We teach eye contact, verbal cues and with hand signals. I hate the P word (punish !) I like: correct, redirect, teach and train. Dogs (people too ) repeat behavior that gives them a reward. That reward does not have to be food, dogs love praise, affection and being with us. To correct or redirect an action we use the cue words, Enough, No, Stop It we also use a Atttt sound or a hiss sound. You should use a cue that feels natural to you. Yelling is not necessary, a firm calm voice works best.
