I have a male Pyr and 5 other dogs and the Pyr rules all. It's his yard and he will guard it, the females may run behind him but the males better stay clear. We constantly scolded him for aggressive behavior with the other dogs and he eventually eased up. The other dogs also know to stay clear. The other dogs are small except a golden retiever who doesn't guard anyways. Luckily we have no dog capable of challenging him so our problem solved itself. That husky mix is going to be a problem because of the spitz backround, they are fighters. Your problem may never go away. Some Pyr's rule all, no exceptions, or die trying. Hope you can work it out.   

My 100lb. Pyr was chewing on my 35lb. mutts head tonight. He's okay just scared the heck out of us. Male pyr's can be vicious.
Females can be vicious also, the first Pyr I ever saw was a stray at the pound, she attacked a pit bull just walking by her in the hall. Not hard to figure out why she was there.

Kinda looks like a pyr but could be a mix. Pyrs are roamers so that sounds unusual but I have a Shiba Inu who was a stray and now will not leave the house.
If it is a Pyr it may seem timid but make him mad and he will send shivers up and down your spine (or an unwelcome intruders).
Strays need alot of reassuring and comforting to fit in, other dogs help.

I have five dogs including one pyr who all love to bark and I live in a city neighborhood. One of my neighbors complained to the city about barking and I got a letter. I was told two neighbors need to complain for the city to take any action. The complainers would need to sign a complaint sheet and be willing to submit the complaint to the city. I don't know if any of my neighbors would back up the original complainer but I did learn I would have a hearing and have the chance to prove the complaints were false (with a lawyer if needed). I doubt if anyone would back up my whining neighbor if they risk perjury. Luckily they never went that far.
Also you can play payback, many things are illegal that are not enforced unless someone complains. Parking on the sidewalk, commercial vehicles, mini bikes, building without permits, unlicensed contracting, open fires, etc. Maybe taking away something they love will make them think twice about complaining again.
I obey the laws pertaining to dog barking in my city mostly because I understand it can be irritating but I will not tolerate a liar. My whining neighbor moved within a year, I think he got tired of my complaining.
Don't get mad, get even and good luck.  
    

No, he hates being confined, We gave up on crating as a puppy he never quit barking. He's a rebel in many ways, very stubborn.

My GP Cody basically was uncratable as a puppy. He barked all night long and as much as we tried to ignore him we gave in and let him out (after weeks of trying). He was born on a farm where his parents were guard dogs and I just think he was spoiled running free as a puppy. GP's were bred to be free and I think it's unfair to lock them up against there will. Sounds like some are more strong willed than others and Cody is definetly strong willed.
Good luck.
