My puppy is teething and bites anything to relieve the pain, we have bought many appropriate toys for teething and when he nips us we say NO firmly and give him a toy. When he takes the toy we praise him (OTT with the praise he loves it) When he nips us again he gets told NO they soon learn.
I must be honest, I would never smack a puppy (Or adult come to that) I also feel very strongly against any form of
electric shock.
How would we feel is we were smacked or given an electric shock every time we made a mistake.
I know CRUEL is a strong word, and I may get slatted for saying it, but I feel that it is cruel to inflict this on any animal, human or otherwise. |
