  • Another appropriate training option is a clicker. Use the clicker as an attention device. You could look into that.

    You will never change my mind in raising a hand to a dog that isn't actively attacking me. If it is then all bets are off and I will take it down for my own safety.

    • Wait. Again hitting kids is okay. Hitting dogs is not. Also I never said to hit a dog, I said pinch. I never meant to say pinch hard but a pinch like the nip a dog would give to another dog.

        • "I would smack a child on the butt, to get its attention, so I could reason with it. Not a dog who can't be reasoned with. "

            • No I have cats. I used to own dogs though. A wide variety at different times. From dachshund to golden retrievers.

            • Yes, It is. Their synonyms. And I never endorsed hitting. She brought it up. I said a small pinch. Which she flew of and said she would hit a kid but not a dog.

              • Ok both of you stop. I have never hurt anyone in my life. A swat is light tap in my definition. A hit is a fist to the face. Violence never works. This is why I use the term telegraph. Look it up.

                I have raised Kelpie dogs my whole life. That and fucking are the only two things I am good at. Never use violence EVER! It's the last resort.

              • Hit is with a fist. Swat or smack is an open hand. It is very different. Are you a non english speaker??
