I know it sounds absolutely absurd, but its very true. I haven’t spanked my dog and she is well-trained. She comes when called even at a full gallop towards something outside off-leash, and she will listen to a slight voice or snap of the fingers. For a beagle, this is quite the feat!

A healthy respect for dog-language and the way dogs view the world is really all thats needed to communicate with them–and its about the same for kids too. Great post!
