Buying a puppy, I want it to grow into a good and obedient dog. Therefore, upbringing issues need to be dealt with from a young age. When educating, one cannot do without a punishment system, because this is the only way the puppy will understand what is allowed for him. And so that the punishment does not leave in the puppy a feeling of resentment and disappointment in the owner, this must be done correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
Babies need to be punished from the age of three months. It is at this age that the course of dog training begins, the foundations of behavior are laid. Up to three months, the puppy is still very small and often does not understand what the owner requires of him. But before this age, you can show your dissatisfaction with a threatening intonation towards the puppy.
Step 2
The puppy must learn the boundaries of what is permitted. And if he crossed them, then the punishment should be immediate. The puppy should be punished at the moment of offense, and not after a minute or even five. After the perfect action, the dog will immediately forget what it has done, and there is no point in punishment. Punishing later will only hurt the puppy. When punishing, do not hit the puppy or spank him with a slipper or newspaper. In the first case, you will get an obedient but intimidated dog; and in the second - constantly disfigured slippers or boots, torn newspapers, books and wallpaper.
Step 3
You can use your palm to punish. Just do not swing it with all your might, but lightly slap the dog on the rump. Do not hit your dog in other parts of the body. Don't worry if your dog will be afraid of your hand. After all, you not only punish with it, but also feed, and play, and caress.
Step 4
An external stimulus can also be used to punish. It could be a bunch of keys, your child's water gun, or something frighteningly rattling. When your dog does wrong in front of your eyes, scare him by throwing the irritant next to him or firing a water pistol. From surprise, the dog will stop hooliganism. Such an irritant can be punished anonymously, i.e. the puppy may not notice that you are the one scaring her. But the result will still be positive.
Step 5
On the street, a sharp jerk of the leash can serve as a punishment. If the puppy took something in his mouth or rushed at a passer-by, then at the moment of the "crime" pull the leash sharply towards you. This will show the dog that his behavior is incorrect.
Step 6
The "fu" command. This command should be the first to train the puppy. Every time you punish a puppy, say "fu" or "no" in a stern, angry voice before slapping. Only after that, slap on the rump or pull the leash. In the future, you will forever abandon the physical impact on the dog, because the command "fu" will be enough.
Step 7
In order for the puppy to finally understand that this action is forbidden to him, then it is worth punishing each time for a misdemeanor until he understands. It is consistency that will help you achieve good results. The punishment should be effective enough, but it shouldn't hurt the puppy.
Step 8
If you forbid something to the puppy, you forbid it forever. That is, there is no need for such situations that today he can sleep in his parent's bed, but tomorrow he cannot. Don't contradict yourself, respect the rules. The rules must also be followed by all family members, including children.
