A good firm voice does the job, then ignore them for awhile, then let it go dogs have no sence of time, they develope habits.

Say "bad dog" and withhold affection for 30 minutes or an hour.

it all depends on what the bad things hes doing are...if u could give us his bad habits,im sure well be much more helpful
