Oh, poor CheweyI just go NUTS when I read how cruel people can be to defenseless creatures. Your Mom handled it perfectly. I agree with the others that it should not be surprising that dogs, or any animal, can develop negative behavior pattern in response to such treatment!!
I cringe and feel sick at the image of Chewey retreating in fear at the sight of a male. I think with some positive re-enforcement and gradual introduction of several postive male figures, Chewey will be fine. Poor baby! Please give Chewey a hug and kiss for me, ok?
