re: How do you discipline your dog

I've got a 50 lb mutt that I discipline many ways.

If she jumps on someone I/they smack her on the nose.
She hasn't snapped at anyone in 14 months that I've had her but if it happened I slam her mouth shut and pinch her ear.

Always have done this with bigger dogs and they turned out great.

I think the main thing is dont beat them to where it causes physical damage. Just pop with newspaper or something that gets your point across.

Also tone of voice goes a long way. If I tell my dog NO! In a deep tone she immediately lowers her ears and lays at my feet.
