If I'm not mistaken, Huskies tend to have a pretty high prey drive, right? Additionally, I *think* Jack is pretty young. Combine a high prey drive with high energy with a wide open space with small dogs, and you've got a perfect recipe for disaster. This is why I can't let Ivy associate with small dogs, either. At home, she's fine with my Peke, but dogs play without thinking. In a perfect world, every dog park would have separate sections for small/big dogs.
I LOVE Patricia McConnell. "The Other End of the Leash" was an extreamly good book. Even thought it focuses on dog behavior and not training, you need to know about dog behavior before you can really become a good trainer.

Another good book is "Don't Shoot the Dog!" Can't remember who wrote it. It is a book about positive training meathods, whether they be for your dog, husband, children, or chicken. Also an extreamly good book that really gives you an insight on how animals (and people) learn.
