«You naughty child» or «why can't you get it right» may seem
like mild correction, but to sensitive children, these words can be devastating.
I think there is a huge difference between using a verbal
correction (especially if it is followed with a positive thing
like praise or treats for ceasing the unwanted behavior) and other types of
mild adversives, and the types of training techniques a dominance trainer might use
like fear and intimidation (stare downs) and physical force (alpha roles and leash pops).
