Like Rhonda, I see those posts a lot, too. I hope your husband develops some patience, because if not, then that doesn't bode well for the whole situation. Honestly, I don't know where people get the notion that a puppy can be house trained in the blink of an eye. Look how long it takes human babies to be potty trained!
I will tell you this much and that is that if there is no one home with the doggie during the day, then you are probably in for a long haul. They can't house train themselves and I hope the patience you say you have will hold up. There has always been someone home with ours, but I honestly don't know how people get them house trained when they aren't home.
Please tell your husband to be patient. You can buy the really nice x-pens at toysrus. They are plastic and I really like them.
If you have a fenced yard, the training will be 100% easier and faster, because they love to go outside. Also, hanging bells from the door and teaching them to ring the bells to go out seems to make training them a lot easier, too. Wishing you luck, patience, and fast house breaking!
