Ha, is "go to jail" go-to-bed for Loki?  That's incredibly funny.  

No, jail is his crate in the living room.

For bed, we just say bedtime. He is starting to get the bedtime routine though and he sits at the stairs with my other 2 dogs waiting for me to take down the gate so he can run upstairs to bed (upstairs restricted when we are not up there for cats).

When Dizzy is in trouble it's, "go to your room!" That's his baby gated area in the alcove. He hangs his head and heads in.

Denali has rarely shown affection. When she has it has always been on her terms. Kodiak on the other hand loves attention and actively seeks affection although occasionally will look at me when I call him and then go the other way but its rare.

Yup. Especially Nunya. If we try to pet Nunya he will duck his head/maneuver away, sometimes even back away. He acts like we beat him on a regular basis if we try to touch him first. He'll walk up to us for pets but always for less than 30 seconds. He follows us around, but he still dislikes being touched. Unless you're new. Then he'll practically crawl in your lap. These dogs are traitors.

My husky puppy Nanook never wants to be around me unless it's what HE wants and i want him to love me. I thought Huskies were supposed to be loving and affectionate?

Bonds take time to form, when you have that bond with Nanook, his love for you will be unconditional and you will definitely see it!
