Siberian Huskies (Barron'S Dog Bibles)

This exciting and dynamic series for dog lovers and prospective dog purchasers discusses specific dog breeds in detail, describes each breed’s physical traits, history, and behavior characteristics, and instructs on training methods. Extra features include sidebars with breed facts and helpful hints, quick tips on training, and 150-to-200 attractive color photos. A hidden spiral binding ensures that the book will stay open and flat at any desired page. A DVD is enclosed with each book. It presents an informal dog training course for new owners, describing methods for house training, walking dogs on a leash, and teaching obedience to hand signals and vocal commands. The Siberian Husky is an independent dog who needs regular training, though he is especially receptive to positive reinforcement methods. Originally bred as sled dogs, Siberians are physically active by nature, and when kept as pets they require frequent play activities.
