The dog training professionals agree that the best way (and certainly the most humane) to do dog obedience training is through the use of positive reinforcement training. This phrase refers to the use of positive reinforcement - rewarding good behavior and ignoring unwanted behavior.
This method stands in stark contrast to outmoded dog training methods which included inhumane measures. Trying to force your dog to change behavior under intimidation or pain is not longer a method to train your dog.
Dog obedience training with positive reinforcement works very well with dogs. Remember that your dog has a natural inclination to try to please you - which makes positive reinforcement effective.
