal is to train the dog to bark(or even howl) at visitors who approach the home while we are not there and to investigate sounds such as doors being rattled and such. I feel that as long as he makes his presence known, that his size and wolf like looks would probably ward off most potential burglars. One thing that is in his benefit is that he is constantly looking out the windows of the home and he will bark at someone who may be walking on the sidewalk but have noticed that this behaviour was with someone who was walking their dog. I have the time to put in his training but am looking for techniques that could be used in order to help encourage this behaviour. Any suggestions or input at all is greatly apreciated! ,Brandon |
