Mastering the Art of 'Dogfighting': A Comprehensive Gui

Without a leash, this dog sticks close to its owner without hesitation. When asked to perform the 'sit' command, the dog refuses at first, but only complies when the owner raises their voice. When encountering other dogs, the dog may bark or engage in playfulness, and the owner's attempts to call it back are inconsistent. If chased and scolded, the dog returns immediately, and the owner proudly exclaims, "See, that's it, such a good boy."Moreover, this dog is not particularly affectionate; it fears being touched by strangers and will growl as a warning when approached by anyone other than its owner.Whether wellbehaved or not, the dog's expression and eyes suggest it is not a happy creature.If you don't care about your dog's happiness, don't mind strangers touching it (or even think it's a good thing, as it won't run off with others), and have confidence that your dog won't attack other dogs or pedestrians, the following content may not be suitable for you.Why would a dog behave this way after being beaten? It's actually quite simple to explain.Even if a dog makes a mistake, regardless of whether it understands why it's wrong or if it's caught in the act, any dog beaten will carry the psychological shadow of fear. With repeated beatings, a dog may become fearful of hands reaching out, anticipating nothing good will happen. This condition is also known as "handshyness."Don't expect it to be affectionate towards humans.It's also unlikely to pass the "Good Citizen Dog" test, and taking it to the groomer or vet can be a source of worry.And sometimes, there's a恶性循环, where the dog growls when others try to touch it, and the owner scolds it, "You're getting bold!" The dog may be forced to be touched or, if pushed to the limit, may retaliate with an attack.It's like a person who stutters, constantly laughed at when speaking, leading to even greater fear, especially since dogs can't regulate their own emotions.This constant punishment and psychological pressure can lead to passive obedience in many dogs, resulting in behaviors like barking, not responding to commands, growling, inappropriate urination, guarding food, and even aggression. The dog's life is undoubtedly oppressive.Handshyness is more common in small dogs, and sometimes, when a large dog's owner beats their dog, they'll even add, "My dog's skin is thick, it doesn't hurt." I truly don't understand the purpose of beating a dog.Dog socialization is divided into two main categories:One is the friendly interaction with other dogs and other animals, and the other is the friendly social interaction with humans.Contrary to the dog being beaten from a young age, there's another scenario where a dog is constantly touched by various people (while being taught not to lunge at others), becomes friendly towards humans, and, due to being on a leash, doesn't disturb those who dislike dogs, allowing the dog to enjoy being loved.Of course, there are risks with this kind of dog, such as being stolen, poisoned, or involved in a fraudulent claim. Therefore, the owner must keep a close eye on it, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and practice拒食 training.So, how can you stop your dog's misbehavior without hitting it and still assert your authority as the owner?It's quite simple. When you see your dog misbehaving, loudly reprimand it; if it jumps onto the bed, gently push it off; use your control over the "food rights" and "walking rights" to strengthen its obedience, and reinforce positive behaviors with praise.It's more trouble and takes longer to see results than just hitting the dog, but this is a choice that responsible owners make!For a dog to have good socialization, to become more affectionate, and at least to allow friends and family to touch it, all of this starts with not hitting the dog.
