9 month old male husky afraid of my husband

Question
Hi. I have a 9 month old male husky who is neutered. My husband and I purchased this husky when he was only 2 months old. Since then we have done nothing but love this dog. For the first 3 months of having my husband worked really hard on training him so he would be a well behaved dog, so much that our vet even complimented my husband on how well he had done. We take our husky to the dog park twice a day for about 2 hours at a time or more of we have the day off just so he can run around be socialized with other dogs and humans. We do everything for him and have also put a lot of money into our husky for when hr gets into stuff he shouldn't and that requires a special trip to the vet. Since the day we brought him home he has a very odd fear of my husband. He has never smacked the dog at all. When we train we train based on praising when he does somethig good and ignoring when he isn't being good. Earlier this evening I had found some blood on the carpet and didn't know which animal it came from for we also have 2 cats. My husband came out and started looking over our husky and he just started to pee all over my husband. My husband is in a sense fed up with the dog because no matter how much he loves him, plays with him, and even coddles him the dog will run and hide from him. He's at a point now where hr just doesn't want to care for him anymore and I know my husband loves our dog but I don't know what to do or how to fix my dogs fear of my husband. Please help me! Thank you

Sometimes, when you have what we call a "soft" dog, they are just naturally more fearful of people who are bigger, louder, and more direct in their approach.  So, if you can just get your hubby to use a lighter voice, not get louder when he issues commands, and generally approach the dog by turning his own body to the side and not making direct eye contact, the dog may be less fearful.  Also, if you are doing the feeding, switch to having your husband feed the dog for a few weeks, and you don't do it at all.  Sometimes that helps.  Often, men have no idea how intimidating they appear, even when it isn't their intention to look that way;-)  I sometimes tell men in my class to speak to their dogs in the smallest voice they can muster so that the dog will also respect the children in the household.  
Often, dogs will be fearful when you bend over them, as your hubby had to do to examine him.  In canine language, putting your body parts over another dog's body parts is a threat.  So, your dog was just trying to appease the "big dog" in the same way that a subordinate dog would if he were being threatened by another dog.  Submissive urination is best ignored - if you make a big deal of it, the dog simply wants to appease more, and doesn't realize that it is his appeasement signals that are making you upset.
