It doesn't really matter where a person is from. Even people that work with animals can be pretty unbelievable. Over the winter I was taking our puppy to obedience classes and the instructor often brought one of her dogs to class to help demonstrate whatever that nite's lesson was. Well, whenever she brought this one yellow lab it always seemed to be too interested in another dog in the class (I think it was a coonhound/lab mix) and when the lab didn't listen to commands the instructor would slap the heck out of that dog. She would open-handed slap it right on the snout. I remember the first time it happened and I was just shocked. As people were gathering with their dogs before the class the next week that was all that we were talking about.
