Labrador Training Tips- Should You Punish Your Labrador
from: Retrievers?Labrador Retrievers are popular dogs, being able to perform
roles such as assistance dogs. They would surely enjoy
activities to stimulate their minds and body, being intelligent
and energetic dogs they are. But despite their large size and
exceptional abilities in working and detection, Labrador
Retrievers are also ideal and loyal companions.
This breed responds well to praise and positive attention but we
cannot deny the fact that they sometimes commit mistakes.
However, you should always bear in mind that a dog will never do
anything on purpose, and besides he is not even aware whether
what he is doing is right or wrong. Additionally, a dog isn't
aware of the consequences of his actions. It is for you as dog
owner to understand your dog's behavior and how to deal with it.
Mistakes committed should be corrected at once to prevent your
pet from doing it again. You should make him understand that
what he did is wrong and you are not very happy with what he
did. There are many methods to train a dog as well as approaches
to correct his mistakes. These vary depending on the owner or
trainer, some still believe that training a dog should be done
in humane way. But there are some who would rather verbally or
physically punish their dogs. Verbal punishment includes
shouting or using an angry tone to your dog while kicking,
hitting, rubbing his nose in the carpet and other forced actions
fall under physical punishment.
If you come home and hit your dog after you found out that he
urinated in the living room floor, you will not make him
understand why he is being hit. He may not even realize that it
is his punishment for doing something unacceptable which took
place hours ago. The result of this however is not a
well-trained dog but a confused and scared dog. He will
associate your return with hitting or yelling and will make him
scared of you returning home. Of course you do not want this to
happen, don't you?
"How should I correct my dog's behavior if I am not going to
punish him for the mistake he committed?" Dog owners would
probably ask that question. There are training methods effective
in modifying a dog's behavior without inflicting physical pain.
Use praise and positive attention to correct Labrador
Retrievers. Your gentle words and tone as well as your loving
touch will encourage them to behave properly. You can also
modify your dog's behavior through perceived punishment. If you
caught your dog doing something unacceptable, you may want to
create a sudden loud noise to refrain him from doing it. In
time, he will realize that the loud noise occurs every time he
is not behaving properly. The point here is that, this perceived
punishment does not appear to come from you but somewhere. And
also, he is not physically or emotionally tortured.
Just treat your dogs right and they will surely reward you with
happiness and lifetime friendship.
