Yelling at Your Dog Can Have Long-Term Negative Effects, Study Shows .
An analysis says using
negative commands can result
in long-term stress for your pooch.
The study can be found
in the journal 'BioRxiv.'.
Besides stress, it adds that
a dog's cognitive abilities
can also be affected.
For the study, 92 dogs from training facilities
in Portugal were put into two groups.
One group was trained aggressively
and had choke collars used on them.
The other went through training in a docile manner
with rewards coming in the form of treats.
The three-year study saw the dogs
go through multiple stress tests.
In one, negatively-trained dogs approached
bowls of food slower than the others,
a sign of pessimism.

Dogs attending schools using aversive-based methods displayed more stress-related behaviors .., Researchers, via study.
It appears saying "Good Dog" may be
more important than previously thought
