How to stop a Husky from Escaping jumping the fence FAN FRIDAY 126

What you do Merlin? What you do? You can't just stand on me cause you feel like it. Are you excited it's Fan Friday? Hey! Are you excited it's Fan Friday? I say it's Fan Friday! I mean you crazy mutt! Crazy mutt! She's crazy! Look at how pretty Oakley looks! If you guys missed it, we actually took Oakley to the groomers the other day and we did a video on it that went up on Wednesday. You should go check that out! You can see before and after of how fluffy and fuzzy she was and how nice she looks now. Of course, I'm sure you can tell how nice she looks now. Sammy says, I have a four month old husky puppy who is really timid around people she doesn't know. We have a trainer and we're working with her but we were wondering how long did it take Shiloh to become more confident and unafraid? It took Shiloh a long time. Shiloh probably wasn't really comfortable around people she didn't know until she was around at least two years old. Wow! That sun is really bright on your face there Shelby. My biggest advice for this is take that puppy everywhere you can. We took Shiloh everywhere we could. When we lived in Arizona there was a PetSmart right near us. We always took her to PetSmart. We tried to take her everywhere we could and let her meet as many people as possible. That would be my advice. Crystal wants to know, how old is Memphis now? Memphis is almost seven months old. November the fourth she'll be seven months old. I almost said October. It's way past October the fourth. What are you doing you crazy dog? She's crazy! Brenda says, how do you check your dogs for ticks? I'm so worried about taking my dogs hiking because of ticks. That was a good throw Shelby. Shelby just threw that ball. Good throw Shelby! We use Vectra 3D on our dogs. I'm not super concerned about ticks. It usually does really well. If you are in a really bad tick area you can also get a tick collar, a prescription tick collar from your vet that you can have them wear just when you are out hiking. Are you going to throw me the ball? Thanks! That wasn't a very good throw though. Basically for checking them for ticks we pretty much lay them down, roll them over and rub them all over. Thank you for throwing me the ball Shelby. I'm sorry! That's my bad. Just basically make sure that you put your fingers through all of their fur. Trust me! If they have a tick, you'll find it. You will! Archie says, how long until it snows in Alpena? Well, we actually had snow flakes yesterday and the day before. But actual snow on the ground we don't have yet. But, north of us in the Upper Peninsula they already have four inches on the ground. So, anytime now. We really honestly can get snow anytime now. We're hoping it will wait until after Halloween but you never know. Paula says, my female dog has a nasty habit of licking my hands when I get next to her. Is there any way to stop this? Whoa! She got you, huh Oakley? Hi Oakley! Oakley is a compulsive licker. She has a tendency if you get close to her instead of wanting to be petted. She let's me do it. She let's Jamie do it. But for a lot of people, they'll go to pet her and that's what she'll do right away. She won't stop until you pull away. She'll continuously lick you. Oakley's issue with it... I know okay now. See, once she gets started she like has to keep doing it. Oakley's issue is anxiety. So not knowing a lot about... I'm sorry you can't keep licking my hand. Not knowing a lot about your dog or the situation. It could be a sign of anxiety. I don't really have a whole lot of tips on how to help it. We haven't been able to stop Oakley from doing it. We kind of just allow her to do it because it makes her comfortable and you know she's a little bit older and nowadays you know she pretty much just licks when she first meets people. So well, we just let her do it. But if anybody has any tips on that on how to get your dog to stop licking or how to help a dog with anxiety, leave them in the comments below and we'll be watching for them. Har says, how long is the right amount of time to wait to get another dog after my dog passes away? This is a personal preference question really. It's all in what you're comfortable with. Some people will get another dog right away. Some people will wait a few weeks or a few months. I know people that have even waited years. Thanks for throwing me your ball Shelby. Here you go. So it's really a personal preference and you know all in what you're comfortable with. You'll know when it's the right time. Matt says, how do you guys handle camping with the dogs? For example, when you and your husband want to go to dinner or something, what do you do with the dogs? Usually when we go camping with the dogs, we have dinner at the campground. We don't usually go out to dinner while we're camping. We make food over the fire, things like that. When we go camping, when we plan our camping trips, we pretty much plan on the dogs being with us at all times. We can leave them in the travel trailer like if we're walking around the campground. We've left them in the travel trailer and just walked around the campground but I don't like to do that very often. Most of the time if we're going to walk around, we're going to take them with us. So the majority of the time, they're with us. We have in colder months, we've let them sit in the car while we've run in to grab something to eat but we usually take things to go and then go sit in the car with them. So that's what we do. Anybody else out there, go camping with your dogs? What do you guys do in a situation like that? Jessie says, in your recipe from Monday which if you guys didn't see, we did a video on Monday, a dog treat recipe video on Monday they want to know why don't you use the pumpkin pie cans? Why do you use regular pumpkin in a can and not pumpkin pie? Pumpkin pie in a can has a lot of added sugar and seasonings and things like that, that the dogs just don't need. That's why you want to use regular canned pumpkin not canned pumpkin pie mix. Is the ball underneath there? Oh goodness! Quite a few of you this week have asked the same question about keeping our dogs in the yard having them not jump over the fence not dig under the fence, not break out of the yard. A lot of you have asked, how do I stop my Husky from doing this? If you guys don't know, we have six foot privacy fence around our yard and then part of our yard has rocks around the base. The spots where the dogs had been known to dig, we started putting rocks so it would kind of deter them. We basically don't leave the dogs outside unattended. I have a big window in my dining room if they're outside, I'm usually sitting at my dining room table watching them or outside with them. Good job! I thought she was going to throw it at me again. Basically, the biggest tip for this is don't leave them outside unattended. If they're not outside unattended, then they can't or if they go to try to jump the fence or if they start digging, you can correct them immediately. Also, I think the fact that we have more than one Husky helps them to keep each other company so they don't necessarily think about leaving the yard as often as if there was only one of them. Amy says, do you think any of your dogs can become sled dogs? Hi Amy! You must be new to this channel. If you actually go to our main channel and in the search box type in sledding, we have some videos of Oakley and Shelby and of Shiloh being sled dogs. Pulling sled. Pulling Jamie on skis. So yeah, they actually we have a sled. We have two sleds actually. I'll have to show you guys a new one when we get some snow. But yeah, they actually are sled dogs. Hopefully Memphis will be soon too. We got some mail! We got some mail! Mail! In the mail today we got a letter and a couple drawings from Krupa who has a birthday coming up so happy birthday to you! And we got a couple drawings from seven year old Sarah from California. Excuse me Memphis. Let me show them the drawings. There's one of Oakley. There's one of Shelby. You're not helping Memphis. And look! There's one of Memphis! Look Memphis! It's you! Looks just like you! And then we got a couple of drawings from Miles. That's pretty cool! And here's another drawing. Looks like the whole family and then there's Oakley and Memphis and Shiloh and Shelby. What? You guys all coming to check out the cool drawings from Miles? Thanks for sending those! And then we got a letter with a couple of adorable drawings from Ruth and Eve and they want to know, what are antler bones? Antler bones are and I don't have any because the dogs ate them all. I have some more on order. Antler bones are antlers from like deer and elk and moose. Every year the antlers from those animals naturally fall off and what happens is, the people that sell the antlers, they have people that go out in the woods and they find them and then they sand them down a little bit, clean them up and turn them into dog chews. So there are no animals harmed in the making of the antlers that we sell in our store. You guys need some more antlers because Memphis like mowed them down. Alright!
