That is not a husky mix.. lab/pit maybe.. but NOT husky.



Check w/ your vet and some doggie day care/boarding facilities, they sometimes offer training.

It doesn't sound like it's a training issue however, and sounds more like seperation issues. Do they happen when he's not near you? Or is it non-stop even when you're there?

It could be that he's not getting exercised enough, pits need to burn off steam daily. Hang a small tire in the yard from something sturdy.. Pit's LOVE that..

How far have you gone w/ obedience training and are you STICKING with it? Meaning are you being consistent in what you do?

You have to work with dogs. Avoid petsmart/petco for anything beyond basic training.

I have a puppy and he has YET to destroy anything, although he has made attempts. When he gets something he's not supposed to he knows he's done wrong and he's given one of his toys instead. House breaking is worse than his chewing.

It could also be that as it is his 3rd home he was shown it was acceptable, and played with all kinds things he shouldn't as a puppy. Stuffed toys as a puppy are bad from what I understand.

All else fails.. take him back. As much as I hate to say it.

Shock collar. Give him durable toys that he can chew and zap the shit out of him when he chews anything else.

Put him in a crate when you are not around, at least until he grows up a little. Put out of his reach anything he can chew on. And lastly, get a remote controlled shock collar and follow him around and when he tries to chew on something shock the shit out of him, same with the biting.

We have a wonderful dog as well, but she can not be trusted alone. If left alone with access to trash she will scatter it throughout the house, then when you return she will bolt out of the door when you open it because she KNOWS she did something wrong. Just couldn't help it. I had a Golden/lab mix and it was an absolute destroyer of anything cotton filled, or any bedding. I'd buy a nice bed for her only to come home to a yard full of ghetto snow.

In other words, dogs are dogs. They lack impulse control, despite being otherwise well trained. What is needed here is human training. Don't give the dog the opportunity to destroy these things. Crate train, keep the dog locked away from the laundry and the furniture, only give non-destructible toys etc. The dog's behavior isn't changing, time to change yours.

Also, don't play with your hands. use toys, not your hands when playing. Hands are for petting and feeding, not playing if you don't want to get bit.

I took mine to the training facility over by the 8th street walmart in Colorado Springs. Haven't had an issue since.......

I don't know if there's an All Breed Dog rescue branch near you, but they offer good training. My buddy runs Cool K9s Training and he & his wife are excellent trainers. Google for their website & give them a call to see if they can offer any help.
