I completely agree, puppies are a LOT of work. I have always had bigger dogs, so at 8 weeks our previous puppies were already Dukes size full grown...LOL
I started outside potty training right away so I was taking Duke to work with me daily to make sure he went outside every 1/2 hour.
It was very overwhelming at first, I was was afraid to go anywhere and leave him alone to long so it seemed like I was stuck at home. I was questioning my decision daily.
I got easier as the days went by, and now at 7 months its not bad at all. I love him to death and couldn't imagine life without him.
Give it some time. However, puppies aren't for everyone.
Good luck,
