| Re: Does positive reinforcement ONLY training work???
While I am by no means an expert, I would have done exactly the same as you. While it's important to reward the dog's correct choices of desired behavior, I do believe it's also important to let the dog know it when he's exhibiting undesirable behavior. How can you expect the dog to look to you as his leader if you don't tell him to knock it off when he's pushing your buttons?
