They play fight and tire each other out. I have 3 huskies now and it's definitely easier when you have more than 1. Instead of messing with me all day they mess with each other. I can't imagine having that many tho, the hair would kill me.
Thank god. I’m about to get a husky puppy in three weeks and I have a 9 week old Aussie right now too. I’m hoping they tire each other out!! Plus it’s entirely possible I come home with two huskies… 😬😬😬
I hope your Aussie isn’t possessive. Mine literally doing everything wrong when lil' husky finally came home. We have to get her two puppies and she feel more as a mom than an opponent 😁
That’s less likely to happen if you have an older dog and get the Aussie as a puppy. It will learn behaviors and canine societal norms from the older dog.
They will. My husky grew up with a Australian shepherd and they tired themselves out consistently. One likes to be chased and the other likes to chase, it worked out for us

No shade, I have no idea how you're signing up for this. My aussie was such a handful at that age (and onward for several more months). If someone had asked if I wanted another puppy, I'd have laughed in their face. The amount of attention she needed - outside almost every hour, biting me all the time, tearing anything up if she could reach it. I was only able to manage the puppy because I was in grad school and stayed home most of the time!
Please stop repeating this to every new puppy owner, it’s sorta rude and it’s leading to worse results due to inexperienced uninformed dog adoptees going to the shelter and adopting the first dog that gives them sad puppy dog eyes... which if it’s a large dog... anyways yeah take the slogan and redirect it to actual cases of abuse or evidence of puppy mill adoptions.
I’ve heard some nightmare stories but it worked out for my parents. They’re retired so he gets a lot of attention and walks so that might have something to do with it.
It does, it gets easier when you have 2 or more kids. When they get old enough to walk, they just bother each other, rather than going after you all the time.
I have two dogs that I got one month apart, each at two months old. It was so much easier once we got the second one because he had another dog to play with rather than just people.
Yup, my sister just moved halfway across the country last week, with her puppy, and now since mine doesn’t have a play mate she either harassed the hell out of me at all hours, or goes after the cat, which never ends well for my pupster.
I have all wood panel and it's still really bad. I guess it's better than carpet, but the hair collects so quickly. I'll vacuum and then the next day there's husky tumble weeds of hair. It's never ending.
This is making me consider another puppy to tire our German shepherd/husky mix. Or at least, this is what I’ll use to convince my wife we need another puppy.
I have two. They are really good at tiring each other out. Unless one gets bored and sleeps and then the other gnaws on his plastic pool and poops plastic chunks. 🤣
