Kicking the Dog (2009)
IMDB rating: 3.80
Plot: Kicking The Dog is the story of that summer – a story about real life. Yes, the characters need to make life-changing decisions, but they’re also partying, poking boobs, searching the fridge for emergency lubricants, telling stories about sharing condoms and enjoying other distractions that make spending time with old friends something so memorable you’ll never find it anywhere else in life – no matter who you meet. Satchem and Julie must decide whether they should pursue their own personal dreams, or stay together, all while telling stories about nipples and wieners. Matt can and will hook up with any girl that crosses his path, including the girl of his brother Robbie’s dreams. The sexually frustrated Josh finds himself working at the local porn shop while dating the former slut turned good-girl Jen. They soon realize the best times are always with your oldest friends and the ones you love the most.

I lost Control of my dog and had to take action but was it the right action?
Okay so I went to take mt dog for a walk and he is usually really good but today he saw another dog and ran at him. I weigh less than him and lost the leash. he stopped at the other dog to sniff him and the damned thing bit him. In defense my dog bit him back. The other owner wasn’t helping so I kicked my dog. I have never hurt him before and I feel really bad but I did not want him to get hurt or in trouble. Did I do the right thing?
Why was it needed to kick your dog?
If you can’t control him on a walk you shouldn’t be walking him. Find someone else to take him on walks that can remain in control of him.
If your dog gets into something like this again, you grab his hind legs and pull him away, the other owner will have to do the same so you can safely separate them.

If the dogs were fighting you have to do what you have to do to get them to stop. If that is what it took to stop the dog then you did the right thing. You can’t just stand their and let the dogs rip each other to shreds.
However, if you can’t control the dog then you shouldn’t be walking him and if he knew a come back call command or basic training the kicking wouldn’t have been needed.

No. Kicking the dog should have been a last resort if any at all. You must be in control of your dog at all times. You ‘lost the leash’. Which means you were not paying attention. Or you need a better way to control your dog.
Try a prong collar, dear.

No you could simply have pulled his collar back. The thing is though is that you didn’t have much time to think.

the best thing to do when to dogs are fighting is grab your dogs coller and pull them back. be sure to NEVER get between fighting dogs. you can get hurt oh yeah if u cant pull them back why u walkin them!??!? you should be stronger than the dog or dont walk them at all

You did break up the fight without getting bitten yourself. Some suggestions for the future. Socialize your dog better. Take him to basic obedience so he doesn’t pull on his leash and does what you tell him to do and learns to get along better with other dogs. An unleashed dog running toward a leashed dog is a very threatening behavior. Until you can control him, I would use a prong collar. They keep the dog from pulling and give you more control.

I am sorry, but kicking your dog was not the right thing to do.
Unless the dogs were involved in an intense fight you should have taken back the lead and regained control or your dog.
As a side note if dogs are involved in a fight never ever stick your arm or hand in to try and break it up. You may very well lose one or the other.
This is the very reason I do not keep small dogs.
I have been there done that, cried all the way to the vet.

Next time you get close enough to kick the dog, grab the leash and pull them apart.
Obedience classes would be good for both you and the dog. Good luck.

Don’t walk a dog that you know is stronger than you and can overpower you. I wouldn’t do such a thing, but there aren’t very many dogs that I can’t control and keep hold of. Basic training is absolutely necessary. Seeing another dog and bolting is not proper training. He paid no attention to you. Just the other dog and that he wanted to get over there. Does he know the meaning of "come"? Does he listen when you say it? Until you can control the dog properly, have someone else walk him.
As for kicking him, you did what you did and there’s no changing that. You got them apart and that’s what matters. However, you need to learn the proper techniques to breaking up a dog fight if you are ever in this situation again. It will not only protect you, but also protect the dogs involved. The "damned" dog as you referred to it was probably spooked. Here comes your dog, not under control to confront him. He didn’t like it, was probably scared, so he bit your dog. Keep control of your animals at all times.

You didn’t do the right thing at all. Your dog did what it was trained to do and no I’m not saying you trained it to fight, but you didn’t train it properly. You need to get a no pull leash(and not the ones with the spikes on the inside of the collar.) maybe a harness instead of a leash and possibly a cloth/leash type of muzzle because if it bites again it could be deamed a potentially dangerous animal and be euthanized. Train your dog better or give it to someone who can.

Did your action lead to a deescalation of the fighting and reduce the overall number of injuries to your dog? If so, then it wasn’t as bad as you think because you needed to separate the two dogs without getting yourself hurt in the process. If not, well, it was a silly thing to do buy you were feeling panicked.

If you broke up the fight without getting hurt yourself, then it was the right thing at the time. I might have done the same thing in the same circumstance, and you have very little time to think about it when these things happen. Kicking is an instinctive reaction. Don’t worry about the dog. He probably barely realized, in the heat of the moment, that it was you that kicked him and dogs are pretty tough. It’s usually the shock value of the kick that does it. not the pain. Never ever break up a dog fight by grabbing the collar, as someone suggested. That’s the best way I know to get bitten and bitten hard, and trust me, a bite to the hand can be very painful even if the teeth don’t break the skin. The collar is too close to the teeth of either dog, and when they get all riled up, dogs don’t know who they bit and the neck is very often what they’re aiming for. They won’t even notice your hand in the way. Grabbing the leash would have been a better choice, or grabbing your own dog by the tail if it has one long enough.
What concerns me more is that you had a leash on the dog and lost control of him anyway. One, you should have spotted that your dog was about to take off, or at least was looking hard at the other dog, and headed off that reaction with the leash or by voice, or both. You need to be alert to what’s around you so you can prevent things like this before it’s too late. Two, you need to have a better grip on the leash if your dog does this kind of thing. Wrap it around your hand a time or two, don’t just hold it with your fingers.
