I use different methods for all my dogs.

For Kai, his biggest motivation is food but it's still not enough to get the correct response 100% from him. I give him treats randomly, always verbally and physically praise him, and give corrections when he doesn't obey. Verbal corrections usually do the job, but now and then I do give corrections with the leash if he is choosing to ignore my verbal corrections.

With Kaedyn, food isn't a huge motivator so it's just praise and corrections for him. Verbal corrections don't register for him so corrections are given with the leash/collar. I only correct him for obedience work. He has fear aggression. I never correct him for that.. it's praise and desensitization.

With Keeva, she doesn't seem to know she has the option of not obeying. She obeys immediately and waits eagerly for her praise. She does like food but enjoys physical/verbal praise more. Should she choose not to obey in the future, I don't think I'd correct her. I think no attention would do far more for her.
