Also, I know Mogli never liked hot sauce (tobasco, etc). If I just had it on my finger he'd make a face something awful. If your babies react to something non-harmful like this, you could put some on or near the garbage. I think there's commercial products like no-chew type stuff with a similar effect.

They need a firm, completely deterring thing to be associated with the garbage so they can build that mental connection and live by it.
Prissy will be 2 on the 27th of this month. We have tried to correct her many times, we put her in time out when we actually see her do this, but I really don't think she is that receptive, she knows what she does even hours after we get home and she will be on her bed acting like she never done anything and always on the RIGHT side of her gate,, we just look at her and say "Prissy what have you done" and she will look away from us and turn so her back is facing us....( just like my kids some times hahaha). Any way thank you so much for the advice, we will definetly give this a try.
I also have "misplaced" another question but in the pictures forum, I would like someone to check that question out and let me know what the deal is with swifer sweepers. Thank you so much
