Shedding chow/husky mix.?
What are goid options to stop or decrease the shedding without shaving her?
Last year I took her to petco and they shampooed her and brushed which helped a lot but it was a little on the pricy side.
Any althernatives would be greatly apprexiated! I cannot stand being full of fur.

Brush every day. Use a Denman brush or good quality hairbrush.
Not a dog brush or furminator. Not at all suitable for this type of coat. It will make it fuzzier.
Make sure her diet is suitable, raw is excellent for Northerns.
Add a high quality good oil to her diet.
Why would you get a husky mix if you can't stand being full of fur? Brush your dog out daily and feed a good diet. DO NOT SHAVE. Shaving a fur-bearing breed can lead to post-shave alopecia or black skin disease. No reputable groomer will agree to shave a fur-bearing breed without a medical reason. They can lose their grooming practice and be liable if your dog gets alopecia due to shaving.
We use a undercoat brush for our chow/akita mix. We use it every day and it works like a charm
Learn how to brush her yourself. It's the only way to decrease shedding. You can't control it by feeding or using any supplements, only by good grooming, which you should be able to learn how to do yourself.
Buy a furmanator and get used to the shedding!
Get her a furminator. They are a little pricey but well worth it
