There are various layer-2 features such as Loop Guard (sounds most  
relevant to this particular issue), Root Guard, BPDU Guard, and  
Spantree Portfast which are recommended BCPs for Cisco switches.  A  
quick search on cisco.com for those phrases should find the relevant  
docs; if you've difficulty locating them, ping me 1:1 and I'll go dig  
out the URLs.

I hope this helps!
