It is important to accustom huskies to games from an early age. Make this in a puppy environment for puppy. If the pet is well played at home, then start taking toys outside. But be ready for the fact that this situation may alarm him and he will lose interest in the game. But, if you manage to persuade the dog to play, he will relax and become more confident. After completing the game process, encourage the puppy with a treat and hide the toy.
Offer your pet to hunt for a treat as entertainment. Before that, hold it in your hand and stretch out your fist. If the baby bites or scratches hand with his paws, wait for the moment when he stops doing it. If he begins to lick fist and buries his nose in it instead of unwanted actions, say “Yes”, then open your hand and give the treat to the dog.

After the animal begins to play by the rules, you can start to learn a new skill: move up, down or snake-like behind the hand of the owner. The word “Yes” must be spoken only if the dog’s nose touched the fist with the treat.
Do not put too many treats in your hand, and after you say “Yes”, immediately give the food. If the training is done correctly, the husky owner will be able to control his pet with hand gestures.
