When my daughter was a toddler she smacked our dog with a stick. Dog growled a little as she looked for place to hide from our little she devil. A few days later my son and I were talking and my daughter walked up and smacked the dog on the head with a stick. I calmly took the stick from my daughter and whacked her on the head. Not too hard but she had a look of total disbelief on her face as tears came to her eyes I asked her. Honey did that hurt? Yes she cried, well honey it hurts the poor dog too, The little devil hugged the dog crying and apologize to a dazed and confused mutt. She has never mistreated animals since. My parents were raised on a farm in the 30s and 40s. They knew what a three dog night was before the band. I received the same lesson from my Grandfather one day while visiting the farm. Long story short it is not always the dog that need training.

I agree but its mighty hard to make a 2 year old to understand anything sometimes. The stick thing wouldn’t have applied to them. It all worked out for the best for everybody.
