Ref all the off lead questions. I love my 5yo girl but I will not trust her off lead and and in an unfenced area. She has gotten away a couple of times and geez I have had to run a few km's to catch her. When she takes off she usually looks back over her shoulder and has a very very smug and excited look on her face, like she's thinking "I'M FFFFRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE". Actually I found the best way to catch her is just to sneak up and get within 5m of her. If she spots you outside of this range the little bugger is off again. So wait til she is sniffing something really really smelly then pounce, she freezes, gets the oh bugger look on her face then I have to carry her home....
Fences. Tina is scared of heights so she doesn't jump but if she can lean on a fence or dig under it just once that is it, she'll keep doing it. If she tries and has no luck at all she never tries again. Its a bit weird but thats what happens. Wire netting on the ground worked wonders.
I wouldn't have any other dog but. Huskies IMO are the best breed to have.
