i used to have the same problem with my dog and my girlfriend. she didn't want my girlfriend anywhere near me. and after a while of sitting in the corner and staring at her, growling every time she got close, she began to ease up and ended up loving her as much as she did me. but if your dog is a boy then he is jealous and protecting you, he knows your a female. give him time and good luck.

If you are sure that your husband treats the puppy affectionately (no anger expressed for accidents or other undesirable behaviour), then he should take over as primary caregiver for a while. He should start by being the only one to feed the puppy.
The "family" pet will always favour the one who feeds it and plays with it most.
If he takes takes the puppy for walks alone, that will also help them bond.
You could also leave them alone together in the house, so the pup understands it's not "your" house that you allow your husband to visit. The pup will learn your husband's place in the home.

Your husband needs to step up and be the dominant one before the puppy gets too big.
Thats really all I can help with since you don't have more specifics on here.
Does this happen at certain times?
What does your husband do when he does this??
What has your husband tried to do?
What breed and where did you get the pup??

Could he possibly be playing? Our cocker spaniel did (and still does, sometimes) the same thing. He will growl and show his teeth, but it's really his way of playing. Another possibility is jealousy--does the puppy spend most of his time with you? Also, some dogs don't like the sounds of certain voices ... just a few possibilities.

Could you add some more details? My puppy barks at my husband too, but I don't consider it a problem.

Your husband has to show the dog that he your husband is the pack leader .Watch the dog whisper and learn.

Tell him in a very stern voice "QUIET!"
Show your husband affection in front of the dog and then bring the dog into the embrace (loose embrace).
Also your husband should hug the dog and not let him wiggle away - hold the dog until it stops wiggling - it will establish you husband's dominance over the dog.

I think he secretly kicks the puppy when you are not watching
ask the husband and ask the puppy and see who is telling the truth

Did your husband ever yell, scream, or do something to your dog that it didn't appreciate? If you adopted this dog from a shelter/pound, it probably had a bad experience with men and now will not let whatever happened happen again.

Pop him on the nose and tell him no when he does this. Let him know that he cannot do this. Also, make sure that your husband isn't teasing the dog or doing anything to provoke this. If he is, then it's his own fault! Don't punish the dog.
