“Behind”

Getting used to be kept on a leash, your dog learns to follow you on foot, without pulling on his leash. It will then do the same without leave in freedom. The habit of following you with or without a leash is crucial for walks in the crowded city parks for example.

They are not the best pets out in public if you do not be embarrassed.

Learning how to train a Siberian Husky may be quite a challenge due to their strong will and independent thought. To train properly, you will require a lot of persistence and patience.

Siberian huskies are easily bored with repetitive tasks. They are happy to obey you as there is not anything more interesting to entertain.
