well, just cried so yeah...

for lack of a better term, beating your dog isnt always bad, nor is patting them on the head for doing a good deed the best way...

it takes a combination of both, when they do something good, reward them and show them that its the right thing to do. when they do something bad, smack them and show them that it was wrong, make them remember that its not a good thing to do and they get smacked when they do it.

my dad is really good at training dogs, he doesnt abusse his animals like many would think, yea he smacks them for doing stupid shit like trying to attack other dogs, and running away when they are told to stay, but thats how they learn. my dogs are the most well trained dogs out there, you gotta be tough on them if you want them to learn. smacking them wont make them fear you, if anything in the long run itll make them love you because they wont be getting smacked when they stop fucking up lol.

agreed with whoever said it before, thats how humans should be treated too, spankings arent wrong, its just a way to teach childeren, if you dont do it and let them get away with stuff and cave to their every whines and cries, then theyll walk all over you and think they own the world.

it is pretty simple to train a dog... the key ingrediant is "Your the boss"... Dogs are a pack animal and will try to be the leader,,,U just have to be the leader... after you show it your the leader you need to work on respect... the dogs that come from puppy farms come to you screwed up from neglect and abuse it's a whole lot tougher to turn them around than to lead them strait to start...

actually, they eat fruits and vegetables, i'm sure they prolly will eat some crickets, but that's not their primary diet... i wouldn't get an iguana anyways dude, they are really hard to keep alive, and i mean this very literally, they get this disease (i forgot what it's called and does and all that, i've just owned alot of reptiles in my life, and a lot of iguanas) that you can't really prevent, can't do a whole lot about and it's deadly... every last one of my iguana's has been taken within 6 months to a year from this crap :(

get a smaller dog, something in the toy catagorey, hyper as hell but usually the only thing they want to destroy is smaller stuffed animals.

u can try gettin a bird or an ant farm
