　　Many owners think that to train dogs well, they must first establish authority, so they blindly use physical punishment and scolding, believing this will make the dog obey. In fact, scolding and physical punishment often cause many problems during training. Let me tell you the disadvantages that easily occur when using scolding in dog training.

　　Although scolding and physical punishment are the fastest ways to temporarily make dogs obey, any form of punishment will have side effects and will cause owners to habitually use it on their dogs, resulting in a disharmonious pet-keeping life.

　　Punishment produces conditioned reflex punishment objects: such as the owner's hand, stick, newspaper, or even the home shared by the owner and the dog. Just like when students are criticized by teachers and then dislike school, some dogs will run back to the kennel as soon as they enter the training ground.

　　Punishment is easily imitated: Why do many owners hit their dogs? Because we ourselves were treated like this as children. So why do dogs fight with other dogs? Because imitation is a form of learning! If you see your child hitting the dog or the dog biting a child, think about who they learned it from?

　　Punishment is easily addictive to people: Because punishment significantly suppresses behavior and is convenient to use, it is easy for users to become addicted and ignore the temporary nature of punishment effects and the ease of reoccurrence of bad behavior after punishment, causing increasing dependence on punishment and a vicious cycle of negative effects.

　　Punishment only tells the dog what it should not do, and does not guide what it should do. Therefore, punishment often cannot change behavior and is more often an act of revenge based on the idea “I am the boss!” (Source: PetsZone)
