i hope your mom takes the conversation to heart and changes her method!
unfortunately, your mom isn't the only one who thinks that is the way to train a dog. i grew up watching family members do the same thing. not exactly as harsh, but they would rub the dogs nose into the mess. i was a child then so i didn't know it was wrong as it was all i had seen. luckily, i didn't have a dog until i was way older and had taken the time to read and learn about how to train one.
it's great that you know better!!
keep us updated - good luck! |
