Is the way I mentioned negative? I'm still confused on this lol. I don't want to be mean to my dogs, I just want them to listen to me no matter what. I have tried a lot of things too. ( I'm not expert, so I can't really say anything for sure)

I know this guy has taken dogs who spent a life either being neglected, left outside all the time...whatever, the dogs I guess get really nasty and need to be put to sleep. He is able to train them into being very nice and friendly dogs. He shows them to me, and you can tell when a dog is really happy - his are. He told me about of his rotties who he couldn't even pat at first without her trying to bite him...maybe the method isn't the best? I don't know, but I do know it helps a lot of dogs. I also know he has trained dogs for many years, has studied behavior and many things.

actually, I found a website seeing I don't really know anything hahah XD

Is there such a thing as half and half? Like some negative, but also positive? I really want whats best for my dogs, and of course, I'm still learning. I'm not sure who I should look at when training seeing everyone has their own methods...
