The Way In Which To Successfully Discipline Your Small Dog
Generally, breeding puppies can be a very rewarding yet frustrating experience, especially when it misbehaves and starting chewing up your new $2000 couch. You might have smacked your puppy when it misbehaved in some way, and if you have been doing so, you should stop now.
This type of punishment is cruel and it has proven to have a lesser impact when compared with showing a pet heaps of love and affection.
Because puppies are not any different to human babies, smacking your dog will not help much because it is still in its infancy and does not understand the difference between right and wrong. All you are really doing is scaring the poor animal and causing it to distance itself from you.
Just like human babies, pups just do not know what you mean when you whip or hit your dog. Even though it might be doing something that you’re unhappy with, it doesn’t know that. What it knows however, is to associate pain and terror when it sees you coming its way.
You might think that hitting your dog with a light smack is fine. It might not hurt so much but it will terrify the life out of the infant dog and if you continue to do this, it will ultimately learn to avoid you at all costs, and you’ll never form a close bond with it.
Yelling at it is the next thing you should avoid doing as well. While yelling doesn’t inflict pain, it does instill terror (if you shout loud enough) which is scary enough for a baby dog.
Rather than screaming at the top of your lungs, a better way of dealing with badly behaved puppies is to be firm with your puppy and tell it to stop in an authoritative tone of voice.
Teaching your puppy should be no different from teaching a child. Control your frustrations and never shout, instead be gentle and give it time to learn the difference between right and wrong. This is the only way to develop a good relationship with your dog
