Okay so maybe I'll give some advice after all. I hope I'm not being rude or offensive - I just want to make sure you understand where we are all coming from.

The reason why people are concerned about your husband feeling the way he does is because you really should NOT get a dog if your husband doesn't want one. If he said absolutely not and then only said yes once he found out that they "came potty trained" then you have you understand that he will not be happy when you get a dog. Mainly because they do not come potty trained and they WILL pee on your carpet. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Yorkies and toy breeds are notorious for being tough to potty train and I know does who are 3, 4, 5 years old who STILL are not potty trained. It will not be easy.

If your husband does not want a dog he will not feel comfortable with a dog in the house and the dog will sense that, making it both uncomfortable and unhappy leading to even more problems with training. It's a cycle. Dogs are extremely sensitive to our emotions and a HUGE investment of time, money, and energy. It is a BIG decision and you should not get one unless you both are completely ready to have one. I know it seems like it's "just a dog" but it's not just a dog. They are living, breathing beings and they require a lot of effort. Too many dogs are in shelters because of this VERY reason.
