My siberian husky is 20 weeks old now I got her when she was 8 weeks, Her name is Sy. I got a husky bc they are independent thinkers, very active, and like to explore.
Here is my problem she won't leave my side. For example when we are watching tv at night in the living room she will lay down just chilling then if one of my friends come over and sits next to me she will wedge herself between us and just sit down. When we are in my room this is where her crate is, if anyone trys to come in my room she will stand in the door way growling( I can understand invading our territory)
Usually on the weekend we go to my moms house for diner shes fine w. all of them but if i step outside for one min to get the mail she starts wining like there is no tomorrow. At home I can't go to the bathroom w/o leaving the door open for her. When Im around she plays with her toys and everything but the moment I'm gone she stops. Before I go to work we do a 6 mile run so when I put her in the crate when I go to work she usally just falls a sleep. Is there any way I can break her obsessive habit. No I don't give into her wining.

Therefore you are allowing her to be alpha by not immediately stopping her and letting her know its not her job, after all, the rest of the pack is protected by the alpha, they do not protect him.
Take a good look at how you are treating the dog. If needed, sign the dog up for classes ASAP if you do not know how to assume that position yourself. Maybe not just a regular training class either, something that is more geared to your problem.
When the dog steps forward to great others before you, or tries to protect you from others who approach without being trained and specifically told to (ie trained K-9), it is assuming a higher position than you or challenging you for alpha.
Its not very hard to stop this behavior, if you catch it quick enough in the beginning of the actual event happening, you can stop them and assume that position without having to physically assert yourself (no hands on them).
Pretty dog, very nice.

When I `got her I researched this before hand, I make sure she see's me eat 1st i go through door ways 1st i don't let her get away w. pulling jumping or going on my bed or any furniture. If she does something wrong I hold her down till she yelp's Im told this is what there mother does. Is there anything else I can do to show her im alpha?

The second you see the dog get up, stair, and advance, you jump up, get between the dog and whoever it is, you get the dogs attention, and do not let them around you, tell them sit, and stay, then praise them for relaxing and no confronting the individual.
That problem is common with doorways and many dogs (those who confront at the door think they own it). My husky at one time ran to the door when someone rang the doorbell, then wanted to be the first to check them out, and got excited, even if it was a friendly confrontation it was annoying, it was him saying "I own the door, I will check them out first", this is the same idea. All it took was for me to take back the door, this took a few seconds the first few times someone rang that bell. My mix breed puppy stops like the husky 6-8ft away, but gets excited yet and tries to greet them just inside the doorway(not very often someone comes and rings the doorbell lately). It is amazing how well it works, no physical force is needed, and no yelling, calm and assertive. My mix breed puppy would do this confronting (now very rarely he attempts it), when on the leash walking, he would bark, and jump at others, now its a very rare occasion that I have to remind him that this is wrong.
Just watch for any indications during daily routines that could seem to you as them confronting people, or trying to greet people before you do, or without your permission.
If you set down to them that you do the protecting, you do the greeting, and you check people out first, and you give permission as a reward to them to check others out afterwards, you are in charge of yet one more part of their life, they will get better behaved.
I hope this helps.

your dog is beautiful and so clean. i love clean looking huskies.

But, it could possibly be anxiety problems. She just needs to know that you won't always be around if anxiety is the case. Try leaving her in her crate (if crate trained) or just in a room by herself and let her whine until she stops then let her out again.
