What should I do if my dog disobeys me? Can I beat it?

The most common training method is to use newspapers. In order to let their dogs know to go to the newspaper to relieve themselves, some dog owners put some urine smell on the newspaper, thinking that the dog will go to the toilet there, but in fact, using newspapers with urine smell or Toilet paper methods to make dogs remember the location of the toilet almost always fail miserably, because dogs don't like to pee in places that smell like their own urine. Even if the surface of the newspaper and toilet paper has dried, leaving only a slight odor, the dog will rely on its sharp sense of smell to think that "this place is dirty" and will go to other places to excrete. So the correct way is to spread clean newspapers on the ground and let the dog excrete on it.
Dogs are naturally clean, so they will not excrete in their own dens , you must go somewhere other than the kennel, so the designated place for the dog to urinate and defecate should be far away from the den, but the condition is that the dog has a "den". Please note that the concepts of "home" and "den" are important to dogs. The dog's mind is different. If you let the dog move freely indoors, you are actually letting the dog have no fixed place in the house and lack its own private space. If the dog cannot tell which part is the den, toilet training will definitely fail.
If the dog urinates everywhere, you punish him. If you feel like you're holding his head and sniffing him, teaching him that he'll know he can't pee anywhere, you're wrong. In fact, the dog does not understand what the owner means. Your intimidation may have an effect for a while, but it only makes the dog afraid of being beaten and afraid to urinate, rather than thinking that excretion is wrong. The dog may understand, "If they urinate there, they will be scolded, although it is a bit scary, patience is enough." So after a while, they will pee and poop everywhere. The correct method is: when a dog is found urinating randomly at home, the dog should be taken to another room immediately and the urine should be washed silently to remove the odor. Guide him to the designated place to eliminate, rather than punishing the dog with violence.
