I'm sorry.
Genuinely. It's super hard to have a difficult dog. I see people on my security camera who are walking their dogs in the middle of the night because they are afraid of what happens when that dog encounters other people or dogs.
I've been there.
One of the hardest decisions I've ever made was to give up that dog. I felt like a failure.
In hindsight it was also 100% the correct choice for me and my family, and if anything I should have done it sooner. Life is hard enough without feeling an obligation to manage an animal who despite your best efforts won't be managed.
Sometimes it's just not a good fit.
Recognizing it's a family decision, I'd suggest sitting down with your wife and having a frank discussion about how it's impacting your quality of life.
