[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there are enough women getting beaten in this world, I am not going to contribute to that by hitting my own daughter. Parents who spank are ill ignorant and lack much needed skills to deal with stress. I would stop being friends with a mom who  spanked.  [/quote]

What you refuse to even consider is that spanking is not a means to deal with stress. It's a discipline tool. When you put your daughter in time out is that a means to deal with stress or a tool you use to teach her something. When you take something away from your daughter to teach her a lesson is that a means to deal with stress or a discipline tool. Spanking is a discipline tool used by some/many parents. It should be done in a controlled manner. What is truly a pity is that even given the 13 pages of comments on both sides of the fence, those who don't spank continue to paint those who do as barbaric and ignorant etc. If you choose not to spank no problem. But who is being ignorant when one dismisses those who do spank unequivocally and then proceeds to state that if you become aware of a friend who spanks their kid you will cease to be friends immediately.[/quote]

Sorry I just can't get past the fact that it's acceptable to do a child but not a dog. [/quote]

No one trains a dog using only positive discipline.  Not if they're honest, or if they are actually training the dog.  [/quote]

It's been a long time since I had a dog so training philosophies may have changed but I do have a vague recollection of being told to use a rolled up newspaper and swat their rump when they misbehave. I also remember being told that a loud clapping of your hands in their ears also serves to stop/discourage bad behavior.  It's been a long time so I realize I may have this wrong as the last time I had a dog was when I was 13 years old but does anyone else recall anything like that?[/quote]

Those methods of dog training are out of favor.  Now, you only admit to using positive discipline, and you don't tell anyone about the aversives such as jangling coins in a metal can or a knee to a jumping dog.  Or leash jerking or any sort of training collar or harness.  [/quote]
