A dog is an ignorant child. He always makes mistakes of one kind or another and does not understand what to do and what not to do. Some behavior even let the owner furious, not hesitate to hit the dog. But does corporal punishment really work? Dr. E is here to tell you.
Can you beat a dog in the process of educating a dog?
The answer, of course, is no! Once the dog does something wrong, the owner is furious and thinks that beating the dog will give him a long memory, but the dog will not "correct when he knows what is wrong", the dog cannot link his behavior with being beaten, and stick education cannot teach the dog well!
What are the disadvantages of corporal punishment in training?
1 Irreparable damage
The strength that dogs can bear is different from that of humans. The owner may be too angry and heavy in the process of punishing the dog. Severe punishment often causes the dog to be injured or even die.
2 The more they are punished, the more aggressive they become.
Many dogs will fight back and yell in order to protect themselves. Their counterattack is to protect themselves, but it is easy for their owners to be injured. Often corporal punishment will also improve the aggressiveness of dogs.
Three dogs become confused.
Most of the time, when the dog does something bad, the owner does not stop it at the first time. It is found that the education after the event is not very effective. After the event, the dog could not connect the previous incident with the beating and did not know what he had done wrong. If the dog is torn down at home and the owner hits it when he comes back, the dog will only think: the owner comes back = being beaten, so he hides. Next time I continue to tear down my home, I don't understand why I will be beaten.
How to replace violence with rewards?
Since the dog has no logical deduction ability, it can only connect two things through a straight line. For example, if the dog is beaten, it will be understood as: there is a baby = beaten, so he chooses to eat the baby.
In response to this problem, the correct approach of the shoveling officer should be: if the dog consciously goes to the toilet to poop and the owner gives him a reward, the dog will associate the right thing with the reward. T
Therefore, it is more effective to use snack rewards to guide dogs to make correct behaviors than to scold them. However, in daily life, don't always feed snacks to the dog, which will make the dog mistakenly think that he is flattering him. Snacks should only be rewarded when the dog makes the right instructions.
