"Positive Training" has become a catch-phrase for just about any training in which treats are used. This can include correction-based methods in which rewards are simply add-ons to an otherwise highly punitive approach. Although we do not oppose correcting undesired behavior on occasion, we prefer a balanced, relationship-based training approach that teaches dogs the behaviors we desire and sets them, and their owners, up to succeed.
