Discipline for misbehaving pets should always be done kindly but firmly.Start with positive reinforcement, such as praise or treats, for desired behaviors and then firmly correct any unwanted behavior. This may include making your pet ‘do the right thing’ several times so that it learns what you want. Other forms of disciplinary methods could involve time-outs (keeping your pet in a crate or separate room until it calms down), removing privileges (taking away access to bed or favorite toy) and physical discipline used sparingly, such as rubbing a pets’ muzzle with cotton balls to remind them of the desired behavior.

The best way to discipline a misbehaving pet is to employ a positive reinforcement approach. Start by speaking calmly and firmly, then praise your pet when they behave properly and offer reward for desired behavior. This can help show the pet that you are proud of them for following commands, rather than using punishment which can create an atmosphere of fear or stress.
