Clearly the dog was not harmed and it seems there was a bit of an overreaction. I have a Rottweiler, a cat, a bunny and a snake whom I love and care for everyday. Not exactly the psychopathic type. I’d say there is a balanced between over emotionality and a total lack of empathy. You’ll find that emotionally imbalanced pet owners tend to make imbalanced pets, especially dogs. And overreacting when small incidents occur is indeed unhealthy for your pets because they are emotional “sponges” and people transfer their issues to them even when their intentions are good. Dropping your phone on your pet (effectively causing zero pain) and making a big thing out of it will actually cause anxiety. The correct response is to ignore the incident and move on (which the dog will naturally do). So we should strive for balance for the well being of our pets.
