Justin,
Do you guy's have a crate for him, a place of his own to go, I would try to get him use to one. And he still is very young. Small dogs are indeed way more work at times. Ours had
little set backs till she was about a year. Much to my horror. Also get him a choke chain not a heavy one and make corrections by snapping the lead. Puppies are so cute I think the biggest mistake we make is we treat them like babies and are afraid they may break. So generally we talk softly and do not show any authority, more so women. So the dog gets the idea he is boss. I hope it all works out for you guy's, good-luck he is very cute.
The daycare might be a solution but he still has to come home at the end of the day so he needs to realize you are the ones in charge.
