[Ostory]

I use only positive motivation to train my dogs. Not because I am looking for a deeper bond, but because it is my experience that dogs learn quicker with little to no stress. Negative reinforcement is a good way to train dogs, but it does cause stress and and hampers the learning.

That is not to say that I don't administer some negative corrections from time to time, but these situations occure in day to day living, not in our training sessions. I rarely have to correct my dogs, but there are times in social evinorments that it has to happen.

The training itself for the sport is done without any negative corrections, other than if the dog doesn't prefrom the desired behavior, the dog doesn't recieve a possitive reinforcement.
