Things You'll Need
- Dog treats
Instructions
Howl softly to your husky puppy. While huskies tend to make different vocalizations from other dog breeds ("talking"or murmuring instead of barking), your puppy may be unfamiliar with the sound of howling. Accustom her to the sound by howling to her.
Reward your puppy with a treat and affection when he replies to your howl with one of his own.
Choose and use a hand sign when offering the vocal howl prompt, such as touching your ear or tapping your nose. Make it a gesture that you don't use commonly, so the dog realizes it is a prompt and doesn't get confused. Reward with food and affection when your puppy recognizes the non-verbal prompt by herself.
Teach a cue for silence at the same time as you teach your puppy to howl so you can control his vocalizations.
