Worst case scenario would be to take the dog back with full discloser regarding his behavior. However I think that most dogs can be turned around, with the exception of aggression torwards other dogs. People should be seen as alpha, so this is usually correctable with positive reinforcements. Treats do wonders. If all else fails, at least the dog may find an owner that might offer a better living situation. (single person with no kids) Remember she is only a year and a half old, which means she is going through puberty and hormonal changes. I would think that with training and patience she will most certainly grow out of this. Many dogs go through this around this age, just like teenagers. My 6 year old GSD went through the same thing at 2 years old. A few people said to put him down, but with training he turned out to be one of the best dogs I have ever owned.
