What Happens If You Beat a Dog Until It Snaps?

Beating a dog until it snaps can get you bitten; even the gentlest dog will grow wary, distant and fearful after repeated beatings, and some may turn against you, urinating indoors or chewing furniture in revenge.

Its personality becomes sullen and sensitive, and one day it may bite or run away when hit again. Do not always punish; train with balanced rewards and corrections, or send it to a professional trainer.
