I just don't agree with hitting of any kind. When was the last time anyone saw a mother dog hit her puppy for doing something wrong...or rub their nose in their own potty? It doesn't happen! As for rubbing an animal's nose in their accident...that's just humiliating and gross and probably done more out of frustration than dicipline. Hitting and rubbing their nose in 'it' are old school ways, they were done before people really knew what to do, things are different now...there are better ways to earn the love, trust and good behavior of your pet. |
