Wrong Jeiel. If that were how things worked people could have pet crocodiles without any trouble IRL. To train animal you must know and work with their instinct. Negative reinforcment is largely ineffective. Most of the time the animal doesn't known what it's being punished for. Clearly vocalizing your displeasure the moment they perform unwanted behavior works, but only if the animal cares whether or not your happy. Beyond that all the stick is going to do is make the animal frightened of the trainer or make it angry.
