Different actions and techniques are used to train for different things.

Training the subject to respond to voice commands and to react appropriately in various circumstances are often the objects of training. Subjects are trained to sit, stand, and adopt other poses on command. They are directed to fetch, service and do about any other thing a Dominant imagines. When the subject performs sub-standardly (slow, with attitude, incorrectly) they are often disciplined, verbally or physically or both. One would hope that this is a learning endeavor.

As for effects, as a Dom, I have specific goals in mind that the sub must attain (correct posture). I would let other subs address the internal changes inherent in their position.

This slave had to smile when she saw this post. She has experienced this firsthand. Mastrovenice is a creative, strict, and firm yet understanding and patient Master.

Obedience training began for this slave from the first moment W/we started O/our relationship. What obedience training has done for His slave is twofold; 1. she feels more submissive by learning what is expected of her, and 2. she realizes she brings Him even more pleasure by behaving/doing as He wants His slave to be/do.
