I hand-painted this custom oil portrait of this dramatic Siberian Husky, based on the original photo his human shared. Do you think I did him justice?
I loved working on this one. Those eyes didn't need any extra drama; the photo already had it. Stayed true to everything: the floor, the bone, that stare.
This portrait was painted entirely by hand in oil as a commissioned piece. I hope his personality comes through on canvas. Would love to hear what you think!
Why do I feel like they are interrogating me, “where are the treats mum”
Walkie time.
Grandma was too slow getting ready so Ollie had to hurry her up lol.
Recently adopted a husky/samoyed mix, anyone else have a similar mix?
HELP
Hi! This is my baby, Nyla. 🩷
She’ll be 12 weeks old tomorrow, and I’m really struggling with her biting. My hands, arms, and feet are absolutely covered in little cuts from those razor-sharp puppy teeth.
I’ve tried rewarding her when she chooses a toy instead of me, redirecting her to toys, walking away, crossing my arms and ignoring her, and giving short timeouts. She goes outside every 1–2 hours, is crate trained at night, and I make sure she gets plenty of naps during the day since I know overtired puppies tend to bite more. She also has every chew toy imaginable—lick mats, antlers, frozen treats, teething toys… you name it!
Does anyone have any recommendations or tips that worked for your puppy? My hands and feet (and honestly my sanity 😂) would be so grateful!
Worst time of the year for the Husky Nation
Having a heatwave USA Mid-Atlantic region. So, really rough with my Huskies. It's been 90 and 100° for days now so they're not getting their normal amount of exercise. I have to run them either at 10:00 at night just for a few minutes or first thing in the morning before sunrise and I'm not really a morning person. Thank God for the Pupsicles; that helps and also cucumber slices floating in water. And carrots. I have a couple of treat puzzles and that also helps but this next few weeks is going to be rough. I have a fenced backyard so they can run a little bit in the evening and husky fight but it's gotten a little bit more intense since they haven't been getting there required exercise and I'm waiting for the the neighbors to call the cops on me as it sounds like I have some kind of dog fighting ring in the backyard because, you know, Husky.

New husky preparedness
Me and my boyfriend are getting a husky on Tuesday, it's being rehomed and we have always wanted one. But I have only ever had cocker spaniels and don't know how to prepare our home for a 3 year old husky, we do have a cat already and I already have an introduction plan set up so neither the dog or cat are too overwhelmed, we are spending the entire day on Monday cleaning up and getting things ready, what are things that need to be done before bringing a new husky home? Yes, my cat has hiding spots and places to escape to as needed, and we do live in a one bedroom apartment but have plenty of space and places to take the new dog outside to exercise
Help with training to go on walks?
My sons can walk him easily because they are twice my size.
When I try to walk him, he drags me.
I tried the ‘stop and walk the other way thing’ when he pulls. But he immediately starts pulling in that direction.
So then we look ridiculous going back and forth in two foot circles.
I would give him treats when he doesn’t drag me, but he always pulls.
He’s a husky. He was bred to do this.
My sons walk him plenty, but I would like to be able to walk him too! I want to take him places without someone twice my size holding the leash.
Tips. Advice. Tricks. Anything?
Has anyone ever really been successful at training a Husky with SEVERE separation anxiety?
My Husky isn't a bad dog at all. He was rescued and attached very quickly. He was able to be trained quickly as well, except for his separation anxiety issues.. it's absolutely awful. Even if I leave the house for 20 minutes he is howling so loud and disrupting all the neighbors. When I come home his heart is beating ridiculously fast. And I have a camera to watch him and he is just irate the whole time. The only success I have had is trazodone prescribed from my vet which I only use if I have to be gone for a few hours or more (probably once a week at max) But I don't want to have to drug my dog every time I need to leave the house. I don't like the way he is on the medication and it feels cruel. Has anyone successfully been able to solve their Huskies separation anxiety issue? I will take any advice or tips! It's much appreciated.
I have had him for 3 years and he is 4 years old.
Hans Solo Walk
Well, trying to walk Jack Frost & Lily together has become a nightmare on Elm Street!🤦♂️ So, since I've been gone with firehouse stuff & a 48, I wanted to take Jack on his usual full walk to burn some energy he's been pissing his Mom off with the last couple nights! Hopefully, after dragging my fat ass around the neighborhood a couple miles, he'll rest tonight!
Looking for furniture dog crate with storage that comfortably fits a Husky
We just adopted a another husky — we all love her!!! The new girl is Ethel (white fur) and is I think about the size of a normal husky and is bigger than Lucy (reddish brown/ cream/ toasted marshmallow color). Lucy is pretty small and she is 90% Siberian Husky and 10% Alaskan Malamute (according to her DNA test) and she is about 45lbs. I think Ethel might be about 50 lbs. Ethel and Lucy have been great together and we are all in love!!!!!! Anyways I need some type of crate and would love a furniture style with storage — so if you have one and you love it please leave a pic and a link to the one you bought! Thank you in advance
