Answer 1

Try this training technique, it is called NILF(Nothing in Life is Free) It is used to reassert your dominance over your dog in order to regain control and curb his Dominance aggression. You need to read this and learn how you can teach him whos boss!
It involves no hitting etc...but rather teaches you how to take back pscological control.

Ok, the first thing you said that is wonderful to hear is that you don't want to get rid of him. Thank you for that. From today forward you need to start rehabilitating him; only if you feel sure enough to do so. In other words, it is time for you to become pack leader. Right now your dog is controlling you. He's not mean. What's going on right now is his energy level is higher than yours. This in his mind makes him dominant, and could be the reason he's biting. For 30 minutes each day, get him out and walk him. That does not mean let him play in the back yard, you've got to walk him. He's got too much energy and needs to get rid of it this way. You cannot at anytime show him that you are afraid of him, if you do, you will need to get an experienced trainer/behaviorist to come and help you. Do not hit, smack, scold the dog. Get a leash and collar on him, keep him with you through the house. Tell him to sit. I hope you've had him to at least one obedience class. Please anyone reading this, get your dog to an obedience class unless you are able to do the training yourself. Why is your dog biting? All decisions concerning your dog including eating, playing etc should be made by you his dominant owner. Dogs will be followers (happily) if they have someone to be dominant over them. But, you have to do this in a calm/assertive state of mind only. Do not be excited or screaming etc while trying to take your dog under control. This column is not large enough to hold all of the information I could share with you. Again, try locating a behaviorist/trainer in your area if you feel you need one.

Your husky is not mean, he is just stubborn and like to be in control. I live with one and he has learned my will is stronger than his. You have to be consistent, don't let him get away with anything. He used to move any of my shoes he can get to into a big pile on the floor. He didn't chew them just relocate them. He got upset if we left him home. I love him, he's fun, sweet and oh so obedient, if he thinks he is in control. He's just strong willed and need obedience training, but will try to make you believe he does not remember it, when he does not want to obey. You will have loads of fun, just reminding him, you are the Alpha.

Answer 4

Get you and your dog into dog obedience class. Your dog is clearly in control and the alpha Dog classes will teach you how to become the pack leader

Answer 5

Obviously your dog is the boss. He is the one in control. This little doggie needs some training and fast. You'll both be better off.

Answer 6

your dog needs obedience training. You need to be the alpha dog in the house. You will be doing him a favor and you will both be happier!!

Answer 7

Enroll both of you in obedience school for dogs now.

Answer 8

He thinks that he is the alpha male and you have to show him that your better then him. Be firm with himbut also be nice. You have to yell at him when he does somthing wrong.

Answer 9

You have to hit him once in a while because then he will keep doing that. Its discipline.

Answer 10
