to say, he is a behavioural nightmare. He is very strong and very
exuberant.
My question, will it be possible to get him calmed down and trained?
My thought is that he is still pretty young and he is not mean just
boisterous, so he is probably not a lost cause.

You've got a combo there that spells energy. Also, if the "part" that is
"husky" is actually malamute, he may never "grow up."
Dogs need to be "socialized" and it drives me crazy when folks get a dog and
then they tie them up or crate them.
First off, take him to your vet and get him checked out, wormed, current on
shots and neutered. Then I'd give him a week or two to just run and enjoy
the freedom of no longer being caged. Then join one of the local groups
that do dog training. Look for one that is a "fun" group, not one where
folks are looking to train dogs for obedience trials. The fun groups
usually work at making a dog a good member of your family and aren't all
about "sit, stay, heel."

Well, I have to say that after just 24 hour with us there is a lot of
improvement. I can now let him off the leash in the house and still
have a house! The first few times I brought him in, he went nutso.
I think he expected to be shoved in a box so he went beserk. Once he
realized there is no cage here, he settled down quite a bit. That
and all the exercise he's getting running back and forth in the yard
with my dh!

ps - My dh is the dog person, I was always the cat person . . . so
why do *I* suddenly have a dog? Guess who he follows around?

Because you are the alpha female in your house <g> Dogs are pack animals
and usually follow either the alpha male or the alpha female. Twould appear
that your alpha is stronger than your hubby's.
