While visiting my daughter in Texas, I have been introduced to a TV
show called the "Dog Whisperer." Interesting thing is that the star, a
specialist in modifying the behavior of troubled animals rarely
actually strikes an animal. But neither does he go in for petting and
cajoling. His technique is one of firmly establishing dominance. This
might involve a firm rap on the nose with a newspaper. Not, to be
sure, hitting driven by unthinking anger.
