ORIGINAL: hangemhigh1953 If all you want is to modify Your subs' behavior to Your liking, it would be much faster to give them something pleasurable when they do something right, or to a lesser extent reduce their discomfort by unshackling them or something, than to use punishment. In horse training you remove the unpleasant sensation the moment they do it right. For example, if I want a horse to turn his body to the right, I press into his left side with my knee applying pressure. The moment he begins to turn, I release the pressure. If he starts moving back to the left, I reapply the pressure with my knee. If he continues going to the right, he receives no more pressure. At the end of the lesson, when I think he's getting it, I then pat his neck, tell him "good boy" and give him a peppermint. Negative and positive reinforcement with no punishment. Punishment would be beating him with a crop and having him be afraid of me in the future.
