A lot of people who are against punishment will explain how cruel it is while at the same time feeding their dog kibble or eating burgers. If anyone has seen video of what happens in the slaughterhouse that produced that kibble or burger they will know that a brisk spanking or correction with a pinch is so minor as to be almost uncomparable. And if you feed your dog a strictly vegetarian diet you're probably torturing your dog more than any punishment.
The only reason I mention this is because I'd like to set moral thoughts aside on this thread. Does anyone here use punishment/physical correction as part of their training? Is it effective? Is its completely abandonment for 100% positive reinforcement in a lot of training circles out of effectiveness or because of sensitivity?
Anyone here ever spank their dog? Is it ever a good idea? Just curious, not looking to judge.
