Housing:

Siberian Huskies are happiest when they can share in family activities. It is in their blood to be close to a family. However, they also like the outdoors. The best arrangement is one in which the dog can come in and out of the house of its own free-will, through a dog door. If a dog door is not possible, then training the dog to go to an outside door to be let out is also very easy to do.

Outside, the dog should have a large, fenced yard. The fence should be strong and at least 6 feet tall. It is also a good idea to bury wire in the ground to discourage digging out. Siberians are notorious diggers. It is usually best to set up a sand box somewhere in a shady area and encourage digging there.

If you choose to keep your Siberian outside, you will need a suitable kennel. The kennel should be chain link, with a concrete run, and should be a minimum of 7 ft wide and 15 ft long. It should be at least 6 ft high with chain link across the top of the kennel. It should be in a shaded location and have an insulated dog house with a door for shelter from the elements. You should also provide shelter from the elements in the form of a good sturdy house. Ideally the house should have a flat roof, as Siberians love to lay on top of their houses and observe the world.
