Walker and i live in an apartment with dh. He is still not a potty pro, but he's doing better. Big plus for us, there is no carpet in this place. All linoleum and tile. And my husband, while occasionally mocking the dog for his minuscule size and already planning the purchase of a big pooch when we return to the states, LOVES my little guy. He is awesome about "puddles," and Walker has yet to poop in the house (amen amen and again I say amen) Then again he's not home all that often. Good luck with the husband, they can be difficult
