Also just to add, if we go out for potty and his feet get wet/dirty, I use the mud sink in the garage and i have some carpet remnants before the entrance to the house that he can run on and dry them off. We also have a potty cloth to blot his winky of excess moisture, I never thought I would do this, but I am not uncomfortable in the least bit, it keeps bedding clean and nothing for him to lick up
My dh is also on board with it all and actually does all of Bubba's bathing

He has a much more calm assertive manor when Bubba whimpers, I just kind of melt and try to finish asap. Bubba has grown to love bath time
