I think I'm starting to hate Kai...She's tuning me out, testing my limits, and just losing her loyalty. I think I made a mistake. Maybe I shouldn't have asked for the little puppy. Maybe she would have been better of with someone who was willing to dedicate every minute of their life to her, not someone who had to deal with school, and friends and could not manage a growing puppy properly. Kai doesn't listen to me any more. She tunes me out. When I came home this morning from an over-night with my friends, I played with her, said hello, and ran through some tricks in the back yard. Then I pulled out my camera to take photos, and she stopped listening. I know what you might say, "Maybe she doesn't like the camera" but no, she loves the camera. I'll take it out and she'll get all exited and is ready for me to play and get some cool photos. She just stopped listening. I called her, "Kai!" so she would look at me; she didn't even flick her ear. I took the stick she was chewing on earlier and tried to make that exiting to lure her to look at me; she just looked for a second before continuing to bark irritably at nothing. I was at wits end. I turned around and left.
I did something wrong. When I got her, she was such a loving, bonded puppy. She wanted to be with ME. But now, she doesn't. She seems afraid of me. I do things she used to enjoy doing with me, and she just gives me the, "What the hell?" stare. I think I blew my chances with her when she was little and all I wanted her to do was tricks tricks tricks. I never spent bonding time with her. Or, at least bonding time that wasn't wrestling. That was a mistake, too. Now all she does is bite. Bite bite bite. My arms are bruised and scratched, it hurts bad. And when I tell her, "Kai, NO BITING." She looks at me and snaps at my face while barking and wagging her tail. Saying, "Please play with me!". I give her a toy and try to play with that, all she does is BITE.
On our walks, she pulls, she barks in a gut-wrenching, scary way; and she DOESN'T LISTEN. She ignores me completely. I didn't socialize her right.
I feel guilty in front of a million people.
I messed this dog up in an irreversible way and now she hates me.
I can't even touch her anymore...

Oh trust me...dogs get moody at times. Don't worry about it. Li got like that at that age and I'm sure Zap will too. You just stick it out and it gets better. :D
