Great suggestion! This is what I do and Britney and Brooklyn (even Gloria, the cat) know what the spray bottle means.

Buy several so you don't have to search for one when you need it.

Iam a clapper

thats all it takes, a fim mommy said NO and a clap

never ever yell, my joey is so frightened by loud noises, i didnt get him untill after the damage was done, he is very sensitive

So glad i got him out of that place

i clap too...pennies in the can and spray bottle doesnt work..i think he likes the water on his face...weird lol

BUT, Im still struggling with the barking. Sometimes he will respond when I say "no bark" other times he ignores me..the little stinker

Clapping, spray bottle and change in a can

I just say "No" in a very stern voice and correct the behavior at the same time (if she grabs something she shouldn't have take it away saying "no") they figure out really fast what "no" means. Bell seemed to "get it" right away and as soon as I say "no" now she stops immediately.

We didn't even bother with clapping or change in a can because our house is ALWAYS loud (we have 2 cats, 3 kids & 5 dogs) but the spray bottle has done wonders...I made sure to say no in a firm voice as I was spraying, now we have empty water bottles all over the house because they don't even have to be filled anymore!!

Something I read about that I'm going to try is saying something like "aaah" to get their attention and then correcting them verbally (i.e "No, no biting") then redirect their attention to something good (in this example, a chewtoy) and then positively rewarding their behaviour.

Those of you who use clapping to get their attention, do your babies become afraid of you or your hands from clapping at them or do they realize that you're just doing it to get their attention and they don't get skittish?

Thanks!
