I've seen that show. He also says shh to the dog to make it stop to
establish dominance. I've never seen the show where he hits a dog on the
nose. I can't even imagine a show where they demonstrate how to hit an
animal, but maybe you did see it. Dogs also don't have unconscious minds,
children do. Their fear goes underground. We teach children to be
civilized by hitting them. That's people for ya.. Hitting makes the adult
feel good and powerful. That's the only good that it does.
