Have you ever had the problem of “when the Siberian Husky sees its food bowl, it rushes over in a hurry, no matter how much you scold it”, it’s true that Siberian Huskies are not very obedient dogs. So how can we train our Siberian Husky to wait quietly before eating? Here are some tips on how to train your Siberian Husky to eat:
1. Learn to stop your Siberian Husky from eating, when you feed it, your Siberian Husky may already be impatiently waiting. But don’t let it eat immediately. Instead, give the command “sit” first, and then put the food bowl in front of it when it completes the action. If your Siberian Husky is in a hurry to eat, you can say the command “wait” while taking the food bowl away, and start the training from the “sit” command again.
Repeat this several times, and the smart Siberian Husky will understand what its owner means. Gradually, your Siberian Husky will not be in a hurry to eat, because it knows that this is not what its owner agrees to.
2. Teach your Siberian Husky to sit before eating, when you give the command “sit” at the same time, put your hand on the dog’s butt and press its hind legs down. You can also hold the food bowl above the dog’s head, and the dog will naturally look up and gaze upwards, with its hind legs hanging down. In this instant, it is very easy to press its butt down to the ground.
If your Siberian Husky has a collar, you can grab the collar and lift it up, then let its hind legs touch the ground. When your Siberian Husky does the action correctly, you can say “good” or give it some food as a reward, and pat its head or body.
3. Related training techniques, when training a Siberian Husky to “wait,” the owner can lift the dog’s mouth away from the food bowl by grabbing the collar while giving the command. Start by rewarding the dog immediately after a short period of time without movement, and gradually increase the length of time and distance over time.
Once the dog has mastered the basics of “sit” and “wait,” then allow it to eat. Gradually, you can gradually increase the amount of time your Siberian Husky must wait, and after a period of training, you can train the dog to have the habit of always seeking permission from its owner before doing anything.
Of course, you can also train it to “sit” and “wait” in other situations, such as while out walking the dog, but the effect is always better when the dog is eagerly waiting to eat before going on a walk.
