The main problem with using fear and pain based approaches is that you are not addressing the root cause of the behavior you are looking to change.  You just looking to suppress it by choking the dog or shocking them or you know giving them some sort of aversive. Any Ph.D. and behavioral will agree you can change behavior with aversive training but what’s left in its place? And the problem with using fear and pain based approaches is that dogs generalize fear better than anything. So if they are afraid of your hand then they are going to afraid of all other hands coming towards them and if your dog has an overly generalized sense of fear because it had been shocked or choked or they have been trained with aversive methods, then they are going to have stress and they are more likely to bite. When dogs experience fear and pain they start to shut down and they are not learning, they are trying to survive that event.  If you remove fear and pain based approaches and you use positive reinforcement,  it doesn’t mean you are permissive, it doesn’t mean you let a dog do anything, but what it does do, it will help that dog trust you and trust other human beings.  You know considering that dog can land 25 bites in 4 seconds, why would want to risk that.  Why would you want to create a dog who is afraid of people or other dogs and may bite them? .
