To Pee or Not to Pee

Is it truly that hard to house train a puppy? The first night with our new pup, we decided to put him in bed with us. I took precautionary measures and placed the pee-proof baby bed mattress protector that my daughter once used between my husband and me. After a lot of hopping, licking, and craziness, my hubby decided to move him to the foot of the bed (with the protector). 3 seconds later, the dog ran back up between us and peed. I don’t know why we tried so hard. We never even let the 3 yr old in bed with us. So why would we let this urine dropping terrorist take over?

Now, we watch his every move, rushing him outside at the slightest wiggle to prevent a mess…right after he eats, right after he drinks, right when he wakes up, right when he inhales, right when he exhales… inside, outside, inside, outside. Yet still, he finds a way to pee on the floor as we all simultaneously blink our eyes.

Would it be bad of me to just buy some of those puppy diapers and just give it up at this point?
