On THAT note, this STFU,parents! blog entry is right on topic for us:

True, you can reason with children over pre school age (before then it's significantly harder) but I believe you compared child rearing to dog training and those are two very different things. Children are not dogs. They defy, they question. And if they're grumpy enough they will make a scene. No matter how well they've been taught there are times when they will do exactly what they want to do.
