How is behavior acquired through training?
Generally there would have to be some kind of reward or incentive for training to result in behavior changes. There are countless possible rewards or incentives depending on the behavior and the species of the critter being trained. Some people might be motivated by salary, or by the outward benefits of exercising or dieting. Animals would be rewarded with food if used correctly. The above situations deal with positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement can also be effective for training. Negative reinforcement is NOT, I repeat NOT punishment. Any reinforcer is a thing that makes a behavior MORE likely to happen; punishment does not do that. A rat in a lever box may experience a slight but definitely unpleasant electric current running through the floor of the box. When the rat performs the target behavior, the shock is turned off. THAT is negative reinforcement.

If a husband finishes organizing the garage, he won't have to listen to his wife's nagging)It's important to note that both kinds of reinforcers strengthen the behavior.
