In relation to a question that I asked before on positive dog training…?
Can a positive dog trainer use adversives in training and still be considered a positive trainer?
Here is the link to the prior question if you are curious…http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsTTlyqJRclnXTiRf.cuETLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20101018175016AAQXhVK
I consider myself a positive trainer, because I actually take the time to *train* my dogs. I do not think it is fair to correct a dog who doesn’t understand explicitly what you are telling them to do.
I use treats/clicker training/luring, whatever you want to call it, to train my dogs the correct behavior. Once that behavior is attained reliably, I fade treats and add distractions, called proofing. If the dog dares to blow me off, it gets a correction.
So in short, in my opinion is yes.
