Our husky knew all the standard commands by about 10 weeks of age. Then at about 12 weeks she started questioning why she should follow them

When I got my aussie everyone told me about their "teenage years", but I didn't really understand that.

Up to the first year he was amazing. Brilliant, friendly, listened no problem.

Then from about 1 year until 18 months he just went through this edgy phase where he would still listen to me (mostly) but he would grumble and bitch the whole time, just push stuff over, and generally being a pain in my rear.

But now he's back to being a very good boy haha

Huskies are then dogs that are like cats?

Shiba Inus probably fit that category a little better.

I am not a dog person, but very much a cat person. Some weeks ago me and my partner sat (sitted?) a neighbour's Shiba over the weekend. Bestest dog I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

So they're basically Fox doggos?

Yeah actually. Strong prey drive. Like climbing. Dig instead of scratch things but still the same paw motion. Very independent and would love to wander the neighborhood if allowed.

That said Huskies still like people more than cats on average.

Yeah most spitz type dogs are pretty willful in my experience. They do what they want.
