When you say negative punishment you probably mean positive punishment (applying an aversive stimulus in order to reduce a target behavior). Hitting or saying "no" are examples of positive punishment.

Negative punishment is removing a positive stimulus in order to reduce a target behavior. A good example of negative punishment would be to turn away/ignore the dog (remove attention) when it tries to jump up on you.
