In case you are thinking about purchasing a puppy and taking it home to become your new best friend, don’t expect your dog to obey all your instructions from day one. You will need to teach it slowly and avoid any form of physical punishment when doing so.

Being abusive with your puppy will do nothing but have an adverse effect in the relationship as time goes on between you and your pet.

Because puppies are not any different to human babies, smacking your dog will not help much because it is still in its infancy and does not understand the difference between right and wrong. All you are really doing is scaring the poor animal and causing it to distance itself from you.

The psychology behind this is that dog when young, do not make the distinction between the pain it receives when you hit it, and the reason that you are having it punished. If it was biting on your shoe and you gave it a smack, all you did was to instill fear and confusion into the poor puppy, without it knowing what it had done wrong. It might be a different case for adult dogs.

You might think that punishing your dog with a light smack is fine. It might not hurt so much but it will terrify the life out of the infant dog and if you continue to do this, it will eventually learn to steer clear of you when it sees you, and you’ll never form a close bond with it.

Shouting can also be terrifying for a puppy. While you think that shouting will cause no harm, the consequences are the same as hitting, and your dog will not trust you as much.

Besides being vocally loud, a more effective training method you should employ would be to speak to your dog in a very firm tone to get it to cease doing what it was doing. Then pick up your pup and give it a huge to give it reassurance and some love.

In conclusion, treat a your little one just as you would with a human being. Be gentle and show it kindness, and never display anger in any way, either vocally or physically. Follow these rules of conduct and you’ll surely end up with a loving dog who will always serve and protect you.
