My husky is the same way. I don't know if that's normal husky behavior, or just because she happened to grow up around cats.

Huskies are notorious for being attention hungry. It makes them relatively easy to train despite also being characteristically stubborn. If they seem to be getting anxious, try appeasing them with a little reinforcement training for a command they know (e.g.: sit, roll over, etc.). If your dog is particularly smart, you can treat it like a quiz game and try to mix them up.

The key thing is just satisfying their desire to feel acknowledged, useful, and challenged (just like me fr fr). Checking those boxes once or twice a day generally gets you one chill pupper.

After all huskies are supposed to be running cat OS on dog hardware.
