My husband was Italian. I know what you mean. It becomes a part of you, and you don't even know you are yelling. I try not to yell at the dogs, but sometimes it just pops out. And believe me, a loud "hey" stops any kind of mis-behaving! And I have also heard trainers say to NEVER yell hey at your dogs. But we do, and it works. Clapping hands also works, and with the babies, a rolled up newspaper hitting yourself on the leg works wonders!! (I never hit the dogs, although I do threaten them occasionally LOL)
