I think I depends on a dog’s personality but a little tap to get their attention can’t hurt don’t need to make it hurt thoughI have a 14 month old Weimaraner and I take him everywhere I can . He minds pretty good , but gets distracted easily .
If I tell him to lay down and he doesn't , I smack him on the head with the end of the leash , just hard enough to make it pop .
A lady at the restaurant saw me do it and gave me a dirty look , so I asked her , Are you giving me a dirty look because I hit the dog ?
Yes she said and turned away with her nose in the air .
Am I wrong here ? I'm not hurting him , just hit him hard enough to get his attention . All my dogs have minded and everyone always comments on how well they listen to me .
Don't lie... you know you kick them because your lower back hurts to bend down to smack em with your hand, it's Ok to admit it!I prefer not to hit my dog. I am afraid I might get bitten. Kicking them reduces the risk of a bite.
quite the trollerhow often do you shoot a Eurasian?
You silly dog beaters probably just haven’t asked them how they identify. Maybe they’ll listen better and you won’t have to thump them.
That being said. You train your dog the way that works for you. I’ll train my dog the way that works for me. And both of us should seek new methods and ways to improve.
The worst thing you can do is stand by idly while your dog misbehaves, and the 2nd worst thing you can do is keep training the same way over and over and expect different results.
Everyone’s bravado comes out when it comes to their dog. Let’s face it, some people ‘s dogs are crap because they allowed them to be.
Just enough to get there attentionSame as kids (most of em), start early and all it takes it a little pop or flip, instant correction is more important than the pain inflicted in my opinion

A pop under the chin to a dog is one thing, but Jesus, I can't understand someone that would hit their own kid. Using violence will never change someone's behavior for the better. Pure neanderthal ignorance.
I have two young, well-behaved children who are polite, kind and respectful, all without EVER having to get physical. Imagine that.Long as you're consistent like this? You'll be able to count ON ONE HAND how many times you've had to get physical with your kid throughout his childhood years.
