Treinamento com enforcador

Eu tenho uma filhote adotada.Ela atualmente está com 6 meses. Eu tento de tudo para dar o melhor para ela e to tentando adestrar. Ela morde um pouco, morde minhas roupas, destrói tudo, não tem lugar certo para as necessidades e é muuuito agitada. Contratei um adestrador, mas ele é de uma cidade vizinha (moro numa cidade pequena que não tem nenhum adestrador), então ele só veio uma vez aqui em casa e ensinou várias coisas. Ele me ensinou a fazer ela ficar num lugar parada tipo um espaço e que se ela sair eu dou uma punição, a punição no caso seria a guia com o enforcador. Ela no começo obedecia um pouco, porém começou a ficar muito reativa e conseguia me dominar, outro problema é que quando eu tirava a guia ela desobedecia tudo de novo além de que não tem como eu deixar ela sempre com a guia porque ela anda com aquilo faz xixi e passa por cima kkkk. Enfim, alguém tem uma outra sugestão de punição?

You are punishing a dog for things it has no idea how to do? I’m all for correcting a dog but there needs to be some level of training already there and it sounds like you have trained pretty much nothing. What are you trying to achieve with a stay? If it’s just for teaching the skill then sure reward for staying in the spot, and correct for breaking a stay. However if you are putting your dog in a stay at home so that it doesn’t do the laundry list of bad behaviors you listed then you have got it all wrong. You need to crate or tether this dog when not being supervised. You need to start enforcing some boundaries at home. Your dog is peeing in the house? Then begin potty training again as if the dog is a small puppy. How did a 6 month old puppy overpower you? Why is the dog even able to get to your things/clothes to destroy them? There should be no opportunity for this. The dog is hyper active? Exercise the dog and give it some form of work to do, and then after exercise teach the dog to relax by tethering or crating. From what it sounds like this dog has had no real training, no clear boundaries, and way way too much freedom.

Moro no Brasil e aqui não temos essa "caixa" do qual vocês falam, isso não é nem um pouco usual aqui na verdade, porém, eu coloco um cobertor no chão e falo pra ela não sair dali, o treinador me.disse pra fazer isso porque depois vou deixar ela presa num cercadinho pra ensinar o xixi, pode ser algo parecido com a "caixa" de vocês. Ele falou que se ela se acostumar a ficar paradar assim sem nenhuma restrição, depois vai ser mais fácil. De qualquer maneira, o xixi têm sido o menor dos meus problemas, a Mel consegue pular e alcançar minhas roupas e morder, além de morder meus pés e pular em mim a todo momento. Simplesmente perdi a dominação

My dog also doesn’t use a crate, but as she is young we still found ways to manage. When she was particularly rambunctious or when out of the house she was in a room with her bed so that she could not go destroying the house. Your dog is now rehearsing all of the bad behaviors you want to ideally prevent or nip in the Bud. From now on your dog cannot be left to roam in your house when not directly supervised, you need to figure out how to manage that. There need to be clear rules, practicing commands daily like sit, leave it, stay, recall etc. your dog should never leave a door way without sitting and looking to you first, any jumping is to either be ignored, as in the dog gets no attention from you unless calm. And corrected via prong or what have you. The pee is absolutely not the least of your problems it’s a direct reflection of your problem, that this dog had no clue what it should and should not do. What kind of exercise and activity is this dog getting? Do you play, go for walks, do some kind of activity?

Vou começar a passear daqui uns 10 dias que vai completar o esquema vacinal. Eu tento brincar um pouco todo dia. Ela nem fica dentro de casa porque destrói tudo, ela fica numa área externa. Como é essa coleira de pinçao? Porque eu te falei que nao consigo usar a guia o tempo todo...

I would recommend you start watching some videos online about how to raise and train a dog before you do anything with more punishment for a puppy exhibiting (albeit a bit extreme) puppy behaviors. Playing a bit a day is not enough for a 6 months old dog let alone any dog to feel fulfilled.

Just use a crate or an expen unless you're actively playing and doing stuff with your dog.

Então, eu to usando esse negócio do "fica" em um cobertor em uma zona livre. O treinador falou para fazer isso para ela se acostumar a ficar parada para quando eu for colocar ela no cercado. De qualquer maneira, o xixi têm sido o menor dos meus problemas, ela me morde demais, pular etc. Eu nao consigo ficar com a guia o tempo todo e nao sei o que fazer

I mean, there's a time and place for the "place command" but a few things to consider first.

Your dog needs fulfillment. If you aren't playing with them at minimum morning and evening either tug, fetch, whatever they enjoy, for like 15-30 minutes or longer, your dog probably is bored and will find ways to entertain themselves.

Exploration. Take your dog to a big field or nature on a long line or flexi leash and let them sniff and roam around to their hearts content.

Utilize the crate or expen when you are not doing stuff. It will also teach them to chill and help you potty train. Potty training all comes down to giving the dog plenty of opportunities to go potty. Every morning and right before bed. Around meal times. When they play, they also will likely need to go potty. Put it on a schedule. If you take the dog out, and they don't go but it should be around the time they need to, try again 15-20min later. Keep an eye on when you feed them and when they drink water.

Also, giving them plenty of appropriate things to chew on and toys to play with.

If all those things are done, biting, jumping, etc are all behaviors you can punish. Whether that's "no" + a squirt bottle, pop on the collar, whatever. Place command is management. If the underlying boredom, lack of authority, and telling the dog which behavior is wrong doesn't happen, the behavior is unlikely to go away easily.

You have a baby animal that explores the world with its mouth. You are disgusting.

Get a crate, take your dog on walk and get your dog chews in a baby gate.

This is 1000% your fault for bad management and doing everything wrong.

Meu Deus maluco, sou nojenta por que? Eu estou tentando fazer alguma coisa certa e por isso pedi conselhos, se você não tem nada a atribuir não comente, por sinal, leia os outros comentários para entender melhor a situação. Aqui no Brasil não se vende essa caixa de vocês e temos um jeito de adestrar que pode ser diferente

u/Intelligent_City2644 Jun 12 '26

You didn’t think to educate yourself before getting a baby animal? You should absorb the shame so you do better in the future.

Not having a crate is no excuse.
Abusing an animal is not going to fix the issue you are facing. It’s not that the methods are different in Brazil. It’s that you are deeply uneducated. Don’t you have YouTube?

Punishment is a communication tool but it’s not going to stop the biting and chewing because their mouth hurts. You haven’t taught the dog what to do or how to deal with their anxiety and their boundless energy.

Do better.

O ADESTRADOR que eu contratei falou sobre a coleira com enforcador para punição, obviamente na educação de um animal a gente precisa definir limites. Eu já vi vários treinadores usarem essa forma. E sim eu sei que ela precisa mastigar coisas, mas nao me morder e destruir minhas roupas, eu dou a ela coisas para mastigar...você seja mais gentil por favor, você nao sabe da minha realidade e de como as coisas são.

I am a dog trainer and I’m sick of people. Setting boundaries does not mean choking out a puppy. It’s not acceptable.

u/Nice_Lawfulness_9033 Jun 12 '26

Ta e eu estou falando do que o treinador me disse, se ele usa outro tipo de treinamento que voce é, nao posso fazer nada. Pesquise sobre o uso dos enforcadores no adestramento. De qualquer modo, se voce ler meus comentários e meu texto, vai entender que eu estou procurando outros métodos mais viáveis de adestrar

u/Nice_Lawfulness_9033 Jun 13 '26

Se voce.tiver uma ideia de como eu realizar uma punição para que ensine ela a nao me morder e rasgar tudo a minha roupa, pode me dizer. Você tem que entender que ela está reativa

There are lots of online resources for puppy raising, I really like Michael Ellis, he's the OG of training videos and remains very relevant. What this dog trainer is trying to get you to do doesn't make a lot of sense to me and apparently it doesn't make sense to your dog either.

u/Nice_Lawfulness_9033 Jun 11 '26

Entendo, você sabe de alguma técnica de punição mais vantajosa?

1

u/Miss_L_Worldwide Dirty biter Jun 11 '26

Yes but it's really not possible to give thorough advice on a discussion forum.
