Pos reinforcement/lots of treats/maybe clicker training/ is focusing only on what you want them to do and rewarding the behavior you want. Ignore what you don't want.
Negative reinforcement involves much more controlling/punishing - it used to be the only way. I've read some horrible way trainers used to teach dogs not to do something.
Sort of like the difference between "breaking" a horse and the horse whisperer concept, if you're familiar with that.
Hope this helps!
