pop on the nose, yeah...
Key words "Good beating?"
Nothing good from that term...and a human who needs to beat up a smaller animal? Sounds like a sicko in training training to beat his wife and mass murder.
He ever think of broken bones for the animal? Internal injuries? Killing it outright? When you can pop a rolled up newspaper to the nose? When a Animal rolls over and exposes it's belly it's a sign of surrender and exposes the soft organs for a quick kill. At what time the dominate animal walks away knowing the surrendering one has learned. Shame humans can't pick up on that and just keep going.

I have never had to hit a pet and consider it utterly unnecessary. I also strenuously disapprove of trying to terrorise your pet. If that is what it takes then you are doing it wrong and you should re-consider your pet ownership. A light nudge or sharp "no" should be more than enough and it really is all in the timing (in that your cat or dog really live in the moment and I doubt that they understand if you yell and kick off too long after the fact).
Simple truth - I ever see anyone hitting or beating an animal, I am calling the fucking RSPCA.

my dig is afraid of me raising my voice, no hitting, no locking in rooms, just a little volume and he comes to attention
Hitting an animal is cruel, that's all there is to it. You have to train them the way you would a child.
depends on the situation and the pet, larger, pack oriented animals like say, german shepards will need a good smack everyonce and again because you need to let it know your the alpha.
i've been training dogs all my life, most of the time a good yell and a time out will do, but somtimes the dog wont care about that and will need smack on the nose or a rough pull on a leash.
also: remember kiddies, training an animal isn't just punishing disobediance, you need to reward good behavior as well.

Beating it doesn't help but if it does something wrong a smack on the nose quickly corrects the behaviour and makes it associate the action with pain. Then reward the good behaviours and you're fine.
HAHAHA, it's as if you think I stand over my pet shouting "YOU'RE NOTHING YOU MISERABLE LITTLE TWIT! YOU'VE GOT NO REASONING POWER AND YOU STINK, TOO!"twasdfzxcv said:
Bwahaha, go away little troll.
I actually just read an article about this tonight and in order to train dogs, because they have the memory of a squirrel, you have to teach them the second an action happens if is it a desired behavior or not. Mostly through a reward system, you teach them the proper way and then if they do something wrong, you can scold them but you shouldn't hit them.
Well, if your dog isn't listening or it snaps at someone or something like that then a flick on the nose or a smack on the rear is A-OKAY but you should never beat your dog. Even why my dog ate my sisters 4 year old hamster all we did was smack her on the ass and put her outside overnight, and if she growls she gets a flick on the nose.
On a related note kick your brothers ass. Hard. Always love your dog and pet her.

Did your parents not spank you?SmilingKitsune said:
Hitting a pet is never the right answer. Far too often, it only aggravates or confuses the animal, rather than teaching it. It's so much better for the pet's mental state (and usually easier on the owner in the long run) to go with a system of positive reinforcement.
I'd argue that when they show aggression, it's the worst possible idea to use a physical blow. Take the animal away and out of sight of what's aggravating it, and treat it when it shows a calmer stance. It may take longer, but on the other hand flicking it on the nose or smacking its backside may warrant with a bitten hand or set the dog off to attack whatever it is that's bothering it.PurplePox said:
Well beating it doesn't really solve the problem,it just teaches them to not do it when you're around.
It's a carrot and stick. If you just use one or the other when training a dog (or indeed any animal) you're doing it wrong.
