I spanked Scoobers (well I say spanked...tapped his bottom in more of a pushing away motion) when he bit my toes the other night! Shocked the heck out of me that he nipped my toes and you should have seen the kids jump when they saw me use my hand instead of a time out...
I wonder what the OP meant by "spanked" my version of spanked or like really spanked as in hit? I'd have freaked out on them...after my dog was safely back in the house...
I agree, you just never know...neighbors Papilion is mean and so is one neighbor's Dachshund, while the other is super social friendly...next door NAID is the friendliest dog ever at 1oolbs and one of our best friends is an America Staff...depends on the individual dog in my experience...but size does matter... |
I think you reacted instinctively when you spanked him. The owner of these dogs did not. It was a delayed reaction, he yanked the chain so as to separate the two dogs and then proceeded to spank him. I think that your definition of spank might be different than mine. Like you said you only tapped your dog...this man had a lot more force in his swing--he was a big man and they were big dogs.
