DO HUSKIES KILL CHICKENS ? | #AskGTTSD 287 | Siberian Husky
it’s time for being here that adorable
little head-tilt Memphis aren’t you guys
so if you’re new to fan Friday this is
Shelby
this is Oakley this is Memphis my name
is Jess and fan Friday is a day where we
answer questions submitted by you guys
if you leave a question sitting down in
the comments below using the hashtag Sgt
TSD next time we do fan Friday we just
might pick an answer one of your
questions let’s get to it all right
first thing is first for those of you
asking yes
Oakley has a birthday coming her
birthday is May the 8th and again just
like Memphis if you want to send
something to Opie for her birthday I’ll
put the Pele box on the screen and you
can send her a card a letter a package
whatever you guys feel like you want to
send to Oakland for her birthday Oakley
will be turning about 13 years old as
our guest and update number 2 if you are
following us on any of our social media
sites or at youtube.com slash snow dogs
vlogs which is our vlogging channel you
may have noticed that Oakley was not
feeling too good she is doing much
better Shelby now has whatever the heck
Oakley has but Shelby doesn’t seem to be
feeling as bad as Oakley did when she
first got it so well we’re hoping as you
can tell Chevy doesn’t feel too bad so
far Memphis isn’t showing any signs but
the dogs had an upset belly so hopefully
they will all be feeling better soon and
one more thing before we jump into the
questions
the limited edition cuttlebug Memphis
shirts are available I believe there is
only six days left to get one I will put
a link down in the video description
below so you can get your own limited
edition cuttlebug Memphis t-shirt Emory
eight to nine says how do you stop your
dogs from attacking chickens my husky is
four months old and has gotten ahold of
two chickens so far she didn’t kill them
our trainer has told us there’s nothing
we can do since its quote-unquote a
husky thing which I refuse to believe
and I came to the best source to ask
well I hate to tell you this but killing
chickens is quote-unquote a husky thing
Huskies have an extremely high prey
Drive they like to chase small animals
and honestly oakley’s cut a chipmunk
Memphis is caught a chipmunk
Shelby’s caught a chipmunk
she’ll be caught a bird too they like to
chase small animals things that move
fast and chickens van when they move and
their little wings are flapping around
that’s just a game to Huskies
can it be stopped yeah keep the dog away
from the chickens make sure that the dog
doesn’t have access to the chickens
don’t let the dog run around at the same
time as the chickens the other thing too
is make sure that your dog is getting a
massive amount of exercise so they’re
tired and also mental stimulation so
that they hopefully won’t want to kill
the chickens but I will tell you if your
dog has already done it there’s a good
chance they’ll try to do it again so I
would say the best thing you can do is
keep them separated I mean sounds like
it sucks maybe get a kennel for your
chickens make sure that the dog is not
along with the chickens and hopefully
that’ll save some chickeny lives
the first question today comes from
Kelsey hey Jess I noticed in a lot of
your hiking videos you only use a short
leash for the girls do you ever use a
retractable leash a deluxe yes or no in
which do you prefer a long long time ago
I used to use retractable leashes until
one I got rope burned with it in two we
had one that the breakdown it didn’t
work real well so I kind of learned the
hard way that retractable leashes can be
extremely dangerous they’re not real bad
when you’re out in the middle of nowhere
and you’re trying to use them but I
don’t like the way they hold in your
hands I feel like I don’t have a good
grip on them like I do what are you
doing like I do with the leash
personally I prefer the leashes I use
when we’re hiking hiking I use short
forefoot leashes and ask adoring belt
when I walk the dogs and that way I can
clip them to the belt when we’re walking
around in town and we’re going for not
as far I usually use my six-foot leashes
so they have a little bit more freedom
and that’s all so usually when I’m
walking them with Jamie if I’m walking
them by myself I use my four foot
leashes and my belt because I feel like
I have more control over them
retractable leashes can be nice but they
can be extremely dangerous if you’re
walking your dog and another dog comes
at you and you don’t hit the brake rate
or the brake doesn’t work or the leash
itself decides to
burn your hand as you’re trying to catch
your dog they can be very dangerous so
they’re retractable leashes are not a
leash that I personally would advise
using I like I said I’m more of a fan of
short leashes when walking dogs you can
also get really long training leashes
for when you take them out to like open
areas and use those but again I wouldn’t
suggest using the long training leashes
when there’s other dogs around because
there could be tangles and things could
happen so you definitely want to be
careful like I said I like short leashes
continuation of last week’s fan Friday
Alexa wants to know do your dogs where
you’re cut where their collars inside
the camper when you go camping or do you
take them off when we are camping the
dogs do wear their collars inside the
camper but they are never unsupervised
somebody’s always with them in the
camper when they have their collars on I
don’t like taking their collars off in
the camper because we’re usually in
areas we’ve never been before and if
they do get away they definitely want to
have their collars so people can find
them and bring them back to us Annie
said you mentioned that Shelby was very
high-energy when she was young I wanted
to know when she started to mellow out
and calm down a bit and when did you
notice it Shelby was a very high-energy
husky puppy she was very destructive she
liked to eat everything she didn’t
listen very well she probably calmed
down like actually calmed down by the
time she was 4 she’ll be actually didn’t
have free roam of the house until she
was 4 Memphis had free roam by the time
she was like a year old we didn’t have
to close the kennel door for her and
actually we ended up just getting rid of
her kennel because she didn’t really
need it anymore but Shelby was almost 4
a little over 4 I believe before she had
free roam of the house so some husky is
just mature later in life Memphis is
pretty mature I mean she just turned 4
but she was probably mature by the time
she was two and then Oakley just wise
you’re just wise right Hannah wants to
know what are the first few tricks you
would recommend starting your dogs off
with a sit a stay in a lay down those
are usually the first three things that
I try to teach my dogs is sit stay and
lay down this dog never learned lay down
real well that one
that but she never learned it real well
but sit I think it’s most important and
then getting them to stay if you can get
them to wait and you can prepare to do
something and get them you know a waiter
stay you can prepare to do something
else I think those will help you out the
most once you conquer those recall would
be the next thing because you want them
to come to you when called so those
would be the few things I would try to
Train first we get some menu where you
got some mail we actually got quite a
bit of mail some of this is Memphis
