I kind of hate to say it like this but I have trained a lot of retrievers. So re-routed my parenting and I get better results from him and our relationship is much better.This в†‘ You don't know heartbreak until you realize your kid is scared of you. All I wound up with was a kid who flinched if he ever sensed I was mad at him or in a bad move. I've done the former and spanked and realized it didn't generate the desired response. The question I asked myself early on was this do I want my child to obey me out of fear of physical pain or do I want my child to obey me and do the right thing out of respect for me and others? I've had a couple that you could give a dirty look to and they'd straighten up, others require an e-collar, with the dial turned all the way up.

As a father of 3, I can tell you for 100% certainty that no two are the same, they're all wired differently and respond differently to different types of punishment.kinda like some of the labs I've trained. Keep your opinions to yourself, nobody cares what you thinkWe'll said Feetsy. Point is, each child is different, and blanket statements rarely make sense in a parenting discussion, especially when made by people with no children or parents that use game consoles and TVs as babysitters. Then I can look at my youngest sideways and say something about my belt and he'll break down in tears. I could beat my oldest until he bled and he'd go right back to doing whatever it was I whipped his ass for to begin with, but take away something like his BB gun or the golf cart and you'd think the world was coming to an end. Y'all could've ended the thread after this post.

Wespank real punishment
