Low IQs in humans are primarily manifested by their impulse control problems. They get random idea in their head, whether its a thought or a desire, and it just jumps the line into them doing it before they even consider any of the broader effects.
If you give them a beating every time they stray, they'll learn. The problem is that these sorts of people are being indulged. Hate to bring this up, but the ancestors of American blacks were nice, obedient, polite, somewhat hard-working slaves, because the consequence of not being so was getting whipped. Obviously not saying that slavery should be brought back, only to make the point that this shows it cannot be a congenital problem with blacks.

No, they won't. This is where you are applying things that work on animals on dysfunctional humans.
They are literally lacking the brain functionality to think before they leap, its what makes them so problematic in every avenue of life. Impulse control lacking is one of the most defining traits of lowering IQs, and it gets lower the lower the number gets. They lack the ability to control impulses, the thing that jumps over the learned part of the brain. No matter how much you beat them, they will still often react to stimuli faster than their crippled brain can process the consequences. They might be able to stop before its too late in some cases, but that's more of "this is a long mistake" instead of a learned control.
Animal brains are complete, they are evolved and adapted to being an animal's brain and have all the necessary pieces to help them survive like that. Including learning on the level they can manage. Whereas we are talking about humans without fully capable brains. Multiple pieces existing expecting their balance elsewhere they won't be.
Sure you might be able to wrangle and condition some of the 80-90IQ folks into being somewhat capable with supervision, that's what slavery and a lot of blue collar workers historically showed. But the scale doesn't stop at 80, it keeps dropping and we have heavily incentivized the modern blacks to eugenically breed themselves lower.

They were also in much simpler environments more well suited to their capabilities. Their lives required very little thought and the ones who couldn't be buck broken were generally just killed instead of being put up with. This created a pretty decent selection bias for the most capable of the simpleton.
If you took one of them and dropped them into the modern world, with its wall to wall stressors, freedom and stimuli, they'd probably devolve rather quickly into a puddle of Id induced idiocy. Which is another major issue for the lower IQ among us, modern society and its trappings.
Because humans are pretty decent at adaptation, retarded or not. They are water that will find their level, or die, if given the chance. Unfortunately modern society has raised the minimum for "level" well beyond the capabilities of most lower IQ folks. You need money, and to follow rules, and not break the law, and all sorts of other things that seem easy to us but are mindbreaking to one of them.
Its why the Africans, despite being pretty retarded, still managed to survive this long and likely would have continued indefinitely had Europe not tried to uplift them. Never really improving, but still living.
