Huskies sometimes are goofy, but sometimes very intelligent. However, no matter how smart a dog is, it cannot understand what its owner says. Instead, it can only interpret the owner’s intentions based on their actions, tone of voice, and facial expressions. So, here’s how to praise and criticize a husky from Taogou.com.
Be sure to use a clear and distinct tone when praising and criticizing your Siberian Husky during training. Don’t be vague, so your dog can understand whether it did something right or wrong. When your dog does something well, use praise and encouragement in a gentle and enthusiastic tone. If your dog does something wrong, use a low, decisive, even harsh tone to let it know that what it did was wrong.
If your Siberian Husky is not performing well on a particular training exercise, but is not doing anything wrong, speak to it in a positive and encouraging tone of voice. Critical tones can make it dislike the training and may also affect its self-confidence. Additionally, you should never scream or be harsh with your dog. Being strict does not mean using a loud voice. Dogs have sensitive hearing, so whether or not your dog understands you has nothing to do with the volume of your voice and everything to do with the tone of your voice.
Proper tone of voice can help Siberian Huskies understand whether they did something right or wrong, but a goofball is still a goofball, and even if they understand what you’re saying, they’ll still cause trouble from time to time.
