Even now, nudge the Pomeranian to the side. Give her a gentle nudge.

You need to do this. Now, between your legs... Nudge her away. Move her farther from you.

Keep her away from you. Hello, I'm trainer Kang Hyung-wook. For today's puppy training session

[Husky / 4 months old]
It seems like there are two dogs here. [Doong-i]
The husky and

[Pomeranian / 4 years old]
the Pomeranian. [Som-i] [Younger Husky]
This one is the younger one,

[Older Pomeranian]
and this one is the older one. You can tell just by looking.

The husky comes right up, wagging its tail, begging for treats, tilting its head like this, even though it's our first meeting.

Meanwhile, the Pomeranian over there [("Who are you, Kang Hyung-wook?")]
has zero interest in me.

But from the looks of it [ (Timid Older Pomeranian)]
the Pomeranian seems like a cautious dog.

She's a bit shy in personality. [(Energetic Younger Husky)]
The husky, on the other hand, is very active

which can make it a bit challenging for them to live together at home. How have things been so far?

During the day, we let them roam freely, but at night, we separate their spaces. That seems good.

When you think about them living together at home, what comes to mind? [Q. I’m concerned about two dogs with different personalities living together]
I imagined them getting along well

but for now, they just act like strangers to each other. Well, the husky has a great personality.

By that, I don't just mean being bright and cheerful. It's also highly focused, which I think is a sign of

an excellent temperament. As for the Pomeranian, though a bit reserved, there doesn't seem to be any problem with its personality either.

[Focus on matching energy, not personality]
The key here is aligning their energy levels. If there's any issue

it's simply that the husky is still very young. Do you know the common trait among owners who worry about pets living together?

They're eager for the dogs to play together right away. But when you push them to play, one ends up annoying the other

and you think, "That needs to be fixed." In short, the owner should be the one engaging with the dogs.

The problem arises when you expect one dog to entertain the other. Do you feel the same way?

Yes, I've thought that too. Especially since the husky has so much energy, I've been trying to tire it out as much as possible

but after just 10 or 20 minutes of rest, its energy bounces back. That's the problem, letting it rest.

It shouldn't rest. Has there been any fighting? The husky does tend to run at the Pomeranian

and since the Pomeranian is shy, it ends up pulling away. There's no need for them to get along perfectly.

Think of them as roommates [They don't need to be best friends]
who might not necessarily get along.

They should maintain a polite distance. This might sound strange, but sometimes being distant is the healthiest relationship.

You might think they'll start sharing and compromising, right? But here's something to note. Som-i seems like a dog

who's lived more like a doll. It's been overly protected and probably got what it wanted whenever it asked for it.

Many small dogs in Korea live like this, like toys. [Allow them to grow by experiencing and learning on their own]
Instead, dogs should have the chance to think

feel and express themselves naturally. Dogs that grow up learning and making decisions on their own tend to be underestimated in how strong they actually are.

For these two, they might never become close friends, or maybe when the husky matures a bit more, it could be generous enough to accept the Pomeranian.

Right now, though, the husky is like, “Hey, let’s run and play!” [(The Husky Loves Scents)]
“Doesn’t this smell amazing?”

“There’s this dog smell here,
and that dog smell over there, it’s so fun!” But the Pomeranian is like

[(The Pomeranian Hates Getting Sunburnt)]
“Ugh, no way. I’ll get a tan.”

So it just stays low, avoiding the sun. Their personalities are just fundamentally different. Okay. In this situation, you need to tell Som-i

who’s growling, to stay calm. [If they misbehave, lightly nudge them to correct it]
Gently nudge her to the side and say, “Be gentle.”

Som-i might think, “That dog was rude to me!” Let's tell her, “She wasn't being rude.”

“You’re both dogs.” “She just came over to say hello.” Even now, nudge the Pomeranian to the side.

Give her a gentle nudge. You need to do this. Yes. Now, between your legs...

Nudge her away. Move her farther from you. Keep her away from you. Yes. [You don’t need to be harsh; just make them understand their behavior is wrong]
You don’t need to be too forceful, just a light “push” to signal “Go away.”

Nudge her again, telling her to go away. Now, as you keep nudging her, you’ll notice moments like, “Ah!”

This shows she's starting to get it. The issue might not be the husky, but rather Som-i’s behavior.

For example, the Pomeranian might think, “The wind is annoying me today.” [If a dog is used to always getting its way, temperamental behavior might have been reinforced]
so, “Pick me up!”

This is often the case with dogs raised like dolls. It’s unfortunate because when the husky says, “Hey, let’s play!”

The Pomeranian responds with, “You dirty dog!” and snaps back. Imagine how frustrated the husky must feel.

Right? In this situation, the one who takes the bigger emotional hit is the husky.

That’s why, if Som-i growls while near you, you need to firmly say, “Don’t behave like that.”

[If they misbehave, correct them immediately]
If the husky bothers Som-i from a distance,

you should block her, saying, “You shouldn’t do that to Som-i.” The husky doesn’t have much to learn from the Pomeranian.

For the husky’s sake, it’s better to keep them apart. Let the husky meet other mature and confident dogs

and help the Pomeranian grow into a healthy, well-adjusted adult dog, too. [Q. They fight, so we’ve been separating them. Is this the right approach?]
We’ve been keeping them confined and separated.

Does that mean we’ll have to keep them confined for life? No, that’s not the answer.

Just set up a kennel for each of them. [Instead of confining them in a room, create a kennel as their personal space]
The Pomeranian will likely retreat to the kennel on its own because it wants a safe space.

Let Som-i stay there, and later you can guide her into the kennel. Then take the husky out and spend time playing and engaging with her.

[If the husky bothers the dog resting in the kennel, stop it immediately]
Only intervene if the husky tries to disturb the Pomeranian resting in the kennel.

You can alternate, like let the Pomeranian out during dinner and the husky out during breakfast.

Switching like this is fine. For households with multiple dogs, this method works well. [In multi-dog households, kennels are often an effective problem-solving tool]
Having both dogs use kennels is also a good idea.

You have to do it. Doing this will help the husky; at around 6 or 7 months old,

she will realize that, “Som-i doesn’t enjoy playing with me this way.” “Oh, we’re just different.”

It takes time for her to accept and understand this. Do you have any other questions? [Q: I’m worried that trying to meet the dog’s exercise needs might lead to excessive leash pulling]
I bought a waist leash to help give the husky more exercise by running together.

but after starting that, the leash pulling became more intense. First, try wearing a treat pouch at home

and giving treats frequently. [Use treats to naturally guide your dog to stay close to you]
Just keep handing out treats casually.

As for running with the waist leash, keep doing it. You need to maintain that practice because it’s an important part of teaching your dog how to enjoy walking nicely with you later.

[Interactive walks with the owner help establish proper behavior habits!]
Not doing it could be more problematic than any issues it might create.

When they’re young, they’ll struggle. Like stopping, darting to the side, or even backtracking suddenly.

So how do you handle this? First, [It’s better to work as a two-person team]
you need a two-person team.

While one person stays with the dog and holds the leash, the other, like the female owner here, can ride a bike or run ahead

calling, “Come here, come here!” [DECOY / A role to encourage the dog to run toward them]
This person acts as a decoy to motivate the dog.

You can’t skip this step. If the owner moves ahead first, then the owner should hold the leash

[(Flinches)]
and encourage the dog with phrases like, “Let’s go, let’s catch up!”

Take turns saying, “Let’s go,” and running. Once the dog catches up, walk together for about 10 minutes.

This way, the dog learns that after running, [The experience of "someone waiting" at the end makes walks more enjoyable for the dog!]
there’s someone waiting at the end.

Eventually, you’ll no longer need to run so much. Once they’re used to it, you can run just lightly

and the dog will start pulling you forward. [(Everyone laughs)] I’m serious! Your body will go forward like this.

All you need to do is attach the leash to your waist, lean slightly forward, and jump a bit. It's surprisingly fun!

And won't tire you out. [Try letting the dog's energy pull you along!] You might think, "How could I run 5 km with a dog?"

But since the dog pulls you forward, you only need to exert minimal effort; it feels like you're floating.

Seriously. I'm not joking. [Warning / Be mindful of your knees!] However, make sure to do this only while your knees are still healthy!

Although you were concerned about the dogs living together, I don't think the term "living together" quite fits here.

The reason I dislike the word "living together" is that saying, "We successfully made them live together," doesn't really make sense.

Would you say that for a married couple or a romantic relationship? It's the same for dogs.

"Living together" feels more like something you'd say about stag beetles, doesn't it?

But if we must use the term, I'd say the process has already been successful and will only improve from here.

I imagine you're looking for a clear yes or no answer, and my tendency to give nuanced responses might have felt frustrating.

For that, I feel a bit apologetic, but also, I want to say you've adopted an incredible dog.

This Siberian Husky is among the smartest of its kind. Just how smart is it?
