My husky won t stop nipping and Biting

Question
My husky is six months now. He s been nuetered and he still instists on having what seems like power issues with me. I am almost afraid of him at times. I ll start by saying when he was young his mother had bit him and he had a major abcess and could have died. He spends most days with my husband at work who is a big man and they play rough. I have never allowed him to be agreesive with me. When I chain him up or bring him inside or tell him not to nip the kids he gets angry with me and tries to bite me so I yell NO and end up holding his mouth shut, as soon as I let go he still does it again. It seems the madder I get the madder he gets until I can no longer handle the situation and he is then left alone. What can I do to teach him it is not ok to nip and bite the kids and I and that I am his owner too.

Answer
Even if the husky is neutered or not, they will still have "power" issues.  The neutering will help them calm down a little, but that doesn't mean they won't stop trying to be in control.  Rough playing with your husband means that he might think it is ok to play with you rough or your children.  If the dog bites or uses his teeth during this rough play, then maybe it isn't a good idea.  I have never had the problem with huskies nipping at others.  If he starts nipping the kids, than you need to pushes him by sticking him in a crate.  Smacking the dog isn't abuse and can be used for proper punishment before placing the dog in the crate.  Also when you bring the dog inside put him on a leash.  When he seem like he is going to attack your kids pull him back with the leash.  You need to show him that you are in control of him and he doesn't run you.  If the nipping doesn't stop ask you vet what to do and if there is a specialist you can take him to.  If all else fails, then you are going to have to get rid of him if he continues to bite your children or you.  If you have anymore questions please ask.
