Back to training

If you need to be violent with your pet

well

oftentimes it's the trainer, not the pet

My mom wanted me to get an irish wolfhound or poodle

eh well I never claimed to be a trainer I just said it prevents violent animals

Problem with that is

Your dog isn't an idiot

and it knows the pain originates from you

But it's not a genius

I Suppose so

and it probably won't make the connection that the pain is a result of his own actions

so all you're doing is teaching the dog that violence is a thing that it can do

*Worst* case scenario? You instill this lesson.

"Hitting, slapping, and biting is a fun game that my owner plays with me. Let me try playing it with him, and with others."

Other bad lessons you could teach the dog?

doesn't seem to be very common if at all

"A person’s hand or face coming toward me, is a bad thing. I should run away from people, or bite the hand or face that is a threat to me."

O

@xTroubledxSoulx daily reminder that dogs are mans best friend and that dogs killed terrorists

L

murica fuck yeah

Another lesson you could give the dog?
"My owner, or a person coming toward me, means pain. I should stay away from people, or keep them away by growling and biting."

Hey, Incel. @Farunel Do those sound like things a dog could reasonably learn when you hit them?

haven't seen that either tbh as long as you socialize them

Creepers are sexy

hear me out

jk

Yeah, sounds about right to me. And any variation in between.

Also, socializing probably doesn't mean what you think it does if you think that. Socializing doesn't equate to tolerance of abuse lol

Also

Violence as a training method *is a part of socialization*

Quite literally.

no but I've not seen dogs suddenly be anti social because they get beat to the contrary I've seen them beaten for anti social behavior lmao such as barking nipping or growling at people

In every sense of the word socialization.

Well just because you've not seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Moreover, I have seen dogs go from neutral to aggro because their owner hits them so I don't know what you're gonna do with that information.

UwU

Also it's proven that dogs respond better to reward-based discipline.
