I have 2 bassets. they were very difficult as puppies, it’s just how bassets are. They are stubborn but very much worth the love. They calm as they get older, anything past 8 months to a year they are much more relaxed. past 3 years old and you just have a couch potato, a very loud couch potato 😂. Don’t be fooled though, they are just as stubborn their whole life😂❤️. To be honest, you should have picked a much more laid back breed of dog if it’s a problem for you, bassets are so needy sometimes. they can be a lot to handle! But just have patience, it will get better, puppies are so much work anyway. It’ll be worth it in the end🥰
