Calling on siberian husky owners.... I am at my wits end!!

[Natalie1989xo]

So picked up our husky puppy on 2nd October and he has settled well, gets on with our 4 year old staffie and all seems ok.

I found training my staffie very easy and this pup has knocked my feet from under me! He will sit on command for a treat and then bite your hand for it, which I can deal with and work on.

But it's the toilet training, he just doesn't completely get it, he will pee and poo outside in the garden which is fab I know, and I am keeping him in the kitchen currently as it is hard floor. In the mornings there will be about 3 or 4 poos and a puddle of wee. I know he obviously won't hold it all night at 10 weeks but I am wondering if i am feeding him too late or too much and adding to the problem? He is dry fed on Wagg currently and is fed at
6am 1pm and 7pm. Is 7pm too late? He is taken outside at leaat every hour all day until 9pm when we go up to bed. DH comes back down about 10.30 or 11 to let him out. Then at 5.30am Dh takes him out again.

This is just so hard, much more so than I thought. So if any husky owners can guide me or share my pain I will be forever in your debt.....

Puppies are like babies I would not expect them to be toilet trained in the night until they are a good few months old, I used to set my alarm and get up at 3am to let the pup out.

Crate training is fab they won't soil where they sleep, you make it a nice cosy safe place to be, feed them in there etc also great for keeping them out of harms way when the chewing phase starts.

Don't have much experience with huskies, DP, like a lot of people, was taken with their stunning looks but a quick google put me off, high maintenance dogs, bred for working. I don't think you can take an animal bred for hundreds if not thousands of years to work and pull sleds all day long then stick them in a flat with half an hours walk a day, not that a lot of people do this but a lot do then they get a destructive bored dog. I couldn't commit to that sort of exercise so didn't get one.

Oh and second the Waggs it's junk food for dogs one of the worst foods you can buy, a great website it whichdogfood.com you can put in breed, budget and it will give you a rundown of the best foods and which ingredients to avoid.

Can you possibly link to that website sweetkitty? I tried to google it but comes up with nothing,

Sulawesii I think that website had a revamp and is now All About Dog Food.

Thank you

Thanks for the new link

My hound is now on Millie's Wolfheart thanks to that site is doing fab

I feed MWH as well, brilliant stuff!
