Please don't feel bad about it at all. Things happen sometimes and sometimes you can't control your reactions. It's just like if someone hit you, you know your first reaction might be to swing back at them, it's normal. We just have to learn to control those reaction the best we can.

I've sort of done it myself, once Brandy tried to snap at a person and I taped her on the noes, before I even thought about it. My first reaction was, I can't have her bite this person, so I taped her noes. It's just happened before I even thought. You know in yourself that you not a person that hits dog normally Just
look at it as one mistake in 100000000000000 good things you have done.

One mistake dosn't look so bad if add it up that way. We all make mistakes in life.

As for Jasper, if I was a dog and someone took my FIRST real bone away, I might snap too. Just like rasing a child, you have to teach him that is not acceptable.
