A good short post about the use of different parts of learning theory and it's application in training. Yes - we strive to generally use positive reinforcement in training, especially to build new behaviours. However, negative punishment is acceptable in some circumstances.
I strongly believe that positive punishment should only be used as a last resort by a qualified behaviourist and negative reinforcement is pretty difficult to achieve without damaging a relationship.
