I noticed a common mistake however, which is an important one to clarify. Adding pain is not negative reinforcement. Negative means taking something away, reinforcement makes a behavior stronger. So an example of negative reinforcement in dog training would be the ear pinch: you STOP (take away) pinching the ear when the dog opens his mouth. What you are describing when you are talking about hitting a dog is actually called positive punishment. You are ADDING something to make the behavior occur less often. Check out a psychology 101 text for the definitions of positive punishment, negative punishment, positive reinforcement, and negative reinforcement. The definitions are critical in the field of dog training. I like your ideas and recommendation. I noticed a common mistake however, which is an important one to clarify.
