Husky's generally are not a good match when you have small dogs or cats in the home already. They have a natural high prey drive and can be extremely territorial. This is very hard to resolve or stop in this breed.

This tends to be a problem with huskys. You may have to consider rehoming one of them. The smaller dog will never feel safe...

Default You can also Look at taking a more agressive approach

I am not someone who believes that you cannot change habits, be it animal or human. I am guessing you do not what to re-home either of your dogs.

I would look into bringing an animal behaviourist in. They usually can do one or two sessions and then give you the techniques to keep up the great work.

Just a suggestion

How long they've been together and just when the attacking happened? Maybe you can come to any obedience or training class that you and the husky could on following and behaving to you.
