Dog Training – Dog Punishments
May 11th
There are many different punishments for getting your dog to learn the difference between right and wrong, and there are many dog trainers that will tell you that their method is the best way or that a different type of punishment, whether it be positive or negative punishment, is better than the method you??re using now.
Dogs need punishment to keep them in order and to teach them what is acceptable and what is not, without some form of punishment there would be no way of showing your dog these things, and no way of training them.
There are two types of punishment for your dogs; there are positive punishments and negative punishments. Positive punishments are punishments when you give you dog something, for example giving a tug on the leash or verbal correction. Negative punishments are when you take away something your dog needs or expects such as treats or toys or having the dog be taken away from you.
I am a strong believer that positive punishments should only be used in moderation or not at all, serious injuries to your dog??s safety and health may occur by over using or incorrectly using positive punishment. There is no dog training exercise that cannot be accomplished by using the negative punishment.
For dog safety reasons I will only talk about negative punishments and dog punishments that I would use and are fully safe for your dogs. 9 times out of 10 positive punishments cause your dog to react in a similar way towards other people or the owner. If you are going to use positive punishment it is highly recommended that you consult a professional dog trainer before doing so.
The most popular and some of the best negative punishment are listed below and should be enforced within 10 seconds of the crime being committed to have any affect and avoid confusion
Time out:
Take your dog to a room cut off from other family members and any attention for a short period of time.
Take away toys:
Stop your dog from having any toys for a short period of time.
Ignore your dog:
Totally ignore your dog for a period of time so they get no attention, fuss, or eye contact.
No treats:
Don??t give your dog the treat he would have normally had for good behavior

the more i read about dog training, the more confused i get! what’s the best known approach to training a dog?
May 8th
i watch cesar on tv-that makes sense, i’ve read many books on”positive only” approaches-that makes sense too. i have tried both clicker training and cesar’s way. i feel very confused. and opinions are strong and dogmatic(no pun intended) in both “camps”. meanwhile, my dog still has problems. one “way” seems to work for some things, another for others.
A few questions about clicker training a dog?
May 7th
We’re adopting a two year old Retriever/Greyhound from our local humane society. I am not certain as to the level of training she has and want to try out clicker training with her.
I can’t seem to find definitive answers to the following:
1. When you click and treat, do you also praise? Should I be saying, “Good girl!” while I am giving her the treat?
2. Do you correct at all with clicker training? I realize it is positive reinforcement, but does that mean that one does not correct? No saying “NO!” or anything like that?
Thanks to all.
