Physically touching your pet in a gentle and loving way, such as petting, stroking or brushing, is also an acceptable form of discipline. Physically correcting your pet through activities such as correction and training commands and redirecting your pet’s behavior with a calm and collected attitude can also be effective. However, any physical discipline should always be done in a respectful, conscientious and responsible manner.
