Today as I was bringing our dog (male puppy -- cocker spaniel mix) in from outside, he got loose and urinated on my wife's new carpet. I screamed "no" but it was too late. I grabbed him and threw him in his kennel. About 15 minutes later he started yelping. I put a bark collar on, but that didn't fully work. He kept yelping. We live in an apartment. When we're walking outside and he sees other dogs, he starts barking loudly and going wild. He acts like he wants to attack these other dogs (some much larger than he is). My wife says I shouldn't hurt him--he doesn't know any better. But it's very embarrassing! The thing won't behave. I swear sometimes I want to thrust a knife into its skin and seriously HARM this animal! [Am I not cut out to be around dogs?] My wife would freak out if I asked her give the dog away--she loves him--so I'm kind of stuck. Any advice ?
