In an age when many dogs are surrogate children to
their owners, it should hardly be surprising that
dog training techniques have come to echo the soft,
ineffectual child-rearing style of the day where
parents try to "reason" with toddlers and "time-
outs" and used in lieu of spanking.

Never underestimate the effectiveness of a rolled-
up newspaper across the snout.

Effective for the dog, for the out of control children, and for the lazy
parents who are allowing the behavior.
