6. Punishing your dog physically
It is quite evident that dogs demand training from their owners, but it is never acceptable to punish your dog. Firstly, it is entirely animal abuse. And secondly, this act is inoperative, and your dog will get afraid of you. Most useful training is reward-based, not corporal punishment.
Trust will be built between the dog and the owner through reward-based training, while generally, dogs will distrust humans if they are punished physically. The dog will learn and behave in the way the owner wants if a reward-based practice is used, and if the owner chooses physical punishment for his dog, the dog will put himself in some hiding place and start urinating. He will be uncontrolled and frozen because of the fear of death.
Do you like it when someone hits you? Of course! Your answer is no. Do you love to get rewards? I am sure you will say yes. So, think about your dogs. They are just like you. So, if your dog does what you love, he won’t join any obedience school. He will learn what you will teach him. When they are puppies, it’s the best time for their training because you can quickly put positive habits into it.
