Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to owning a husky. I've had Danes and Weims so I'm having trouble connecting to this aloof breed. To make it harder, our 10-month Chinook has been extremely challenging. Besides the digging, shedding, always on leash and food allergies, he chews everything! We've already spent over $1000 on emergency surgery for swallowing a towel and special food for his sensitive stomach. Can anyone give me some hope that 1) it will get easier and 2) I can connect with him on some level to make all this trouble worthwhile. I want it to work out. In 42 years, I've never given up on a dog.
