Am i the only person that will not hit my dog???

It seems as if everyone i talk to hits animals, even if its with a newspaper. My dogs can get annoying at times, but I would never, ever hit them. I was always taught that it can create more aggressiveness. Plus, would you hit your child all the time. I can understand a tap on the snout every now and again, but not all the time.

It just gets me angry. Thanks for letting me vent!!!!!

The only times I've whacked Brodie are if he's doing something dangerous.

Like chewing on an electrical cord. He's never done it again.

Generally my stern "mommy" voice is enough to get him to stop anything. No physical contact required!!

Re: Am i the only person that will not hit my dog???

I am learning the hard way, that everyone in the world has an opinion about how you should treat your dog. I posted about this a few days ago. Anyway, My dog has a troublesome past and we've had to teach him a lot. I still don't hit him. We do scold him and use a spray bottle but mostly we use positive reinforcement.

I think I may have hit her once or twice when she bit but I found just pinning her down until she calmed down to be more effective. Now a stern voice is all it takes.

Same with us. I think Sim has it too. When I talk to him he always looks like he has this board look going on

I only hit Misty once - She kept trying to lick the food out of the dishwasher and I told her No like three or four times and she totally ignored me so I bopped her on the top of the nose.

I never hit my dogs just talk in a stern voice and they put their tails between their legs works and you dont have to hit an animal that cant hit you back!!

They hit them but not to intentionally abuse them. They always give me advice as to how to handle my dogs and they always say if the dog is being bad to hit it with a newspaper, etc.

I just thought, since i dont believe in really hitting my dogs, that i was the minority. I guess the people i talk to are not animal lovers like i am. I refuse to hurt my animal in any way. They are my babies.

I think thats more of the "old school" way of training. My parents used to do that sort of thing and that seemed normal at the time.

No, I hit my old dog on 2 occasions and I still feel so guilty for it, even though she's been dead for 5 years Chat Icon I couldn't do it again to a dog. I don't think they understand why you do it.
