strange training technique?
In article ,
"ripple" wrote: We have a 6 mo rat terrier/sheltie mix. My husband told me that he was told that an effective training technique is to spank the object that the dog is chewing or being destructive to. For example, if the dog is chewing a shoe, the owner would spank and scold the shoe. This, supposedly, will cease the dog's behavior. Has anyone heard of such a thing? I told him that it sounded a little far fetched to me. Cassidy We have done this with good results. It is bizarre, but if it works, who cares? Some dogs deal well with it, other dogs may join in the fun and bark at the thing being punished & others yet may not react at all. It is far fetched. |

We have a 6 mo rat terrier/sheltie mix. My husband told me that he was told
that an effective training technique is to spank the object that the dog is chewing or being destructive to. For example, if the dog is chewing a shoe, the owner would spank and scold the shoe. This, supposedly, will cease the dog's behavior. Has anyone heard of such a thing? I told him that it sounded a little far fetched to me. Cassidy Yes, it is used with apparent good results. You can use this with a dog that steals food off the counter also - act very afraid of the counter with food and dog will become fearful of it as well. |
