I'm in a Facebook husky group that I mostly ignore because it's a lot of breeders selling dogs or people being dumb, but someone is trying to rehome because the dog is "attacking their kids" and whoever takes it needs to "take over the Petland financing".
The dog is 19 weeks old

Like, this is a PUPPY that needs training, not an aggressive dog.
"I don't have money for training."
"I understand puppies play but I will protect my kids no matter what."
What's sad is this fucking moron will probably go out and buy another overpriced pet store dog.

The post was locked in the page but I'm VERY tempted to message and be like give me the fucking dog, you do not deserve it. That poor puppy.
Like, at 4.5 months old, that dog has probably never had any real training, and still has puppy teeth with adult teeth coming in, so yeah, a nip from that pup is going to hurt and will probably break skin. It needs serious training, right now.
I'll bet it's also not being exercised or mentally stimulated properly, so it's got tons of energy that's coming out in biting.
god that poor baby, supposedly she has someone coming to pick it up tomorrow but I'm so scared it's going to end up in a shelter and get put down

i'm really mad
don't fucking buy from pet stores and don't get a husky if you don't know how to train dogs and aren't willing to put in time, money, effort, and patience into them
in fact, don't get a pet at all if you aren't willing to do that

SHE GOT THIS DOG A MONTH AGO I JUST FOUND THE POST WHERE SHE WAS LIKE LOOK AT MY NEW DOG
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
listen, i worked in a pet store for two years, and we like to go to the pet store in the mall to play with the puppies and give them some attention and exercise, and they absolutely get super excited and bite really really hard but they need TRAINING that's IT jfalskdjfa;lsdkfj;a
(i was young and honestly I loved that job but don't support pet stores)
also for fuck's sake, do not finance a dog, those loans are like 35% interest and also WHY WOULD YOU FINANCE A DOG
IF YOU HAVE TO FINANCE A DOG, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY. STOP.

god i do not want another husky but I'm so fucking mad right now, she's about 3.5 hours west of me and I want to take that poor thing away from her right now
They almost certainly walked into a pet store and impulse bought her because she's adorable.
Like, full disclosure, that's exactly what happened with Twister. We walked into a pet store and impulse bought him. I don't regret it, I love him, but it was irresponsible.

The difference is, I had and knew dogs (at least a bit), we paid for him in full (no financing), and he went to puppy playtime at Petco for socialization, and I spent hundreds on obedience classes because he's big, and a bite would do damage, and I wanted him to have manners!
He's not the best trained, he's way too excitable if someone comes over or the harness comes out, and he's an asshole that ignores you when you call his name, but that's a husky for you. I don't have to worry about him biting.
We were in Petco with him one day and some woman let her toddler run over and just full on HUG him and he just sat there uncomfortably, even though he was startled. He's enormous, he could have mauled or killed this kid and DIDN'T, because TRAINING.
fuck it's not that hard
fuck it's not that hard
if you don't know how to train a dog, you need to learn before you get one, and if you're not willing to put in hours and money and patience, then get a fucking gerbil instead
I didn't know how to train dogs at all, but the best thing about obedience classes is it's actually teaching you how to train!
