I own a husky and use the Walky Dog for her. I do not recommend using the head harness for her while using the Walky Dog because there is a possibility of snapping her neck if she chases something suddenly. I would use an X-Back Harness or an Urban Trail Harness while using the Walky Dog. All of the weight will be pulled from the chest area, which is where they have they most strength. It's what mushers use. :) You can order an X-Back Harness or Urban Trail Harness at www.alpineoutfitters.com. If you don't want to buy one of those, at least use a regular harness so you do not have to have your husky pull unsafely with her neck. I own a husky and use the Walky Dog for her.

As Charity said, use a head collar and not a halter. I don't think your dog's neck will snap if it chases something. I did have to teach my dog a hand motion for stop because with the head collar there isn't much control of the forward motion, only out. However in the straights I definitely end up racing my dog, I'll move faster so she will and we just feed off eachother (great workout); this is definitely a great choice for the sled dog breeds.

it fits pretty good on my 80lb sib husky/shepherd mix. the leach connected at the chest can have some getting used to but, itgives great control and discourages pulling.

I have a husky and it helped tremendously. She was really unruly. Husky usually run away. It keeps her around the house. We only has to use tone now. She stays around the house now. I high recommend it.

I have a husky, Product listed here is fake, real furminator works well, but honestly. .. Far cheaper products will work just as well, is nothing amazing, grab an undercoat rake and something easy to yank hair out of for a brush and call it a day, the eject hair Button is a nice concept but it just doesn't work, you end up pulling it out anyway ,

No,,a stubborn Husky or my Husky I should say,,was not contained and escaped out of the fence many times. I finally had to give up after a neighbor came to my house and complained about her getting out..It was a total waste of my money and I would not recommend it for a Husky!

I have a husky and I use this one for her: Zoom Groom Rubber Brush Medium/Firm Raspberry. It works beautifully and she LOVES it. It is amazing how much hair comes off, and how much better she looks afterwards.

This may be a typo. The units should be used with dogs LARGER than 50 lbs. it may be difficult for smaller dogs to pull and use properly.

If you are the pack leader & your Rottweilers are trained, it should work fine. If they pull or easily distracted, I wouldn't recommend it!

I bought this product and use it for TWO 70lb hound pullers. HOWEVER, I use the gentle leader while riding with them. I first tried using it with them in the harness, but got pulled down when one saw a squirrel. He head-halter gives them less strength to pull.This is a great product, and I use it for both single-dog biking, and the double hookup for two! Give it a try!

Yes I believe it would, the main thing is to ensure that his collar is on snug around his neck or using a harness. My dog is 90lbs and while he pulled hard when he was a puppy up until he was about 3, at 10 years old he still pulls but no where near as much as he used to.

@G. Gao. My Siberian husky lines up in front of me when he sees me holding the vest. His mood doesn't change at all and still obeys my commands. Try giving her treats and make her feel good about wearing the pack. Maybe she feels it's punishment?...Good luck.

I would say no, at first I could tell that this product did something to my neighbors husky that barks non-stop. After about 5-10 min, back to the same barks. Waste of money.

It worked with my Husky 1750. The parts are not interchangeable with Husky parts. You basically have to replace all the Husky parts with the parts from this kit. I needed a replacement turbo wand and initially thought that I could use the turbo wand from this kit and attach it to the Husky Pressure gun, you can't. I ended up removing the Husky pressure gun and attaching the pressure gun from this kit, of course all attachments worked like a charm.

My dog is part coyote, rott, Shepard & husky. It stopped her from pulling and lunges almost immediately

I have used it on a 1 year-old (and still very puppyish, very rambunctious) 75-pound basset hound whom I absolutely could not control on walks otherwise. It works amazingly well. It reduced his ability to pull by about 90%. I was at my wit's end what to do until I found this product. I know Goldens are big, strong, athletic dogs but bassets are often the same and walking my basset is like trying to walk a bull on a leash unless I use the Gentle Leader. Hope this helps you, as well!

This didn't work for my 50# shepherd puppy. If your dog pulls a lot, I would try something else.

I use it on my chocodoodle who has medium long hair and works well. I have used the furninator which I think would work better than the magic pro for a husky. The furminator is a better product. Next deshedding tool I buy I will splurge for the furminator.
