A can of pennies is a common and effective way to help train your dog. This form of constructive discipline won't harm your dog, it simply distracts him long enough from performing unwanted behaviors for you do teach him what you want him to do.
Constructive discipline simply involves marking your dog's unwanted behavior with an audible correction.
- A shake can makes a loud sound, much like clapping your hands, which will stop your pup from barking excessively, eliminating indoors, jumping on people or gnawing on off-limits items.
- The sound won't scare your dog or otherwise harm him, but he won't like it and it will distract him from whatever unwanted behavior he is in the midst of.
- Reward him with a treat only when he isn't doing the behavior you've interrupted. For example, give him a series of treats when he's being quiet just after you shake the can, not when he's barking if you want to discourage excessive barking.
It is also effective for distracting cats from eating plant or other destructive behavior. It can even get your kids attention!
