If the dogs fight in the house, they usually get hit by a chair/barstool coming between them to distract them enough to pull them apart.
I have no interest in smacking a dog or cat for training/behavior. I can't think of where they would really 'get' what I'm doing. I have/will use prongs and choke chains and it works for me, I've got the hang of phasing them out.
I've smacked horses though in certain situations because nagging at them doesn't do much. I'm not too big on them walking over me because they feel silly..haha. Respect ze personal space.
