Got worked up and posted before I saw this. I agree wholly. My dogs don't jump for a reason. When they do, the first reaction is up with the knee. They land on, much less get bowled over by your knee once or twice and they quit it damn quick. I don't see it as cruel. It's not like I'm beating the animal, but punishment on the spot works best. If your dog jumps on me, you better expect the same thing. If it persists, the bastard is prolly gunna go over backwards at the conclusion of our encounter.
Pet owner's have the responsibility to properly train their pets to be obedient, and docile in public places, or the pets should never encounter public places.
