Only took one lesson (a good swipe).

Yeah, I can understand this completely.
I was just disagreeing with you believing that they don't have feelings, and simply stating that in MANY, but not all cases, physical discipline can even be avoided with animals.
I was also disagreeing with the fact that you seemed to think that herding sheep and cows is discipline.
