learn dog training

My BF is right about dog training?
I recently got a Doberman puppy. He said he never slap you, do not use cash as a form of punish, not to use any of pincher or choke collar, never be aggressive with the dog, etc. .. He told me not try to train, because it'll make them possessive aggressive over time. He also said typical dog training course are really bad for the dog because most do not even know how to train a dog properly. I said it's best for the dog and praise it every time they behave. He told me if it does not behave or listen to use a firm voice. He told me that if it does not cry and always talk with him in her soft voice, the dog will learn to respond to your voice. Is that correct? He has four dogs and they all behave very well. But I've always heard from other people must be very firm with your dog and I often slap, choke or use pincher collar, put on hand to punish them, etc. ..
ok I have a Doberman and should not hit or hit your dog, any dog for that matter, but with Dobermans, because they are a dominant breed and are natural leaders, they become aggressive if they are coming. I box Mine Train, but you should never use the crate as punishment, because the whole purpose of a box is the create a den for the dog, a comfortable place for that when it deems as their hideout, suffer if placed in it for punishment and crate training then for the purposes of sphincter control or keep your dog to enter anything while you're at home goes out the window. I do not see a problem with people who use choke chains or pinch collars provided the trained person that knows how to use them, people will abuse a dog with them have nothing to put one on your dog. Anyway, so I mostly agree with what the B / F is saying. You may be afraid or shy when his Doberman fixed as it can be bossy and try to be dominant at home. good luck.
