I'm going to be forceful with a young dog when he acts up
What do you plan on doing to the dog?
I will be aggressive with him and am going to punch him hard.
It's wrong to discipline an animal by force. You should be more loving towards your pets.
I don't care, and it's not animal abuse because I am teaching him what not to do.
No matter what the reason is, it is never okay to physically harm an animal. There are many different ways to discipline and train an animal that doesn't rely on abuse. You can try looking up Victoria Stillwell and she can teach your proper and loving discipline for dogs.
