Educate yourself. This step is best accomplished before you decide to get a husky, so you can be sure this is the type of dog for you. Many husky owners have issues with hyperness in their dogs because they are unaware of the husky's needs and basic personality traits. Buy a book on huskies or look at articles about the breed online. If you look online, only look at expert websites, such as those created by animal shelters or rescues, not at casual forums or blogs.
Determine which of your husky's needs are not being met. Many times both the physical activity and socialization needs are not being met.
Incorporate more physical activity into your dog's daily routine. If you jog, bike or hike, take your husky with you. Consider involving yourself and your dog in sled or cart racing. Remember that these dogs were bred to pull sleds for miles through snow, so a sedate walk around the neighborhood every evening might not be sufficient exercise.
Ensure your husky has sufficient socialization. Huskies need nearly constant attention in order not to feel lonely. If you are gone from home consistently or for long periods of time, it is imperative a person or another dog is there to keep your husky company. When you are home, make sure you are spending time interacting with your dog. Interactions should be involved. For instance, simply petting your dog while you watch TV will only be sufficient if you have already spent time playing or exercising with it earlier in the day.
How to Help My Siberian Husky's Hyperness
Many inexperienced Siberian husky owners have difficulties with their dogs being hyperactive. This hyperactivity is often a result of the dog not getting the exercise or social interaction that it needs. Huskies are in the working dog group, which means they were bred for athleticism and high endurance. They are also extremely social dogs, so not only do they need a lot of activity, they also need a lot of attention to keep them happy.
