Due to your dogs reaction, I am curious as to how was your husband "disciplining" your dog?
If it was "physical" (I HOPE IT WAS NOT
), your dog may never over come that. We had a pet who was physically disciplined by a pervious owner and even though we have never laid a hand on her unless it was in a loving manner, never got over her fear and we have had for over 10 years in our family.
Now if it is just verbal, than he will need to work on his tone with your dog and do some positve reinforcement.
Like the two of them in a room together, your husband having an abundance of treats and speaking to your pup in loving tones and giving loving touches.
Just my suggestions...
