Partner and my dog

[Craftydafty1]

My dog is big and liles to jump up when excited. My partber brought a parcel that had been delivered to the house.

My dog grabbed her toy and jumped at him and hit him right in his "privates" he let out a "ouch" then hit my dog with parcel.

He said it was an instant reaction to being hurt. I said it was an accident.

The parcel has a light rubber tube in it so was v.light.

He said aibu as it was a reaction and she needs trained and he doesnt appreciate being hurt. He then patted her and said sorry.

Aibu or is he?

Is this animal abuse?

Ta x

He tapped a large dog with a parcel containing an almost weightless item? Of course that's not animal abuse.

You need to do better with your dog. A large dog shouldn't be jumping up like that.

Train the dog
You know it jumps up at people, so restrain it.

Your dogs behaviour is a direct reflection of you. Anyone who acknowledges their dogs poor behaviour but does nothing about it is lazy & 100% at fault if their is an incident involving the dog.

I don’t blame him in the slightest - big dogs can injure people very, very easily.

Your inability to train your dog shouldn’t be other people’s problem to solve. If you can’t stop her from headhunting people and jumping up at them then you should keep her on a lead until you’ve trained her.

I don’t think you can compare a badly trained, out of control dog with a tiny human.

Love how you ignore everyone saying you need to train the dog.

Reverse?

Another (dog owner and lover) saying train the dog. He was hit in an instinctal reaction with a light object. I hate animal cruelty with a passion, but this was not cruelty.

This!

Train the dog before someone harms it. You’re in the wrong here.

Is this animal abuse?

More a case of the dog having an owner that can't be arsed to train it.

Your dog sounds awful. I once ditched a boyfriend for having a dog like that

Hard agree

So he has a history of being scared of dogs…

And then a big, untrained dog jumps on him, and claws him in the bollocks?

How are people blaming the bloke here?

Your partner's a cunt.

If someone hit my dog (for any reason but especially an accident) I'd break their fucking jaw.

then hit my dog with parcel.
He said it was an instant reaction to being hurt.

and he will do the same to a child...

Is this animal abuse?

No, but not training your dog is animal neglect.

Why are you making things up?

This
Why don't people train their dogs?!!

You sound absolutely ridiculous
I hope you know that !

He swatted at her with a light parcel, it's hardly abuse. If anyone hurt my dog I would hurt them right back but a light swat to reprimand her for playing too rough is not hurting her. God you should see how dogs chastise each other for this sort of thing. You need to train her, it's doing her no favours to let her be impolite.

Yeah its not really the thing you see on the RSPCA adverts is it.

I bet you would react if someone punched you in the face?
Or do you have such great control?

Ridiculous

Id be very, very worried about a man hitting a dog out of "instinct".

Worth keeping a watch on your dog for it getting nervy around your partner.

Are you not also worried about a badly trained, large dog causing pain and injury to people?
