I have to agree - You should NEVER have to hit your dog to make it behave - this knowledge is becoming more common each day.

Shippo has growled at me a few times over a few things, and I NEVER had to hit him or yell at him to get my point across. Dogs do not hit each other in the first place. They do not understand hitting - it is not a part of their vocabulary. To them, it is something we humans do when we are being unpredictable and violent for no reason. >O.o<

Cheyenne, are you familiar with "The Culture Clash" by Jean Donaldson and "The Other End of the Leash" by Patricia McConnell? They are both very good and informative books. I found the second one on Amazon for like 4 bucks!
