Will Huskies Come Back?

It's true. "Huskies are a very independent, headstrong breed that has been bred to think on their own out in the tundra," she says. "If they have the opportunity, they are definitely prone to run off on their own."

How do I get my Husky to come back?

Start adding some distance between you and your dog as she is ready for the challenge. You can also stop running every time, using that tactic only if she fails to come immediately. If your Husky is really on the ball, try calling her from another room and reward very generously if she comes right to you!

What do you do when your Husky runs away?

If they are escaping from your yard, then think about putting up some fencing. Make sure it is built deep into the ground as despite their size, Huskies can squeeze through remarkably small gaps. If they can't escape, you will find your dog quickly gives up trying. Try tethering your Husky to a long leash.
