sorry i have two rotties and have never needed to be physical with either of them.
Also this post was aimed at why positive works and why punishment doesnt. Not only that but it was with my classes in mind, which are for training purposes, not behavioural issues, aversives, no matter what the reason have NO place in my classes

  • positive reinforcement allows the dog to gain confidence as they learn - bit like a game of hot and cold, you are telling them evry time they get 'hotter' and not just 'cold, cold, cold' Get it?
  • Punishing the dog for the wrong thing isnt actually telling the dog what you want from them, this is where reward based training helps dogs to understand quicker and more safely what it is thats expected of them, rewarding the dog the moment they get it right helps them to retain that information, making their training more reliable in the longer term



No idea if thats any good, but written by Joe Bloggs!

Firstly I agree with + treatments and I may use some wrong terminology here.
Negative punishments are the e collar/stick/rubbing noses.

there are still punishments available when training.
Voice/No
Taking something away is the punishment.
Turn your back/ignore.
Put the toy away , stop the game.

Not sure of the term possibly positive punishments.

In pure training terms these would be called negative punishments - positive punishment is the rubbing noses in it type thing (well not really - its just cruel and confusing to the dog but you know what I mean)

basically positive means add something - treat, praise, smack
negative means take something away - attention, removing toy - or in horrible training to take the pain away

reward - something that will make them do it afain
Punishment - something that will make them try and not do it again

so taking your attention away to stop them doing something is positive punishment

Many positive trainers will use positive reward and some negative punishment
(although I try and keep away from punishment wherever I can, sometimes a bit of ignoring is needed with a crazy puppy)


negative trainers will mainly use positive punishment - shocking, hitting, lease jerking, yelling
and negative reward - prongs stop jabbing in neck, shocks stop - and sometimes it can even be argued that if you are punishing the dog and you then stop punishing them to praise them then the praise is actually negative reward - they are just so happy to stop your yelling

I dont ever see the need for positive punishment
sometimes it happens, but I try and not use anything like that
