How many times you put a foot in his ass and cage him? Try that!! next 00 buck outta cure it.....

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.

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

Crating is a good start, the shock color is not. I know members will argue the fact but I dealt with my dog having lymphoid cancer and would not wish it on anyone.
It does just sound like separation issues and the fact that he has been jumped from place to place in his what 3 years he has been alive? 8 months is not enough time to work some of his fear's / issues out. Crate him when your not home, it also provides him with "his own home" which will lead into more of a sense of security for him (less anxiety). Just make sure you never ever discipline him while he is in his kennel (I.E. yelling or trying to pull him out) if he runs into it after doing something wrong just shut the door and wait a while.
I commend you for the steps you have taken so far just keep at it and rememeber dogs are like kids, they are both wild animals that need training

Btw A harder bite while playing is a sign of frustration, try a different game or when playing a fetch like game make him drop the toy at your feet before you will take it.

Just my $.2

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.
