Re: pure positive training - does it work??

I love positive reenforcement training, but I don't believe that any training that doesn't include a correction of some sort will be successful. Just as I don't believe that a yank and yell negative reenforcement training will work either.
This class sounds a bit too touchy-feely, warm and fuzzy.
I use ah-ah for my sound, and yes my dog has been popped on collar a few times.
My trainer says the "least amount of force necessary to do the job". And I agree with her.
