Critter Details

Ragnar is a typical husky puppy– mouthy, energetic, and willing to yell about all his opinions! As a young dog, he still has a lot to learn about the world and will need someone with a sense of humor and a large amount of patience to help him navigate his new life. He has a knack for getting into anything and everything he can reach, but can learn boundaries with positive reinforcement, and he loves to run around and play with his people! OTHER PETS: Ragnar was nervous while meeting another dog at first, but once he became more comfortable he was running around & jumping all over the other dog! He’s eager to play, and would likely do well with a dog who can match his play style or a dog that’s tolerant. [Dogs Likely (Must Meet First)] ABSOLUTELY NO CATS OWNER EXPERIENCE: Huskies are notorius for finding ways out of things meant to contain them. Someone who has experience with huskies, or someone with a lot of dog experience would be best suited to provide the patience and positive support that will help Ragnar thrive. [Experienced] KIDS: Ragnar has some moderate resource guarding over food– giving plenty of warning before making it clear that he doesn’t want to be bothered while he eats. Because of this and how mouthy he can be, Ragnar would do best around older kids who can both handle him when he’s excited and understand when to let him have his own space. [12+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Ragnar is a very energetic puppy, and will absolutely find his own entertainment if he’s left to his own devices. Huskies are high energy dogs that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation daily. With the benefit of positive training, Ragnar could become an amazing adventure buddy! Multiple long walks, possibly doggy daycare, and adventures as often as possible will make sure that he has positive ways to release his energy. [Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Ragnar is still at the beginning of his learning journey, and will do best with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while he adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Ragnar not only learn his basic cues, but also open up opportunities for more adventurous activities like hiking and dog sports! It will provide a good opportunity for him to bond with his new owner as well. [Moderate / Intense] GROOMING: Huskies need routine brushing in order to maintin their coats, they shed a lot and blow their entire coats twice a year. If their coats are not maintained properly, Huskies will get matted and will need professional grooming in order to keep them healthy and happy. [Routine Brushing]
