Many owners are accustomed to using "beating and scolding education" for animals. They believe that hitting the dog with hands and feet is discipline and training. They are opposed to other methods and insist that they just have "different views." Dr. Dai Gengji, an animal behavior therapist, issued an article yesterday (3rd) criticizing that contempt for science and different opinions are two different things. "Some people think that beating dogs is a method of training dogs. Don't tell me that is an 'opinion'." "It's just different, that's contempt for science!"

Dr. Dai Genji specializes in both veterinary medicine and animal behavior. He said in his personal fan group "Animal Behavior Therapist Dr. Dai Genji": Human progress is due to science, but science is changing with each passing day, so we must constantly update it. Some people insist on their previous knowledge and despise science. Maybe you can say "different opinions", but contempt of science and different opinions are two different things. He gave an example: "For example, the explosion in Tianjin. Using ancient methods to manage modern dangerous goods is contempt of science."

Regarding dog owners who regard "beating" as a reasonable method of discipline, Dr. Dai Gengji said, "Some people think that beating is a method of training dogs. Don't tell me that it is just a 'different point of view', that is Contempt science!" He suggested that for people who love dogs but can't find a way to solve the problem, the steps are: "1. Read a few behavioral books by real scholars and experts. 2. Listen to more behavioral lectures. 3. If none of the above can To solve the problem, don't ask questions online, but find a professional and qualified trainer to help you."

Dr. Dai Gengji mentioned, "Don't think that you are required to take classes for money. Your mentality needs to be adjusted. Don't think bad of others first." He also mentioned that he started to educate dogs more than ten years ago. At that time, he held classes in person on his behavior and concepts; but now he no longer teaches classes to general owners in person, but devotes his energy to giving lectures and training good trainers. Therefore, parents should find a trainer to take classes. , the starting point should be for your own dog, so "it has nothing to do with who you want to look for." He also said: "Your life is your own. What kind of life is a dog in your home like? Know whether your drinking water is hot or cold!"

After reading the article, some fans said, "I can't bear to beat a dog. Sometimes I scold it and just look at you pitifully, which makes my heart soften!" Some people despise people who "beat dogs without being taught": "There are many People are unwilling to do any homework, so they say that dogs can’t handle it! How much does it cost to raise a child? But they are unwilling to spend some time and money on dogs (even if it is one thousandth or ten thousandth of raising children) , in this case, don’t keep dogs casually!” Some people admitted that when they didn’t understand, they had beaten and scolded dogs, and thought they loved dogs very much; but since they came into contact with the parenting method of neither beating nor scolding, “it is obvious that The dog is much more confident, and his trust in me has increased significantly, and our relationship is more equal and closer."
