Daily Doings at the Line of Death Bar & Grill

Difficult to respond to a post with replies are not turned on. We use a combination... for mere annoyances, we try redirection and talking to... for potentially dangerous or obnoxious repeat offenses, the body part that is doing the action gets stuck (ONLY WITH OUR HANDS so we KNOW the force applied) with varying degrees of force depending upon severity. For example, a few years ago, daughter was kicking at a mother dog with pups... foot got smacked rather hard. Would rather she hurt her memorably but briefly than have her attacked and injured. Hands are most frequently struck body part as they try to put liquid on electronics (better memorable but brief pain than elecrocution), or (much lighter) as they reach for phone buttons or keyboard in use (begins as light tap and grows slightly firmer each time per session till she gets the idea) and all strikes are accompanied with verbal corrections and explainings. Hope that helps. I would say that repeat offenses involving potentially disease-inducing cat litter would qualify as striking offense in my book. But, as with everything, your milage may vary (or your wife's).
