Today, my new dog broke out of his new crate, ate my door, pissed on the floor, and trashed my room. I got him to help with my anxiety, but all he does is give me more anxiety. The worst part is that I adopted him as a favor to a friend, because she couldn’t handle him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I punished my new dog for taking a shit inside by putting him in the kennel. He punished me by breaking out of the kennel and destroying everything in my house. Including Christmas presents. FML
Today, I invited my boyfriend over to meet my new puppy. My dog decided to take a dump on his lap. He is now not talking to me because he thinks I trained my dog to do that. FML
Today, my new boyfriend is so scared of dogs that he won’t even go in the room where my new puppy's bed is, so even on the days when he’s at home not working, I still have to pay the lad next door to come round and let it into the garden for a pee, because he’s too scared to open the door. FML
Today, and ever since my girlfriend insisted we needed a dog, our lives have been taken over by the little bastard. She can’t leave without him chewing everything from separation anxiety. He bites me if I so much as walk near him. Neither of us want him anymore but she feels too guilty to rehome him. FML
Today, after I got a cat to help with my anxiety, it turns out he also has anxiety. FML
Today, my dog got his head stuck in a container, panicked, and shat himself all over the living room. FML
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, I went home for lunch. Upon opening the door, I smelled something horrid. My dog had opened his cage, eaten all the dog treats, and had diarrhea all over my bed and bedroom floor. FML
Today, I came home to find my dog had learned how to open our fridge. He ate the birthday cake I was saving for a friend's surprise party, and to add insult to injury, he'd also apparently thrown the barely digested cake up all over my bed. FML

I applaud you for trying to help, but typically dogs that are that difficult to handle (have to be rehomed) are not good for helping anxiety.

you got a difficult dog to help with your anxiety, hmmm... if you don't want to give it up I'd suggest getting professional help with training it. either option will unfortunately probably still lead to elevated anxiety in the short term

Why did you adopt such a bad dog? You do have easily gone to the Humane Society or SPCA and adopted a sweet one for next to nothing.

He's in a new place with a new person. My brother is a vet and he recommends Perfect Puppy in 7 Days by Sophia Yin. Try it even if he's not a puppy. Training is important and leads to happier, healthier dogs.

I can't help but say YDI You knew the dog was high maintenance and hard to handle going in and took it anyway

try CBD oil. For you and the pup.

sounds like it needs a. lot of training which you obviously have no idea on how to do.

I mean you definitely knew his attitude before hand, knew he was going to need work. It sucks but you need to find your pets with compatibility not just cause yknow?
