So have I. I never use violence towards my dogs. I have 2 perfectly trained dogs that walk next to me with no leash and do whatever the fuck i want them to. I have never once touched them in a negitive way.
I guess negitivity and fear can work but its much easier just to be the leader. Its alot more fulfilling for both you and your dog.
