Positive training is training that encourages the dog by reinforcing that it did something well (Get off the couch.......Good DOG!! Here's a treat!!) Negative training is training that punishes a dog for doing something bad. (BAD BAD DOG! Get off the Couch! I am going to hit you with a newspaper. SWAT) Dogs are people-pleasers. They respond quite well to positive reinforcement. They establish a good bond with their owners this way. Negative training can create an environment of fear..... NOT the relationship you want to have with your dog. Fear will make a dog try to avoid you, can lead to urination problems, and prevents a dog from learning well (it's hard to think when you're about to get hit!!) Most good trainers encourage firm, positive training. Always keep in mind that patience, environment, and rewards are very important factors, irrespective of how you chose to train your dog. These factors affect a lot and give you the extra edge in your Dog Training success.

Why does your dog not listen to you?
Dogs listen but need training to understand what you mean. It sounds like your dog (and you) might need some training, so try to enroll in a dog training class in your vicinity and read some library books on dog training. Try to find trainers and books that use a "positive approach" to dog training. While negative reinforcement seems to work quickly, over the long term a dog trained with negative reinforcement will be more prone to misbehave and also have emotional problems (that can result in other problems like inappropriate urination, etc.). Positive training takes a bit longer at first but has a much better long-term result--and the dog will be emotionally better off as well.

Are electronic dog collars useful for training Labradors?
At times these can be useful, like when training your dog not to bark when you are not at home to correct the behavior. However, I would train the dog using positive reinforcement before you try negative reinforcement. This means that you reward a dog when they do something correct with a treat and/or praise. When your dog does something bad you tell it no sternly. Depending on the severity you can put the dog in a "time out" in his crate, so they learn the lesson. Labradors are very smart though, and are food motivated. They should be easy to train using positive reinforcement.
Is a positive plus a negative make a positive or a negative?

You got a labrador he grew and he does not listen to you what do you do?
All dogs need to be TRAINED. Training is essential to any dog, and any dog--whether a puppy or very old--can be trained and will benefit from training. Seek out "positive training" in particular, since the results will be better in the long run. (Training techniques that rely on negative reinforcement or physical punishment are beguiling easy to fall into because the pay-off is quick, but over the long-term the dog's behavior and emotional state will be best if a positive method is used.) Seek out training classes where you live, or hire a certified dog trainer for a few hours each week to come to your house and teach you how to train your dog. Most importantly, set aside time every day to train your dog.
