Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Dog Federation, said that the worst punishment for a dog is to be ignored. With such punishment, the dog will only behave worse, it will not bring positive results; highlighted He is in talks with RIAMO.
Golubev explained that this type of punishment causes resistance because it is linked to the pet’s herd instinct.
“The fact is that in the wild a herd ignores young animals, separating them from itself. In addition to being ignored, they may also display irrational aggression. The loss of the herd for an animal can threaten starvation or death, the expert said.
If the owner does not pay attention to his dog’s movements and at the same time shows hidden or open aggression, this will negatively affect the animal. The dog begins to become angry and its unwanted behavior becomes more frequent.
“Also, the dog may begin to leave its mark in the house, this is done to leave its scent and thus secure itself in the “pack”,” warned the dog handler.
Let us also remind you that Golubev explainedthat dogs should not be kept on a chain, as this can lead to negative consequences for joints, muscles and spine, as well as the emergence of excess weight, problems with the cardiovascular system and metabolism.
