There is a big difference between an Obedience Trainer and a Behavioralist.
Obedience Trainers are those that help with the basic "table manners" that we all would like our Husky to have, but only have some of those. Your Husky may be missing a few or all the commands, so Obedience Trainers show you positive ways to get them to respond to a command. The classes usually go for about 6-8 weeks and you attend them once or sometimes twice a week.
Behavioralists are the special people. They handle the special cases of behavior that is not acceptable for a dog. A few of those examples are growling or biting when you may be near your dog's food bowl, near their cage, sleep area, or taking a item that they may have. Behavioralist show the positive way of taking this behavior and neutralizing it so that the behavior becomes dormant. Most of the time, these behavior's can be handled appropriately and positively, but there is no guarantee of course and the classes go until the behavior is dormant and neutralized.
In either case, using a Obedience Trainer or Behavioralist is a great way to not only bond with your Husky but to assist the Husky and You to be aware of what is appropriate and what isn't. I always recommend doing a course every other year as it refreshes your companion and you to have a forever home together.
