How to control him outside!!!

I have had my Siberian Husky for about 6 weeks now. He has taken to me incredibly. So far, I have been training him and we have been doing pretty good. But I find he gets distracted extremely easily and that the only way I can really get him to listen is if he knows I have treats in my pocket. I want to be able to walk without a leash and when another dog or something else around us moves, he has to check it out. He also has a biting habit, he doesn't chew anything in the house, we can even leave him for a few hours alone and nothing. Next week he will be 6 months old and I don't want him to continue with any bad habits however, I am not sure as to what I should do to get him to stay by me and ignore the outside world or what I should do to get him to stop biting. Other than that, we are pretty much good with everything else. ( Except his rough playing can be scary when a child wants to come near and he gets excited) Should we go to a training school and how do I choose one that won't break his spirit yet will teach him to obey?
Thanks for your help, desperatly trying everything...

hello fellow husky parent! have you tried any bite inhibition techniques, for example: when the dog bites your hand, keep your hand in their mouth(do not pull away, they will think this is a game) and screeching "ouch". if you try this consistantly for a week or two this should help. a puppies attention span is very limited at this age, especially a huskies, work with the treats and breakl it up a little, example..... sascha sit,yes, good sit, give treat.
sascha sit, yes,good sit, lots of love.(sound excited).
We strongly recommend puppy training classes and that's not a plug because we are dog trainers but Huskies are just like 6 year old kids wired on chocolate and suffering from lack of sleep. 2 of them own us and we have been around huskies and various kinds of dogs for 20 odd years.

Off leash walking is so not recommended for any dogs under 5 years old because they are still unpreditable no matter how obedient they may be and that is a good way for you to lose your friend. Huskies have a natural instinct to Run at top speed for as long as they can and they have no fear at all. Most common cases in Husky deaths is being hit by a Vehicle.
