I am very active person and like to run rollerblade and go for walks but my 8 month old refuses to do any activity that she doesn't wanna do. If I don't let her go in the river and make her go another way on our walks she will either bite me or mainly pull at the leash or else lay down and refuse to walk anymore. I take her on light jogs because I'm really slow so it really a walking pace for her but she does the same thing and gets mad. How do I stop her from pulling on the leash. She also is extremely mouthy when she get excited. It's mainly to new people that come over or she sees on her walks. She's very friendly she just doesn't get it to not use her teeth when she's excited . Does anyone know how I could train her to calm down. I have been making her sit for 10 mins before I let her go near anyone so she calms down a little but it doesn't work that great. She weighs 66 pounds and most people are afraid of her when they come over because she will come charging and then teeth hello doesn't help.

Have you read through this thread yet? There's lots of good information on how to train your husky.

Arooroomom's positive reinforcement/ force free training thread.

Also, look up walk your dog with love. I don't personally use that particular harness & method, but there are some others on here that do and have had success.

There are great threads on the training category. Take a look through, and I'm sure that some of your questions (especially mouthing) should be answered there.

Other than that, welcome to the world of huskies. They are independent, and no two are alike.
