Just as you wouldn't easily hit or intimidate a child, the so-called punishment is just to let the dog know that its behavior is not satisfactory to you. The purpose of punishment is not to hurt it , just ask for it, correct it, so don't hit them, there's no need to scare them. The easiest way is to say NO in your obvious tone!

Always remember that for dogs When saying NO!, it's not your volume that matters, it's your tone and authority to make it feel your status. And simply roaring, although effective, is not the best method, because once dogs become afraid of noise, they may feel fear or punishment for other sounds, such as thunder, horns, etc. at night.

As for hitting dogs, it's even less desirable. Many people, including myself, once had such a misunderstanding, thinking that when they are disobedient, they can take action when it is time to do it. In fact, this is a very wrong concept. Because no matter the way of hitting, it will make the dog feel afraid of the opponent. For example, you will hit it every time you raise your hand, and when you raise your hand to stroke it again, it will also feel nervous. The so-called hand phobia tendency.

In addition, there are many people who like to tap the ground with newspaper rolls or plastic bottles to make them realize that they are wrong. As for these two methods, the opinions of experts are mixed, so it can only be said that it is different from dog to dog. However, we still recommend against using these two methods if other punishment methods are effective.
