How do I get my new puppy to like my husband?

Myndee W asked:


My husband and I just got a German Sheperd puppy and since the day we got him, he has been terrified of my husband. We were told that he was easily intimidated by men but its to the point where my husband enters the room, and the puppy runs away! We have tried everything, treats, walks, praise and nothing seems to work. My husband feels like hes done something wrong but he has been nothing but kind and loving to this puppy. Does anyone have any advice on how to get this new addition to our family to not run everytime my husband comes into the room?
