When my hubby comes home from work he spends half an hour trying to get hm to stop barking at him. I have noticed he is kinda jumpy around the hubby as well. Kinda makes me think that he was misstreated by a male in th home we got him from.
If there was a male in the home. Perhaps he hasn't been around men before?

I would seriously try to get him socialized to all kinds of situations, places, other animals, traveling in the car, and other places in the hopes that he won't be a barker. It would be good if your husband maybe took him for walks, too. They could bond. I remember you said he was two years old?
But there is still a chance that he can be well-socialized so he wouldn't be a barker or perhaps aggressive. It just sounds like he's getting comfortable enough to show his little personality, too.
