 Grr...what would you do?
I was taking Kiwi for a nice walk...the entire time she was acting a little weird, she wouldn't walk with me properly. Suddenly, when I wasn't paying attention, she makes a move and starts RUNNING AWAY !! (the leash slipped out of my hand). I was chasing her on the side-walk right next to a busy road. I finally just put my foot on the end of her leash to make her stop, which jolted her back (it probably hurt her, but she does have a harness). I immediately picked her up, said "NO BAD GIRL" in the deepest loudest voice I could, brought her back to the apartment, and locked her in the closet for 10minutes. Is this too harsh??? I wonder if she even knows why she got a timeout because it was 5minutes after she was naughty. I have no idea why she tried to do this, she could've been killed! |
