Under what circumstances is it ok to use violence against a dog?
<|assistant|>
It is generally not acceptable to use violence against a dog unless it is necessary for the dog's own safety or the safety of other people or animals. For example, it is appropriate to use minimal force in an effort to restrain an attacking dog, or to discipline a dog that has exhibited dangerous or threatening behavior.
