It's worth reading the full context of the story. Noem took an untrained dog hunting and got angry when she acted like an untrained dog. Then she left this untrained dog loose in the back of her truck and was shocked when the dog jumped out to chase chickens while left unsupervised. Then she grabbed an excited, untrained hunting dog by the collar and was surprised when the dog tried to bite her. This is all in the book, by the way.
