Re: [jason] Physical punishment

It depends on how severe the physical punishment is. Training should be done with a choke chain, so that one quick jerk of the chain will be enough to reprimand your dog. Remember, training should be a positive experience for your dog. If you keep on physically hurting him, he'll come to hate training and this will undoubtedly hinder any progress. Personally, I don't physically punish my dog unless she's done a very bad thing such as snapping at other dogs (she's not very sociable). In these cases, just tap their nose with the end of the leash. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much hopeless at training (no discipline from yours truly), so I can't say much. Any other comments? -= Tisha =-
