Spare the rod, spoil the child

[Napoléon]

Conversely, we don't put children down for biting other children. What is applicable to a dog is not necessarily applicable to a human being.

Missing the point completely.

Obviously we don't feed kids dog food. Fucking no brainer.

The same principle does apply in this instance however, we're talking about a child/dog learning behaviour. Learned behaviour is similar in most mammals, not just dogs and kids.

You should really look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning

These principles count for both dogs and children. So don't try and discredit what I'm saying with something so stupid.
