Unreasonable on dog walk

And then got angry and took off when OP reacted to the sudden move. Exclaiming oh my god was hardly having a go at him and doesn't warrant any of his behaviour. He's been a complete dick head through all of this.

Eta: if I'd accidentally done this to my dog I'd behave like an adult, Id be worried about my dog, apologise and check they were OK and Id be feeling bad for hurting it. I would.NOT be getting pissed off about DP reaction

So he yanked what is effectively a noose around your dog's neck hard enough to drag her over the ground towards him?

He sounds like an absolute cunt tbh.

He wouldn’t be near the dog again if that’s how he treats it. Utterly disgusting behaviour and get rid of the slip lead. I agree with @mrsm43s slips leads are not a training method and cause pain in the wrong hands.

Why are you using a slip lead?

If you're jointly choosing the method of causing pain to the dogs as a "training" method, you are accepting that dog getting hurt is the consequence of dog doing something owner doesn't like/want, no?

Perhaps use a non pain giving lead and harness and train your dog without pain.

If your dog was laying down he was in friendly mode and your man over reacted.

Maybe he knows that and felt embarrassed- can he take negative comments? My guess is he can't.

Mellow dramatic bullshit on both parts I would say!

You embarrassed him but he needs to get over it.

Poor dog not allowed to say hello. That’s what dogs go out for. Was it a training walk or a fun walk? Is he the one who trains the dog? if not he shouldn’t be using a training lead. Sounds like he should be banned.

Hmm, we had our gundogs to a gundog trainer who used this method. It worked a treat and we didn't need to do it very often or for long.

Why did he do it if the dog was lying down?

Is he one of these who has to be boss of the dog? Alpha male shit?

Yeah but the dog only wanted to say hello to another dog and interact,
Unless it was an XL bully off lead bounding up to the dog was there a need to "pop the lead to send the dog flying"

Firstly he pulled the dog way too hard and secondly, if she was lying down she was being submissive, so didn't really warrant the tug.

I too would have exclaimed if someone yanked my dog like that. He knows he's the unreasonable one, which is probably why he's acting out - he can't admit he was in the wrong.

He may not have meant to have been so abrupt. It may have been a knee jerk reaction.

If it is a one off I would have waited til I got home to address it.

It is hard to judge. The silent treatment isn’t good either.

I never used a pop lead they sound a bit harsh in the wrong hands though!

Popping the lead is a training term its a sharp sudden tug usually used to interrupt bad behaviour. You do it with horses too. The DH didn't use it correctly here and did it way too hard if he pulled her over.

What a fucking arsehole.
Is your husband one of those dog walkers who can't let their dogs interact with peasant dogs?
Abusive prick

I think "popped it" is a breakdancing term. My understanding is the DH started dancing in the park.

What's a slip lead? What do you mean "popped it"? Explain better.

What do you mean by popped her lead?
How did he send her flying? Did he kick her?
