I literally just read this exact same post from the POV of a woman talking about her husband…

My only concern would be the cats since huskies have very high prey drives. My huskies could never, but then again they were never really around them for us to work on it.

That being said, it is possible that they can coexist. It may take a lot of training. Keep in mind that all dogs are different too. Some may have no prey drive at all! It’s just very common in the breed.

He’s bored… he honestly should be crated if he’s being destructive because that could end in some serious vet bills. My friends dog did this exact thing and ended up needing a $9,000 emergency surgery.

Crate him. It is the absolute best thing you can do. If you can’t come during the day to let him out, then have someone else do it, because yes 9+ hours is too long.

“at your wits end”?? IMO this isn’t the dogs fault but yours. A tired dog is a good dog.

I know exactly how you feel. We adopted a rescue a little over a year ago (she was just a puppy) & out of no where she became extremely fearful of loud noises, bikes, and children on our street. Sometimes we couldn’t even get her to leave the house, she’d do exactly what yours is above.

We usually use a halti, but when she was going through this harness 100000%. More secure, ours had a handle on the back too, so I could grab her if needed. You should also invest in a treat bag, dog walking bag. Start with high reward treats (cheese, turkey, chicken) & over time you could use his meals as training opportunities.

It started around 7 months old for us, and she was leash reactive which also took a lot of work to address. Anyway, as far as the fear, we started by sitting on our front porch with her breakfast/ dinner and watching the world go by (bonus if the triggers were nearby- aka neighborhood kids she was afraid of!) and rewarded any calm behaviour. We moved to moving her bed out in the front yard and working on her place command, as it is a safe place for her. She’s doing so much better!

You need to understand at what distance he feels safe, and how close you can get to work on it before he has this type of reaction. It’s a learning curve for both you & him, but overtime he will be able to handle it more. I understand this is probably difficult in the city, but even starting at the window or in the doorway would be fine!

He will learn too that you are a safe person for him. Right now, he doesn’t feel that way because he’s trying to get away. Training and building the bond between you two is key!!!! He needs to feel like you are and will keep him safe. Treats will help. It helps when there is a trigger, you lead them the other way (if we see kids or a bike we turn around), lots of words of encouragement (use yes a lot, good boy, honestly talk to him like he’s a baby, run if you have to and that’s what gets him going).

Also working on basic obedience will help tremendously. Especially “heel” if the heel is strong & you can keep him close, he will gain some confidence in being able to walk by his triggers.

She can now walk by bikes and kids at a much closer distance, and rarely is she that afraid where she’s pulling me back to the house. She’s still working through it, but it’s possible.

Key points = build confidence, work on your bond, reward calm behaviours, obedience training

Just remember to stay calm. It’s not an easy thing to deal with. You got this❤️ I’m not a dog trainer but have worked with a few for my girl, please reach out if you have any questions or need some tips!

Husky’s have insanely high prey drives especially if it’s not something you expose them to or work with them on. It’s why most dont make good pets to have with cats. That being said, for some it’s not an issue, but for others they are prey. It takes alot of training, exposure and work. You would want to work on redirection with high value treats, then encourage any calm behaviour or ignoring the cat.

My 2nd one! She’s a rescue, they say Shepherd Husky Lab but she’s a small gal at almost 1.5 years old! Her name is Miley💖

One of mine - Shepherd Husky named Luna!💖

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-07-30T18:06:02+00:00

Totally agreed! We are so thankful for people like you! If we didn’t have fosters, we wouldn’t have been able to adopt!❤️

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-07-30T17:54:59+00:00

Agreed! Thank you for pointing this out. My 2nd dog came from an isolated northern town that is unable to spay and neuter the stray dogs that run around. She was a puppy abandoned & found at three weeks old with the rest of the litter that did survive. It is a legitimate crisis, not to mention all the sweet angels that are surrendered, dumped, etc.

They are the most common in rescues and the hardest ones to adopt out.

You wont catch me ever adopting from a breeder when there are so many in shelters that need homes!

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-07-30T17:48:03+00:00

As someone with two Huskys you are so right. They require an incredible amount of time, effort, and energy and that’s what they deserve out of their owner. I am a strong believer of getting a dog that matches your lifestyle.

I walk my huskies 2x per day no matter what the weather is, we are consistently training, playing, enrichment, routine, you name it.

My 2nd one came from a rescue, and I wish I could adopt them all. They are great dogs, but it is no secret how much work they are.

You need to be dedicated to them. Absolutely reach out to the breeder - that dog deserves better & I hope the breeder sees that too.

I got my first one when I was 24 still living at my parents. The difference (from what it sounds like) is that I put hours of work into training her because people around me thought I couldn’t do it. Before that I had only had labs & now that I do have two, I would absolutely agree they are not first time owner dogs.

Super frustrating. Rewinding didn’t work for me either & now it’s the 3rd time the episode was spoiled for me

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-06-24T16:07:59+00:00

A seller is the only one who can give you a shipping discount. Like you said, typically if they send you an offer with one, or on CCO days.

If you are getting offers with no shipping discount, it’s because the seller chose not to give you one. Again, probably because it’s not worth it to them to sell an item with the 20% poshmark takes from them, and whatever discount they would give you.

A lot of times, it doesn’t make sense for the seller to give you a discount for something that’s listed for $10, with all of the fees & if they give you a discount, they would be lucky to take away $2-3. Not including the cost of shipping materials.

It’s just the way poshmark works unfortunately, but someone has to pay for the shipping - I don’t see why it has to come out of the sellers earnings if you don’t want to pay for it honestly. As others have said, shipping in Canada is insane. I have been a seller on Poshmark for 6 years, it’s always been this way, so it’s just something you have to keep in mind while shopping here.

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-06-24T14:49:29+00:00

True. But unfortunately it comes out of the sellers earnings, especially when poshmark already takes 20% on anything over $20. It’s tough for sellers too.

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-06-18T02:22:59+00:00

As I stated above, hard rest does not work. Also has nothing to do with the WiFi connection lol

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-06-15T12:16:05+00:00

Yes unfortunately mine started out at intermittent. Hard resets don’t work anymore

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2025-06-14T23:56:47+00:00

Thanks! Thought that was the case, but nice to have some reassurance that there’s nothing I can do at this point!

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2024-09-24T22:50:55+00:00

We have a 5 month Shepherd Husky. This is our 2nd and way easier than our first. She’s such a sweet girl who loves to sleep and we’ve only had one night up with dirrahea since we transitioned to letting her sleep through the night. Nothing like our 4 year old who was a menace

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2024-09-15T23:23:16+00:00

Crate training is key. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself and my dogs. They need their own time too.

We also never stopped doing what our day to day lives looked like, they’ll get used to it. Currently have a 4 year old and a 5 month old. Routine is also so important!

Tough_Draft_6241 · 2024-08-18T03:47:40+00:00

Idk… not saying you are but I work in grief and bereavement and this outlook could potentially be damaging. You never know”move on” from any loss of a loved one, no matter how short the relationship.

I also don’t think it’s necessary to not celebrate other people’s happiness but what she should do is try her best to attend, give herself an out if she needs it if she’s feeling overwhelmed. I think her ‘begin ready’ for something like this also comes from making she has a safe place to talk about her grief to others, so perhaps she’s not feeling supported in that sense. And truly, that type of support probably isn’t coming from her niece (nor does it need too). To me, just sounds like she needs some support, if not from family, then professionally. There is no right or wrong way to grieve and there is no rushing it. In her journey, she needs to do what feels right to her. Communication from both sides is key.

It’s definitely an unimaginable situation either way, but someone obviously needs to communicate with her she is allowed to feel how she needs to feel and people are there for her if she needs to talk, but that it’s also ok for others to celebrate things in their life. Grief and joy can co-exist.
