Using Positive Training to Better Speak Your Dog's Language

The dog training method you use depends on how you choose to communicate with your dog. And, this is where trainers split camp. The two camps are positive trainers and correction trainers.

The only right thing would be for him to sit. If you were to use correction training, you would continue to punish him again and again until he did the right thing. If the dog does not understand, then he might give up trying out of fear before he ever gets to the right thing. With reward training he gets nothing until he does the right thing. This way he is not afraid to learn new things. ...
