It depends on what you are trying to achieve with your training and your dog's individual personality. Generally, positive reinforcement is seen as the most effective way to train dogs and create a strong bond between the animal and its owner. Research has shown that positive reinforcement will result in better long-term results, as it creates a positive learning environment which helps to keep the dog motivated. However, in certain circumstances, such as when dealing with undesired behaviors, negative reinforcement may be necessary in order to teach the dog the desired behavior. Ultimately, it is important to think about what works best for your individual dog and their learning style.
