Take a soda can and put some coins in it and tape up the top.
When the dog does something you want them to stop doing immediately, shake the can. The noise of the coins in the can usually startles them (depending on the dog) and they will stop the undesired action. Sometime you can throw the can in their direction (do not hit them with it!). LOL Many dogs are bothered by the loud noises in the can and others (like mine) couldn't care less.
