For domestic animals, not all human actions have explanations. For example, if you punish a naughty cat or dog a few hours later, they will not understand at all why they got it.

In the case of a dog, the relationship may be damaged and it will not be easy to restore the friendship.

Let's find out which method of punishing a dog can be called the only correct one.

The dog must understand that not all of its actions are met with delight by the owner. And no matter what animal rights activists say, discipline is needed in any case.

However, physical punishment will not make the dog more obedient. Such animals often become intimidated, and fear often makes the dog attack first.

Therefore, the punishment must be fair.

Before starting training work, the owner must make sure that the pet understands him.

In this case, there is a chance that the dog will treat the person as a leader and there will be no side effects.

You can count on the dog's conscious attitude to punishment if the "retribution" overtook it immediately after the prank.

The more time passes, the less likely it is that your pet will learn the lesson.

The animal must understand that the owner does not approve of such actions and there is no need to expect encouragement.

It is important to find an approach to your pet, but you cannot punish it physically or yell at the dog.
