Often times when a dog runs and hides from you it's a conditioned response from your emotions or the idea of a previous event. When dealing with a situation like this it is best to not punish the dog unless you catch them in the act, after about 30 seconds the dog will have no idea what you are punishing him for. And this goes for all breeds, now im not trying to call anyone's dog stupid or dumb, Im simply saying that their minds work differnt from ours since they are dogs. If you were to pick them up and punish them when finding something at random and putting their face in it they would have no clue, Dog's do not inheritenly know what obedience is nor do they now what right or wrong is. They must learn this from there pack in early socialization, and from us and the way our emotions and actions come thru to them will help them to develop those responses. |
