Punishment vs. Correction in Dogs
A dog should never be punished for deeds you do not like, but rather corrected. What's the difference between a punishment and a correction? A correction is when you give a command of disapproval at the moment the deed is about to be done or is being done. A punishment is anything there after.
For example, lets say you have a dog who jumped through your screen. You come home to find the dog not where he is supposed to be. Believe it or not it is too late to communicate with the dog that he should not be jumping through the screen unless he starts to jump through again. To punish a dog for a past deed only confuses the dog, hurts the trust between owner and dog and teaches the dog nothing useful. Dogs do not have the same sense of logic that humans have. They do not plan, premeditate or reason out situations like humans do.
