What are some acceptable ways to physically discipline your pet?
<|assistant|>
Acceptable methods of physical discipline for pets include using a gentle, calming voice, giving them occasional petting or cuddles, applying light verbal corrections, using a rubbing rag or brush on their coat, gentle corrective scruffing with the hands, and using a specialized training collar or lead. Harsh, physical corrections such as shaking, striking, pinching, pulling or twisting fur, and forcefully hitting with an object should be avoided.
