Actually, all conformation dogs NEED obedience training, thats basically the first step. Basic commands and focus is definitely needed in the show ring, as acting up can get you kicked out. I don't think it would confuse her at all The more obedient and focused on YOU your dog is, the better they will do in shows.

It sounds like, welcome to puppyhood!! Our nieghbors got a Border Collie puppy, and I warned them about their energy level and intellegence, and right about now they're pulling their hair out and wishing they listened to me . . . if she is put outside alone, she also screams. She has turned into an escape artist. She chews everything, madly wants to chase cars, chases their 4 year-old, normal puppy stuff. When they walk her, she yanks them around and jumps up next to them to bite the leash and their hands the WHOLE time. . I just see them walking by my house, with Layla bouncing up and down next to them it's sad, but way too funny. They're like, "WOW how did Gonzo get to behave so well?". . TONS of OB and just maturing, thats all you can do. Huskies are even more demanding then BC's, in a lot of ways. We DID warn you !! I do not think I could handle a young Husky, even though I love them to pieces. . She definitely needs more than a 1-mile walk. Try jogging/walking, and if she's still energetic run her around the backyard, throw a ball/frisbee for her, and keep her mentally stimulated. Teach her all of the basic commands with hand signals, pratice daily if you haven't already, and feed her meals/snacks in a buster cube or a talk-to-me treat ball. Puppies need plenty of mental and physical challenge to develop into a smart, well-adjusted adult.
