Im sorry for your struggle.  Honestly, I commend you for trying but he needs commitment, persistence, time and patience.  He’s only ever known his cage so its going to take a long time for him to feel comfortable out of it and with a new person.  Just be consistent about your routine with him.  Allow him to go in his cage but leave the door open.  And get him out somewhere where he can release the energy he’s been forced to give up. Huskies need ALOT of exercise.  Im out with mine 3x a day.  Dog parks are a gift!  I bet it takes a year before he starts to come to.  If you don’t have the time and dedication because of personal issues, I would consider a rescue and maybe get an older and less energetic dog?  Could he be whining because he’s bored.  If they dont get exercise often, they will become destructive to keep busy.  All my best to you

Given your situation, it’s important to seek help from a professional dog trainer, especially one experienced with huskies. Consider enrolling your husky in a training class or consulting with a behaviorist who can offer personalized advice. Additionally, look for local support groups or online communities for dog owners with disabilities, as they might have useful tips and resources. Using puzzle toys and mental stimulation games can also help reduce your husky's anxiety and provide an outlet for his energy.
