This guy starts by telling us how he successfully disciplined his small dog tough a "passionate" application of a belt and proceeds to telling us how he was equally successful when the object of this method was his son. Being a dog-lover and a child-lover, and not necessarily in that order, I could not keep reading this call for violence. Those who do not share my sensitivities should still ask themselves why did dog trainers abandon physical abuse in favor of positive re-enforcements to achieve the best results.
