I wonder what your girlfriend feels about this? First she does not accept the responsibility to take care of and to train her dog properly. Now you have moved in and are training and disciplining the dog, and you admittedly do not like the dog. Is anyone taking this dog for long walks, playing with, interacting with and showing love and compassion? I feel your girlfriend has put her dog and you in a difficult situation. I feel for the dog as it sounds like your training methods are heavy handed and now the dog has anxiety issues. I would recommend a vet visit to rule out health issues especially because of the seizures and a hiring a positive reinforcement trainer to come to the house to TEACH YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND THE PROPER WAY TO TRAIN THE DOG. Do you respond positively at work if your boss reprimands and demeans you or do you react better if he corrects you in a positive way and shows you a better way do it and when you do it correctly praises you?
Do onto others as you would have them do unto you.
PS IT is time for your girlfriend to grow up and do what is right for the living being she has brought into her life. If you ever have kids will she shirk that responsibility too?
