How about:
"obstinate"- adjective
1. firmly or stubbornly adhering to one's purpose, opinion, etc.; not yielding to argument, persuasion, or entreaty.
2. characterized by inflexible persistence or an unyielding attitude; inflexibly persisted in or carried out: obstinate advocacy of high tariffs.
3. not easily controlled or overcome: the obstinate growth of weeds.
4. not yielding readily to treatment, as a disease.
OTHER WORDS: Indomitable or Incorrigible.
Let's not forget: "Busy as a beaver" and "tenacious as a terrier."
