Guard Dog Training

Training a dog takes a lot of time and patience. Furthermore this is not something that you can achieve in a matter of days or weeks – it will take months. The trick to getting the most effective results from your little pup is to be firm with it but not deal out any physical punishment.

That is not how you should be training your dog and studies have shown that physical punishment is not an effective training method when it comes to any type of animal.

Puppies just don’t know how to respond or what to do when you hit them, even softly. It doesn’t know what you want and when you do this, you are not only hurting your little puppy but also training it to fear you. This is not the effect you want I’m sure.

Like children, puppies just do not know what you mean when you whip or hit your dog. Even though it might be doing something that you’re unhappy with, it doesn’t know that. What it knows however, is to associate pain and terror when it sees you coming its way.

By hitting it can causing your little new friend to be afraid of you, it will start to keep its distance from you and you’ll never create the strong bond that some dogs have with their owners. As the pup grows up to become an adult, this gap will further increase as well.

Yelling at it is the next thing you should avoid doing as well. While yelling doesn’t inflict pain, it does inflict terror (if you shout loud enough) which is scary enough for a baby dog.

Instead of yelling at the top of your lungs, a better way of dealing with badly behaved puppies is to be firm and tell it to stop in an authoritative tone of voice.

Hopefully this guide has helped you understand your new best friend a little better. The best way to deal with misbehaved puppies is through non-physical authority, and a lot of persistence and patience.
