Hitting the dog

oh ricki thats so h orried the big bully thats no way to train a p puppy unless he wants the dog to eventuality bite him.s he wants to I never smacked my dog ever always treated him with love and care and he obeyed me always.I am so mad at that man for smacking his dog shame on him tht is noway to tra n a dog at all..

I hate that. I wonder why people have animals. I have a friend same way. Make me so mad.

All that taught that dog was that when he does come back or is brought back he will be hit. Some people should not have animals for this very reason. Have you considered reporting him to the humane society? Or whatever animal welfare organization you have in your area? S.P.C.A., the dog pound etc. I would without hesitation. Next time the dog gets out I would yell to him to run! The dog would be better off with someone who will love and guide him.

People who hit dogs are monsters. It's not going to help by doing that but make things worse. I would love to slap that guy around and see how he likes it.

Those who do that are illiterates. They know nothing about animals and how to get them to listen without being punished. They should not keep dogs. Just as it is illegal to hit children there should be a rule put in place for animals too.

I am sorry to hear that happen to you in front of you i have to admit I have like spanked the hell out of the dog I had she would play out side all day then come in pee on my bed and or do her bussiness on the floor I am glad the girl of front let the dog out and she ran away she has ruined a brand new bed

All I have to say is anyone that purposely hits an animal doesn't deserve to have pets.

I had a neighbor who would give her dog treats to stop him from barking! And he would bark every time I went in my own back yard. Her boyfriend tried working with the dog, but like you said, the dog only obeyed him, not his owner because she rewarded him for bad behavior. This dog also bit me, but luckily didn't break the skin (blunt teeth).

Instead of hitting the dog, he should better learn how to work with the dog like you do. Have you taught him how to exercise the things you've taught the dog? I wonder why people get dogs if they don't understand them and treat them like slaves?

I think it's not good.It's mean and cruel and if you hit your dogs then when you call them they probably won't come but go the opposite direction because they think they are going to get smacked for something!

They do say animals are like children. I do not agree with abuse though. I do not abuse my nieces and nephew. Well, if you ask my nephew he gets mistreated. But, let me justify that he is "special." I do not mean he is special needs. I have literally had to hit my nephew once or twice. I felt bad about it, but I felt at the time he gave me no other choice. One or two little whacks on his rear. As for your dogs they will grow to be disciplined dogs. I understand there is a fine line between discipline and abuse and we need to not cross it ever. But, sometimes these things of smacking a dog, or child cannot be helped. These are really our only options occasionally. Of course you cannot give a dog a timeout. I am trying to say it will be okay.

This is so awful! I would never - NEVER - hit a dog (nor any other animal). I own a very naughty Yorkie who do so many annoying things every day...but I couldn't hurt him. I love him and I know that he loves me. Dogs are our best friends and they trust us. I hate violence!
