Thanks for the compliment and bump anon. He definitely is :)

And he's generally very well trained/behaved, but he doesn't give a single fuck about fetch and some days going on a run with him just isn't feasible so another means of tiring him out would be good. Plus since he's too smart for his own good figured he would enjoy ability.

that's just what happens when you cross a husky with a pitbull. see you when you get mauled next week

>falling for the meme
oh silly anon

and my dog is better behaved than just about any dog we've met while on a walk or run, all the labradors lunging at the end of their leashes or goldenpoodleshits dragging their soccer mom owners down the street. I think I'll take my chances

that's because the labs have shitty owners. the aggressiveness of a pitbull combined with the boundless energy of a husky is destined for disaster no matter the owner. Hell, I'm pretty sure the bible explicitly states "Thou shalt not own Pit Bulls unless thou wisheth relentless fury upon thyself as retribution for thy ignorance of Sabbath Day"

>the aggressiveness of a pitbull
I knew pitbulls are prone to dog aggression when I got him as a puppy so I've worked on that extensively, and as a result he's one of the most friendly dogs at the dog park. And he's great with people too. Calm down a bit dude. I'm managing my dog just fine

I will say that owning a husky is a pain in the ass but he's turned out to be a great dog after putting in some work. I just want advice on a amateur fucking agility training because he and I would both likely enjoy it and it's good alternative exercise. Not a lecture on things I already am aware of

I'm sorry I just wanted to make up a bible quote

huskies were bred to pull sled. so mushing would be a good idea to get into.
also going on "walks" is a complete joke for dogs, especially sled dogs. whats wrong with you
it's interesting sniffing and marking things, but it's useless when you want to properly tire them out

try biking in the interim, and eventually maybe mushing if your dog takes to it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushing

No high energy dog actually needs to let that energy out through physical exercise. Tiring out a regularly fit dog that way is practically impossible.
As long as you go for just regular walks to satisfy their wandering lust you can tire the dog out to the point of going straight to sleep as soon as he gets home, by doing very simple mental exercises. 20 minutes of focused sniffer training while in the park will do the trick for almost any dog.

>No high energy dog actually needs to let that energy out through physical exercise
confirmed never having owned a husky

they were bred for high intensity endurance cardio activity.
sled pulling is like running an uphill marathon with a full backpack.

a sedate husky will not be a happy husky

For the vast majority of husky owners there is no practical way to actually drain the dog physically, and its also not necessary.
A dog that can drain its energy through exercise is happy about that regardless of whether it was physical or mental. It doesnt matter if it was bred to retrieve, point, shake little animals to death, or pull sleds. If you can get it to work until its tired it will be happy.

make him pull a sled while fighting bulls i guess?
seriously, you're fucked
and if you bred him on purpose, you just get what you deserve desu
take good care of doggo plz

>>2304661
Definitely not doing biking. I hate biking so much. No biking.

>>2305408
>mental exercises to tire out
Works to an extent but not really. He definitely needs his exercise

>>2305433
That's kind of what I figured. I take him on almost daily runs plus run around time in a 6 acre yard with another dog but figured he could use more

>>2305441
>bred him on purpose
what? No fuck that. I love him, but I'd never be dumb enough to breed a pit and a husky

my parents got him when he was an 8 week old puppy, and when he pooped on the carpet as an 8 week old puppy doee, they didn't want him anymore and made him my responsibility

as I've said I love him to pieces, but I absolutely never want another husky or husky mix again. I've had pits just fine, but huskies are just neurotic.

There are specialized dry land mushing rigs, if you have the money to sink. They are pricey though. Lots and lots of people tie their dogs to kick scooters instead of bikes, if that is nore your thing.

>Dog that can virtually run for every waking hour
>How do I get rid of this extra energy?

You dont, and certainly not through exercise, that is utterly futile. Going on runs with you is like taking a nap for him. I already said this, but you have to keep him drained and happy through other means unless you want your whole life to revolve around exercising your dog.

>he doesn't give a single fuck about fetch
Put something delicious in something he can't open. When he has the object, call him and give him some of it. If he won't listen, use the leash gently. After a few times he should have learned, that bringing you this object will give him food.
You can combine that with other agility exercises or tricks.

There is no need to buy agility equipment. There are plenty of diys online, but you can take anything for basic training. If no kids are around, you can use a playground or you can let him jump on benches, run around tires. But really, if you want to drain his energy, playing fetch would be the easiest thing to do.
