How do you discipline a dog that won't listen?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Disciplinary methods that are considered to be positive and beneficial are: Time-outs. Using your voice to put a stop to unwanted behavior, rather than hitting your dog. Taking their toys away. Avoiding giving your dog attention when they misbehave.


How do you punish your dog when he doesn't listen?

First, stop your dog in the act of whatever he's doing, then give him a different, pet parent-approved option. For example, if you walk into a room and notice him chewing your shoes or hairbrush, swiftly tell him "No!" and take the item out of his mouth. Once your dog is calm, present him with an actual chew toy.

Should I hit my dog if they dont listen?

Hitting or beating is thought to discourage bad behaviors when applied with the proper force, timing, and redirection. However, pain-based aversive techniques are risky. Studies show that they significantly increase stress, lower a dog's quality of life, and may even increase dog aggression.

How do you discipline a dog if they misbehave?

Use a positive, but stern, tone of voice. Screaming and yelling instill fear, while a stern, assertive tone shows leadership. Put your dog in a time-out when he misbehaves. Have a small room, such as a laundry room or bathroom, set up with no toys or anything that your dog can destroy.
