My (brief, failed) boot camp experience had a discussion of training puppies and how it's the same as training soldiers. Very similar! Including "Do you shoot him for wetting the rug? Bang!"
We also discussed reasonable force, and how the threat of force is useless if the enemy doesn't think you can pull it off.
I learned that in my childcare career: never threaten a kid with a 'consequence' you cannot deliver. Or one they don't understand, it's equally useless. Of course I had preschoolers, maybe school-agers were different.
I've trained a lot of cats over the years too. Getting rid of a bad habit is hard no matter what level of evolution you're dealing with.
Speaking of evolution, there's a charming discussion in Ch.11... for next week.
