Dogs deserve humane treatment too.

I don't understand why these people just don't take the time to train their dogs to do what they want them to do. The feel that if they beat the dog for doing something wrong that they are teaching him/her a leasson. It isn't really that hard to train your dog to do the right thing, just a few minutes a day and some patience. If they claim they don't have the time to do it (really, who doesn't have an extra 10 minutes a day?), hire a professional to do it. More and more I think it just comes back to plain laziness. If this is the case, why get a dog in the first place?
