What is being seen by getting between you and your hubby is splitting behavior.
She talking dog in the very correct manner and is not aware as yet that your hugging and carrying on is perfectly ok for humans.
Dogs do not play in this manner it sen to be rude and she in her brain is trying to stop what she sees as a start of what a fight in the making.
I stay calm and get her working on something other then split up like sits or down or stay or go settle.
With the bird I think she also reading things in prefect dog language and is not aware she reading things wrong to us. Put her to work.
