You know who else grabs and yanks people's hands?

Dogs.

Young dogs (and older ones who haven't been trained) are notorious for becoming overly excited, grabbing a person's hand in their mouth, and tugging on it vigorously. They don't mean anything by it except to say, "Oh, I love you! Won't you play with me?" However, it can be very unpleasant, and it can become dangerous with larger dog breeds. Every trainer and responsible dog owner recognizes this as a highly undesirable behavior issue and will do their best to try and correct it. The trainer I took my dogs to recommended either shoving my hand into the dog's mouth to make it uncomfortable or boxing the dog's ears.

So where the hell is tRump's trainer? Is it up to the first lady of France to shove her hand down his throat and box his ears? NO! He should have been taught that grabbing and yanking on hands was an undesirable behavior before being let out into public. But, no, we have an untrained, slobbering, deranged Great Pyrenees loose on the streets of Paris, and whenever he grabs someone's hand and yanks, we are supposed to think it's cute.

and rub his nose in his poo. You shouldn't ever do those things to a dog, but some ill-mannered old men might deserve it.

You're right, those techniques do not work, but they would be fun to use on tRump.

That's what the trainer my wife and I used told us to do. Actually, boxing the ears was more for jumping up. Making a fist in the dogs mouth so that it was uncomfortable was for hand grabbing.
