At one point, Sieber picks the dog up by its leash and the dog appears to choke and gag. 

"Hey can you go a little easy on that dog please?" Minutello asks Sieber.

"You want him?" Sieber says with a laugh.

"No, but you can't do what you're doing. You're choking him, you're hanging your dog!"

After a few words are exchanged, Sieber gets into her camper with the dog.

Sieber was arrested on Sept. 20 and booked into the Pinellas County Jail.

Sieber's dogs, including the one in the video, are now in the hands of animal control, according to deputies. Investigators say the dog appears to be ok.
