Sammy my moms rescue yorkie would occasionally bark at and occasionally snap at another dog and there was one or two times it was slightly embarrassing or that it was so much of a larger dog we laughed because we deal by making a joke of things instead of getting upset and we could not figure out what was causing it. When we did we took the right actions to try and fix it. There is always two sides to a story though. There is not always a certain right and a certain wrong there is lots of gray. |
Well with the pit thing, again, you ahve been told, an dI respect your going by what you were told, but I have been told different again by people who are also responsible pit owners and trainers ( more then one trainer). So again, how do we know who is right? Im not saying your people are wrong and mine are right or vise versa. I can tell you what I know from working with pit bulls myself. But we ant say that your people are more responsible then my people or mine then yours. we dont really know do we.
I get what your saying an agree that perhaps taht little dog was being worked on. but in this case, that little dog was acting very badly, the woman laughed and did NOTHING to try to correct the behavior. I dont think that was a make a joke out of it situation, but she really tought it was funny. but even if she did, or in your case where you laugh because your embarrassed and making a joke of it. You have to understand that the other person doesnt know. all we know is what we see and are being told by you and your behavior. if your laughing, and not doing anything to correct the bad behavior, or apologizing or anything of that sort, then yeah its going to be upsetting and not ok.
