[QUOTE=HighlandYorkies;1027720]I've been attacked on this site about pet breeding without showing myself, (no shows within 100-150 miles from me) so it's annoying when you only want an answer to something to have everyone jumping down your throat, no matter how well intended they might think they are.
You are only human, and I'm sure you are not hurting them, a tap is a tap, not a spank....don't do it myself tho as my three are only 4lbs.
My usual is "tut tut TUT" if it's
that naughty and they listen to my voice - it's a very rare thing to them needing being told
They are too cute and too good, lol
A tap is a tap......do you know that yes you can hurt them with just a tap???? MY lord...Its never ok to even tap your babies. That is a negative reinforcement, and will make your dog cower down when he/she needs to potty. And will make them to more submissive peeing. POSITIVE reinforcement goes along way!!! There are lots of threads here to help you with that! Many ideas, many threads on this discussion.
ANd if your dog is preggars, a tap an hurt her and the babies. These are 5 pound dogs.
As for the initial question, well....she should not have mentioned that she "taps" her dog when it pottys in the house or whatever. To many of the people here, it does get our blood boiling. And she should have just asked the question itself.
