Even better - it becomes the two stick method!
The carrot and stick method is based around reward(the carrot) & punishment (the stick). When the subject does what you want it to, you reward it; when it does something you donât want it to, you punish it. Itâs supposed to combine the two primary methods of training to theoretically be at least twice as effective as using only one of the methods alone.

Yes, yes, BUT, bear with me here, what if you punish it for the first option - & double punish it for taking the other?!
Especially since most fluffies would find the idea of choosing the lesser evil confusing in & of itself 
If you punish it for doing what you want and what you donât want it to, then even something as stupid and naive as a Fluffy will just do whatever it wants regardless since itâll get punished either way; itâs part of the reason why Fluffies whose owner gives them treats regardless of what they do usually become Smarties.
The carrot and stick method is meant to train them to behave how you want; what youâre describing isnât punishing, itâs simply hurting the idiot.
If you want to simply abuse them, go ahead; but donât mistake abuse for disciplining a misbehaving fluffy. They may look alike but the intended goals are completely different.
You are really not the âWhistle While You Workâ type, are you 
Yes in this house when donât tolerate fear of pasta
What âs that got to do with it? There were no fluffies in Snow White, IIRC.

Relative negative reinforcement can be also be fun, actually.
Not so much for the fluff, perhaps.
