Behavior

The Siberian Husky has been described as a behavioural representative of the domestic dog's forebear, the wolf. It exhibits a wide range of the ancestor type's behaviours. They are frequently known to howl rather than bark. Hyperactivity displaying as an over-active hunting drive, a characteristic of kennelled dogs, is often noticeable in dogs released from their captive environment for exercise - a behaviour welcome in hunting dogs but not in the family pet. The frequency of kennelled Siberian Huskies, especially for racing purposes, is rather high, as attributed through the history of the breed in North America. Fifteen-minute obedience training classes will serve well for Siberian Huskies, as will daily training.
