Daughter keeps hitting the pets


My daughter is going to be 2 in October. She is already extremely well mannered. Everything is "please" and "thank you". She's a very sweet and healthy child. However, for some reason, she will not stop smacking or kicking the house pets (2 cats and 1 dog) Neither my wife nor I hit or kick or abuse the animals ever so I don't know where she picked up this behavior from. She understands verbal reprimands "no" "stop" "bad" and positive reinforcement phrases "we have to be nice to the animals" "nice and soft" then she'll pet them and be very nice. She still will hit them with either whatever toy she's carrying or kick them multiple times a day. She even announces, "kick!" While kicking one of them. Any one have any similar situations/have some advice for us? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2iJZLMl
