sneeky sneeky! 4 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Should you hit your dog when training? wether it be toilet training,recall training e.t.c Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donk 12 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nope,sometimes it can be hard not to. The way i think of it is basically that the dog just dosent understand,and thats your fault for being a bad teacher,just my opinion though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 In My Opinion, if you train a dog properly there should never be any need to hit it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pyxel 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 It can be hard not to when they are really playing up but the dog more often than not doesn't really understand what you are asking of them but we expect them to know what we want - they aren't that intelligent. I think a calm but confident approach is good and I think a dog responds better to a person who gives off this energy more than people who are nervous, tense or angry and aggressive, even though I don't believe in dogs looking at us as pack leaders/followers.

T78 4 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 no,i don't think hitting a dog when training does any good.i've don't hit my dogs and i like to think they trust me more because of it. the worst they get is grabbed by the collar and told in "that" tone that they're in trouble.they definately know when they've done wrong!

donk 12 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) hit a dog and it'll never forget and may just get ya back one day thanks for the replies chaps! thought it was me just bein soft but most of the lads i know hit their dogs and i think there only doin more damage! Ive pulled people for hitting their dogs,not just twatting them,but really booting them Some have been 'dog lads', but most have been just idiots with pets. The last fella i pulled was walking a dalmatian,the dog pulled to one side to have a piss against a fence,he lost the plot shouting at it,the dog dropped to the ground and lay flat on its side,the fella then started booting it and dragging it by the lead. Poor fukin dog was scared shitless,so i gave him a bit shove about and a talking to. I got a load of verbal off him saying it had nowt to do with me,mebbes hes right,just hate seeing animals abused like that. There may be times when a dog needs a twatting? Certain breeds? I dont know? I dont know that much about dogs,but what i saw that day was a dog submitting to its master and getting the shit kicked out of it. Dont seem right to me,mebbes im getting soft in me old age,lol. Edited to add,sorry for all the swearing but it really boils my p@ss Edited January 10, 2009 by donk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustyfox 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I hit my dog but, its not a full on hit. Its more of a tap underneath the chin at the same time I say no. This usually calms him down and he usually does ok after a reminder. Got to be mean to keep them keen. Df Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dustyfox 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Gotta cut 'em some slack to keep 'em keen. A dog has got to know what it has done wrong, saying no to it doesnt work all the time. Most of the time my dog will normally understand when I say no, but its times like running up to other dogs when I have shouted no, thats when I grab him by the scruff of the neck and tap him under the chin. Because that other dog could have done more injury to him than I could. Df Quote Link to post Share on other sites
