How To Make Your Mini Husky's Homecoming Fun And Stress-Free

By Leslie Ball


It can be fun and exciting to add a new puppy or a new dog to your family. A dog like a mini husky can really add a lot of energy and joy to any family. If you want to make sure that your puppy makes the best transition into a member of your family, here are some care tips that you can use. Then you can rest assured that your pet has the best start possible.

One thing you need to learn is about the breed itself. Many people make the mistake of thinking that because these dogs are smaller than Siberian or Alaskan huskies that they need less care or exercise. This is a mistake. In fact, these diminutive canines need just as much exercise and attention as their full-size counterparts.

The problem with these dogs is that when they do not get regular chances to burn off energy, they can end up becoming hyper and anxious. This can lead to other negative actions and behaviors. You may want to consider choosing a home or apartment where there is access to a fenced yard so that your new pup can roam and burn off steam.

If you find that your new puppy seems anxious or upset, there is a good reason for this. Remember that everything about the dog's world has changed. He or she no longer has litter mates around them. They are getting to know you just like you are getting to know them. It can be helpful to have a product such as a pheromone product on hand. These help relax a new dog and may make the transition into your family easier and more stress-free.

Do not be surprised if your puppy chews everything it can reach. Often, a puppy chews because it is teething. Chewing helps relieve pain and discomfort in their gums. A puppy uses its mouth to explore the world. It will tend to gravitate towards items that smell like the humans in its new "pack".

Toys are not the only thing that you need to make sure you have on hand. You should consider a pen or crate. These can help keep your puppy in a confined area and out of trouble. You will also want to make sure that your puppy has food and water bowls that it can get into easily as well as tools to keep your dog looking good too.

Miniature huskies do not need much grooming. That being said, they still have thick coats that do shed. In order to prevent tangling, you may want to think about getting some different brushes. If you are not sure which to get, any reputable pet store should be able to direct you to the right tools. You should also think about getting dog nail clippers.

One thing you will need a lot of is time. By being patient with your new puppy and being prepared for it to join your family you can end up with a confident and affectionate companion that will bring you joy for years to come.
