Dog Training VS Dog PunishmentBecause of the high risk of your dog misunderstanding and misinterpreting why you are punishing. You just should not do so when there are people or other dogs involved. Punishing for displays of aggression could lead to more violent acts. Below are some more reasons for not using punishment as a teaching aid: - Punishment must be repeated frequently to teach the dog to not perform an action.
- Punishment doesn't teach the dog anything constructive or positive.
- With punishment, you can't control what the dog is learning.
- Punishment can accelerate aggression by suppressing all precursors to aggression. The dog doesn't growl anymore he just bites.
The reasons not to punish your dog are many but the underlying problem is that it isn't an effective method of teaching. Instead of trying to stop an undesirable behavior, spend time planning out and training your dog the correct behavior. The kindness revolution in dog training |
