I had southern fried chicken nuggets (from M&S no less) for my teen son. He loves them (I hate them)so I made some chips and had a (very) occasional steak for myself which ds does't like.
My dog jumped on the counter and nicked my steak, so I threw said welly at him
(I did miss) but now he's skulking around glaring at me.
He knows how cross I am, and I'm sitting here ignoring him even though he keeps trying to catch my eye, and when he does he wags his tail.
So do I ignore him or do I forgive?
How will he learn, I'm just so cross?
The nicking things of the counter is coming more prevalent, I adore him but I know that he's already forgotten why I'm annoyed and me huffing doesn't do it really, does it.
I put this on AIBU because I'm not sure if it should be on the doghouse or relationships. 
AIBU?
To throw my welly at the dog

You need to train him not to take food. Have you looked into classes?
My sister has trained her dog to within an inch of his life 
You can literally put a steak on the floor in front of him and he won't touch it until he is given permission.
Although this did lead to a very funny incident when her daughter put her sandwich down, said "leave it" to the dog, then, obviously, he left it and unthinkingly, she said "good boy" which he thought was his permission. And he ate the sandwich
Did you have to take the welly off before you wanged it? Or was it the nearest object to hand?
Was it a Hunter welly? This could actually go in S&B
He's not a thing Stranded 
He is a thieving bastard though.
I'm still not talking to him, but he want's to talk to me.
He keeps looking at me, and no Mme, I just had chips.
Mmelindor Yes that is precisely what happened, the lights were out for 10 seconds max, and when they came back on dog was munching pork chop in the corner of the room
You wait till the Doghouse lot see this and pitch over here. You'll be flamed and told you're breaking the law and that you must rehome your dog. Never post anything about dogs on MN, it's the first rule of MN.
But yes, I'd have done the same.
lissielou Haha, that's brilliant! I don't think my dad ever saw the funny side of the pork chop incident either, must be a man thing.
My ex DPs family Jack Russell once ate all the pigs in blankets his mam had made for Christmas dinner and left on the work bench unattended. Considering they were having 22 guests it was a LOT of sausages wrapped in bacon for 1 little dog to get through
