For the most part I'm good with car and animal related questions, but I'll answer other stuff if its something I feel I know enough about. Ask me anything, and I'll give it my best shot.
Just dont ask me anything about the chances of you being pregnant.
Or if s/he likes you or not.
Or if you're fat. (I'll say yes no matter what)

How hard is it to potty train a siberian huskey? How do I train them? btw im 13/F. Ive trained my chihauhauh to stand on his hind legs and spin on command and to sit on hand command and also to hop and walk on hind legs. So how hard would it be for me to train a siberian huskey? (puppy)
Oh, and do u think renesemee (RA-nez-za-may) is a good name for a girl puppy?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT NAME YOUR DOG RENESEMEE. Dont get me wrong, I liked the books(for the most part) BUT SHE KILLED IT BY NAMING HER RENESEMEE.
Anywho... I actually dont like paper training like the previous poster suggested, cause it lets the dog know that its ok to go to the bathroom in the house. Even if you do successfully get the dog to consistently go outside, it still has that thought that its ok to go in the house.
Youre better off keeping a close eye on her when inside, and taking her out VERY often (preferably to a designated area) and stand there with her until s/he does its business, then reward and praise alot. They get the idea very quickly that that is the proper place to go do their buisness.
I also disagree with your not wanting to crate train. Done PROPERLY it works wonders. If you do it right, the dog will come to think of the crate as its "safe place" kind of like its den. My dog voluntarily sleeps in her crate, and its where she hides when she gets spooked by something.
Also, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING INTO. Do LOTS of research on the breed you want. One thing youll find about the husky is that they need TONS of physical and mental exercise. They need more than one LONG walk/run a day, or other type of exercise (agility, frisbee, etc...) and if they don;t get enough then they quickly develop bad habits/issues.
S/he'll be fine in the summer if you give it lots of shade and water. Also a nice place to dig up some dirt to lay in would be great(the dirt is colder than the air, helps the dog cool down).
In summary: It's not that hard to potty train any dog, especially a husky as they are fairly intelligent, crate training is the way to go, DO YOUR RESEARCH, and I sure as hell hope that you have your parents support/help in this, cause I dont think you know how much responsibility it is.
AND I VOTE NOOOO ON THE NAME.
(Rating: 2) I know EXACTLY how much responsibility it is. I own three dogs at the moment and many MANY more before that. So yea, I think I know the responsibility.
