It doesn't seem love, affection or tenderness toward the dog were mentioned much along with the faults though one can to some degree understand why perhaps. It doesn't sound as if he has the leadership or connection or affection dogs usually need not to become frustrated and unsure. When insecure and uncertain of their leader, the highly emotional terrier will often act out while a big old Bloodhound might not. Continuing to reconsider a rehome fairly soon before things deteriorate might be better for both of you. No doubt there is some lady somewhere fairly near who has worked with dogs like him before, would love and have the time and nature to work with a dog like this and lovingly bring the doggie along to reshape him into a loving pet. It just takes something extra with some dogs sometimes. Don't beat yourself up or think the dog is a bad or anything. Things don't always work out in one home that are perfect for another sometimes. Hopefully better days for both of you are ahead.
