What I mean by punishment is . . . let's say you have a dog that likes to poop in the house. So what you do, is you pop the dog on the nose and stick his or her nose in it. That's what I mean by punishment. Now what I mean by roughness in training is like jerking the leash on the dog. It's not exactly punishment, but it's rough.
So when you train a dog or dogs, are you for or against using punishment or roughness in your training?
I myself really don't know enough to have a say in this. I read in books that punishment and roughness actually have a reverse effect. I've never popped a dog on the nose, but I did have problems using the training methods that I read about. Like for example, my last dog would not stay still enough for me to put the halti on. She would bite my hands and chew on the halti. One day some guests came over and saw this and the man said, "Why don't you slap the mess outta him? He'll stop then".
I don't know enough to say whether or not I had done that would she have stayed still.
