Punishing a dog is an important part of training.
In this article, we will tell you how to properly punish your pet.
How to properly punish a dog
If the pet does not obey, physical punishment is unacceptable. Do not hit the dog under any circumstances.
The best methods for punishing a dog are your voice, gaze, emotions and gestures.
Based on your intonation of voice, the animal will understand everything and feel that it is doing something wrong.
In addition, you can teach your pet the “No” command.
Say this clearly, confidently, with a stern expression on your face, looking the animal in the eyes.
Do not punish your dog if the pet has already stopped the unwanted behavior.
Therefore, the animal will not understand why exactly you are unhappy and will not draw any conclusions.
Therefore, scold your dog only in the process of what you want to wean your pet from.
This will be most effective.
