chosen.content: Negative reinforcement such as punishments and reprimands can be effective ways to physically discipline a pet, butPositive reinforcement, using treats and rewards, can be an effective way to encourage desired behavior. 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. Ultimately, any pet discipline should always strive to ensure the safety of both the pet and the owner and promote a loving and lasting bond.

rejected.content: Physical discipline of your pet is only acceptable in certain cases, such as preventing it from causing harm to itself or others. Reasonable methods of physical discipline can include positive reinforcement, using noise makers to startle the pet into submission, using light-moderate pet corrector sprays, and light but firm corrections with a newspaper. Always ensure that the corrections are consistent, firm, but never overly harsh or abusive.
