Welcome to Pet Talk!
I really have no advice further on what they have said either. At our Humane Society, they allow us to take a dog home and see how it works for one week. If it doesn't work out, you can either get your money back, or pick a new dog. Maybe you could try something like that?
Good luck!-Hope that you stick around!-
