Try operant conditioning, ie giving positive feedback for the behavior you want to see and negative feedback for the behavior, neurosis, you don't.
It takes some understanding of negative feedback to see how it would work. It isn't just taking away something that is meaningful for bad behavior. It is creating an experience as a means of teaching the person/animal not to repeat the behavior--the positive reinforcement is not present or, what worked before does not work again.
"Reinforcers may be positive or negative. A positive reinforcer reinforces when it is presented; a negative reinforcer reinforces when it is withdrawn. Negative reinforcement is not punishment. Reinforcers always strengthen behavior; that is what "reinforced" means. Punishment is used to suppress behavior. It consists of removing a positive reinforcer or presenting a negative one. It often seems to operate by conditioning negative reinforcers. The punished person henceforth acts in ways which reduce the threat of punishment and which are incompatible with, and hence take the place of, the behavior punished."

B.F. Skinner believed that behavioral issues could be resolved through operant conditioning, where behavior is shaped through reinforcement and punishment. He proposed using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and using negative reinforcement to discourage unwanted behaviors. Skinner also emphasized the importance of environmental factors in shaping behavior.
