How can you stop your dog from barking when your husband gets in bed?
Your dog is being territorial of you and the bed. Your husband is not his favorite person and he does not want your husband messing with "his" stuff, AKA you and the bed. To solve this problem the dog needs to see that you and your husband own him and he does not own you or the bed. You need to buy a dog crate. Make it as comfortable as possible and show your dog that it is his by playing with him and giving him treats inside of the crate. Teach your dog that going into the crate is a treat and not a punishment. As soon as you make the crate a bad thing then it will ruin the system. Don't lock your dog in the crate. Once he is having fun inside of the crate put him in it and close the door but don't lock it. Give him a treat through the door and then let him out. Make this a new game. He goes in the crate, you shut the door, he gets a treat, and then he comes out. once he is used to it, make another game. He goes in the crate, you shut and lock the door, you walk out of the room and once you are out of sight then walk right back in to the room, he gets a treat, and then he comes out. From that point on extend the time that you stay out of sight until he can stay in the crate for several hours. Get your husband to work him him too, it will help their relationship. Once your dog is crate trained, then he needs to sleep in the crate at night and not in your bed. You may not want to do this but, he will feel more comfortable, you will feel more comfortable, and your husband will be a lot happier. By giving your dog a place of his own you put security into his life. Your husband is never going to try to get into your dog's new territory so he can rest at ease and feel a lot more comfortable around your husband and around the house. The location of the crate is your choice, if you want it can be in your room. Make sure that the first thing you do in the morning is open the crate door and let him come out. My dog is crate trained and if I leave the crate door open then he will return to his crate during the day to sleep or hang out. He knows that it is his spot and he feels comfortable there. Good luck with your training!

Dogs are by nature den creatures and desire a place of their own. A crate located in your home gives your dog a place to call their own. It provides them security and comfort. Dog crates come in many different sizes. To determine the appropriate Dog Crate Size, measure your dog's height and length. The best crate will allow your dog to stand up on all fours without having to bend their necks to shoulder level. The crate should also allow your dog to lie down and stretch his full body length without being cramped and they should be able to turn around easily. You do not want a dog crate that is too big either. When a dog has too much room in the crate, he/she might decide to go potty in one corner and sleep in the other. If the crate is just the right size for sleeping and lounging, the dog will usually not go potty in the same place it sleeps or lives. If you have a puppy, you will most likely want to buy a bigger size crate that will work as your puppy grows. Make sure that the crate you purchase has a divider panel. A divider panel allows you to adjust the size of the crate as your puppy grows. A divider panel solves the problem of a crate being too big. Dog crates are available in single door, double door and triple door design. Multiple doors allow you more access to your pet and their living quarters. It's up to you as to how much access you want to the crate. Most dog crates come with a free pan. A pan is usually made of durable plastic and serves as the floor of the crate. The pan can be easily cleaned if there are any accidents and for just regular maintenance. Divider panels can also come with a crate or can be an optional feature.
