Huskies are only ranked 45th. According to the dog IQ rankings, they are all average students, not bad students. But why do many owners say that this dog is not obedient at all and will not listen no matter how they are taught!
Why can Huskies, who can help their owners trapped in the snow, become useless demolition captains in the hands of some owners?
Huskies are ranked 45th in IQ. Let’s take a look at the description of the dog IQ rankings: Dogs ranked 40-54 are dogs with average intelligence and obedience. In the learning process, they will have a basic understanding of the task after practicing 15-20 times. If you want to get satisfactory performance, you may need 25-40 times of practice. If you don’t practice, you may forget the movements you have learned… More skilled trainers can train these dogs to be as good as smart dogs, but inexperienced people or those who lack patience may not be able to do anything with these dogs.
Huskies’ IQ is definitely not low, just look at it destroying the house and making trouble. In the past, when it was still doing its old job of pulling a sled, if it encountered a blizzard where the owner could not see the road at all, it relied on them to take the owner to escape from the desperate situation. To put it bluntly, this kind of dog has poor obedience and cannot be trained well by an impatient owner. The reason why the Husky is disobedient has been found. It does not take the owner seriously at all. It does not care about what you say.
It is just like a child in class. If the child’s attention is not in the class at all, he does not know what the teacher is talking about. The Husky is the child and the owner is the teacher. Therefore, a very important part of training a Husky is to let it focus on the owner.
To train a Husky to focus on the owner
, first of all, the owner should choose a relatively quiet environment, such as in a room. Huskies are prone to distraction and do not listen to the owner, so we cannot have too many distractions at the beginning of training, otherwise it will not be able to proceed. Then we have to prepare rewards (toys, snacks). If you want the Husky to focus on the owner, you must let it know that the owner has good things, and good things will happen if you keep looking at the owner. It is recommended to take the Husky out for a walk before training, and don’t let it get too excited.
1. In the room, the owner sits or stands, but remember not to move first. After the dog looks at you, give it a reward immediately. Then gradually increase the time the dog looks at the owner. For example, the first time the Husky looks at you for 3 seconds, the second time it looks at you for 5 seconds before giving the reward.
2. Let the dog always focus on the owner. Still in a quiet room, the owner starts to walk around casually, don’t look at the dog, and don’t call its name. When it comes to look at you, reward it immediately. Let the dog know that paying attention to the owner is a good thing. Then gradually increase the time the Husky looks at the owner, and then reward it.
When you have confidence in the dog, you can switch to the living room for training, and then go out for training, step by step. When the Husky keeps paying attention to the owner, it is like a child who listens carefully in class. It can hear and respond to what the owner says.
There is no absolutely stupid dog, only whether the owner is patient and can keep calm and teach well.
