Why can’t an elephant ride a bike?

It’s a dad joke… I thought it was hilarious when i was a little kid which is why it stuck with me, i don’t have many good memories of my dad…
I used to just scream NO! and give them a “gentle” push so they would lose their balance. Never hurt them but make them understand. It’s easier with puppies but a grown dog will try to test you more and in the worst case scenario might even retalliate… If that happens you will need to “fight” them. Get them on their back and hold them there until they calm down. Without actually hurting them ofcourse. You just need to overpower them, show them who’s boss.
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU ENCOURAGE GOOD BEHAVIOUR ALSO.
It’s not about punishing, ideally you need about 90% positive reinforcement and 10% negative. (i made up the numbers but you get what i’m saying) You need the positive reinforcement so they will respect you when you get angry. If you do it right the only thing you’ll need to do eventually is scream NO!! and they’ll respect you and try to figure out why they made you angry and try learn from it on their own because they will make it their goal to please you.
I hope this made sense.
I would certainly have alot of fun, but i wouldn’t feel comfortable in hurting others, with or without their knowledge. But that’s just me…
This is one of those posts that really puts things in perspective for me.
my family will only remember the boring, inoffensive outer shell that I presented
