This is a hypothetical dog how could I have a handle on it?
I think what he is tryn to say is, that with it bein YOUR dog, IF ur dog was caught on somethn they werent suppose to be on, then u have not broke your dogs from it.
The whole u dont hav a handle on thing mite be a lil much, but (here we go with IF again) if u had to resort to beating ur dog to death, then u mite not should have had that dog to begin with since u didnt know or want to learn how to break it off something once caught. If u can get close to beat it to death with out injuring the animal its caught on, then ur close enuf to use a break stick or some other method other than beating it to death, remember the dog is yours, not some1 elses so u should know how to handle your dog.
