**picture of the wild one in question lol**

My Nova girl is about 6 months old and does okay for my boys and I about going out for the bathroom. However, the problem we seem to be running into is that my MIL is who keeps her some during the day. She claims that she's quit going to the bathroom outside for her(no clue why) and is on her way to being too much for her. We momentarily don't have our yard fenced or the funding to do so. I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as a substitute. We have a tie out for her in the yard, but for whatever reason she's not able to work the latch to hook her to use it. The trainer that teaches the *manners* class she's enrolled in says doesn't recommend invisible fences, especially the cheaper GPS ones. She says they can be unreliable in their boundary location and effectiveness. She said, and i quote "Huskies can be surprisingly sensitive and you could potentially create new unintended issues (her running through the fence, creating fear of the backyard, etc.)" if we use something that shocks her also.- which was not a repercussion I'd thought of. Would love some input and advisement from anyone else with some husky experience as this is our first one- thanks in advance!

My boy Ed turned 15 years old and he’s still going strong! Looking good for an old man. Hoping for 15 more, buddy!

Hi everyone! My husband and I just adopted 2 brothers from our local ASPCA. For some background context, we do have a 9 year old male, neutered husky who is fantastic with puppies. He raised our last one from 8 weeks to 6.5 years through covid. That puppy was never fixed and passed away from his epilepsy. Our olde boy has been missing his brother, so we adopted him two more.

Anyway, back to the help I need! So a little about these boys, I guess their mom was taken to the shelter and no one knew she was pregnant, so they were surprised by the seven puppies. Every one was being fostered by an older couple until they decided the puppies were too much and sent them back to the shelter while keeping the mom.

So our two boys have been doing everything together. Sleeping in the same kennel, doing every outing together, etc. They’re only 3 months old so I really want to start nipping the litter mate syndrome and other bad habits in the butt now.

What can I do as this is our first time raising litter mates?!??

The other bad habits they seem to have is they are very good about going potty on puppy pads but we really need them to learn to go outside. How can we work on the transition? (Our other puppy we had so young that he never learned puppy pads.)

One of the boys has a little bit of food aggression but right now they are in neighboring, SEPARATE crates and play areas. I don’t need anyone being food aggressive.

And last night was a little rough on them being in separate crates and not being allowed to sleep together. I covered other their crates but left them open to see each other in between to try to help.

Yesterday was their first day home, so please be gentle, but all of the help would be greatly appreciated. We’re looking forward to the adventure!!

This is my 6 week old “Akita mix”. I posted him in the Akita and IDMyDog subs and people were mainly saying that he looks like a husky/husky mix.

He and his littermates were dumped in a box at the fire station my friend works at yesterday at 4am. All that the box read was “Akita mix born 8/21/26”.

I would prefer to have a Akita but if he’s a husky I’ll love him the same. I’m already attached to him and have been holding him all day.

His surgery was yesterday morning and everything went well. We had been giving him daily eyedrops for the last two years after his initial diagnosis and after his first eye was removed, but glaucoma finally got his second eye. Luckily he seems to be recovering and adapting well.
