| Re: Hey guys, first post here. Need some help, been disciplining my Rott w/ spankings :( Thanks for the response Moondog.
What I mean by him cowering after doing something wrong is something like, him repeatedly ignoring my calls for him to come if he's ran across the yard to my neighbors house. When I come to get him after him not listening, he'll know he should have listened and cowers down to me when we meet. Or, if he's chewing on the carpet or something in the house and I go to point at the carpet and tell him know, he'll cower backwards slightly thinking I'm going to smack him.
I definitely do NOT want that. Second to my son, Zeus is my best buddy in the whole world and he IS a GREAT boy. Loves my son, VERY gentle, knows his nibbling/biting limits on pressure, lets me know when he needs to go outside, doesn't bark hardly at ALL, etc etc. Probably the most well behaved dog i've ever seen considering my lack of training knowledge/ability. I've gotten better, but could definitely use some pointers.
