Training Method: I utilize classical conditioning and operant conditioning and don't put stake in pack theory. Within operant training, I use positive reinforcement and negative punishment (and extinction). Which means I want to increase behaviors I want by rewarding them and decrease behaviors I don't want, by taking positive things away, (or ignoring them).
