he also has a biting problem i'm sure he is just playing but it hurts....

Answer 1

It takes a little time for puppies to grasp this. You just need to keep taking him outside regularly so he understand that when he needs to go its gotta be outside. His biting he'll grow out of if you don't encourage it.

You should consider using a crate. Most pups will bark and whine a while but should soon learn to like the crate. Some will even go in it on their own to sleep if you leave the door open. Keep him in it until it is time to go out to potty then take him right outside without stopping in the house to play. Tell him "potty" and once he does it you praise him and take him inside to play. When you are not able to watch him 100% of the time put him back in his crate and start over. Also, keep in mind that he will need to potty about 15 or 20 minutes after eating. It is also very important to NEVER use a crate to punish a dog!! It should be a safe, fun place!

With the biting, you need to tell him "no" and quit playing with him when he does it. He is probably just wanting to play but he needs to learn not to do that to you. If "no" does not work, you can GENTLY pop him on the mouth. You don't want to hurt him, just make it where it is not fun for him to bite you. Remember to stop playing with him when he does this.

Find what motivates your dog. Some dogs do anything for food. Some dogs do anything for Toys. Some do anything for a good petting. Some do anything for only one type of food, like cheese, or hotdog. Some only have interest in training for 5 minutes at a time, and others can go for an hour. Figure out what your dog is willing to work for, and then work with her in sessions that are no longer than she can tolerate. How to train your dog properly https://tr.im/OlhCJ

Sign up for a dog obedience training class. It will not train your dog. It will give you training on how you can train your dog. Most people understand the idea of training, but there is a right and a wrong way to do it, and there is good and bad technique. Timing and consistency is very important, and it helps to have feedback of someone watching you who can help you improve your technique to get more efficient results with your dog.

However, she may be somewhat anxious around other dogs, sort of like the shy kid on the playground. She will benefit from continuing what you are doing as far as asking her to sit before entering, but there are more things along those lines that will help her to calmly go in and out of the dog park. She may also benefit from going in short bursts, or only when fewer dogs are present, or avoiding times when other dogs that make her nervous are present. Maybe she just plays loud - my brother's dog is this way - or maybe she is a dogpark bully - sorry it is possible. But more likely she is just a little anxious around new dogs and she wants to play but just doesn't quite know how to do that and still feel comfortable. Don't be surprised if your dog does not actually like the dog park, and maybe she would get more enjoyment and less stress out of simply going for a good walk somewhere else.

A wagging tail does not mean that your dog is happy or even comfortable with the situation. It means your dog is emotionally aroused. This could be a happy arousal, or it could be a nervous arousal, or it could be an aggressive arousal. Go youtube it, there are plenty of videos of 'vicious' dogs who are throwing a very aggressive fit of barking and snarling while their tail is wagging vigorously. Even police dogs who are not let off the leash to chase down a suspect can be lunging and barking and snarling, and their tails are still going.

Its jsut a case of taking him to wheres hes messed and scolding him, if he goes toilet on the paper or outside praise him lots and lots and even give him a little treat he will soon learn that when he goes inside its bad and when he goes outside he gets fuss and attention and get the gist of it, unfortunatly Huskies are very strong minded it may take a while

Answer 5

In re: to the biting, yelling "ouch!" and then giving him something acceptable to chew on works very well. Your dog does not want to hurt you so yelling "ouch" tells you got hurt. By giving him something he can chew on, you are substituting and encouraging the good behavior.
