When changing your pet's behavior, you
must remember the two of you are not at all alike. Animals have a different
language, social structure and different values than humans. This means that
you need to understand how your pet thinks so you can change his bad habits.
Punishment, such as striking, or even
yelling, tends to make a pet fear you possibly resulting in aggression
toward you or one of your family members.
Punishment alone rarely solves any behavior problems; it stresses you and
your pet and it never teaches your pet what it should be doing instead of
misbehaving. We have created a wealth of pet behavior information and advice
which should help you solve many behavior problems!
