Beating and scolding education originated from the human family. If a person has never been punished by his parents, he will not know how to punish others. We have many behavioral patterns ourselves, all related to your family education. We all know that we don’t like to be scolded, but the education of beating and scolding has been embedded in our lives invisibly. Regarding the discipline of your own dog, when faced with the dog’s behavioral problems, because you can’t find a solution, you will use beating and scolding, because at the moment, you may see fake “effects”, such as At the beginning we mentioned "Trial and Error Learning".

In the middle of the night, your dog barked because he heard something moving outside. In order to stop the dog from making noise, you scolded or punished the dog. At that moment, the barking stopped temporarily because of your scolding or punishment, but The dog will bark more and more seriously in the future. Punishment only temporarily stops the barking on the surface, but it actually strengthens the barking behavior, because the dog gets a brief socialization with you after barking, including verbal socialization and even substantial social contact. . And this kind of "social contact" is exactly what dogs want.

Similar to "positive reinforcement", what is "positive reinforcement"? Positive reinforcement is: giving a dog something he likes to make the behavior happen more often. The situation here is: giving the dog the "social contact" he likes makes the "barking" behavior happen more often. So the final result of the punishment turns out to be: it strengthens the behavior and also makes the dog have a "fearful" reaction towards you. Beating and scolding education is the only way to make parents feel better after they can't find a solution to their children's bad behavior, because at least you have done something rather than nothing.

The reality is: you should enrich your knowledge before educating children or dogs.
