Are you being cruel to your dog?

Did you commit any of these crimes listed below:
1) Depriving them the opportunity to interact with family members or other dogs.
2) Restricting their movement by chaining them up or locking them up in a narrow dog cage
3) Hitting them everytime they misbehave

If you did any of the above, you are cruel to them! These are a few of them that I have witnessed around me. I have seen some owners hitting their dogs with cane whenever they bark and I have seen some who even tie them up to a wall outside their house and leave them there for a long time. As an advice, stop doing any of the above as there are better solution to solve this that I will discuss later on.
