Maybe no one but me does this (?) but instead of hitting your fert why don't
you just give a good blow in the face?  Not a punch!  Actually blow in their
face real quick-like along with a good NO!  That's what I was told to do,
way back when I got my first fert.  I have never hit them because when they
do somthing bad, I just scruff them, blow in their face, and say NO!
 
Now I know there are people out there who will say "Oh no!  Don't blow in
their face!  It's bad for them!" But isn't that a heck of a lot better than
hitting them?  And you certainly shouldn't blow into their nose, just into
their face.  It's worked for all of my boys, and they learn quickly since
they don't like it.  But hey, I figured with all of the discussion about
discipline I would throw in my method.  I'm suprised no one else has
mentioned this....or have they and I just missed it....?
