well guys, i went to this latest gathering and met lots of ppl. then i met Ms. Lewis from US. my dog was barking mad at her dogs. so "spontaniously" i hit his mouth (gently, and i always do that) and commanded him to stop that. when Ms. Lewis saw what i did to my dogs, she advised me not to do so and still i remember the "key word"that she mentioned. she told me that "i won't hit someone's mouth if he said something that i don't like?" her statement was like a bell that hit right on my heart and i really feel there is a very big difference between the East and West ppl on the methods to train their dogs. and she was also felt very surprise that there are so many ppl hitting their dogs here (although we love them).
i grown up in a very typical chinese family and it is a very normal scene to see children being punished physically by cane or ear pinching (of course these are not those extreme cases that cause injuries). i, myself even got "beaten up" quite often as i was a naughty one. maybe this is a social "thing" that really growing deep into our society and it has becomes a norm. i was so surprised that Ms. Lewis is able to train her Poms so well without the "cane part". and i really wish to learn from ppl like her on how to train a dog with "cane free" on the behaviour part. (i only punish them when they did something wrong, punishment is never use during training )
so may i know that is there any information, sources, books or whatever that teach a dog owner to train their dogs in a "physical punishement free" way? or is there any trainer who is willing to share this "new" method (for me it is new) with us? or is there any course. but i think i really need some good books on that. i know that we can't do advertising here but i think this is very important to let us know which source is the best to make both the dog and the owner's life more easy and happy. actually i've tried some tricks that i've learned from the books some works but some are not. like the method that Ms. Lewis taught me on how to discourage my "sakai" dog from barking mad is never taught in my books. i'm very sure these comes from experience but i do need advise and books to lead me to the right path.
one more thing, i'm working daily and so i can't stay at home and teaching them all them time. i'm sure most of u is also working right? what i (we) need is a very effective and easy to pick up by the doggies command. so, can we do that without physicall punishment? (as i can't catch them right on time every time they do the wrong thing like miss place on the -poo poo, and pee pee, pull down the clothes that hang up to dry or swallow dirts from the garden, digging holes, chewing mats etc.) what can we do?
i'm looking out for a solution here. so, what do u think??
