"Exercise is the key to these dogs, as boredom is where most of their destructive habits come from."


I find this policy applies to most big "working" dogs
Looks like yours are enjoying pulling your sled and running in the cold snow

Hyper activity also comes from food coloring in dog food as well as kids food.
These color agents are toxic and some times even carcinogenic. makes them hyper active, the liver has to work very hard to process this staff.
Stay away from dog food. Give them real food if you care about them, so they will not be a psycho puppy anymore. At leas try for 30 days you will see the difference.

It is not good to give huskies / malamute REAL food as in people food. Everyday because are instinctive hunters and will start to want to hunt for that food. Being out in the country ourselfs we do not want our Huskies to go chase the neighbours cattle, attack there ducks, chickens or rabbits. We only feed ours Blue Buffalo Wilderness dog food & we do not have any psyhco puppies.

Beautifully dogs there Colin, where did you find your sled? I would like to find a couple fairly inexpensive sleds myself. The wife has been looking for good quality pulling harnesses as well.

K 1st Grizz PLEASE NO PUPPY PICTURES! I am not allowed another dog soo pics could cost me a wife!

2nd one of the best things we have done is train our Boxer to run on the treadmill....days like today (-30) are so much easier when he can get a run in where it is warm. Without a tonne of exercise he is a house shredder!
