WHOA THERE BIG FELLA! *When I said "wear her out" I meant in the form of exercise!!! * :o *I would NEVER suggest or condone striking an animal. *I am sorry if there was any misunderstanding! *My wife works for a vet, and the stories of abuse and neglect that she comes home with just about bring me to tears. * :'(
We train our dogs for obedience and hunting trials, and to be our loving companions, and believe me, physical abuse would never be employed to train or discipline our dogs. *It just never enters the picture. And I would never tolerate anyone else's physical abuse or violent behavior unless maybe it's directed at the abuser, not the abused. >:(
I hope this clears up what I posted earlier. *
