Before you judge me by the title of my post please hear me out. I adopted a dog a few days ago that I loved at the shelter. He was amazing, sweet, nice, and easy going. If the shelter allowed I was going to foster to adopt him to see if it worked out before I completely adopted him but I knew I wanted a dog since I had been searching for a dog for months now. I had done my research on dogs I knew everything there was to know about dogs of course I can always learn something new but this isn’t the problem. When the dog gets to my house he changes of course I knew he would change no dog would show his natural personality as he is cooped up all day. When we get home he lunges at me for minor things I wipe his paws off after our daily routines of walks he growls and lunges I have no idea why. He randomly has bits of aggression which is really off putting to me. He will try to come onto my bed and bite my stomach not play bite I mean actually bite my stomach. Behavior issues aren’t truly my problem with him tho as I can train him to be better (I hope he’s not a bad dog at all). Other than this he is really good except I can’t bond with him I already have anxiety and since I got him he makes things so much worse. I got him for companionship and to take care of him but he isn’t a companion to me he makes me feel so horrible about myself since he will not play with anything under any circumstances and won’t eat anything. I’m supposed to love him or at least feel some fondness for him but I don’t I just resent him I really wish I didn’t but I do and I don’t know how to stop feeling this way. I know he is still warming up to me but this way I feel about him and his random aggression is really getting to me. He sort of cats like a feral cat almost. Should I just give it time or rehome him. I haven’t made any bond with him at all although I have tried and do try everyday with him. I don’t want to be attacked as it seems like I’m saying “he’s hard work I don’t want him anymore I just hate how he makes me feel and I really regret getting him. Any advice?
