You can try some positive conditioning as well - its not always about yelling and hitting. Especially, if the dog has a history of abuse. Also, get a clicker. It speeds up conditioning 2-3x. Lastly, theres no point in doing anything even 5 seconds after the fact. They wont associate anything you say or do with their "bad" act. Theres tons of good info out there.
