I think Teddy (my dog) needs better owner/s

I really love teddy but feel like he deserves a better life. Its very sad but feel like i cant keep on top of looking after him. He needs grooming a lot which can be hard to keep on top off and he sometimes gets matted which is my fault. He stil wees round the house & hes nearly 2 and must be my fault. I sometimes forget to feed him, he deserves a walk everyday and for longer but doesnt always happen. And i can not train him to be a better dog outside. He is clearly scared & barks at every thing he sees trying toget at it and peope think he is visous but yeah hes not so dk how to train him i watched a load of youtube stuff and still confused and other day he tried to bite a dog that was off the lead and he tried to bite a strangers hand but i could tell if it was play bite. And everytime he goes in the garden he barks at everyone walking past and soo annoying as my neighbours probs hate us now. & when hes in the garden it takes forever to get him in as he doesnt wanna come back in.
Anyway my family could help and sometimes does since hes seen as a family dog but they dont do that much to help. And he is really good dog inside the house is just when hes outside & the fact i cant keep ontop of what he needs as im too sad to even look after myself properly sometimes. But do care about him & also hard to afford things like grooming. So as sad as it is i really think he needs better owners who will keep ontop of his grooming and train him better. He is getting groomed today but i am actually scared that they will think he looks neglected as some matts in him which idk if is okay

“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

Just in case that’s helpful!
i feel better since he has been groomed and has no matts. I just need to try and keep brushinf him and stuff.
And he just had a walk with his new lead that has no pull. And it actually works. And he didnt pull and he wasnt so out of breath. So maybe can try to train him while on walks as maybe will listen to me.
Ive not heard of BorrowMyDoggy but will def look more into it
Hes a bichon frise crossed shih tzu. So he has curly hair too that doesnt moult.
How does the collor work- how did it know when it vibrate ? Does the collar harm them? Sorry too many questions ah
but now i think about it having the no pull harness and anti bark collar isnt that bad cause it makes him less stressed because hes not constantly on gaurd when in the garden and realise he doesnt need to guard it. Cause i just took the collor off him and put him in the garden loads of people went by but he did nothing when before he would get really stressed out. And the harness helps because he doesnt pull on the lead and surely constantly pulling on a lead would hurt his throat
