Having Chihuahuas, I always wonder how anyone could ever spank one. A spank would be more like knocking one across the room. That is more than a spank. It could cause serious bodily harm to a small dog.

I am completely opposed to spanking any dog. From tiny to huge. It's like beating the dog for no reason. There are so many better ways to discipline a pet instead of hitting them. The same goes for children.

I always treat children and pets the way I would want to be treated. I can't imagine how the person that spanks the Yorkie can live with themselves. Aren't they afraid of hurting the little doggie? A ten month old Yorkie is about one pound. Spanking that dog is serious cruelty. Maybe they should rehome the dog because they don't have the patience to be a dog owner. Either that or go with what Karen said. Get a covered trashcan.
