What can I do to discipline my rabbit when she does something wrong?

Yell, ';NO (name here)!'; Every time she does something wrong. Not enough to scare her, but enough to get her attention. Rabbits are intellegent animals that can learn to associate the yelling with the no-treat giving. Give her a treat every time she does good things, and don't when she does bad things. Never hit or slap a rabbit; this will make them fear you.What can I do to discipline my rabbit when she does something wrong?
Discipline isn't really an option with rabbits. They aren't like dogs, where they have an instinct driving them to ';please'; their pack leader. Rabbits are prey animals, and therefore their instincts are focused on reproduction and survival.


Instead of disciplining your rabbit, you simply need to prevent the bad behaviour in the first place by not giving the rabbit the opportunity to do the wrong thing. If it does do the wrong thing, you have obviously failed, and need to rethink your tactics. Rabbits can be trained to a limited extent to perform certain behaviours, but only at the promise of a treat. Punishment will lead to an aggressive and fearful animal which makes a poor pet. Physical punishment is disastrous for a rabbit and can easily lead to the animal going into shock and dropping dead. A loud noise can be a good deterrent to distract the rabbit from doing something, but your next action must then be to prevent the action from happening again by making it impossible for the rabbit to do that action.


Good luck with your rabbit, I hope I've helped.What can I do to discipline my rabbit when she does something wrong?
