We’ve been in and around the breed for 12 years now and have picked up few things along the way. We don’t breed huskies but do put alot back into the husky community. Guy has been on the Siberian Husky Club of GB committee for 7 years, resigning from the post of Vice Chairman in 2009, but remaining on the committee. We have run the very successful SHCGB website, helping lots of people across the breed.

could you please give me a bit of advice on how to stop my 18month old male sib leg humping my wife..we think that its now become a habit,because he has learned that if he does enought we take him out for a walk.have tryed to talk to the person we had him from?would have said breeder but that would be an insult to real breeders..but have found out through time that her site says life time of help given.but thats only till money banked..if you have any ideas or no of any one in the west midlands area we could talk to that would be great.thanks dal
Hi Dal
You should consider putting in a complaint to trading standards if the breeder if the website has false information on it.
If the breeder is a member of the SHCGB – http://www.siberianhuskyclub.com, you should write to the husky club to inform them as this would be a breach of their code of ethics. This is one of the reasons why I would only ever buy a husky from a member of the SHCGB – club members have to uphold the code of ethics.
Regarding the humping problem – this could get quite serious, very quickly, and you need to fix the problem asap. Basically, it sounds like your dog is asserting itself over your wife, thinking it’s higher in the pack than your wife. Your dog needs to know it’s place in the pack or it will spiral out of control, and worst case your dog will end up in rescue or taking a one way trip to the vets.
Read some of the threads on the club bulletin board about aggression and dominance, like this one:

here’s a nice page covering dominance
