DON'T BARK ORDERS - DOGS
Each and every dog, each and every human, is connected to you, and matters … Matters so very, very much, that there are not words big enough to express the magnitude.
That is the biggest secret.
The team, from the Wolf Science Centre at the University of Vienna and the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, studied the way nine mixed-breed dogs behaved.

Very many thanks dnb.
Dogs, cats, horses, chimpanzees, dolphins, human beings… The principle is typically much the same for all:
Namely that, as a general rule, *NO* true good can ultimately come from one humanbeing ‘coercing’ / ‘forcing’ another intelligent or semi-intelligent, rational, animal (including another humanbeing) to ‘obey’ his or her ‘commands’ or will.
There are many ways that one human animal can practice ‘domination’ over another (human or nonhuman) animal, by actually, or essentially, ‘forcing’ the ‘subjugated’ to fall-into-line with his or her will.
*** Typically, no ultimate, lasting, good can come from one human or group of humans practicing ‘control’ over others (assuming that the others are moderately intelligent and moderately rational) ***
‘Control’ of one person or rational, intelligent animal by another person, achieved with some form of dominance, is fool’s gold: an ‘achievement’ of little to no real value in almost every case and context.
The ‘dominator’ can utilise their physical body, their energy, their voice, their sex, their sexuality, their sexual allure, their race/ethnicity, their nationality, their gender, their religious beliefs or status, a physical weapon or the implied threat of one, their job title or employment status, their wealth, their celebrity, their social or economic status, or some other sexual, financial, material, or psychological advantage, to intimidate or ‘pull rank’ over another person or animal …
To compel compliance and punish noncompliance, the ‘dominator’ might also use physical, economic, sexual or psychological force or other punishment (or allow the threat of such potentially being used in the future), to hover in the air, unspoken yet subtly or unsubtly *implied* …
Even just a raised voice… a manipulative use of language… rhetorical language… a domineering tone… tensed muscles…. a hostile posture or body positioning… a charismatic projection of energy… all of these practices too, characterise one human exerting his or her dominance over another humanbeing or other animal.
Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Where human-human or human-animal relations are concerned, all the aforementioned social practices and methods of ‘communicating’ with — or ‘leading’ — or ’managing’ — others (actually: *controlling*) tend ultimately to be counterproductive and damaging to all parties involved.
People-who-aspire-to-live-ethically interact in society with other humans and other animals in a different way.
Why *not* ‘kick’ or control the dog, or the humanbeing, to get it or him or her to follow your commands, or do what you want it (or him, or her) to do?
What’s the problem with this approach, if it seems to work?
Why not ‘kick’ or control the dog or the humanbeing with your foot, your hand, or metaphorically with your voice or actions by barking commands or practicing other forms of domination?
Why *not* deploy unfriendly body language or gestures; withhold or ration ‘treats’, or play, or lovel or affection, or attention, to attempt to mold the dog’s — or the humanbeing’s — specific actions, general behaviour, or overall character?
What ultimately happens to a dog, or a humanbeing, who is (in some way or another) ‘kicked’ too much or too often … whether by you, or by some other person, or by a group, or by society, or by some form of trauma, or by grinding material conditions over time??
Well, can you guess??
In such cases, mistreated for too long, beyond the limits of animal endurance, the dog, humanbeing, or other animal will ultimately:
(a) Be crushed in spirit. Get sick. Die, or wither, or fade, of a broken heart, of disappointment, of alienation. Take their own life. Cease to love. Withdraw. Crumple. Become a shell. In some sense — be the climax dramatic or undramatic, loud and fast or quiet and gradual — *implode*.
Or,
(b) Grow in hostility. Grow in resentment. Nurture grievances. Fear and alienation becomes anger, becomes vengefulness. In some sense, the mistreated humanbeing or other animal explodes. Be it fast and loud, or gradual and quiet and harder to discern. The mistreated ‘hound’ acts out in the pain of being alone and unhappy. It bites. You will be bitten. Well, somebody will be bitten. To be sure, all of us will be bitten.
Or,
(c) Some combination of both.
Does your behaviour on planet earth ever amount to ‘kicking’ any sentient being?
Do you see what happens to the World when you don’t, through your every democratic act, interaction and communication, practice kindness and friendship every single day for every single ‘dog’ in your life??
Each and every dog, each and every human, is connected to you, and matters … Matters so very, very much, that there are not words big enough to express the magnitude.
That is the biggest secret.
