Child is good, child get sweets
Dog is good, dog gets treats.

Child is bad, child sits on naughty step or goes to room
Dog is bad, bog sits in its bed or goes out to garden

Child needs to learn something you stick with child till they learn it then praise them when they do
Dog needs to learn something you stick telling the dog to sit till it gets it then praise it when it does it

Child cant be trusted not to run into traffic on the road you keep it on reigns
Dog cant be trusted not to run into traffic on the road you keep it on a lead

An undesirable boy tries f*cking your daughter scare him off
An undesirable dog tries f*cking your bitch you scare him off



I could go on but I feel I've proved my point. Its all positive reinforcement (well with a little bit of negative reinforcement and psychological bullying where appropriate)

You've not really proved your point at all, you've proved you can teach a child a Pavlovian response just like you can teach a dog. There's so many other social situations that simply aren't relevant to animals that your theory is flawed and completely invalid.

You teach a dog how to respond to a given stimulus. You don't teach it to understand WHY it should respond that way, the moral of the story and the short and long term repercussions of its actions. You don't teach it to develop hand eye coordination, or encourage imagination and creativity. You don't teach it how to overcome emotional challenges, you don't explain why something has upset or what its choices are going forward.

If you raised a child like that, you wouldn't make a good human being. You'd make a pet. The fact you seem to think raising a child on reins and treating it like an animal makes you a good parent just goes to show you never developed the aforementioned ability to think for yourself (presumably because you were too busy being dragged about on your own reins and "being a good boy" and I genuinely feel sorry for any child bestowed upon you.
