A 19th century training text used by martial arts school in Japan to teach the bushi (samurai) class has been deciphered. Bugei no jo, or "Introduction to Martial Arts" is dated to the 15th year of Tenpo (1844) and contains 12 rules that samurais were expected to follow, including:

Do not leave the path of honor

Do not commit shameful deeds

Do not let the school's teachings leak out

Do not compete

Do not tell bad things about other schools

He did sound very harsh to the dog. I'm guessing it's a game they play, since the other people in the room were smiling and laughing, but it would have been nice if the guy had approached the dog after yelling at it and given the dog a hug or a pat or shown it some sort of affection. Just my take on it.
