Our black lab loves a good butt kicking. He has finally figured out how to get out of the sleeper hold.

The downside is that he's learned how to throw punches and his range is limited to the groin area.

Cheap shotting bastard.

I pet my pets.

My dachshund loves to play-fight quite often. Growling, snarling, the whole bit. There've been a couple of times she's accidentally bit me, but as soon as she did, she immediately gets still since she did something wrong.

I dont beat animals usually (like in except for the one time i got attacked by a stupid dog).

I do however hit them pretty hard if they really mess up. They dont usually do it again after that. So it works fine.

I don't train them by hitting them, I just rough house. I will sometimes give them an open handed slap on their back to get their attention. Nothing that really hurts though.

nsfw,dogs love contact.Most people dont get that.They love to be loved,cuddled,even in a rough way.They all evolved from wolves,and you would be the pack leader.Thats what they all crave,to be lead.I walk mine every day(or is it that they walk me?)They all need to do their 'work' and the walk in their mind is their work.The love is the reward.

My tomcat loves to be squeezed hard. I'll squeeze him until he gasps, and starts purring and drooling o_O

I have the 3 strikes and it's cooked rule. The local SPCA doesn't let me adopt anymore. Damn it.
