If your dog is misbehaving, what is a better method of correcting him? Any unpleasant stimulus will work to let your dog know his behavior is unwanted. A negative stimulus may be something such as a loud noise shaking a can of coins, for example , or a brief tug on the leash. The negative result teaches him to avoid the behavior.
Your dog must receive the negative stimulus at the same time the bad behavior occurs; otherwise, he will not associate the negative result with the behavior. A stern voice is oftentimes all that is necessary to correct many dogs.
The best way to teach your dog the desired behavior is with positive reinforcement when he behaves correctly. For example, rather than spanking a dog for urinating in the house, provide an opportunity for him to relieve himself in an appropriate place and then praise him lavishly when he performs.
Remember, your dog loves physical contact, as long as it is not done in anger. Most dogs even enjoy light spanking done playfully.
Avoid physical punishment and you can ensure your dog always looks forward to your touch. Some dogs can react badly to physical discipline and some dogs can react better.
The only thing thing you can do is be extra gentle and see how your dog reacts. Dogs live every moment of every day to make you happy. They make mistakes and do things that make you angry. Take a deep breath, explain to them like you would a three year old child. Dogs have the mentality of about a three year old. They promise not to do it again with those big brown eyes! Let them know you are not pleased with the behavior, teach them the right way, and remember that physical reprimand is abuse with animals.
It only teaches them that humans are mean. Let s face it as humans some kids are easier than others. My older son I only have to look at him. He is good with clues. My youngest one. She is though cookie. I have to raise more the voice for respect. So what may works for some dogs may not work for others. When you take a puppy at 8 weeks you basically remove it from the mom at an earlier age. They learn with his brother and sisters how to bite hard and soft.
When they are playing if one puppy bite the other one hard, u will see how the other react and bite harder meaning stop you crossed the line. It is that abuse hell not. When I got my puppy his tale was almost without hair becuase they bite to each other. When they are not being obedient for example they are breastfeeding and bite the mother breast believe me she is going to bite him back and bark and to tell him stop that hurts.
The puppy will scream of pain sometimes. It means you crossed the line. Dogs will understand. They are smart. If you dog is not listening to your commands and you spank him I do not see any physical abuse.
He will calm down. Now if you hit a dog becuase he peed in the house becuase you are lazy to take him out then it is physical abuse becuase it is not the dog fault but yours. Don't over think this, don't be too worried-unless the spanking was a pretty good clout to the head. The lab wont be too upset. They just don't get too upset in a situation like this. I think you could hit a lab with a 2x4 and it would still smile at you. It may be more effective to just put a leash on the dog that misbehaves, exerting control without punishment.
My ESS is a "soft" dog, and the only time I hit her is when we are on the floor rough housing. A firm "NO" and hooking up a leash has been all that was ever necessary to correct her behavior. I have used a nose tap to get the attention of some previous dogs. Not hard, just a tap. I don't know how your dogs react to slaps. I've seen some people use forceful methods to train, with good results. Teaching a strong "leave it" command without distractions may help. Also using a leash in public may help to avoid the problem.
I prefer using rewards. Then the dog doesn't hesitate on recall. My personal belief is that there are occasions when aversive controls are effective, when children should be spanked, and dogs require firm corrections-especially when safety is at stake and rewards are not working. I don't use spankings for corrections. He is also not a dog that would do go with physical placement.
Even though he is super submissive, you would run a risk of blowing out his knees with as much pressure as it would take to force him down into a sit. If he is reactive or gets distracted around something that is usually my cue to body block his line of sight until I can regain his focus. But is it going to make your dog listen to you better? IMO, It makes us feel more in control. I think the lady was out of line yelling at you, but I also think that you and your dog would benefit from abandoning the idea of "spanking" and using more effective training techniques instead.
I would probably have done the same thing if I saw someone hiting their dog. Wack, spank, hit, whatever you want to call it, you're still striking the dog.
I would definately try other ways to communicate what you'd like besides grabbing the collar and the "hitting". I agree with the others those things usually only lead to other problems like mistrust. Willow must obey what I tell her and we don't move on from one thing if she doesn't do it. If I was to tell her to sit and she didn't, we'd be int hat spot until she did. And, I will wait! Also, for what it's worth, just using the words, "no, sit" would confuse my dog.
That could be one of the reasons they aren't responding as quickly as you'd like. What I mean is, "no" means for them means NOT to do something-then you are saying the command. It's like when I first started with Willow, I'd tell her "sit down"--she'd be all sorts of rattled because she didn't know if she was supposed to "sit" or "down" or both! She at one point started sitting and then laying down all in one motion, see what I mean.
They cannot put it all together sometimes. I agreee that it probably just makes us to feel better after spanking, I can't remember who said that I guess its just so infuriating sometimes when you know they are just misbehaving. Quite often I just repeat things and don't move until they behave
