Dog Training: Koehler Method vs. Treats/Clicker Method?

Question by Mustang: Dog Training: Koehler Method vs. Treats/Clicker Method?
Which do you think is more effective? I think the Koehler Method is far more effective than the Treats/Clicker “Positive Reinforcement” Method. IMO, dogs need to know how to be submissive, and needs to know consequences for bad behavior, but not abuse, just proper corrections. And of course lots of petting and praise for good behavior.

IMO, the whole new age “politically correct” treats/clicker training is not nearly as effective.

Opinions?

use positive reinforcement its far less traumatizing to the dog and most dog trainers that are good enough to get on tv use it

I think you have some misconceptions about clicker training.

I use Positive Reinforcement and Negative Punishment.

I do NILIF. (pretty darn strict in fact)

I feel there is too much potential for fallout with Positive Punishment.

Too funny, thumbs down, ha. Thank god this question wasn’t about which method you prefer, ooh wait…

Well I’m off to do a squishy gooey training session, also, drink the cool aide. Come to the other side, mwhahaha.
