jg, I have to agree with you on this one. I went to Catholic school and I do beleive that some old fashioned ideas work extremely well. (No, I was not molested).
One time, I was at the park and my dog, who is normally well-behaved, started to eat some junk that he wasn’t supposed to. So I gave him a light spanking. Some lady came up and scolded me. What was I supposed to do? Reason with the dog? Little did that lady know that I treat my dog better than most humans are treated.
When my dog was a puppy, I took him to training school and the most effective way to make a dog heel it to use a choke chain and yank on it hard a few times when he pulls away. The dog learned his lesson real quick and didn’t pull anymore. Sounds rough, but that’s the proper and loving way to do it.
