An electric shock collar can be useful but it should be a last resort. Huskies are fairly easy to train so you shouldn't need one. I wouldn't recommend an electric fence because it really just won't work. When your dog crosses the fence, and it will, you risk it running off. My dogs used to cross the fence and then not want to go back across all the time. Also, huskies are jumpers. If you add a fence make sure it's a tall one.

Oh and you won't need this immediately but Petsmart carries Furminator products and they will effectively cut down on the shedding as your puppy gets older.
