[WARNING – may be disturbing to some] We are currently working on healing from past abuse. My pup likes to hit himself when he is frustrated with himself or feels like he is the cause of something.

I am implementing a “No Hitting” rule when he gets like that. He knows he is to give me his hands when he wants to hit himself, and if I’m not around and he does, he has to write lines and reflect on how his behavior affects his mental health and how he can avoid/correct this behavior in the future.
