Many owners feel that if they want to train their dogs well, they must first establish a good prestige, so they blindly punish and scold their dogs, thinking that this will make them obey. In fact, the way of beating and corporal punishment will cause many problems for dogs in training. Xiaobian will tell you the disadvantages that are easy to occur in dog training.
Although beating, scolding and corporal punishment are the quickest ways to make dogs obey temporarily, as long as it is punishment, there will be side effects, and it will make owners habitually use dogs, resulting in disharmonious pet-raising life.
Punishment will produce conditioned responses: such as the owner's hands, sticks, newspapers, and even the owner's and dog's homes. Just like being criticized by teachers at school, they don't like school, and some dogs will run back to the kennel as soon as they get to the training ground.
Punishment is easy to imitate: Why do many owners beat dogs? Because we were treated like this when we were children. So why do dogs fight with other dogs? Because imitation is a learning method! If you see your children beating dogs, or dogs biting children, who do they learn from?
Punishment is easy to make people addicted: because punishment has obvious inhibitory effect on behavior and is easy to use, it is easy to make users addicted. Therefore, the short-term effect of punishment and the easy reproducibility of bad behavior after punishment are ignored, so that users become more and more dependent on punishment, resulting in a vicious circle of negative effects.
Punishment only tells the dog what it shouldn't do, but it can't guide the dog what it should do. So in many cases, punishment can't change behavior, but it's more of a revenge behavior based on "I am the boss"!
