Why does my dog get aggressive with my husband around the bed?

Question

When I am in the bed, my dog does not allow my husband to get on the bed and now my dog won’t let my husband walk near the bed too only if I am on the bed. Why is that? My husband and I hug or kiss my dog starts to bark and beg me to hold him. On top, when my husband and I lay together, my dog will come between us and if my husband try to push him... my dog starts to growl at my husband. FYI, we raised together when he was 8weeks and my husband and simba plays well together ! Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Simba is either resource (you and/or the bed) guarding or trying to assert dominance over your husband. I would not allow Simba on the bed until your husband is in the bed OR Simba isn't allowed in the bed at all! the second is my recommendation. This is unacceptable behavior and should be taken seriously. Growling may lead to biting and that is not acceptable. You can also have a light leash on him so that you can pull him from in between the 2 of you to prevent a bite. Personally Simba should be removed from the bed permanently and trained to sleep on a bed on the floor or trained to sleep at the bottom of the bed. I wish you the best!
