Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We were told Duke was crate trained, house broken, and good with dogs; all wrong. We thought it would be perfect to have him as a companion to our other dog, especially when they’d have to be alone during the work week. After two months of failed at home training, Duke is still very aggressive and jealous of our other dog. We can’t afford that additional training he needs right now. After consulting with his vet, he needs professional basic training, likely one on one private training, and a behavior modification trainer. He pees submissively and does have accidents in the house if left to free roam. He’s reactive with other dogs besides our own and can be/has been aggressive. We have reason to believe that Duke also has a compulsive disorder, something we didn’t get to touch base on with the vet yet. He paces in circles all day non stop. Sometimes there are triggers and other times it’s for what seems like no reason at all. He needs someone to be home with him and provide training.
