You have siberian puppy problems. Key word PUPPY. You are fustrated because he is a puppy. This is what puppies do. Don't expect them to be little dogs who are well disciplined....ain't going to happen anytime soon..... he's a puppy. He has at least another 3 months before things really get going mentally. PUPPIES also communicate with their mouths, they don't have hands. You need to learn to read your puppy as a puppy first.

Lets work on your first problem: Growling and snapping when you pick him up. If he doesn't want to be picked up, don't pick him up. He snaps, because he wants/needs space, or just wants to play he's a husky puppy. You can't punish him for YOUR doing. It's like having someone invade your personal space when you don't want them to. They don't know it and you would not normally snap at them for not knowing.

2d problem: Snapping & Growling at others outside of play. Right now, there is nothing but play. He is trying to establish his pecking order in the pack and this is how they do it. To begin getting a hold of this now, when he does this, grab him by the scruff, look him in the eyes, and command NO. Don't let him go for a few seconds. Then give him a toy and command something to the effect of "Good Chewy". When he comes to you all mouthy tell him to get his chewy (then give him his chewy), then praise "GOOD CHEWY".

When he gets older don't continue to allow this to happen. At about 6 months, this will require quick, strong discipline. If he growls, grab him by the scruff, look him in the eye and command NO. DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO TAKE HIS EYES OFF YOU. IF HE TURNS HIS HEAD, REPOSITION IT TO FACE YOU AND COMMAND NO. Then put him in a DOWN STAY and don't release him for a few minutes. He will probably slink away and hide, let him. He has been punished and he needs his time out to recover.

3d problem: FIX HIM. As soon as he gets all of his shots or at the next earliest time. This will elimate future problems of trying to reposition himself in the pack.


REMEMBER: ALL PRAISE SHOULD BE DONE IN HAPPY GOOFY TONES. This way they relate to actions being good.

Remember he is a working breed, gets bored real quick, and needs a firm ALPHA to keep him straight.

I hope this helps.
