Did you read the other training thread in Ask a Master? "Training" as a concept seems to get people's hackles up. So your question my get lost in regurges of what people said over in that thread.
If you're trying to teach someone something, you'd be wise to pick a method that will be useful for the student. If you're asking people to share kinky sex "training" stories (like your ATM comment to Aileen suggests), then this is likely to be seen as a wank fodder post. Okies?
So what are you really asking?
When I was, say, learning to make my former's bed, he had all these little quirks and details about it. A helpful way for me to learn was a hands-on method, that workeed the process into muscle memory. Then, if I forgot something, i'd "feel weird" and back track to fix it. He explained by doing it with me the first time, then letting me do it while he talked through the steps, and then letting me do it on my own. He understood that process thinngs like that stick the best for me with hands-on learning.
When it came to correcting my tendency towards self-deprecating statements, that came with consistent reinforcement of the rule, and the "punishment" of the disappointment of letting a bad habit get inn the way of making him happy. He expressed how much he hated to hear it, so I was mindful, and broke the habit.
Teaching and correcting work the best when a teacher is consistent, and really understands the best way to affect real learning in the student. Everyone learns differently, so it's impotant to not be too attached to one particular method if it doesn't work.
