Hi, I’m Koda—professional explorer, snack enthusiast, and full-time Husky with opinions. When you come to meet me, I’ll likely greet you with a happy wag, a little bounce, and then show off my manners by sitting nicely for treats (which I take very gently, thank you). I know several cues like sit, down, paw, and “off,” and I walk pretty well on leash for a Husky, though I do like to stop and smell all the important messages along the way.
Food is my love language. I’m extremely food motivated and learn quickly because of it, though I may prefer not to be disturbed while I’m eating. Once my bowl is empty, I’m totally happy to move on and see what other snacks you have, and I trade items nicely when asked. Toys? Meh. Cuddling? Optional. Exploring outside and sniffing everything? Absolutely yes.
I’m very friendly with people, including respectful kids, but I can get over-excited and jump, so I’ll need help remembering to keep all four paws on the floor. I’m known to “talk” when I’m frustrated or excited—classic Husky commentary. With other dogs, I’m a bit selective and can be reactive on leash, so slow introductions and continued training will be important. Cats are a no-go for me, as I like to chase.
One last thing to know: I can jump impressively high from a standstill and have a bit of a history with counter surfing and mischief when left unattended, so secure fencing, good management, and ongoing training will help me be my best self. If you are super active and love being outside a lot, I could be convinced to live in an apartment; just be sure your neighbours are down for the occasional yodeling session (they can even sing along, I don`t mind).
I was surrendered through no fault of my own and am ready for an active home that appreciates a smart, sassy, food-loving Husky who will keep life interesting. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, I might just be your guy.
