Cinderblocks? I need to raise everything in my house up about 3 Ft with the highest priorities being the living room and dining room.

TIA

just keep smacking their hand and holler "NO"
Try smacking them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper

Or a spray bottle of water. Just a couple spritzes while saying "Bad kitty"

Just started crawling yesterday

Princess is 6 months old and female... "No" doesn't mean much and probably never will Seeing as how she pants like a dog, maybe the newspaper will work better

That was her mother... And the spray bottle didn't work

I got my boy some of the rawhide chew toys when he started teething Kept the little bugger from chewing on my belts. He knawed one of those 8 in. long ones enough to get the knot at the end to come loose.

Really? It always worked on my kids. A good shot in the head with a squirtgun got their attention every time.

I thought you were going to say you hit them in the head with the squirtgun itself!

Guess, I should've been more specific. I meant that as "using a spray bottle on her mom didn't do any good." I hadn't tried it with the Princess

I feel your pain. Our little one is creeping along the furniture....nothing is safe now. Thankfully she respects No! and is kind enough to even yell it back (as she continues whatever behavior she was to stop). I hear it gets much worse as they start moving freely and that the little buggers can run pretty darn fast.

What are you going to do when Princess learns to climb and jump?

They are pretty quick. But, then you get smart and tie their legs together. Leave enough slack between them so they can walk, but not so much that they can run.

You could always adhere them to the wall with industrial strength velcro, but then you have to hear them scream because they don't like the lack of mobility. Also, they're pretty hard to potty train when their butt is stuck to a wall 3 feet up. If I find a solution to those two problems when she gets to that age, I'll let y'all know for future refence

Not on my salary. I might be able to rig up something with the branches I pruned off the fruit trees though.
