Yes we do use punishrs but not in the forms that would be concidered hands on. We tend to use removal of say the dog into a time out. Or loose of the chance at a reward. A no reward marker is then used and the dog gets to learn that that was an error to think again.
I do not concider my self new age either the way I train been around alot longer then many think and it just that the lay people are coming to terms with it and getting to know it really does work and it really is worth trying to use it in the right manner as when done right it works better then all other methods.
