I am not an expert, and I didn't understand the part about biting people...but the rest of the behavior sounds to me like your Husky is a people dog, she doesn't want to live in the backyard...she wants to be with her person. I have a herding type dog and he would just die if he couldn't be with me. He considers it his job to be with me. Some dogs do not make good "couch potato" dogs, some can't just be turned outside and expected to be happy. It's good that you excersise her, I'm sure that takes the edge off...but only for that period of time obviously. Dogs left alone in a yard or other arrangement for long periods of time often become destructive, they need stimulation just like people. IP: Logged |

I agree with Maisy, I think your dog has 2 issues, one is he is a people dog and wants to be around you and the other is I still dont think he is getting enough excercise, I and I dont mean running, he needs another kind of excercise like playful type of excercise and interaction with you. like playing ball. Your dog is bored. I have 2 dogs one that wont leave my side and the other that loves to be outside by herself. Good luck IP: Logged |

I have to agree. I see a few things here. Fist the licking of the doors seems like she wants to be with you. The tree sounds like a boredom thing. Biting people could be a result of these two. Huskys are active dogs and also very loyal dogs. Sounds like your baby wants to bond with you and needs to bond with you but she can't. The biting could be her way of letting you know she doesnt like the situation. Husky's I know tend to dig when left outside. They get bored easily. They are a working dog and as that they need a bond with their humans and need a job to do that keeps their minds off being destuctive. Just some thoughts. IP: Logged |

Great advice above. Huskeys by nature are roamers also. I came across two huskeys that I captured and helped get them back to their owners. That was the second time that month that they had gotten out. I guess thats why they are used for slay pulling. They love to be out and running. I say bring them in the house with you. Clean them up and let them be house dogs, but make sure they get lots of exersize. When dogs are bored they do damaging things. IP: Logged |

You have been giving some great insight here! To help with the biting, try squirting some lemon juice in their mouths. I had a problem with my dog biting when she was younger, but she did outgrow it. I tried the lemon juice once or twice, but she got wise to me and every time I grabbed it, she ran the other way. However, my brother had great success with his dog. I've also heard that you can spread some peanut butter on your hand. Play with your pooch with the other hand, and when he starts to bite, shout 'OWE!', switch hands, and teach him to lick instead. I've never tried this, but if your desperate, it might be something to do. But be careful, since peanut butter is fattening! (Maybe by the low fat stuff?!) Just some things to try for the biting.

I have 2 Huskies and they are very much people dogs and need lots of attention. My Bailey is very needy and loves lots of attention whereas my other Husky doesn't need as much. Seperation anxiety is very common in Huskies. Kara is nipping at you for attention. I have a pet door so my dogs can go in and out so they can be with us if they want. You are doing right with exercising her but it sounds like she needs extra playtime from you. For the nipping, contact a pet behavior trainer or training books for the best way to solve it. Who knows, with some extra attention, the nipping might stop on its own. IP: Logged |
