Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 2 months old | 8 lbs
How can I stop my husky from biting me? I was thinking about training her at petco. She also hates her crate with a passion. The only thing she knows how to do is poop and pee outside. I give her treats everytime she goes potty outside. Shes 9 weeks. I need help!!

Puppies learn to explore with their mouth. Luckily she is young and can be trained with patience and consistency. First, make sure you have lots of treats handy. Second, have lots of toys handy. When you are playing with Luna and she starts to bite you, make a high pitched squeal. When she stops biting, tell her good girl and give her a treat or toy. When she chews on the toy, tell her shes a good girl. She will get the hang of it. For the crate, you need to get her used to it slowly. When you are home, feed her in there without closing the door. Put treats and toys in there so she can come and go when she likes. Slowly build up to closing the door for short periods. Give treats when shes calm inside the crate. At night, put something in there that smells like you. Be tough, don't crack before she does. Basic training at PetCo is a great idea! Good luck and congrats on your new baby. Sending kisses!
