English term or phrase: a real going concern
Testo teatrale canadese (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra due persone. Una delle due ha un cane.

A: That dog is a real going concern, isn’t it?
B: He’s untrainable.

La mia proposta:

A: Quel cane è proprio un impegno, eh?

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.

non fa che crearti problemi


Explanation:
Un altro suggerimento.

A livello più colloquiale, proverei a renderlo così, visto che nella battuta successiva parla del fatto che è inaddestrabile.
