Kipling was right; let the puppy learn while younger. A couple of smacks on the bottom and a shake of the finger in the face -- BAD baby! - when they're little, and they won't grow into untrained mastiffs. This does NOT mean, of course, we don't hug them every time we get a chance! Mammal babies die from not being touched. Mom had a wooden spoon. Kipling was right; let the puppy learn while younger.

But I always respected them and the idea of disappointing them did more to prevent me from doing anything stupid.

I'll have to tell my husband about that: he's Chinese and I met him while I was living there (and not in the prettied-up, westernized part: he's from the countryside). My Dad's a 9th generation Scot but Mom's a 2nd or 3rd generation German, so she's no stranger to getting a good rap on the head with a knuckle. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh, that’s good!
