As an aside, a yorkie should never be leash corrected either. |
When I saw that yorkie fly off, I shouted "What the ****?" The zombies were deaf to my objections. The owner didn't seem to care. Neither the owner, nor the trainer were little people and they probably weighed at least 12X more than the 10lb dog. There was no need for this harsh treatment.
