Ive taken a job at a kennels which does boarding and gun dog/basic obedience training. Had about 5 days working there last month which was a trial and started there full time last Mon.
The owner of the kennels is a really nice guy, dogs are well fed and looked after but today I had to really try and keep my mouth shut. I was out walking one of the boarding dogs and coming back up to the kennels when the owner (lets call him Brian) was walking down with a GSD that is in for basic obedience, lovely dog though easily distracted. Anyway said dog was more interested in me and the dog i was walking so wasnt staying to heel, next thing i know Brian boots it in the ribs cause its not staying to heal and the poor dog whimpers pretty loudly and cowers. I was so upset and just walked straight back to the kennels. I know if i see this happening again I wont be able to stay quiet. Its not the only incident ive seen but it is the worst case. On another cpl of occasions ive the other girl who worked for him (i took her job as she is off to Aus for 6 months) hit the same dog and another one with the plastic heavy end of the extendable lead.
I dont know what to do, I am seriously short of cash and really need the job but i cant work there and see this happening on a daily basis and ignore it.
Can anyone give me some advice?
