Just use a very big stick to beat her with. It may not cure her potty mouth but you'll get tremendous pleasure from doing it.

Wanting to kill an animal...for 'fun'? Sounds absolutely desperate.

I've used HRMs for close to 10 years now. I don't think they really motivate you, but they do give you a more accurate picture of how your training session has gone.
