My parents made tons of mistakes, but the word shh being acknowledged as existing wasn't one of them.

People love to act like children are always so difficult they cannot be reasoned with, but shushing isn't actually trauma. And it works very often. Guess what, everywhere I go people have horribly behaved dogs while mine is an angel in comparison. Why? Because I didn't just let them do whatever whenever. I made small corrections consistently. And my dog seems quite happy. I'm sure you'll get all mad that I'm "comparing children and animals" but honestly you can see the same kinds of boundary testing and reactions from both so I think it's fair.
