By their nature they love people and are extremely affectionate. This is the very same reason that they make terrible guard dogs. Huskies do not have a tendency to "turn on" people. There are some breeds whose temperament you can't trust as easily, but a Husky is not one of them. Also, the Husky really should not be compared to a wolf. They are no more wolf than a Chihuahua!

Huskies do not have a tendency to “turn on” people. There are some breeds whose temperament you can’t trust as easily, but a Husky is not one of them.

Also, the Husky really should not be compared to a wolf. They are no more wolf than a Chihuahua!

Sibes are bred to be very loving with humans and they make awful guard dogs because they like everybody. Mine always wants to go and meet everyone and give them licks. Everybody at the vet's office and dog daycare that she goes to loves her. This is in stark contrast to my other dog, a Shiba Inu. Believe me, the Sibe friendly temperament is extremely precious and a really good thing to have :) I have an 11 months old Siberian Husky and she is exactly like that as well.

The thing is dogs are usually at ease when their owner is around. You will often find that dogs are very friendly when their owner is around because they feel safe and secure. Dogs also sense whether their owner feels threatened or not and will act accordingly. You may find that when you are not around your dog may act protectively but, of course, you are not around to see it. We have a very friendly dog who seems to love everyone. He even likes to try lick door to door salesman. However, one day we had a friend come round to return a lawnmower when we were not home and our dog would not let him in the backyard. If you have a well socialised dog in general he will be very receptive to all types of people but I think you will find that he/she will still have a protective side when you are not around.

I had to teach my dog to "Speak" Just so I was sure he knew how to bark. When we went camping though the police suddenly walked into our camp and he went nuts with the Big Dog Bark..
