reward only is not optimal method. Not by childern, not by dogs as well. The best way is "contrast method", means penalty-reward. This method is proof by time and many generations of our grandparents.

I prefer my dogs are doing what I want them to do because they know that something good comes out of it, not because they fear what is gonna happen if they don`t do it !

A happy worker is the best worker

Yes, but all in proper amount. And the penalty should be appropriate to the level of wrongdoing, otherwise the relationship between wolfdog and owner suffers.
