Honestly, I get that. People are very gushy about adopting a new pet and sure, there's a lot of neat things about bringing a dog into your life. But... sometimes it's not a smooth process. I have a dog who was similar - fairly well behaved (though not with cats) and fine, but he was a shelter dog and I'm guessing not well socialized. He didn't understand what toys were for, he wasn't very affectionate, he was really anxious and clingy, though.That can be emotionally draining because it's a lot of work without that fuzzy, feelgood reward of a dog who loves you.

I won't say it's a guaranteed happy ending, but be kind to yourself and give yourself time. There's a saying about the time period of letting a new dog adjust:

(And I don't want to be a downer, but it took us waaaaaaay longer than three months for our dog to settle in.)
