I had the same problem with my German Shepherd. When I kept her outside, she did fine, but as soon as I brought her into the house, she would become very excited. I kept putting her outside, because it's really annoying to have an 80 lb dog jumping all over everything! I was upset because I kept having to put her outside all the time, and a friend promised me that if I kept her inside, eventually she would calm down, and as she got used to being inside, she would calm down faster. I tried it, and she was right! The first time, it took forever to calm down, but she did eventually. Over a month or two, she calmed down faster, until she would only be hyper for a few minutes.
It might help to have tasty chew toys in the house, so she will have something to do when inside, too.
Hope this helps!

He needs exercise, and plenty of it. Try going for a long walk with him before letting him in the house.
He is excited to be there because it is "new" to him. You have not taught him that being in the house is no big deal.
Your dog is living in the garage. Of course he will be excited when he gets to come in and spend time with you. I suggest spending more time outdoors with him, playing, training, and walking.
When he is in the house, don't act excited yourself. The dog will feed off your excitement, and this will get him more worked up.

I just sent my Golden Retriever off to Doggy college for that same reason. She misbehaved so badly in the house...she's 10 months old. Finally she wound up outside and the front porch. She tore up everything, ate my shoes...chewed up candles!!! I love my Jesse...so what they told me ( same almost as the Dog Whisperer TV show ) It was all about pack instincts...she thinks like a dog...not like a person. She was acting like she was pack leader and could do what she wanted...so now I'm learning how to be pack leader. It's real interesting...when they jump up and lick you/ Not affection/ it's dominance. hmmm...invest in a good trainer and you will have your pet back.

Let me ask you this. Do you know you have a working dog?
Do you know he likes to pull thing?
Do you take him for long walks?
Do you play with him?
Do you know the Siberian Husks are puppy's up to 4 years old?
A working dog that has nothing to do will find thing himself to do .Good luck.

Let him in the house more often, then he'll see that its no big deal to be inside the house.
