Question

WHEN TO USE NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT IN CLASS

Answer 1

you don't!!! ever!!
one of the first things you should have been taught in puppy class is ignore the bad behaviour, reward the good.
the closest you should ever come to using negative punishment is correctness.
if this isn't explained to you properly in the classes, your getting ripped off and should use another,.

Answer 2

Positive training is the best way to go. I'm a dog training instructor and I would say at least 95% of the dogs are successfully trained that way. The only kind of negative punishment I would reccomend is a squirt bottle or bitter apple spray. I hate how people are so quick to use the pincher collar and the choker Collar on their dogs when there are many harnesses that help with pulling. Training involves a lot of patience. 95% of the time, people use negative punishment because they are too lazy and want instant results. I would say maybe, and I'm stretching it here, that maybe 5% of dogs do need a little more than positive, like using a choker or pincher or other negative stuff, but it's very very rare.

Answer 3

What do you call negative punishment?

If the puppy is out of control and acting aggressive, then a firmer hand needs to be taken. A puppy cannot be allowed to terrorize they whole class, nor can they be allowed to draw blood from people day after day. It all depends on the individual puppy, but generally, negative reinforcers are not neccessay in puppyK.

Answer 4

Dogs do not understand punishment in the same way that we do. So you will find it a useless tool for training a dog.
What dogs do understand is avoidance, but they will avoid a slight tug on their lead, change in the tone of your voice, or even a stern look just as quickly as they would a bash on the head. What is necessary is that the trainer learns to match the sevarity of a correction to the personality of the individual dog.

People will argue long and hard about what is positive and what is negative, but for the most part that is nothing but semantics, so just ignore it. But, always remember "do no harm" and "be fair".
I will be blunt, I am not a cookie trainer. The foundation of my training program is called "force training". (which isn't nearly as bad as the name implies) But my training program has set parameters of exactly when to do what so that the dog understands all the way through it.
Remember too that puppy's develop cognitive skills just like a child does, and it is self defeating to try to teach things before the puppy has the cognitive skills to understand.
We have a set time line of when to do what with our puppy's, and believe it or not it starts at 3 DAYS of age with ENS. But all training should be strictly on a fun and games level until the puppy demonstrates that it will understand the meaning of a correction, This happens at about 6 months, and the puppy will all of a sudden demonstrate a new level of independence.

We do "introductions" between 5 - 12 weeks, before fear memory develops. This way the pup has no memory of being afraid of something the first time it saw it.

From 12 weeks to 6 months is all fun and games. Then at 6 months a formal training (basics) program begins.

Answer 5

Its not called negative punishment, and for a reason.
Punishment should be banned from puppy training; it involves the emotions of revenge and justice.

Negative Reinforcement is acceptable as an environmental response to behaviour - puppy chews the sofa, the sofa tastes bad, pup chews the chew his nice owner gives him and enjoys it.
Pup never realises that his owner sprayed the sofa with bitter apple spray.
Theres no punishment and no revenge.

Another example of negative re-inforcement is pup plays with his litter mate, he bites too hard, his playmate yelps and stops playing. That way pup learns to inhibit his bite.

Answer 6

NEVER! Please pardon the all caps, but there are better ways, praise, simply putting a hand down, a pull on the lead. That is punishment enough to communicate from all I know.

Answer 7

There is to much emphasis on training/punishment classes. Be sure you go to a reputable person, and give your dog lots of exercise and a kick in the goolies now and then for bad behaviour!!

Answer 8

You shouldn't.Puppy are baby's they don't learn fast they watch and then learn with how ever many times they have seen it.If they don't do something right use a firm voice and tell them that is wrong.It worked like a charm with my dog.

Answer 9

the best way to do negative reinforcement on puppies is to squirt them with water (from a water gun or a spray bottle) when they do something bad. at least its "humane." :)

Answer 10

i ask your self... Do you recognize that it takes longer than at some point to coach a canines? you mustn't be possessing a canines in case you have in basic terms the canines for maybe 4 weeks and think of you recognize each and every thing. The alpha rolls(what you're doing) have been shown to be ineffective, and in basic terms make a canines nervous. A nervous Airedale will substitute into an aggressive Airedale. i'm unsure what you have accomplished, yet whilst he bites, purely thoroughly supply up twiddling with him. It has worked for my canines, whom, via the way, is an akita/wolf/husky mixture, all 3 of that are genetically dominant canines. My canines is extremely obedient, and he will additionally stand there observing me as quickly as I open the door for him to get out - because of the fact he's familiar with that i flow out first. He would not pull on his lead, he's very watchful of my physique language to recognize what i'm doing, which way i'm turning, and how he can stick to me. as quickly as I permit him loose in our fenced-in park, he comes as quickly as I call him. in case you think of my canines controls me, you're patently incorrect. whilst your doggy bites you, purely supply up enjoying and forget approximately him for 5 minutes, then initiate enjoying lower back. uncomplicated as that. worked on my terrier doggy(and an Airedale is a terrier, purely so which you recognize), besides as my wolf mixture. I enormously doubt i've got accomplished something incorrect if the two canines to look to me for management. EDIT;; via the way, momma would not have accomplished the comparable element he's doing. mom canines growl to warn, and if mandatory, will snap on the doggy. They by no ability grab the doggy's scruff and pin them down. the reason human beings can not do it rather is because of the fact, nicely... we are human. we are no longer canines. we gained't talk to them the way they talk to a minimum of one yet another. hence, we do something else - punish them via ignoring them. they like your interest, so via pinning them you're giving them precisely what they like - interest. unfavourable interest, sure, which will bring about aggression, yet interest in spite of the certainty that. in case you forget approximately them, you're coaching them that doing something undesirable will bring about the only element they like being taken away - precisely like a toddler you're coaching to no longer hit or throw his toys.
