Neither, I've personally formed my own opinions on training and have chosen to go with the more positive reinforcement training, with corrections only after a dog knows what's expected. I've gone to some of his workshops, and his methods and alpha rolls have done nothing for my dogs other than set back all training. However, he's made an in with a rescue group here, and they don't see that there are better ways to do things. I've pretty much given up trying to show them why or how, I even set up a training seminar with a positive reward based trainer here who knows much more than I do but they still think that what the other trainer is doing is just fine. This thread was just kind of as the title implied out of my own curiosity to see how other people have done things. I've personally seen how the relationship changes once you switch to using some sort of reward and I just don't get how it's not that obvious to other people.

Well, you know what they say: The only thing two dog trainers will agree on is that a third one is wrong.
It's hard for many people to embrace anything new or different. Scary to consider that what one has spent a lot of time and energy learning and doing may not be the only way.
