Hello. I have a 4 month old male husky. And our problem is that he don't wanna accept to be closed in his "house " it's a room 2x1 with a dog house inside it . we give him all of his toys and we feed him there. but whenever we close him in there he start howling ,barking and jumping to try to get out . and that last really long. sometimes up to half hour. I just wanna find a way to get him used to his house and make him be okay with spending his time in it

This can take some time and patience - he would much rahter be playing with you then spending time on his own! With some gentle encouragement however, including chew/food toys which keep him busy (there are many puzzle feeders you can buy or DIY models such as plastic bottles with small holes for the food to come out) and a regular routine he will learn. A certified dog trainer can be very helpful also if he is very stubborn! See the attached link for some hints and tips https://www.dogstrust.ie/help-advice/factsheets-downloads/indoorkennel.pdf
