______ Thank you. I really appreciate it. I know, it is my fault that she acts the way she does. I have not had any professional training. My partner teaches her the commands of sit, stay, drop etc. My problem is is that I don't know where to start. I am attending a course with the Siberian Husky Club of NSW. Hopefully, I will be pushed in the right direction through them. They will be able to help me find the right trainer. It is so disappointing when it comes to taking Lola out and about. I NEED to do something about this.

__________ Thank you. I thought Alaskan Malamutes x with Siberian Husky were called Alusky? Maybe I just made that up haha. No, not called an Alusky, they are what they are, a X breed Sounds like you have a real cracker there! I second what the others have said, training and obediance clubs! I would never recomend a harness for a sledding mix dog, that's going to start all kinds of problems. Have you ever tried a flat or martingale collar? Also what other kind of training do you do with her? Personally I wouldn't be letting her step one foot out that door until she had settled down. If I had to stand there for an hour with a loony dog bouncing around so be it. EDT, just noticed how long you walk her for. You MUST walk her more often! A X breed like yours will never be happy just hanging around in the backyard. If you don't have a lot of time in the evening try half an hour in the morning and night. ______ I have seen the martingale collar, but don't know how that works. She knows the basic. We attend a class when she was 5- 7 months. I get embarrassed when it comes to her. She makes soo much noise and jumps up at me. After that day, I never went back again :-( I will start walking her more often.

_______________________ It is just a normal harness. The harness seems to work the best. We tried the choker and the poor thing ended up vomiting. The halti was a huge failure. So, you recommend a no pull harness? It just gets very frustrating. I went to a pet store on the weekend, and I didn't see anything about a "no pull harness". I spoke with another owner of a husky/malamute and she told me that the halti works great. It is very disappointing when you can't take your dog on a walk when she mucks up.

_________ I try to walk her as often as I can. Lately, she goes for walks on Saturday and Sunday. We take her to the beach on the weekend which normally tires her out for a day or two.

_____________________________- Thank you! We tried a halti yesterday, major fail. We got to our corner and had to turn back because she ripped through it. My partner was walking Lola, and he said that she wasn't pulling but you could tell it was freaking her out! She was up on her back two legs, and trying to get the halti off of her face. I will have a look around for a harness that prevents pulling. Thank you for your advice.

I have a 13 month old Alaskan Malamute x Siberian Husky, Lola. When she knows she is going for a walk, she acts crazy and jumps and barks a lot. Once we are out on our street, she still barks and jumps up at me. Does anyone know why she barks all the way down our street and once we are out of our street, she is calm and is fine. Also, when she sees another dog, she barks like there is no tomorrow and jumps up at me. Once she is near the dog, they make eye contact and she lunges for it. Is there any way to introduce a neighborhood dog to Lola when we are on walks without this drama? Also, I use a harness, is that a good idea? What other leads do people with Alusky's us? Please help me! Alison
