Yeah I was thinking about first introducing it in the living room and giving him a treat everytime he goes in there and then once he starts to like it, then at night put him in it right on the table beside my bed so he's right next to me sleeping. I"m just worried that he won't be able to hold his pee... I'll get a smaller one then the one i posted a few min. ago...

give it a try maybe?? and remember he's a baby, it's never out of spite a dog does something...they don't know what spite is really, they're just either anxious or scared, or something just excited when they release their bladder like that...teach him it's a good place to be, it's not punishment and it's not keeping him away from you because you are right there with him.
