My dogs were all raised from tiny pups. For barking, I used a lightly rolled newspaper and swated their butts, along with a stern NO! That only lasted about 2 days. Then if it happened again, all I did was slapped my hands together loudly and said NO! That lasted for no more then a week, no more barking, problem solved.
They were all very happy, calm, good people dogs, that needed almost no correction thereafter.
Btw you sound nice and i don't mean to say you did anything wrong. You used commands together with a physical motion. They responded to both and you stopped the physical quickly which is the correct thing to do.
Like Claire said, a swat won't help train the dog. Swats are to get attention only. You can swat a dog during play because he will see your intention ahead of time but never hit an animal from anger. That will only lead to agressive behavior when they get scared.
I love dogs and I spend most of my time with them. I hope to be a vet one day, but what clair says is spot on.
Kate, I dont interrupt often but I am Nikkis' girlfriend. If you and hateful could please knock it off Iwould appreaciate it. I am not asking much. Nik/claire has given most of her life to dogs. I dont understand it at all and you sound nice, but she is my girlfriend so leave her to be please.
Is it normal to punish dogs when they do something bad or bark
