I don't think the way you reacted was "too harsh" at all. I know sometimes when our little puppys do things that scare us to death - we react differently than we might in another situation.
Can't we all remember when we scared our parents --they go twice as mad as they would have if we had done many other wrong things.
*** I get in trouble every time, but the only spanking my 10-year-old other dog ever got in her life was when she really scared me with something she did. My reaction with her was so fast and so spontaneous.............. I really spanked her before I even knew I was doing it. What she did ended up scaring both of us that day.
