I don't bite either and I was spanked when I was kid. I fully believe in spanking. It works a lot better than this crap that hippies try to push onto people about talk to your kid. A kid can't comprehend that stuff, they comprehend a bit of pain (and it's more a psychological thing as kids think the pain is worse than it is). Now slapping/hitting a kid causes a completely different reaction than traditional spanking.

Of course positive praise is ALSO needed. It's a combined thing.



no it's not. negative re-enforcement, time and time again, has shown to not work on dogs. lots of studies done on this in the psych world. and you can't compare dogs to kids. with a dog, you're essentially using PR to create a conditioned response, eventually creating a habit that the dog works within (they are very much creatures of habit).

kids have the ability to reason, dogs do not.
