bunnys 1,228 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 one would think beating any animal meant to work for thee would be a no no . but times of old breakink then rebuilding the animal was a common occurance.some high driven animals spaniiels etc ,do seem to be able to take a firm approach seen not my cup of tea\ but hey every one to there own .scruffing and pinning would normally be a firm enough hand to the very most driven stubborn lurcher types every ones different and some similiar the aproach to the animals temperament ,sorts the chaff from the wheat .atb bunnys. unless your there immediately when the indiscretion occurs then chastising of any sort will have a negative effect, it needs to learn by association so clarity is the key, paulus i agree but i see the i was not understood , times of old his the key .atb bunnys.

ITS usually when one comes across a much more strong minded stubborn type , that the handlers classhis put to the test and wild types are still come across occasionally but of course when manned trained they usuallly way above average .atbbunnys.

BIGLURKS 874 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Suppose it depends on the clout ur giving iam prone too walk with a walking stick and if you know ur dog you can tell from its actions on a couple of ocasions a load of lambs will run right past us and you can just see the expression the dog makes like the way it stands and way it's looking like its wanting a go a quick tap on the end of the nose just does the trick so I think it depends on what ur classin as a clout if ur knocking 10 bags of shit out of the dog for not picking up a rabbit then there is something wrong in ur head but a quick tap can solve a lot of issues real quick if you know what too look for just my 2p 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I used to be the worlds worst for laying into a jukel... It has taken me a lifetime to twig on to the fact, that,.whilst you must chastise a wayward cur for obvious unwanted or dangerous behaviour,..there is no call for losing your temper.. To do so, is counter -productive and in terms of canine/human interaction,.it is 100% illogical... I was brought up to 'break' (as opposed to school),..young herders,..( Father and Grandfather schooled Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs)..and they both used old school methods...ouch.. Nowadays,......I rarely lay an angry hand on my mouching curs.... I educate them at an early age,.show them what a great life lies ahead and let them see the benefits of listening to me, and following my lead,..and we all get along,... just fine...

Brigzy 1,298 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 No need to EVER hit a dog; and hitting a dog on the nose is probably the worst place you can hit a dog ! The nose is full of nerves, chambers, etc, that can be very easily damaged. Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 All the dogs I have owned including my terriers have been very obedient ... I demand it from my dogs ?.. I hate unruly dogs that take telling two three four times to do something I like to be able to calmly give a Command and the dog do it no fuss no shouting no screaming and swearing ... Do I need to lay a hand on my dogs to achieve this ... NO ... I spend lots of time with them as puppies building trust and watching what makes them tick watching how they react in different situations and a combination of those factors will allow you to guide the dog to do what you want it to without the dog thinking its being made to do anything ... It's all about cohesion mutual trust and the dog looking to you for leadership .......... 6 Quote Link to post

bracken boy 584 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Did it once when dog was one, was it right well if he dosnt do it again then hell yes hes now nearly 12, it worked. i think people who say its not thinks we put them in doggy hospital ffs, nowt wrong with a wee clip, you say its a failure well if the dog dosnt respond again then yeah ok but if the dog learns and still follows his master then win win.
