You’re getting a mini husky puppy, also known as an Alaskan Klee Kai! That’s so exciting, and we’re certain that you are going to have so much fun together. Like any relationship, however, it’s important to get things off on the right foot as immediately as possible. This means that it’s especially important to puppy-proof and puppy-ready your home for your wonderful new furry friend. Let’s get started!
1. Put everything away that you don’t want your puppy to get their paws or, more importantly, their mouths on. This means making sure they can’t chew on any wires lying around, plants, appliances, curtains...mini husky puppies are especially curious and anywhere their little paws will take them, they will go. And get into. And start chewing. Even if you don’t think your puppy can get to it: if it’s on or near the ground and they want to know what it is (they do), they will figure out a way to get into it, so be especially vigilant. Being overly protective beats a trip to the vet with a sick or injured puppy any day.
2. They will probably be shy. While they are an especially fun breed, they are particularly shy and calculating at first. Consider that your puppy just left everything they knew and loved for the first eight weeks of their lives to be with you. They now have to get used to new people, smells, places, crates, play areas, toys, basically absolutely everything. Give them time and whatever you do, don’t force them into interacting, especially at the beginning.
