my siberian husky

Question
QUESTION: my 7 mo. siberian husky has been doing something very strange, he urinates while walking in a circle,usually around me.is he marking his territory or is he looking for my attention?

ANSWER: Is your dog lifting his leg or squatting?  How often does he does this: is it every time he urinates on leash, or has it occurred only once or twice?  Do you have other dogs?  Do you walk him on leash or is he free to move away?

Answer
Your Husky is making a strong rank statement regarding you to the other male (and for the benefit of the females, spayed or not.)  I don't know what you mean by "loose in the house"; do you mean that you keep him on house leash normally?  In order to immediately curtail this developing behavior, you need to associate it with something sudden and unexpected that will startle the dog. DO NOT direct this TOWARD the dog.  Make a loud, unexpected and unusual noise while clapping your hands and move QUICKLY away from the dog as fast as you can.  Repeat this if he attempts the behavior again.  This should, within three trials, stop the behavior.

MEANWHILE, you need to establish some psychological rank with this dog.  Learn about positive reinforcement training (go to Karen Pryor's web site, read Patricia McConnell Ph.D., John Rogerson, Ian Dunbar).  TEACH this dog, with patience, praise and consistent reward in a fair manner (Huskies do NOT respond to abusive training, they become aggressive).  Teach him one behavior at a time and then ask him to "work" for you, for praise and reward, at various short intervals throughout the day for the next year.  The Husky is an intelligent, highly independent breed very close to type and requires fair, consistent, intelligent leadership.  Once he has learned to "follow" you, these developing dominance routines (directed at the other dogs) should self extinguish.
