It doesn’t help. It doesn’t work. It hurts your dog. And it hurts the bond of trust that you want to have with your dog. All our dogs destroy or ruin something at some point in time. But yelling at your dog isn’t going to make anything better. It’s likely to make your dog anxious and fearful of you, and more likely – not less – that they’ll tear up your socks to deal with that anxiety. Who the heck wants to come to a crazy woman yelling at you for not coming when you know that you’re in trouble when you get there? Answer: nobody. Including your dog. They absorb your angry energy and it only makes them nervous and more likely to do something else you don’t like.
