Raising dogs takes a lot of patience and love for the dog. Believe me, I have had my moments where I'm frustrated with the training process, but I never blame the dog and would never think of yelling or hitting them. I'm the one that brought my babies into my home and made the choice to love them and teach them. It isn't their fault if I'm not training them correctly or if they have an accident. It's mine. Confessing is fine -- but if you're confessing to having an anger issue with your dog on a public forum, I"m not sure what you expect to get in response. I'm not trained in anger management -- I just use my common sense and if I'm angry in a situation, I walk away -- calm down -- and come back to it later. Nothing in life is worth getting so angry that you hurt those you love. I'm not saying you're a bad person -- but you need to evaluate why you got so angry, and what you can do to never do this again. | |

| ![]() I try to treat my baby like a "human baby". I know they're going to have accidents and I agree, my dog is worth more to me than my carpet or rug. Maybe now that you have confessed, you should take that as a lesson and next time the puppy has an accident you'll know how to handle the situation a little better. We all make mistakes but in the future take a step back and realize what you're about to do. I don't think you have anger problems I just think sometimes things happen so fast and the only way to deal with it at that point in time is to get mad. Good luck and go love that baby to pieces!! ![]() |

| ![]() all dogs have accidents at any age, but we do not hit them, crating her or him was probably enough, maybe she had cramps and could not hold it in, god knows we have to run sometimes....there to small to hit....my dog is house trained on dog pads, and she has the occasional accident, but i love her to much to hit her Last edited by lorna pickett; 02-18-2008 at 04:54 AM. |

| ![]() He's a living creature, not a toy, if you get angry take a few minutes to step back and breath, remember that if you let the anger control your impulse you could seriously harm your poor dog..... You need to find some kind of "pattern" or procedure to go into motion when you feel the anger popping up.. like some people count or take a walk outside, splash your face with cold water. You just have to keep yourself from running on impulsive anger and responding that moment. Honestly, I'm not going to condemn you, because you could have easily not posted this, or told anyone and continued on with your business, the fact that you said this.. obviously shows you know what you did was wrong and feel guilty and would like to change that. Most people just keep it to themselves. I'm no expert though, everything I typed now is just stuff I've heard or read somewhere, but basically when you get really angry, try to deter yourself and think about something else, do something to keep you from doing anything impulsive.. walk out of the room if you have to.

| ![]() no, you didn't have to confess but you seem to admit to animal abuse a lot. I am trying very hard to choose my words with you but i don't think you are a good pet owner and never have been judging from your previous posts on various things. Seriously, some people should get stuffed animals. |

| ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Please don't hit your puppy with your open hand ![]() Also, if you feel overwhelmed raising/training a puppy, may I suggest rehoming? Training a puppy may not be for everyone.....

| ![]() I see your getting the advice I expected, and rightly so.....I've followed some of your other posts and I keep wondering why you keep getting puppies....I understand you want a pet, but some people are just not cut out for the work, training, and sometimes the frustration that comes with puppies.....Sometimes we get so caught up in all their cuteness that we tend to forget there is training to do.....a lot of training.... It's not much different with kids....just because you can doesn't mean you should.....This is not meant to be mean it's just to point out that maybe taking on all that is involved is more than your capable of handling.......I know the pup is already here but if you're finding training and caring for a pet is more frustrating for you than enjoyable there are alternatives for both your sakes.....Good luck and I hope you find a solution that is in both your best interests.....

| ![]() I really have nothing to say aside from maybe you should own a dog. This is a yorkie lover fourm....this is not the right place to come a post about how you hit and shake a puppy because it didn't go on it's pad. I think everyone would agree with me in that our only advise for you is to rehome your puppy and go see a therapist imediately.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | ![]() I'm still having trouble thinking if she has this kind of anger over a little poop - then what if something really big happens ? Puppies learn as they grow - PLEASE BE PATIENT or you could lose this one like the other one and that's so not fair to the puppy !! I don't want to harp on you - but since reading your other threads it seems you may be overwhelmed and we're all here because WE LOVE DOGS - there are red flags in all your posts scooby ![]() if you really want to do the right thing - LISTEN TO EVERYONE and if you feel you're going to lose it again - WALK OUT OF THE ROOM and go hit yourself in the mirror or something but don't hit the dog !! ps...after reading this thread and feeling like I do - I'm going to go HUG the heck out of my girls ...cheri is having little issues on the floor - but they've been thru so many changes in their lives that a little poop is something to be grateful for - they're happy AND healthy and with me - I'm a happy woman - and if I have to clean a little - SO BE IT!

| ![]() If you are angry with your dog stop and take a few breaths. You should never lay a hand on a dog. You can also a dog brain damage frm shaking it. I hope you really think about your actions and dont repeat them
