a bit of a duffing up when a pup becomes a youngish adult and they start takin the piss,apart from that i dont see the need for regular punnishment of that nature, especially if you know your dog !

I have to agree.. most dogs that I own since puppyhood acts good when im around. I just have some dogs that I got when they are already adults that needs to know that I'm their boss!

I usually farm out my pups when I bred, and when they turned out something I like.. I get 'em and replace them with other pups or dogs. So time and time again I get this stubborn young adult to adult dog that is testing my wits!
