	Choosing a Dog Trainer - Humane Society of the United States Positive training enhances the bond between dog and owner, and helps ensure that your dog will respond happily to your instructions. The key word here is "positive." It's essential that the dog trainer you select uses humane training techniques that encourage appropriate behavior through such positive reinforcement as food, attention, play, or praise. Look for a trainer who ignores undesirable responses or withholds rewards until the dog behaves appropriately. Training techniques should never involve yelling, choking, shaking the scruff, tugging on the leash, alpha rolling (forcing the dog onto his back), or other actions that frighten or inflict pain.

Don't worry, at first, about getting rid of behavior you don't like. Instead, start with some good things you want the dog to learn to do.
