We don't "think" these dogs are so lovely...we KNOW they are. We also realize that having patience and compassion goes along with owning any pet.
It infuriated me to see the words "the darn thing","cornered" and "facing a leather belt". If I were the breeder of your puppy I'd see to it he was returned and taken away from that treatment. I also hope you are not teaching your children to threaten animals with belts and I certainly hope you are not actually striking him with it.
I guess this was my oppotunity to vent.
