Is the best way to train your dragon, to yell at it?

Today in English, we had a debate about whether shouting at a dragon is the best way to train it. In How to Train Your Dragon, Professor Yobbish had one piece of advice:

YELL AT IT!

In partners, we discussed what way we would use to train our dragon, and we made notes to help us during our debate.  When debating you should make sure that you are not talking over each other, and that your point is related to the other person's.

Some of the points we had to make are listed below.

• You shouldn't yell at dragons because:
• they might not understand your language
• they have very small ears, which may be very sensitive
• they might react violently
• it will be more likely to attack you than obey you
• it might fly off because it will be scared
• your enemies will know what commands you are giving your dragon
• it will encourage them to hate you
• You should yell at dragons because:
• they are usually disobedient
• you will sound more serious
• it will give you more attention
• it will knock sense into the dragon
• it you talk it might not hear you because it might be developing it's hearing skills
• in battle it is noisy so the dragon must be able to hear you
• shouting will make it more aggressive
• it is more likely to do what you asked
