It is important to remain calm and avoid raising your voice or becoming physical with the animal. A good way to discipline an animal that has gotten out of control is to remove it from the situation and provide a timeout. During the timeout, you can use calming techniques such as gentle discipline, distraction, or positive reinforcement to try and redirect their behavior.

One of the most humane ways to discipline an animal that has gotten out of control is through positive reinforcement. This involves rewarding behaviors you want to encourage with treats or praise, rather than punishing those you don't. If a behavior is unwanted, redirect the animal toward a better alternative and reward when they comply. In some cases, it may also be necessary to physically restrain the animal until they calibrate with their boundaries.
Another important aspect in disciplining an animal without causing any harm is consistency; all members of the household must be on the same page regarding expectations of behavior and follow through with consequences when needed.
