Exercise

As a breed with a long history of service as sledge dogs, Siberian Huskies are known for their boundless energy and remarkable stamina. If you want your Siberian Husky to be healthy and happy, one thing you can do is make sure they get enough of exercise.

Daily exercise for your Siberian Husky should consist of at least an hour and a half. There are a number of ways to divide this up such that they get physical and cerebral exercise. A decent place to start is with a vigorous walk once a day, but remember that Huskies love to run.

A fenced-in area, such as a dog park, where they may run freely, is an excellent choice for letting them run off some energy. Playing activities like fetch or taking them for agility training are great ways to keep them busy and mentally engaged.

As huskies love novelty, it's best to keep their workouts interesting for them. Their energy may be better used by engaging in activities such as hiking, running, or even riding bikes (after they have received proper training). Interactive activities, puzzle toys, and obedience training help keep them from seeming bored and stimulate their brain.

It's important to keep in mind that a Siberian Husky's activity requirements might change with age and temperament. Because of their boundless energy, younger Huskies and teenagers may need more strenuous physical activity to burn them off.

When Siberian Huskies don't get enough exercise, it might cause harmful behaviors like digging and excessive barking. Also, if they aren't taught and exercised regularly, their high prey drive could lead them to pursue smaller creatures. Talk to your vet about your dog's age, health, and current fitness level before starting any new exercise program.
