I have a beautiful 4 year old female husky that was given to me as a gift from my ex-husband. Since little she has shown some aggressive issues. I took her to a dog training school when she was one year old but she keeps being aggressive/possessive with everything. For example if she likes to sleep in one of the rooms because is dark during the day and I try to go to the room for something she immediately doesn't let me in and growls at me in a very aggressive way (wolf like), the same thing if I walk close to her blanket, bones, etc. I take her toys away when she does that but she will still get aggressive with territory. She's also aggressive with dogs smaller than her and small kids but is very loving to adults.
I take her out twice a day for a walk (20mins in the morning and 1hr in the afternoon) and take really good care of her (vitamins, quality food, heart worm pills, front line for fleas, always have cold water available, etc). She's very obedient when I call her (which I now is not normal for huskies - they like to have selective hearing) and does all of the commands inside and out of the house. I also take her from time to time to the beach and constantly on car drives so I don't understand why she even wants to be aggressive with me.
When she was 2 years old I found out that my ex-husband got her for free and both parents (huskies) were very aggressive. When she growls I spray some apple cider vinegar which stops the growling but not the problem in general. Do I have some hope about her aggression and what else can I do??? I know is my fault for not socializing her with other dogs since a puppy but at least she was always around people.
To "walking lady": If you read my description you'll see that I've been trying to do something about it. I've tried school and giving her the best environment possible I just didn't know what else to do. Please do not show me as an irresponsible owner which I'm not
