People are getting uppity over "excessive force" but you are used to handling a 100+ pound dog. Your forceful shove more than likely doesn't deter him much. When your habit kicked in with a 3 pound Chihuahua there was a much different result. Shit happens. Apologize and try to explain the situation.
I can understand "shoving" a big dog out of the way, but "shoving" a chihuahua generally wouldn't "punt" it across a room. Unless the OP is exaggerating, the force used to "punt" a small dog across the room would potentially be enough force to injure a bigger dog if you hit them in the wrong area. That's not a shove, that's a kick. (And I say this as someone who has owned both big and small dogs in the past.)
If u were my bf, I'd be pretty pissed off at u.

That's what the little bastard gets!! Can't stand those little ankle biters!!
They're ankle biters because they're small? I've owned small dogs that never bit, and the only time I have been bitten was by a large red heeler. :I
No matter how big or small the dog is, you shouldn't be kicking him when he is tugging on your clothes. Whatever happened to pulling your leg away from the dog or saying, "No" firmly? YDI. You should be brought up on animal cruelty charges for kicking dogs.
Idiot!!! :-( I hope the poor dog is okay.
Honestly, I can't stand chihuahuas. That being said maybe next time you're in someone's house you won't feel so... at home.
They're really lovely dogs if an owner knows how to treat them properly. Sadly, too many owners treat chihuahuas like a baby more than a pet so they end up with snappy, growling little menace who reacts badly if you so much as look at it wrong.
My aunt has one who is a different type of menace. Think the walk off of the old perv's dog on family guy, but doing so to rub his wang on everything in sight. It's kind of creepy really.
YDI but kudos for the chihuahua punt!
