What method do you use to train your dogs?

Positive Reinforcement (rewarding good behaviour)

or

Physical Correction (punishing bad behaviour)

Mostly Positive Reinforcement but he gets a stern no for things like leg humping (just hit puberty!) and trying to steel from tables. Also use words like "no bite" for lead and arm chewing (has a thing for sleeves and ankles)

We give ours lots and lots of praise when they get it right.

def being postive, even though we get through so many packets of treats cos whenever I say good girl to the pup Sandy comes running too and I feel guilty if she dont get a treat even though she hasn't done anything

but she gets a firm no just as often as she gets a treat.....still a chancer at the mo lol

Same here, positive reinforcement all the way!

Obviously we use the "no" command to stop them doing naughty things but they get rewarded for following the command so I consider that positive reinforcement also.

When I tell arch to stop doing something and he does I say "good boy" all happy and excited and he always looks at me and grins from ear to ear!
I know some people say that you should ignore bad behaviour, but what about when you dogs doing something danagours to itself or others.
Arch can be a terror for grapping at my trouser legs, if I say anything he would trip me up, like wise when we hadn't had him long my dad was sharping knives in the kitchen - he jumped at them! scared the hell out of us - he soon learned "no" and "off" though

same here,,, i also use a stern NO!!! when hes naughty,,,but i do mainly use treats and play time to train.
