Dog Punishment for Misbehaving: The Standing Correction Technique

When it comes to correcting your dog, it's essential to teach them the standing command first. Begin by having your dog sit facing you. Then, hold a treat in your hand and place it near their nose, allowing them to sniff it. Once they're aware of the treat, give the command to 'sit'!

Next, during training sessions, signal to your dog to focus on the treat you're holding. Gradually lift your hand, maintaining a position where the dog cannot reach the treat. As your pet tries to reach for the food, they will naturally stand up. This is the perfect moment to issue the 'stand' command.

When your dog successfully stands, reward them with the treat in your hand. Allow them to enjoy it, then instruct them to sit down. Over time, they will understand the process of standing on command!

It's important to note that training dogs to stand and using the standing correction technique are two distinct concepts. When correcting a dog, position them against a wall and be firm and unemotional in giving commands. Your dog should be able to sense your mood, understanding that standing is a form of punishment. Consistent training sessions can help reinforce this behavior.
