Positive vs Negative Reinforcement in Dog Training. Positive Reinforcement comes in many forms and can be used in many ways. It is often used along with reward based training methods.

These adverse methods can include: Hitting, yelling, using shock and prong collars, and dominating the dog in any physical way. These tools are often viewed as cruel, inhumane, and unnecessary. Both methods are effective and seemingly produce the same effect, an obedient dog. Look closer however, they actually produce two very different types of dogs.
