Good for you to even care! So many folks look the other way.
What to do depends in part on the relationship you have with the other owner. Ideas include:
- suggest a doggie kindergarten, maybe even for both of you to go together (then the trainer is the one delivering the message!)
- discuss positive reinforcement training techniques, ask for his ideas when you pupper is doing what 4 month olds do, wriggle
- find a good book on positive reinforcement and give it as a gift
- in conversation, tell what you do and don't do with training your dog. "I get so frustrated some times, but I know we as responsible owners are NEVER EVER permitted to strike our dogs, what do you do when . . . ."
Relate the rolled up newspaper joke.

I'm sure other folks will have ideas and suggestions as well.
