| Watch that Newspaper, Bud I was sitting at Cracker Barrel on Father's Day, having lunch/dinner with my mom, brother, and his wife. They breed dogs and have Chihuahuas. I have Freya, the most tiny silly Yorkie baby. We got into discipline. My mom lets her Chihuahua, Little Girl, do just about anything she wants, lol. Sammy, my brother, talked about discipline. He seems to think physical discipline is proper. I don't. Not even with a "rolled up newspaper." He has used shock collars in the past. Tara, his wife, cited that Caesar Milan uses physical negative reinforcement. But Sammy made the statement that he punched his dog, Bernie. I don't know whether he was exaggerating or not, but I know he's mean. I would never hit my Freya. |

| Positive training is the way to go. I would report them for abuse if you see them actually punch the dog.
