self control
yes, because it like hitting a human but instead in this situation you're hitting a dog!
To effectively teach your toddler to stop hitting your dog, you can try these steps: Explain to your toddler that hitting is not okay and can hurt the dog. Show your toddler how to pet the dog gently and praise them when they do so. Supervise interactions between your toddler and the dog to prevent hitting. Consistently redirect your toddler's behavior and provide positive reinforcement when they treat the dog kindly.
The best way to stop a puppy from biting is either: 1. give it something that the dog likes to bite and wait until the dog gets tired. 2. Tell the dog to stop, but say it like you mean it ( no shouting or hitting) look in the eye. 3. Or tap the nose and say no. If these help give the dog a treat and keep practicing until the dog will eventually stop biting. DO NOT PUT A MUSCLE ON OR ELSE!
