How do you train a Dog a Stand-stay exercise using only Negative reinforcement?
A behavior/exercise should be taught using motivational methods such as a toy, praise, whatever works for the dog. Proofing does and always will require physical compulsion regardless of what people tell you here. Hope I helped! ADD: Prongs and E collars when used effectively are the best tools to train/motivate/proof dogs. I am tired of all the “experts” in here talking about things they do not understand. Compulsion is mandatory to proof dogs, all dogs and I still want to hear from someone that knows different! ADD: Instead of handing out TD because of ignorance, why not try to explain to me your theories and training methods for proofing a dog….I am still waiting!!!
