Lane - why do you want to clicker train? (In my humble opinion it does have a place but is much over used these days.) To start with you have to teach the dog what the clicker means by getting an association built up with reward. In my experience it is much more rewarding for both you and the puppy to have physical contact as praise to begin with. When you are happy and working well together that is the time to learn about other training options. Concentrate on socialising your pup and basic training at first. A calm and gentle stroke and,"Good girl" will reinforce good behaviour in the house. I know there will be many who disagree about clicker training but I believe that if you have the ability to train a dog with one then you don't need one. As I said they do have a place and it can be enjoyable later to train the dog to one.

As for Odin, poor dog, poor boyfriend and poor you!! Husky's tend to develop very strong bonds and can take quite a while to come round to the idea of new owners. As you have found, this can be soul destroying when all you want to do is love the dog and have a good relationship with him. Odin sounds like he is depressed to me. He hasn't coped well with the changes in his life recently. I always found GSD's made the very best guide dogs but often found the changes during puppy walking, kennels, two changes of trainer and then on to the final owner very hard to cope with. They also tend to form strong bonds and it can be hard on the trainer, I know!
The absolute key to dog training is to treat dogs as individuals - what works with one, two or thirty doesn't always work with the next one. That's what makes it so interesting - just when you think you have the magic formula, you have to rethink your everything.
Odin also sounds like he is lacking respect for your boyfriend and I am almost certain that this due to the lack of bonding.
Maybe you could both try stopping the special efforts to be friends with the dog. Give him some space and let him readjust. When he is in the house with you get him to lay on his bed (the dog, not your boyfriend!..well, um..that's up to you really!!) and lie quietly. Do not fuss him or talk to him except when you happen to pass him. Then give him a pat and calm verbal praise, this must be very brief and only occasional. You are allowing the dog to relax, feel comfortable and safe but giving him boundaries at the same time. He must stay on his bed. If he moves off it simply put him back with the minimum of hassle.
Try to find somewhere secure that the dog can be off the lead, the back garden will do, and two or three times a day go and sit with him while he just does his own thing. When he wanders close to you offer a treat and a fuss and then say,"Off you go" or whatever phrase you choose.
Never ask the dog to do something you are not 100% sure he will obey until he starts to bond.
In short, I think bonding with the dog is vital before you start to really train. Every time he disobeys his respect level is falling and so is your heart. As soon as you start to see real signs of him seeking your company or looking to you as part of his pack then basic gentle training can start.
As you don't know the background and the dog is aloof I think this is the way to go. If you can find a one on one trainer who is going to be on your wavelength so much the better.
I am not suggesting you let the dog run wild by the way. You must keep basic rules of house that have already been put in place such as house training, furniture rules etc. Just give the dog some time to settle and feel secure before expecting him to trust and respond. Take heart - when things start to turn in your favour the rewards will be immense and you will have the best friend you have ever had.
Odin has decided he doesn't know what has happened to him in the recent past or what will happen next to him and the best and safest thing he can do for himself is to stay on his own, do his own thing until a situation he feels secure in comes along.

I hope this helps - if I can help at all please feel free to contact me in person. Lots of luck and keep us posted.
