Nicely put!
Another way that yelling at dogs is like yelling at kids is that if you do it very often they learn that you don't really mean business until you yell. Result? They don't obey when you correct them softly. There's no reason to. They know you'll give them another chance, only louder.
Do I think yelling is a good thing? No. Do I occasionally do it anyway? Yes, I'm afraid so.
