Sometimes owners can use different methods of punishment for dogs.
For example, in such a case the animal may be yelled at or deprived of games and treats.
But the worst punishment for a pet is ignoring it.
This method can lead to very serious consequences.
This type of punishment can cause the animal a lot of stress and make it nervous.
As a result, the pet may try to attract attention to itself, for example, by leaving marks around the house.
How else should you not punish a dog?
An offending animal should never be punished by starvation, intimidation or the use of physical force.
After all, such actions can provoke fear in the dog. In addition, the pet will develop mistrust of the owner.
In addition, such training methods can lead to the opposite effect and cause aggression on the part of the animal.
As a result, your four-legged friend may become withdrawn due to severe stress.
Also, during the punishment process, you cannot leave your pet alone for a long time.
It is worth remembering that dogs are social animals. Therefore, communication and contact with people play an important role for them.
So when training a dog, you need to be consistent and look for an individual approach depending on the animal’s character.
