What is Obedience Training?
Obedience training usually refers to the training of a dog and the term is most commonly used in that context. Obedience training ranges from very basic training, such as teaching the dog to reliably respond to basic commands such as “sit”, “down”, “come”, and “stay”, to high level competition within clubs such as the American Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club, where additional commands, accuracy and performance are scored and judged. -Wiki Obedience Training

What is Positive Reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement training means giving your dog something pleasant and rewarding immediately after it does something you want it to do. The rewarding element can be a treat or simply praising your dog making it more likely that your dog will repeat the behavior. It is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior.
What is House Training?
Housetraining is focused on preventing “accidents” rather than waiting for accidents to happen. House Training in this way is faster and more effective than punishing the dog for mistakes. It uses positive reinforcement methods of training rather than punishment methods. You must be patient, determined and reliable for it to work.
What is a Pinch Collar?
This is a non-electric collar used in training dogs. The way the pinch collar works is by pinching the skin around the dog’s neck. It is used to simulate the bite another dog would give to assert its dominance. You must remember that when using any type of dog training pinch collar the tightening should only be brief. It should be used only immediately after the problem behavior is observed. It is an effective method when used properly; however, it can harm your pet if abused. Those with little patience should avoid using this method.
What is Punishment Training?
Punishment is a controversial subject in dog training. Typical punishment training are: a pinch from the prong collar, an unpleasant and perhaps painful sensation when the choke chain closes, the “No” command, water squirts on the dog’s face, loud sounds produced by objects thrown near the dog, electric shocks produced by electric collars and electric fences.
