That does not mean she will do it! This will never ever change. Training with a husky never stops. She'll be 14 years old & still actively ignoring you! She will sense your frustration & that will be the end of her cooperation!

Try a nothing in life is free program. She's a working dog, she needs a job! Even working for her dinner!

More exercise than you think is reasonable is probably almost enough! Exercise before a training session. A tired husky is a relatively cooperative dog. A bored husky is nothing but trouble!
I've heard of NILIF! I will have to look into it and research it more. It's been recommended for Pit Bulls too, so Brennan could probably benefit from it also.

She barks at me sometimes if I tell her to do something like "haha mom, I'm just gonna sit here and bark at you while you yell at me and tell me not to do that!" I can't imagine living with as many as you do, Tamara LOL, I think I'd go nuts. They are wonderful dogs and I can see that even with her being half Husky, but sometimes I'd just like to choke the little blue eyed booger
