Of course, maybe your new family member is different but if he's anything like the huskies I have known your hubby is going to be doing a lot of exercise. I would imagine a trainer could help too....
Good luck and keep us posted. |
We have both been taking turns walking him about 2 miles in the morning and two miles at night. I have a feeling though that once the newness wears off, this will be mostly on me, which I really am not prepared to be responsible for and made that clear when he wanted to get him. That makes me even more nervous about the prey drive. I haven't seen any aggression, just wanting to play, but I would always have that fear I think.
Gosh I wish I had never agreed to this!! I knew I didn't want this but wanted him to be happy, but I think it's really just going to make EVERYONE unhappy in the long run.
