4. Bringing puppies to a dog park

Dogs are sociable. However, be careful of allowing your puppy to visit a dog park. First, diseases can easily enter a dog’s body. Second, mature dogs can be quite playful and act rough in the process; thereby scaring and sometimes bringing harm your puppy.

3. Using physical punishment

Yes, dogs need training their owners need it ever more but physical punishment is never okey. First of all,

it’s just outright animal abuse plus it doesn’t work and actually does the opposite of what you want it makes your dog scared of you reward based training is much more effective than physical discipline and here’s why while reward-based training helps build trust between a dog in his human physical punishment breeds distrust of humans in general reward-based training encourages a dog to behave in a desired way.

But when a dog is physically punished it may try to hide start urinating uncontrollably and freeze in submission because it’s scared to death reward based training helps a dog learn and perform a desired behavior however when an owner uses physical punishment a dog can concentrate only on one thought this hurts and I don’t like it think about it do you like getting hit didn’t think so you like rewards duh see dogs are no different than you so if your dog does things you’d prefer he didn’t sign them up for obedience school which is as much for teaching you as it is for the dog the very best time to do this is when they are puppies when the concrete hasn’t hardened yet and you can more easily install positive habits and behaviors.
