Teaching dogs correct behavior from a young age helps them better integrate into our lives. Training dogs to go to the bathroom, play frisbee, preventing them from eating random things or destroying the house all require proper training. Training dogs not to do these seven things can make training twice as effective, and pet owners can take a look.

First, absolutely avoid corporal punishment

Corporal punishment is a form of coercion for dogs, and this is absolutely forbidden during training. In fact, dogs, like any other animals, are wary of humans, so from their perspective, unexplained hitting and corporal punishment equals abuse, which only makes dogs more fearful of you.

Second, do not shout or bark randomly

No matter how wrong your dog’s behavior is, and how angry you are, you cannot shout or bark randomly at them because dogs do not understand our language. Your shouting will only confuse them more.

Third, do not chase the dog

Chasing only excites naughty dogs more and frightens timid dogs further. Moreover, if you chase the dog outdoors, it won’t stop but run faster, which is very dangerous.

Fourth, do not force the dog

Dogs cannot understand your commands immediately, so when they cannot grasp the true meaning of the commands, do not force them. High pressure will only cause them to give up on themselves.

Fifth, catch them in the act

No matter what mistake the dog makes, you must catch them in the act. Punishing after the fact is ineffective, and dogs won’t understand what they did wrong later on.

Sixth, do not cut water or food

Never use cutting off water or food as a way to punish your dog, because “do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.”

Seventh, do not treat the dog as a punching bag

In life, when encountering setbacks, never treat your dog as a punching bag. Since you chose to raise them, they should be a family member, not something for you to vent your anger on.
