I've studied dog and animal behavior in college, i've read TONs of books on the subject matter, and i've learned from professional dog trainers/behaviorists. i know what i'm talking about. maybe this method worked with your dogs and maybe they're not scared, fearful, or over submissive, but this is not the way to train dogs not to pee in the house. About peeing/pooping in the house and hitting/spanking, here's what a couple behaviorists/trainers had to say about it.
applied animal behaviorist, Dr. McConnell: "dogs who are treated this way cower in terror (not guilt) when their owners return home but are much more likely to defecate on the rug out of nervousness or fear in the house, because who knows what that maniac will do next time he comes home."
dog trainer, Kathy Santos: 'never, never yell at a puppy for making a mistake in the house.' 'venting your frustration would only suceed in scaring the puppy/dog and perhaps promoting submissive urination or worse a dog who goes into hiding when he goes to the bathroom-location unknown.'
and the ever popular Ceasar Millan: "hitting a dog isn't acceptable. You cannot use fear as a means of making an animal behave, it doesn't work. Showing an animal strong leadership and giving it rules is not hte same thing as instilling fear and punishing it." |
ONCE AGAIN!!! I'm not talking about training, I'm talking about when the dog disobeys and they KNOW they are doing wrong, after they are trained. Big difference hear. I'm not even going to bother reading the rest of your reply since you obviously aren't even responding to what I said. I agree it's not right to hit a PUPPY while it's being trained. Can I make that any more clearer for you? So yeah for TRAINING, you are right...but please, read my posts carefully before you respond to them.
