What a Sibe needs (in their eyes)
Good
food: Human food is nice, but if you give it to me enough,
I'll go on hunger strike until you give it to me again. Just feed
me a quality hard dog food.
A lot of fresh water: All this fur makes me hot, and I need
to keep myself hydrated.
A lot of exercise: If you let me build up too much energy,
I can be destructive. Take me out for a long walk and all is
forgiven.
Your attention: When you ignore me. I think you are mad at
me. Pet me, scratch my belly, toss a ball for me from your
favourite chair. These things let me know that you aren't mad,
you're just too tired to go run.
A crate: I need a place to hide all the nice things you
give me. My crate is my bedroom, and I need my private space where
I can go when I am frightened, stressed, or just need a break from
your kids. It's not confining unless you leave me there for hours
on end. It's part of my nature to like Dens - to me it's my home.
To respect you: You don't like working for a boss that you
don't respect & neither do I. Don't put yourself in a position
where your role as the leader is questionable. Be a strong leader
& I will be a strong follower.
You to respect me: I'm a pretty serious machine when you
think about it. Respect what I can do for you, as well as what I
can do to you.
