Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I know you are sorry this happened. It is hard to not react negatively when something hurts. But you need to realize that Lucky is just a baby and a dog at that. They just don't know how hard they are biting or that they aren't supposed to do that. Next time he does something wrong put him in another room or his crate. Do not hit or kick. Animals are very innocent and always forgive. I would go get Lucky from his house and make sure he is okay. Give him a treat and snuggle. You can learn from this and learn to react differently. I wish you and Lucky the best!
