You’re not communicating. You have a problem, and fixing it doesn’t require getting rid of the dog. It does require your husband actively working with and training the dog. It does require your husband actively cleaning more, including the floor. It does require you telling him all these things. If your family finances can handle it, I would recommend an outside cleaning service that has experience with new babies and dogs that will come in every other week and deep clean everything so your husband just has to keep on top of the day to day.
