I'm so sorry this happened, how old are you, is your mom still in charge of your life? I imagine your mom might be feeling bad about reacting like this, and perhaps theres a way to inform her that there's better ways of disiplining dogs. Also, are you even sure the dogs were fighting, sometime dogs play fight, is one of the dogs much bigger or more aggressive than the other. The problem with hitting a dog, is you are sure to make them aggressive. Your dog probably believes your mom bit him, and she taught him, that's okay behavior. Dog are leery of human hands because they think they are mouths. No pain should ever be assoicated with your hands, if Callie starts biting, you'll know why. I hope someone can give you better advice, I know you must feel awful. I would rather put Callie in a kennel than have her hit like this. |
