Negative Punishment For Dogs

Dogs need discipline. Some dog owners find negative punishment effective when
it comes to correcting their dogs. It almost always works and it’s humane as well
as safe. Plus: it can help with healthy communication and developing good
behaviour.

Positive versus Negative punishment

Correcting your dog is never done by hitting or slapping your dog. This can lead to aggression.
