I use this one for my husky and boxers hair It works well and makes it easy to get the stairs(if you have stairs)
This is soo typical husky behavior lol :) our girls did the same thing. We found if we start out jogging/running then they LOVE IT and will run nearly the whole way. If we walk then it's explore time and get yanked time.
Huskies are sled dogs and pulling comes very naturally to them. We like to Rollerblade so having our girls run along with us on leash or pull something by us works well.
We use a harness like this instead of chokers or other restrictive collars and it works great for ours. We've used these for nearly a year and happy to say they don't slip out or have any discomfort either.

Also, recommend a retractable leash. We learned the hard way that this is an absolute necessity with them lol.
Hope this helps :)
Definitely steer clear of them. I started with one since I had it on hand and it was way too rough on our husky’s coat. We had always had Goldens and it did work well for their double coats.
We switched to a undercoat rake which has been doing an excellent job. Her coat has been growing back in nicely and it’s doing a bang up job removing the mounds of undercoat that the furminator wasn’t reaching at all.

They make dog pants and onesies that have an enclosed rear end but an open belly for urination. I would just put disposable female sanitary napkins along the rear end for leakage. You could even purchase the extra long sleep and maternity ones.
There’s also dog pyjamas which are quite thin for the summer months.
I had an elderly schnauzer boy I did this for who had IBS and had “leakage”. I just made sure to trim the rear end (I know it’s frowned upon for huskies, but I would deem this medical necessity to keep the skin clean) so I could clean him with scentless wet wipes.
It's not a vacuum but when I had a husky I always kept at least one of these around. It's nothing but a stupid rock but holy crap did it make my life easier.
I highly suggest trying a different food if you haven’t already. Both my Huskies get Purina Pro Plan EN Gastroenteric. That’s the food the breeder we got them from uses. A friend of mine had similar issues as your dog, and once switching to that food all of their issues went away.
Of course that’s entirely anecdotal evidence. But considering all that you’ve tried, it may be worth a shot.
My Siberian Husky had a touchy stomach as a puppy. Ended up trying a bunch of different foods, as well as some specialty frozen raw foods (frozen raw meat chunks). Ultimately, I ended up needing to buy him a “high protein” food. The blue wilderness high protein food works best for my pup. I’d say it’s worth picking up a small bag to test.

When switching foods, you shouldn’t go straight from one to another. Instead, try mixing 50/50 old and new for a few days before completely switching over.
Also, be mindful of the treats you’re using to train your pup. I ended up with plain old milkbone treats, and regular cheese for high value treats when training.
Good luck!
Have you tried probiotics? If your pup has been on antibiotics it could have killed her good gut bacteria.
My girl had soft stool regularly as a pup (although not as bad as yours!) and this stuff helped a lot:
Purina FortiFlora Probiotics for Dogs, Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements Powder or Chewable Probiotic Dog Supplement https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001650NNW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_52DDM74NX5G81ZX02B87

I use these bottles on long walks and there really great for when we take a break and hydrate. Got them from Amazon.

A treat bag for training is also useful. RoyalCare Silicone Dog Treat Pouch-Small Training Bag-Portable Dog Treat Bag for Leash with Magnetic Closure and Waist Clip 10oz X2[US Design Patent] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C4V2GG3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_C6Q4HHPGC5QG2HX8S31H
Or other chew toys for tough chewers, a good reflective vest/harness would be good too. Good luck
Is she already howling at night, or is that just a worry that you have? If you're kennel training her, then it's definitely in your best interest to get a puppy stuffed animal with a fake heartbeat, like this one here.
My older husky broke my heart every time I had to kennel her for class, but as soon as I got her one of these she went right to sleep so long as I left it on for her.
In general even husky puppies will do a good job of letting you know when they need to use the bathroom (once you learn their signs), but do not expect them to wait for you to let them out if they need to go. They're typically highly distracted in general, so they're only going to remember to ask to go out at the last minute.
The next thing is her energy. It's going to shoot up for a bit as she starts to grow into herself, but unlike most dog breeds her energy levels are going to keep rising until she's about 3. The taper back down is a slow process, for the first few years of my older husky's life I had to take her to the dog park 2x each day for at least an hour and a half each.
Just remember that while she's definitely going to be frustrating, huskies are excellent pack members and will reflect all the love that they're raised with! Both of our girls are lap huskies, and the biggest softies on the planet. They prefer to just melt into cuddles over anything else.

Maybe OP can confirm.
This is a dog car seat cover from Amazon. We love it since our pup is pretty large for our back seat. He can lay with support and he can be near the air conditioning! Lol here’s the link if you’re interested to look at it.

Hope you make a speedy recovery! I have a 1.5 year husky who will take at least a couple hours trying to get treats out of this toy: https://www.amazon.com/StarMark-Everlasting-Ball-Medium-Large/dp/B003YHB8DO/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n2_0?cv_ct_cx=starmark+dog+toy&dchild=1&keywords=starmark+dog+toy&pd_rd_i=B003YHB8DO&pd_rd_r=76e38755-13c2-4b6f-aaf8-6ac13033157a&...
I use a Fi collar to track his steps and he can rack up 2-4K steps with this toy alone in a given evening.
Thank you!! :) they are from Amazon. Here’s the link to the doggles! They fit her well and she doesn’t completely hate wearing them!

Big long naps usually follow. Get well soon human.
So we actually got one of the blower/dryers on amazon that isn’t too bad for the price. We just used it a few days ago on both pups and my girl did surprisingly well with it considering it was our first time. That being said, we did stop when she started getting stressed but she seemed to like it on her chest, which became super fluffy. The only negative was the heat took forever to warm up but I guess that’s fine as she probably wouldn’t enjoy hot air on her. Should also mention she’s not as fluffy as yours but she is long haired. As for getting the rest of her dried, we just let the fans blow on her from a distance as well as pat down with a towel anywhere that was still wet. Hoping she’ll be more comfortable with the dryer soon.
As for baths, it’s usually a two person job for both of ours. We did start using peanut butter or kong fillers as a reward for them and a distraction. This has worked better with our guy who’s 8 months while our girl seems to prefer to get it done quickly and being told she’s a good girl with some kisses.
Brushing is definitely easier when they are dry or almost dry. With my girl, it’s like brushing her fur wet is like brushing a barbies hair wet: tedious and annoying and she doesn’t like it. We use both the undercoat rake and just a regular ol’ brush for her.
Dryer That is the dryer we’ve bought and it’s worked for us so far. Oh we’ve also had to plug it to a surge protector and not directly to the wall outlet because otherwise it made a almost squealing noise when the nozzle was near the dryer. Other than that, it works fine.
Thank you, shes a sweetheart. Very cuddly and affectionate :)
Grizzly Salmon Oil is pretty good but might be a bit pricey. I just feed her the food with the adds and it works for her. Super fluffy.
I started after about a year and a half. Her stomach was super sensitive for a while. Still is honestly so I don't stray from her diet too much. If you want to avoid the begging or food stealing, try not to feed him off your plate.
Enjoy man, feel free to hit me up if you have questions. They are a joy once you get that equilibrium with them.
I should point out that at 8 months you're dealing with the 'teenager' phase in your husky's life, so the tantrum and general disobedience relative to where she used to be is something to be expected. Keep with the positive reinforcement.
Try to find a different solution during the day. Have you tried using a tall exercise pen? You can have it in your house - that's where we have ours (we let our husky out more often as well).

Looks like the same or very similar at least. It looks like they also have it in most Toys R Us stores as well.
This is what we got
http://www.amazon.com/Regalo-Easy-White-spaces-between/dp/B001OC5UMQ/ref=zg_bs_2975346011_1
Its holding up to his abuse so far ;)
Is what I am doing ok so far, he will be starting puppy classes soon too :)
We had the same problems with Zeta when she was younger, and she can still get stubborn and pull when she doesn't want to go back. The way I normally combat her impulses is to distract her with either treats, or start pointing out phantom squirrels or deer. I elevate my voice and get her excited by saying "Look over there," and point back home. (Yes, I might look crazy to passers by, but at least it motivates her to move with me.)
Going different ways is a great way to break the routine and trick them into going back home without them noticing.
If your husky pulls, then you should do sit-stays with them until they stop pulling. Also, you might want to consider a training collar for them. We use this one: http://www.amazon.com/StarMark-Training-Collar-Large-Blue/dp/B000A6BD5K and it works great. It's not meant to choke or hurt them, just a gentle pinch that gets their attention.
I hope that helps!
