hilarious that my first thought was “huh, Loki is a REALLY fitting name for a husky” and it belongs to the most well-behaved, quietest husky I’ve seen on this channel
This is how my husky is, she is part golden lab as well so she is a golden husky with one blue eye. She doesn’t bark at all, very chill and calm. But I raised her since she was a puppy and it was really hard to train her. She’s always been calm, but it was potty training and not chewing stuff up that was really hard.
@@procrastinator9My Husky was the same way, he was my first dog, my dad brought him home when my brother was 4yo, I was a year old and he was 8 weeks old, we had him for 16 long wonderful years…he was the sweetest, most lovable, dog who let us, and then my two younger siblings love on him and he loved us right back…he was just another one of the kids, he would sleep with us most nights, he loves his treats and he would “talk” as husky’s do, all the time which we all loved…he definitely wasn’t your typical Husky… I will always have a love for the breed, but I don’t think I’d ever hit that Husky lottery twice…so my Wolf, will probably be the only Husky I will ever own…❤
I have 2 huskies, Sasha and Vega. Both great. They speak when they want stuff, such as love, pets, walks, food, water, toys, backyard poop, etc. Sasha nudges feet and goes to the thing he wanta. Vega barks, goes to the thing, and waits. If we are in the restroom or need a minute, they grace us with a few vocalizations, wait, and then say "LOOK MAN, I GOTTA CRAP ITS IN HERE OR OUT. MAKE YOUR CHOICE."
😂 Best dogs ever. Love your comments. Beautiful and soooo true! 🤣😆😂 I had a small dog, a Papillion, who was just as intelligent. Loving all these husky videos.
I remember seeing how frantic and loud Loki was in his first grooming session. I never would've thought this drama queen would ever mature to be this calm.
Oh that stinks… I had a Husky mix that looked only like the Husky parent but acted calm and sweet, never destructive yet independent. I assume that was the other parent’s attributes 😇 he was an angel
My Thor was called The Devil dog by most who met him. I would simply explain, He is not evil , just misunderstood as he would jump on the table and eat the food off their plates or jump all over then with muddy paws. I suppose i could have tried to set boundries or call a priest for an exercism , but neither one of us cared for rules or was interested being possesed by demons so our escapades of inappropriate behavior went on for the best 19 years of my life. I miss him every second of every day . 🚬🐕
@@wesleywashington1251The dog didn’t speak english? Let me get back to the scientific community, they need to know about this shocking new discovery right away! Thank you kind genius, you have shown the way to these poor feeble minds, who were all wallowing in ignorance before you, with your glorious mind, corrected them.
I have owned 8 Huskies and my vet commented that she was the chillest Husky he had ever seen. She was also the furriest white her pad fur almost 2” long. She was probably the smartest dog but also the most stubborn that I have ever had but also manipulative, devious and mischievous. Quite a character but one of my other Huskies was the most lovable and talkative of all of mine. The breed grows on you and I have told people that they are intelligent dogs with a cat’s attitude. However, their independent streak is probably what saved many sled mushers who refused to take a direction in near zero visibility that would have led to disaster.
So true...they are more sweet, joyful than difficult. I had a husky and I am still consider myself so blessed to have his spirited, active, reactive , vibrant self...love huskies!!!!
My Loki is a cat and he is super well behaved at the vet. He always gets compliments from the Vet techs for how good he was and I and my mom are always like "Loki was a good boy?!?!?"
They actually appreciate the stripping/ de-shedding treatment, but I'm amazed he let you trim the "snowshoes" between his pads, especially with an electric clipper. A truly well mannered dog, that is no doubt a joy to have as a canine companion.😊
The only huskys I’ve ever seen were very well behaved, I used to deliver packages and there was this husky who was the nicest sweetest dog I’ve ever met. Even listened to instructions from me, who barely knew the dog
When I trimmed my husky Tundra’s claws he’d scream like I was killing him, even before I held his paw, just the sight of the clippers. He lived to be 16 years old and never got used to nail trimming. He was extremely talkative right up to the end. Except for nail trimming he was a Lovely fella, I miss him.
My husky is the exact same. He will legit lay down in the bathtub at the groomers and roll over on his back. Just as calm as this one. Except he shakes and doesn't wait for the towel. 😂😂
I met a 9 month old huskie last week called Freida and she was totally calm and chill she didnt song the song of her people despite me trying to get her too. Her owner said shes chilled in the house so long as she gets her exercise. She was cream with amber eyes absolutely gorgeous ❤
@@Vladi48mir She also pointed out that she hardly could clip his nails because they were already so short, pointing out that either the owners have already clipped them or they do A Lot of running/walking.
I read that huskies have a much higher level of self-awareness than any other dogs. So I like to think, that he just realized how incredibly good and well taken care of he looks after grooming, that's why he allows it so quietly.
It's like my cat 😂 she doesn't really like baths, but she allows them because she realized she feels better afterwards, smells so clean and her fur gets so fluffy, which means more praises and petting 😂😂😂
Edit jus because I know some people are against bathing cats: gotta add I only started bathing her because she has really fluffy paws and butt so she gets them dirty often. Now I bathe her more regularly because she's 12 and has trouble grooming herself. When I say she doesn't like them it's not like she screams or tries to escape. she just sits there but I can tell she's not happy.
My husky will do anything for food even take a bath an easy to train she was right she does act like a cat she constantly clean her self and she is very smart
It is because he is named Loki that I get it. Louis, above all else are Drama Queens and the MUST look good. So he knew the importance of this appointment 😂
When I adopted my Husky, I knew about the energy, the singing, and their tendency to escape, as well as their stubbornness. What I didn’t know was that they’re not really food motivated. At least mine wasn’t. Training her was basically impossible, bc I could never land on a reward that kept her interested enough. So I settled on just exercising her as much as I could so she’d be too tired to cause trouble, which I have to say worked quite well. She was 5 years old when I adopted her, but unfortunately I lost her just two years later due to bone cancer. She was still my good girl no matter what. I miss you, Lexa.
I have a standard poodle who isn't really food motivated. Attention and play however, is very motivating to him. He's like a goofy annoying best friend who all says and does the wrong thing at the wrong time until you end up just having to laugh it off
My Husky is a unicorn Husky & actually quite well trained. I didn't use food, I used affection and praise to train him. It worked just as well...at least as much as a Husky can be trained. He's also part of timberwolf, and he's very suspicious about food. He'll often turn his face away from treats that he likes if he isn't in the mood to eat them and never gobbles his food. My Mika is 7 years old. I don't even want to think about losing him...
It's actually the only way I've seen Husky's behave. Must be the rest of the owners that she's referring to. More likely that the rest of the owners DON'T know what they're doing
The huskies I knew growing up were extremely well behaved when their owners were around... but if the owner left the dogs out and wasn't outside with them, they would take off running. If they were left in the house alone, they would get into all kinds of trouble. The second their owner or people they knew around they would act like the perfect dogs lol
I am glad that my half-husky likes learning stuff, so even though he is stubborn and not food motivated, he still learns stuff, especially if it makes him feel like it is making walkies more enjoyable for me.
Our Husky refused to play fetch. She would run after the ball and then demand that you come get it once she got it. Our cat, however, loved playing fetch with a foil scrunchy ball. Poor thing would literally be panting from exhaustion after a few minutes of tossing the ball and bringing it back. However, he was pretty terrible on counters. The cat would knock things over if he got up there. The husky, however, (A 45 - 55 pound dog!) would walk across the counters without disturbing a thing. When she wasn’t being yelled at to “Get DOWN!”, that is. (My Father-in-law would always just grab his camera when he’d catch her. Thanks dad. Super helpful.)
I had a Samoyed & she would just look at me with her big brown eyes: as if to say I feel your pain ,But I need to sleep now. Grooming : she allowed 45 mins every second day. Loved walking in our local river HER BEAUTIFUL WHITE COAT!!
Is it common for a dog to behave well when you are cutting their nails though? I was under the impression they would get jumpy or skiddish when you attempt to clean them, let alone cutting something.
Hey...don't be dogging him out.. A beauty with brains. And a ph D in cool....he already knows everything so training is not necessary...maybe u need to teach him something he doesn't know.. :)
@@seveneyes77 You would more than likely be able to tell through their body language and when you interact with them, unless you don't know dogs very well. But there's definitely tons of ways to love on them, comfort them, praise them, etc! Hugging isn't the only way. In fact, I'd argue its not the best way when grooming a dog. Even though its not your dog, there are times when it IS appropriate and appreciated to love on them. If you dropped off your dog to the groomer and he was nervous or just not his happy self, would you want the groomer to continue grooming him without comforting or praising him? Or would you appreciate them keeping your dog comfortable and attending to their needs? Are there times or dogs when it wouldn't be appropriate to hug them? Of course! But that's when you need to do it in other ways. Dogs, not only love the affection and support, they need it. That's my opinion as a certified dog trainer. Its fine if you disagree. Just sharing my thoughts.
I was watching over my friend’s husky, also named Loki, and he’s a rescue so he’s extra stubborn. He likes to get out all the time. He always comes back though. We had a rough start and we were building each other’s trust. A bite to the hand later, he listens to me now lol. My friend’s family can’t even get him to listen but within 2 weeks he started obeying me and still does. He’ll sit, wait, allow me to clip and unclip the leash, not go inside until I give him the okay… Some of the canine rescues are up for grabs and they offered Loki to me but I unfortunately can’t take him but I would in a heartbeat if I could. He really is a good boy 😢 I’m tiny but surprisingly good with dogs requiring a strong alpha presence, especially the big ones. I love huskies and German Shepard’s with all of my heart.
Talking doesn't make them "bad".. which is what is being implied by your comment. Huskies are suppose to be loud, & talkative. The idea that quiet is good, and being loud is bad, reminds me of the oppression parents do to children, and the oppression men do to women. People seriously only want silent beings in their life. Children are "bad" if they aren't quiet. Women are "unattractive" if they aren't voiceless, and now dogs too? Damn.
@@mrpeachees2388ruh all there saying is there more behaved. Unless they actually said that being talkative is bad which they dident. They are being nice and you just do this? Plus it’s not that deep. I’m not saying dogs should be quiet. But seriously you took it way to seriously for something that was just meant to be a positive comment. And bringing women into this wasent necessary at all. Just say your point. It makes me feel like your just waiting for someone to say something so you can argue. Again not trying to be rude. And please don’t argue back.
Her: “Huskies are hardest to train” Loki: “Aah Yes… my less, sophisticated brethren. But I proclaim to thee here I am no such beast. I rather enjoy being pampered.”
Out of all the Huskies I've bathed ....... This is the most polite and chill dog to have in your tub. Shoot , even beats other breeds that normally are easy to deal with. What a good dogo
they aren't hard to train in the least, if you see a spastic husky that means they have a worthless owner that doesn't properly see to the dog's needs and has no trust bond with them. Husky are some of the most intelligent, loyal, and approval seeking companions. They are extremely easy to train for work of any kind and often don't even require a motivating toy, or even motivating treats. They seek entirely to please their trusted pack mates by performing tasks and being praised for it. They even know how laughter works and will attempt to make humans laugh to break tension or just for play. People who think Husky are difficult are just zombie fukpotatos who don't understand that there is a fking being looking back at them through those eyes. Not just a stuffed animal that poops and sings.
@@ZennExile no i have a husky and formed a trusting bond and trained her fully but she still turned out to be a demon. They are no doubt loveable and form strong bonds but no where near as trainable as other working dogs and thats a fact
@@kilodelta928 no possible way it could just be you? Not even a teeny weeny tiny one? I guess you solved the case then. With your singular dog experience out of millions. The purity of your personal journey overcomes the need for further research. We've uncovered a universal truth due entirely to your unique and eloquent perspective. Praise be to us all that you should appear now, in this time of great uncertainty to set the record straight once and with finality. Husky are untrainable demons. Thank you for blessing us with the depths of your cataclysmic wisdom oh great and all knowing one. We prostrate ourselves before you with reverence and humility oh beaming light how you've pierced our darkness... Yeah I told her straight like that!
@@ZennExile it is not just anedoctal. Any honest dog handler/trainer knows this to be true and will advise against first time dog owners getting a Husky. Its a difficult breed, not to say they are not trainable but they are less trainable then most working breeds.
If you want a cat in a cat sized dog body look no farther than a lhapso ahpso Maltese, naps 16 hours a day, loves to run around the house and play at 2 am.
Since he wanted you to hold his paw during the groom, it doesn't surprise me he was a good boy about having his feet groomed. He might even find it comforting.
mine doesn’t cry as well, when she showers she just wants to move away from water but after a few times commanding her, she stops. she’s a pretty calm husky n 6 months old
I have had two huskies over the years, my wife tried to give the first one a bath it didn’t work out very well, the second one we never even tried because the dog would not go into a house!
Loki is the calmest, sweetest husky I have ever seen and I would hold his paw any time he wanted. His owners are lucky to have him and obviously took time to train him to have such a well mannered boy. Good boy cologne is the perfect name!
@@rebekah4761 From having one like this (doesn't talk much, very well trained). It's half and half. I don't think you can necessarily train a husky to be quiet if that's not their personality. Ours is just naturally reserved and calm. Since they don't necessarily care about food, it seems cruel but it's much easier to punish than to reward. Not punish in a mean way, but by, for example, not giving any attention. It's also much easier to train them to do things they enjoy. Of the basic command, ours only knows "come here" and "sit". That's because he doesn't really care for tricks. However, we did train him to pull us on bikes, and huskies are bred to pull, so he's very well trained for that purpose. He knows left, right, go, stop, slow, fast, no , grass, pavement, which is basically all you need. But it did take 4 years to get to that point. 4 years of almost daily training
@@flavorlessquark8614 mine knows sit, lie down, stay (when she needs to wait for food), come (when she wants to), speak, whisper, shake, high five, say hi (wave), sit pretty, and to go take my other dog to go potty (which is different than going for her own sake, because they don't usually go alone).
Toys!!! That’s how I trained my husky. It’s definitely not impossible, you just have to figure out what works best for them. Some treats worked but using toys and praise was what got my girl to where she is now.
@@Sienisota at first, yes. Then just like with treat training you start piling on more and more behaviors until you don’t necessarily need the toy anymore. Training heel/leash manners is the most difficult to do with toys, we had to find really nice treats and give her a variety because she’d get bored if you used the same treats repetitively. When she was little, training time was the same as play time and was slowly expanded to now where she’s a pretty well rounded dog. She acts like the husky in the video when being groomed as well which is awesome. ETA: for quick rewards we used treats that we tested in her and if she didn’t want that praise worked very well. Training her at first was a slower process but she picked up behaviors faster than any other dog I’ve ever owned. You can’t say they’re not intelligent dogs lol, just often times they use that intelligence to do whatever they want instead of what you tell them.
