I would def.get him neutered, that will take away some of this aggression. Your husband can spoil him but he also has to show this dog that HE is still the Alpha. When he bites in a non playful way your hubby should tell him in a firm tone NO BITING and give him a toy to bite, or put him in time out, that seems to work for you. 6.5 I assume that's his age,if so,yes they neuter males around 8 months to a year old. He is still a puppy and training NO BITE is important. Puppies when playing do growl, it does sound like a non playful grown, but it's usually just playing. It seems he is testing your husband in how far he can go with this biting, your husband has to take control NOW. If the pup is on your husbands lap, or sitting on the sofa with him and he goes for the face, your husband should NOT hold him down by his neck, he should remove the dog off of him, and give him a toy that he can bite and kill.
