Dogs are mostly naive and clueless, perhaps their brain works differently from humans, so they often do things that make people very angry. They might chew the female owner's handbag, bite a piece off the male owner's leather shoes, or tear up furniture. And whenever they make a mistake, they seem to both know and not know anything, looking totally innocent and staring at you with pitiful big eyes. Many owners choose to punish dogs by making them stand. How to train a dog to stand punished? Can standing punishment help a dog realize its mistake?

Dog Standing Punishment

Making a dog stand as a punishment when it makes a mistake does not effectively solve the problem. The dog's body cannot take it either, and they particularly dislike this kind of punishment. As a result, they are even less likely to correct their mistakes. Many videos show that after standing punishment, dogs repeatedly make mistakes. Therefore, owners should not make their dogs stand punished in the end. Furthermore, making a dog stand punished can possibly cause patellar dislocation, which in severe cases can lead to paralysis.

The correct way to handle a dog's mistake is to strictly scold the dog at the time and place of the first mistake, pointing out the error immediately so the dog understands the behavior is bad. Lightly tapping the head can accompany this. Afterwards, ignore the dog for a period of time, giving it the cold shoulder. This way, the dog can clearly recognize its mistake.

Dog Standing Punishment

A dog is like a child. Excessively harsh punishment will cause rebellion in the dog and make it harder to manage. Patient guidance and gentle encouragement are the right ways to interact with dogs, and under proper discipline, dogs will become smart and sensible.

All our actions should prioritize the dog's health; otherwise, the owner will be the one to regret it.
