Commanding your dog and getting the desired outcome can be difficult task, and most of the times your husky might not even obey them, but letting it go is a mistake that most of the dog owners do, it makes the dog feel that he can get away without doing what is instructed to him. So while training your dog, you should be persistent, despite how many times you have to repeat yourself, always complete the task and then only stop the training.
