You shouldn't abuse dogs.
Steve's dog has been barking a lot recently and it is beginning to get on his nerves.
Steve wants the dog to be quiet.
Steve starts taking the dog to training so that it will follow his commands and bark less often.
Steve hits the dog, and chains it outside in his backyard where he won't hear it as much.
After a few months of training the dog is more well behaved and Steve is very happy.
Steve's neglect and abuse is eventually reported by neighbors, and he is charged after his dog is taken away.
