Yep -ignorant with children or dogs.
My DIL follows the "Parenting by Screaming All the Time " school of child rearing. Her kids are loud and disobedient, when she screams at them for being loud, she sounds a lot like them. They only respond to increasingly elevated levels of yelling and threats. Discipline is a matter of who can scream and yell the loudest.
She is the same with her dogs. When they bark she starts yelling at them to stop. The dogs just think she's joining in on the general noise making and bark even more.
Whether it's dogs or kids, she never gets it that doing more of what you want them to stop doing just encourages them to keep at it.
