I have good recall over my dog. I would say that when my dog is excited
in real danger she does not come back to me I would like to fix that.

Dogs are not robots. I doubt that I will be able to fix that.

I'd like him to not want to fight with every other dog he sees. I don't
think his previous owners socialised him at all. Every time I try to
introduce him to another dog, or another dog appears, he goes bonkers and it
takes all of my strength to hold him back from attacking them.

Hi Buzzsaw

Not a Thing to lose ...But a Lot To Gain!!

I can only speak from my experience.. I have a 8 month
old miniature poodle, and although I had done some basic
training with him we had a few barking issues ..ugh

I am happy to tell you, I contacted Jerry at the email
addy I posted and he was so great! I wasn't following
the technique precisely but he helped me get back on track.

Beau is doing sooooo well it is really a thrill working
with him, and seeing the remarkable changes.

Now I can ask for "recall" (come) both on and off lead
and it is immediate!

the first time I ask.

Best of Luck to you,

Remember if you need help or explanation contact Jerry ..
he will be more than happy to help anyway he can.

Hi Jerry,

When I talked to you on the phone to order to machine
for daughter's new pup, I told you that I had an older
Chessie. I rescued him at 9 years old and have had
him for 3 years.

It's funny, but I thought I'd try some of your book
training with him. Where I used to say "come" and
then say "good boy" when he obeyed, I have reversed
it with a "good boy" first.

It really does work.

He was very confused at first, wondering what he
had done to get the praise.

But it really gets the attention and distracts him from
whatever he may have going through his brain when
he hears it.

Well, he's been near mine, and done wonders for him.

You don't have to like him. You don't have

Thanks for this reply, Victoria.

I have lived with depression since I was 12 or 13 years old.

Grand generalizations like the one the poster made sometimes
cause a stupid "knee-jerk" reaction in me. I'm glad I read your
post before replying.

It would be really really nice if the world actually worked the way
that B4 thinks it should. But, I know it don't work that way for me :)

Oddly enough, I *used* to be against taking "happy pills" (as I used to
call Anti-Depressants....before I was educated about them). I thought
people were supposed to just "tough it out" and figure out what was
*causing* the depression. While I still believe in that last part, it
isn't *always* possible to do that without extra help.

I see nothing at all wrong with needing help and recieving it in order
to move forward in working through something like depression (or many
other issues as well).

Those who slavishly devote themselves to one type of
training and who condemn others are the poorer for it.

I clicker train. I use choke collars. I shape behaviors.
I use drive work for focus and intensity. I use pinch
collars. I use harnesses. I use food. I use positive
and negative punishment.

Some of these things I use frenquently. Some very
infrequently. I tend to focus my training in the
quadrants of positive reinforcement and negative
punishment, and am far more likely to eliminate
undesired behavior through ignoring it than any
other way.

I'll also grab my young dog by the collar, lift
her up on her back feet, and tell her to KNOCK
IT OFF in no uncertain terms when the little snot
gets into overdrive and bites me.

If you want to discuss training, discuss it here.

I hate to be in such agreement all the time, but am excited
about Coco the Rotti we have boarded here. Yes she made my
job easier (no poo to pick up) as at her home she eats poo
due to major anxiety and being punished with a stick for it.
She was living on it just about.

It was gross, and she is a beautiful dog

I decided to change this. It has taken 6 days for HER to
get an appetite and I PICK up poo now. We have yard kennels
here, so it's hard to catch every dog doing everything. I
took all the pressure off her. SHE is using a dog house,
not cowering at her gate. SHE is breaking the habit of body
blocking me so I cannot leave her area. SHE is now playing
like a normal doggie.

What did I do? Not much. Just ask as the other's are doing,
and be patient. Not making a big deal out of behavior she is
used to being punished for.

I can snap a finger now to distract her, and say "Coco
back good girl" I move into Hot and Cold on a bad day.
The owner just got done putting up a security door due
to her taking out the old one. The dog has quit blocking
me from getting in my door when out for play. My job is
getting easier, it's a pain to be rushed by a pack of
dogs all trying to come in.

Call the dogs puppets, they don't care!

So, thanks again for the advice.

I feel more confident now when I turn my back.

The sound distraction and praise method he uses is VERY effective,
I use those techniques on my dogs and the results are great. From
teaching a dog to recall to preventing unwanted behaviours (shit
eating, eating the cats food, growling when taking a bone from a
dog, jumping up, even escaping from the property, any behaviour).

To say sound distraction and praise methods don't work is pure
ignorance.

I can understand you not liking Jerry and being pissed off with
the posts he submits but please keep things in context and don't
slam a technique just because you can't stand the person suggesting
using it.

I've been having a problem with my dog, Axel,
relieving himself in the house while I'm away
from home.

I've used TPW method's, and yesterday I was out
for 12 hours, and Axel didn't have one single "accident".

Today, I had hoped that the results would be just as
good - and they were (I was out for 11 hours).

The problem began when, as a puppy, Axel would
relieve himself in the house and I would point
at the mess and tell him "NO" or "Bad Dog".

That made him afraid to relieve himself in the
house or infront of me.

After I got TPW's training manual, I corrected my
mishandling of these instances.

When I came home to an "accident", I would simply
drop a can near the area and ask Axel "What's that?"
Then I would clean it up - with out showing him I was
the least bit upset about the mess, and when he looked
at the spot I would tell him "Good boy, you're a good dog".

This has been an ongoing problem, and thanks to the
Puppy Wizard, we've finally got it taken care of...

Also, Axel LOVES the cat's litter box...He enjoys the
"snacks" he can find in there...I followed TPW's methods
by alternating sounds and praising him while or before
he sticks his nose in it, and today, he's been going into
the room with the cat box and barking. That's because
he's thinking about getting into the box, but he knows he
shouldn't.

Thank you, Jerry, for all you help.

You've been a blessing to all of us.

I'm not exactly sure why Jerry is saying to ignore me, it's his
advice that I found was the most successful. During walks in a
particular park the dogs would come across fresh cow pats and
munch away happily.

To stop this I'd set them up, I'd find a nice fresh cow turd and
stand next to it, when the dogs came over and saw it they would
start to munch, at the onset of this I'd chuck a throw chain near
the dog to distract it and praise straight away, the reason for
the praise is the dog stops eating as soon as it hears the distraction
so I'm praising that behaviour, the not eating.

I'd set them up again and repeat, but make the sound come from
a different direction, maybe the first time chuck the chain to
the right of the dog, the next time to the left, then behind etc,
it's the randomness that is effective and always sincerely praise
immediately.

Now when I walk through the park they leave the turds alone,
they aren't interested in them anymore due to the distraction
training. Don't let the dog know that you made the sound, the
sound just "occurs" this is important as it removes "you" out
of the problem.

WORDS "positive" an "negative" when we're talkin BEHAVIORISM?:

Subject: Proposed article for Wikipedia
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006

The Amazing Puppy Wizard is the cognomen
of a dog behaviorist, Jerry Howe, of Orlando, Fl.

Howe's primary teaching is that dogs deserve
unconditional love, respect, and attention and
that by providing these emotional needs dogs
will regulate their own behavior.

Howe is bombastically antagonistic to rewarders,
but he is aggressively hostile to punishers - he
refers antagonists to B.F. Skinner, Mary Cover
Jones, and J.B. Watson and especially to Samuel
A. Corson when they mistakenly annunciate behavioral
principles to support their use of punishment.

Punishment always deranges behavior, says Skinner,
Jones, Watson, Corson and Jerry Howe!

Howe developed a sonic device which calms dogs and
has been broadly tested in a wide range of different
situations.

The present author is a Who's Who recognized psychologist
who was asked to evaluate Howe's device by a former student.

Howe provided the author with a device, without
charge, and said device worked as reported.

George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D., F.R.S.H.
drv...@earthlink.net
Then cross reference to Jerry Howe, etc.

Jerry, the difficulty with these ignorant dog molesters
is that they cannot read. Negative reinforcement is no
response by the trainer.

There is positive reinforcement, an action which
is followed by an increase in the targetted behavior
(usually called "reward" which is precisely and
technically a misnomer), negative reinforcement
is the absence of any response.

Negative means 'No'.

Skinner's last book, "CUMULATIVE RECORD"
reviews this thoroughly.

http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/proj/nru/nr.html

Negative reinforcement is stopping an aversive reinforcement
according to this author. Readit, they have a sense of humor!

There are four forms of systematic reinforcement:

do nothing (negative reinforcement)

reward the behavior (positive reinforcement)

punish the behavior (aversive reinforcement)
after habituating the subject to punishment,
stop punishing (relief of aversion, which is
negative reinforcement).

Logically, failing to reward after habituating
a reward is also negative reinforcement.

Actually intermittent rewards work better than
consistent, invariable rewards, so there is
actually another two categories.

Invariable reinforcement and random
reinforcement (on varying schedules).

Punishment is AVERSIVE REINFORCEMENT.

Actions which cause the animal being trained
to avoid, avert, cringe away from.

Pavlovians always responded to American
psychologist's inability to reproduce Pavlov's
results with dogs with the comment, "American's
don't LOVE their dogs".

If you ever observed a Russian psychologist
working with a dog, you'd instantly see the
difference.

American psychologists were wooden,
robot-like, wanted to be "scientific".

This meant to them that they should display no
affection, or any other emotion with the subjects.

When a Pavlovian dog started to misbehave or fail
to respond, doggie was taken out of the equipment,
and taken home for a loving vacation, with much TLC.

Sam Corson, Pavlov's last student, demonstrated
the same relationships at Ohio State.

Interestingly the first page of results for Sam
Corson, dog behaviorist is loaded with Jerry
Howe quoting Dr. Von. heh heh heh

Dr. Von

Oh, by the way, you once had a pompous fellow
say that Dr. Von was a figment of your imagination.

I don't normally mention this, but I have been listed
in Who's Who in the S & SE USA since 1982, and
in the big books, Who's Who in the USA, WW in
the World, WW in Medicine etc, and WW in
Science and Technology, since that date.

These are the Marquis Publications, the "real"
WW, and you can't get yourself into them.

Subject: MacKenzie's First Pinch Collar Class

First of all, I was referencing a totally DIFFERENT
discussion/debate that we had participated in. One
that *I* thought contained little to no ill will at
all.

The one you seem to be re-experiencing here had nothing
to do with the debate on collar corrections, which is
what I referenced in this thread to Leah.

And I ONLY brought up that debate (and I meant it in a
light hearted manner) to point out to Leah just how
*wrong* she was about my stance on prong corrections.

That was NOT at all the same argument you are referring to.

We had a separate debate (one that never got weird at all,
IMO) that was simply about whether or not corrections could
or should be used on the prong.

The argument you are referring to was concerning the relative
damage that could be done by prongs as compared to GLs.

Different thread, different subject. Different time frame.

And no, I haven't referenced that one at all.

> First, you made a comment about how you and I had

No, as I said, that was an entirely *different* discussion
altogether. Didn't even happen at the same time.

I was being silly and dramatic about our "battle" (I was
trying to point out to Leah that I've even gone to battle
*for* the use of prong collar corrections - if done properly -
since she was dismissing out of hand my opinion under a very
misguided assumption on her part), but we DID have a lengthy
discussion (see above cuz I'm not about to rehash the rehash)
about the use of corrections with prong collars. THAT was the
discussion, the ONLY discussion, I was referring to.

No, it isn't Sarah. I was NOT referencing that thread that
*is* clearly still bothering you. The one you are referencing,

I am not at all aware of ever referencing once....ever. In fact,
I stopped reading it as I *was* getting annoyed. That way, it
stopped bothering me, and frankly I hadn't thought of it until
reading *this* post of yours.

So far, the only one who keeps referencing it is you. If it
does bother you, then I suggest that you *do* email me as this
seems to be bleeding out into inappropriate threads that frankly
have nothing to do with it.

It prevents any jerking or choking on their part.

I do crate my dogs - the big one only at the dog club and

He is learning to enjoy it and to use it as a place

I used binaca to quiet Kavik's in class

It would be quite difficult to binaca a dog that is in a crate.

I did hit him in the eye accidentally, and stopped using

This has been tossed around so many times over the years, but this is
perhaps the most common objection or support for what passes as a
purely positive method. I wonder if people would like to comment on
this specific issue, besides the rather grotesque matter of Paul willing
to taunt someone who just lost their dog.

There seem to my amateur eye two fundamental problems with the above:
(a) the incorrect characterization of "methods that use aids" and (b) the
WETM or other methods that "can train dogs without any aids".

In short, and without being comprehensive, (b) is incorrect, in that
the WETM does use aids (a can with pennies or other sound distraction
device) that provides an aversive (the sound) that is admittingly different
than a physical correction, but is nevertheless something added to the
training process.

Further, there are debates about whether your generalization of
better training with this method is in fact correct. Finally, many here
suggest distraction and praise techniques all over the place.

In addition, (a) covers a wide and various collection of techniques
that I believe you've incorrectly described and even more inaccurately
attributed to people here, demonstrating that you either haven't read
or deliberately mischaracterize how the various methods (from clicker
to NILIF to use of collars [and you left out flat colors]) are being
offered.

These have widely been discussed here. Maybe its not worth it to recap,
except to say that you've misrepresented what is offered by people here.

That everyone uses aids but Jerry does not, or that everyone abuses their
dogs or shocks/jurks/chokes their dogs but Jerry does not, is just a flat
out lie.

MINIMAL ABILITY TO WORK WITH BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS

"Postitive emotions arising in connection
with the perfection of a skill, irrespective
of its pragmatic significance at a given
moment, serve as the reinforcement. IOW,
emotions, not outside rewards, are what
reinforces any behavior," Ivan Pavlov.

Sam Corson, Pavlov's Last Student Demonstrated At UofOH,
That Rehabilitation Of Hyperactive Dogs Can Easily And
Readily Be Done Using TLC. Tender Loving Care Is At The
Root Of The Scientific Management Of Doggies.

"All animals learn best through play," Lorenz.

School, Used To Cure Delinquent Children Way Back
In The 1950's By Paying Them For Every Time They
Wet The Bed Or Broke A Pane Of Glass And Their
Behaviour Would Stop, - As If By MAGICK!

The Embry Study:
"While some may find it strange that reprimands
might increase the chances of a child going into
the street, the literature on the experimental analysis
of behavior is replete with examples of how "attention
to inappropriate behavior" increases the chances of
more inappropriate behavior.

Thus, suggestions to parents that they talk to or reason
with their children about dashing into the street will
likely to have the opposite impact.

Reprimands do not punish unsafe behavior; they reward it."

Source:

"Reducing the Risk of Pedestrian Accidents to
Preschoolers by Parent Training and Symbolic
Modeling for Children: An Experimental Analysis
in the Natural Environment. Research Report
Number 2 of the Safe-Playing Project."

"It is NO WONDER that the marked changes in
deviant behavior of children can be achieved
through brief, simple educative routines with
their mothers which modify the mother's social
behaviors shaping the child (Whaler, 1966). Some
clinics have reported ELIMINATION ofthe need for
child THERAPY through changing the clinical emphasis
from clinical to parental HANDLING of the child
(Szrynski 1965).

A large number of cases improved sufficiently after
preliminary contact with parents that NO treatment
of children was required, and almost ALL cases
SHOWE a remarkably shortened period for therapy.
Quite severe cases of anorexia nervosa have been
treated in own to five months by simply REPLACING
the parents temporarily with EFFUSIVELY LOVING
SUBSTITUTES (Groen, 1966)."

"The IMBECILITY of some of the claims for operant
technique simply take the breath away. Lovas et al
(1966) report a standard contingent reward/punishment
procedure developing imitative speech in two severly
disturbed non verbal schizophrenic boys. After twenty-
six days the boys are reported to have been learning
new words with alacrity. HOWEver, when REWARDS
were moved to a delayed contingency the behavoir and
learning immediately deteriorated.

Programs utilizing the "contingencies of reinforcement
model" proposed by Skinner (1963) are no more well
established in research than the various dynamic
therapists.

Research in four areas : 1) direct evaluation of
programmed systems for learning; 2) reinforcement;
3) cognitive dissonance; and 4) motivation, MOST
SURELY DEMOLISH the claims of operant programers."

My other dog (a 7year old staffordshire terrier-mix)

calling him a "bad dog"whenever he did something
i didn't want him to do, or it might be the age.

Sometimes it looks like Sam (the lab) WANTS

along the can filled with washers whenever we
go for a walk.

It is a very "humane" way of teaching: the
dog is allways a "good dog", and never a
"bad dog"

There is nu punishment or prong-collars involved.

For a fact i tought him to heel in 15min's without

he used to run towards it, but now i tought him to

A Miracle - WELCOME TO WITS' END DOG TRAINING!

The name of the method was right I was at my Wits End.
I had been working for 18 months!

Using the can sound three time he came, and still comes
from anywhere with the command-"comegoodboy" Next
I tried the can when walking him--when he saw a dog three
blocks away he went off-lunging and snapping-I used the
can sound and he looked at me like uhn?

I used it three more times and we got to the other dog-
-the looked at me wagging his tail--the other person
looked at me like why are shaking that can but just walked
on by.

When ever I try to explain about the sound people
look at me like "you must be out of your mind"

The results can make a believer!!!

Three weeks since beginning the Wits End Training
Manual program I walked him without the gentle leader
in a busy shopping area with many dogs.

He just seemed to not notice any one.

When people talked to him or ask his name he would
look at then and wag his tail and let then pet him.

I still can not believe the change in him--we can now
enjoy life out in public.

If I had not found the Wits End method I know there
was no hope for him and he would have hurt someone
Through all this he never growled at me, guarded his
toys or food or showed any sign of aggression with me.

The word come has no affect on him just the phrase-
-Sunshine come goodboy.

Hi Buzzsaw

Not a Thing to lose ...But a Lot To Gain!!

I can only speak from my experience.. I have a 8 month
old miniature poodle, and although I had done some basic
training with him we had a few barking issues ..ugh

I am happy to tell you, I contacted Jerry at the email
addy I posted and he was so great! I wasn't following
the technique precisely but he helped me get back on track.

Beau is doing sooooo well it is really a thrill working
with him, and seeing the remarkable changes.

Now I can ask for "recall" (come) both on and off lead
and it is immediate!

the first time I ask.

Best of Luck to you,

Remember if you need help or explanation contact Jerry ..
he will be more than happy to help anyway he can.

Cheers

Hi Jerry,

When I talked to you on the phone to order to machine
for daughter's new pup, I told you that I had an older
Chessie. I rescued him at 9 years old and have had him
for 3 years.

It's funny, but I thought I'd try some of your book training
with him.

Where I used to say "come" and then say "good boy"
when he obeyed, I have reversed it with a "good boy" first.
It really does work. He was very confused at first,
wondering what he had done to get the praise.
But it really gets the attention and distracts him from
whatever he may have going through his brain when
he hears it.

Dogs are funny, but people are too. Can't wait to get
the Doggy do Right, etc.

I'm not a trainer and my experience is limited to my

who had to deal with a puppy who had his own ideas
about what was and what wasn't "proper behavior", I
was very happy to find The Amazing Puppy Wizard's
dog training method.

It is a method that is gentle to the dog, very easy to apply
and it has been working wonderfully with both my dogs,
giving practically instant results. It was as if I had been
given the "key" to understanding and controlling my puppy's
behavior: suddenly, he was listening to me, doing what I was
asking him to do, instead of constantly opposing me.

It also worked with some issues my older dog had, too - her
fear of thunder, her barking and her aggression towards another
female dog.

Don't let either the first impression about the "weirdness" of
The Amazing Puppy Wizard, or the regulars' negative opinion
of him (there's a long history behind it) deter you from at least
reading the manual and deciding for yourself if you want to try
it or not.

I wish all the best to you and your dog.

Hey Everyone,

It's Nevyn here. Remember me? I hope so.

Well I see your all baggin on Jerry as usual.

Well... Why? His Methods are the best I have come
across. And I have visited 10's of trainers and
behavioural therapists.

His methods create a _COMPANION_ animal. A FRIEND.

His methods do not create slaves and dogs that are
trained in obedience only. OBIDIENCE TRAINING Does
not address Behavioural problems, people! Companionship
training DOES.

Why? Because the dog comes to rely on YOU as its mentor.

After meeting Jerry almost 24 months ago now, I
have decided to become a Trainer and Therpist myself.

I am doing some private training here and there. But
I do not take peoples dogs and do "dog programming"
like all you "professional" trainers. I observe the
dog and its'handler and TRAIN THE HANDLER
TO HANDLE CORRECTLY. Most dogs' only
need to see me three times and then they are well
on there way to being a perfect companion, ALL
USING JERRYS MANUAL.

All of you can scream Koehler all you like, or quote
Mike Dufort all you want. They are sadistic controlling
men who must have been abused some way as a child.

Indirectly or Directly it doesnt matter.

They use the dogs as an excuse and as a release,
causing pain and harm to innocent -- YES INNOCENT -
- Creatures who have done nothing wrong then simply
trying to learn what they are being taught.

HOW MANY DOGS U SPRAYED WITH BITTER

WHEN YOU DO IT?

"...then continue with your nomral behaviour"

YEP, IM SURE THE DOGS LOVE SEEING YOU
BEATING UP YOUR KIDS. COZ THATS THE
KINDA PERSON YOU COME ACROSS AS.

I am tired of posting to this list. All of you
Koehler wanna-bes out there only fight Jerry
because you will be put out of business.

It is sick.

You cause harm for money, then when you fail
and advise the owner to murder their dog.

If any of you remember my first post, I was asking
for help with controlling my two mongrel bitches
out in the street.

WELL THANKS TO JERRY I can now simply say "lets go
for a walk" and they line up at my feet, and we walk
around the neighbourhood, off the leash, past other
dogs, past people, past children and babies.

They stop and sit at every road until I say
it's ok to cross.

And Jerrys machine... hahahaha. You guys...
his machine is a god send. It stops barking and
destructive behaviour.

Jerry sent me one, FREE OF CHARGE, and I have
lent it to over 20 people and families. ALL HAVING
100% results! Compulsive barkers just watched
passerbys instead of viciously barking....

Whiners who wanted inside every waking moment
were happy to be outside... dont you get it?

IT WORKS. Don't fight progess people.

Koehler is old school. His methods are not valid
in this instance, or I should say, no longer valid
in this culture... this day and age.

If you have read the newsgroup posts then you must
already have a good idea about what I think.

His methods are the best I have come across. They
aren't a quick fix but an entire training concept so if
you aren't in for the long haul then don't bother. If
you go his way then you have to forget all the other
gibberish that other people spew, you have to believe
in what you are doing, then and only then will you get
the results.

You can't combine his methods with other training
methods, not until you understand what you are
trying to achieve, and even then I have only ever
combined about 2 other trainers ideas and even
then just a snip of what they suggest which works
in parallel with the Wits End concept.

His methods make you as the trainer completely
responsible for your actions, his methods make
you think and work out your own solutions for
any given situation, the default (the recall) is
always there to get things under control again.

His ideas and concepts teach you to work with
the dog, to develop a team and a willingness to
work together which is surely the best way to be.

His methods don't use force or intimidation but
they do totally emphasize the absolute importance
of pack (family pack) structure, without that you
can achieve almost nothing.

If you are wondering how a dog can be trained
without any negativity the answer lies in the recall,
anytime your dog doesn't follow through with a
request you call him / her to you, since the recall
is the first thing taught and it is taught in such a
way it becomes a reflex the dog always returns
to you, it is a subordinate position for the dog and
we release it by asking for a "heel" which is an
"equal" position.

His methods are very good, his understanding of
dogs is excellent, I recommend his methods.

I have tried his methods and found them extremely
effective. There are several areas in particular I
found useful.

He teaches you and the dog to pay attention to each
other all the time. He teaches you to have such good
communication with your dog you don't need leash
corrections or shock collars or even food, you can get
the dogs attention any time you like by calling it or with
a snap of your fingers.

When I trained both my dogs to "heel" or walk close
to me I ended up going to the parks and teaching
them without a lead at all, that ensured I had to use
good communication and was unable to be tempted
to use the lead to correct them.

Another part of the training I agree with is not using
the "policeman" approach, where you tell a dog "no"
or react with it in such a way that you become involved
in the behaviour (by trying to stop it), this approach
often results in a dog ceasing the behaviour when you
are about but doing it when you aren't (bin raiding,
counter surfing etc).

Basically you are taught to make your dog a good
friend who likes and wants to work for you for the
pleasure of working for you (setting the hierarchy
is included in this), teach it to recall reliably,
then to do everything else (sit, stay down etc etc).

Unwanted behaviours are addressed as they occur.
If you understand what you are trying to achieve and
are prepared to work with it you can get great results.

That's a matter of opinion, of course - an opinion that
I do not share and one that you cannot support with proof.

The fact that he doesn't post a link to the pictures of
his dogs doesn't prove that those dogs don't exist, much
less that they never have existed.

I don't think that he said that ALL the illnesses are
caused by mishandling or abuse, but that mishandling/
abuse did cause a great number of apparently unrelated
illnesses.

There's a vast literature supporting that - just look
at the variety of stress-induced disorders.

And yet, I can tell you from first hand experience that this
claim is justified (except the part about "sitting naked", for
which we have to take The Amazing Puppy Wizard's word)
in the case of two dogs who are living half the world away
from him - MY two dogs.

For instance, he told me exactly what to do when Bonnie was
barking with excitement as someone she loved was arriving,
and his advice worked... like magic!

Also, his advice about how to deal with her fear of thunder
was the ONLY thing that could calm her down.

Sometimes the truth does seem unbelievable, but it is still the truth.

Perhaps he can afford it. One thing is certain: his training
method is incredibly easy to apply. In certain respects, the
result is practically instant. Like with aggression, for example.

Or with separation anxiety.

Again, this has nothing to do with the fact that his method WORKS.

So he isn't "nice" (but, you know, neither the rest of you
are exactly very friendly to those who disagree with you).
Anyway, does it matter so much how he behaves here, if
his method is successful with our dogs?

After all, we don't need to train HIM, we need to train our
DOGS; and Jerry understands exactly what seems to be going
on in the dogs' minds and he has both the experience and the
willingness to teach others how to use this understanding in
order to modify their own dogs' behavior as they desire.

I fail to see how - for someone who comes here for help with
some very urgent and specific problem - Jerry's online behavior
would be more important than the fact that his method could
really aid their dog.

Lucy (and I never said that one should do as Jerry says, I
only advised that they should read_the_manual_ and_decide_

READING the manual can somehow cause damage)

Subject: Dog Behavior Problems

What causes dog behavior problems? Well, first
of all, a dog doesn't know that his behavior is
a problem until you tell him so. But if you
address his behavior negatively then your dog
will tend to repeat it-that is just the nature
of dogs.

Unfortunately for us humans, our natural tendency
is to rebel with emotional outburst, intimidation
or force when our dog's behavior annoys us. But
we must bite our tongue and praise our dog instead.

You do not believe that your dog is out to get
your goat? Just begin to carefully analyze his
behavior. Take for instance the case of the
Mozart hating dog.

Whoever heard of such a thing? How could such a
bizarre behavior begin and become established? Who
knows for sure, but it could easily happen like this. You
are relaxing listening to your favorite Mozart piece and
your dog begins to play rowdily-he is trying to attract
your attention-but his commotion annoys you.

You get upset and yell at him to shut-up.

Dogs are very sensitive to your emotions-positive
emotions calm them-negative emotions upset them.
But your negative attention has just given your
dog a lesson on how to get your attention.

How many times do think that it will take to make
this behavior automatic? Once, maybe twice is sufficient.

Does your dog act up when you are on the phone?
Why? Does he rush doors? Why? Does he jump up on
you or others? Why? Does he strain upon his leash?

Why?

What can you do to prevent such behaviors
and what can you do to cure them once they
have begun.

The classical conditioning and operant conditioning
schools of thought will advise you to condition your
dog to respond with some other, more acceptable,
behavior to the stimulus which instigates the
misbehavior.

Elaborate schemes are often devised. For instance
condition your dog to run to his crate to get a
treat when guests arrive to prevent him from
jumping upon your guests.

But this school of thought has nothing to
say about preventing such behavior problems
in the first place. And what if you don't
have any treats left? Or what if you are at
your neighbor's house with him?

And what if you wished that your dog would
just sit quietly when guests arrived instead
of each time having to bribe him to come to
his crate?

The force training school of thought will advise
you to scold, intimidate or by some means punish
your dog for what you deem to be misbehavior.

You do not believe that this approach may cause
your dog to dislike or possibly hate you? You do
not believe that your dog will find other, perhaps
more obnoxious, behaviors in order to get even with
you?

This school of thought also has nothing to recommend
upon how to prevent these behavior problems in the
first place.

I recommend that you learn the value of praise
and kind emotions toward your dog. Throw away
your treats and your hickory sticks and raise
a dog who is calm and loving and who never gets
into any trouble.

Learn how to use sound distraction combined with
praise to quickly condition your dog to avoid
behaviors that you dislike; by quickly, I mean
in just a few minutes. Learn to teach your dog
commands in minutes using sound, praise,
alternation and variation while taking advantage
of a dog's natural allelomimetic behavior).

Dogs do not understand the concept of right
and wrong. But it is their nature to oppose
you. If you pull upon them then they will
pull back, if you push upon them then they
will push back, if they chew upon your shoe
and you scold them then they will naturally
chew your shoe again.

Shoo your dog out of your kitchen and he will
immediately come back in. Try to keep him from
charging the door by pushing him away with your
foot and he will charge ever so much more
deliberately and he will become an expert at
avoiding your foot.

Once your dog figures out your intention, he
will figure out a way to oppose it. Your job
is to never oppose your dog-then he will never
oppose you.

For instance, never put tension upon his lead
and he will never strain upon his lead. Praise
him even if you do not approve of his behavior.

Use sound distraction with praise to eliminate
undesirable behaviors as described in the Puppy
Wizard's Wits' End Training Method.

It takes no more than four repetitions to
extinguish an undesirable behavior. This
can take as little as a few seconds. The
undesirable behavior will be extinguished
for good and your dog will have received
nothing but praise.

Since you have given him nothing to oppose,
his natural tendency to oppose will never be
stimulated.

It is so easy. It works like magic.

When you come to understand the principles of
canine behavior, training becomes incredibly
easy. If you oppose those principles of canine
behavior, then you may well battle with your
dog for the rest of his life.

Subject: Re: Dog Behavior Problems

Sound distraction, with praise, works for any
dog, regardless of breed, age, temperament or
past experience. It is not a trick or training
tip. It is a scientific principle that applies
to canines in general. If it did not work for
you, then you did not perform it correctly.

Remember, your sound distraction must be
accompanied immediately by praise lasting
from 5 to 15 seconds. During this 5 to 15
second period your dog will be thinking.

Observe them closely to see the telltale
signs that they are thinking.

The sound distraction must not originate from
the trainer twice in a row. The sound distraction
must alternately originate from the trainer and
then originate from the dog or beyond the dog.

That is why you need something that you can
toss that will not make any sound until it
lands. You begin praising as soon as it makes
its sound.

If the misbehavior continues after four
alternating attempts, then call your dog
to you and retry the sound distraction
with praise a little while later. This
prevents any battles with your dog.

Never use your sound distraction as an aversive
(to frighten or to intimidate)-that invalidates
the scientific principle upon which this method
is based. The praise is just as important as is
the sound distraction.

The scientific principle upon which the sound
distraction with praise method is based is the
same as that of Pavlov's conditioned reflex.

However, it has been proven that this sound
distraction system will condition a behavior
in dogs in less than half the number of attempts
as required by Pavlov's method.

Condition your dog to your praise by praising
them every time that they look at you.

If you desire a thinking dog, never use treats
for training because your dog's mind will focus
upon the food rather than upon his lesson.

Please study the Puppy Wizard's Wits' End
Training Method to learn the entire theory
and application of these principles.

His system is based upon scientific principles
and it is logically consistent from start to finish.

Once you appreciate that it is in the nature
of a dog to oppose you then you will begin to
make rapid progress with your training. You
will then devise your training techniques so
as to avoid any opposition-physical or mental.

Do not let your dog detect any emotion that will
tell him that he is succeeding in opposing you.
In other words never let your dog feel that he
is opposing you, because if you do, he will
certainly frustrate you with continued opposition.

That is why it is so important to always praise
your dog. If you reveal to your dog that he is
not doing what you want him to do, then he will,
by his very nature, continue to oppose you.

If, however, you devise your training methods so
that your dog never knows that he is opposing you,
then you will make rapid progress.

For example, to teach a dog not to forge ahead
of you, simply reverse direction without notice
and praise-this is a training method that reveals
no opposition from you.

Another example: if your dog strains upon his
lead, praise him when his lead is slack. When
he hits the end of his lead, pull him back an
inch and then praise the slack lead.

Since it doesn't take long for a dog's natural
thigmotactic reflex to operate, don't pull back
for more than an instant and then immediately
praise his slack lead.

The Puppy Wizard's Wits End Training Method

I have studied canine behavior and dog training
for years. I have a huge library that covers
every system of training.

The Puppy Wizard's (Jerry Howe's) Wits' End
Training Method is by far the most scientific,
the most advanced, the kindest, the quickest
and the most effective training method yet
discovered.

It is not an assortment of training tips and
tricks; it is a logically consistent system.
Every behavior problem and every obedience
skill is treated in the same logically
consistent manner.

Please study his manual carefully. Please
endeavor to understand the basis of his system
and please follow his directions exactly. His
manual is a masterpiece. It is dense with
theory, with explanation, with detailed
descriptions about why behavior problems occur
and how their solution should be approached.

One should not pick and choose from among his
methods based upon what you personally like or
dislike. His is not a bag of tricks but a
complete and integrated system for not only
training a dog but for raising a loving
companion.

When I once said to Jerry that his system
creates for you the dog of your dreams, his
response was that it produces for your dog the
owner of his dreams.

You see, Jerry has discovered that if you are
gentle with your dog then he will be gentle
with you, if you praise your dog every time he
looks at you, then you will become the center
of your dogs world, if you use Jerry's sound
distraction with praise, then it takes
just minutes-sometimes merely seconds-to train
your dog to not misbehave (even in your
absence) (Just 15 seconds this morning to train
my 10 week old puppy to lie quietly and let me
clip his nails).

Using Jerry's scientific method (sound
distraction / praise / alteration / variation)
it takes just minutes to train you dog to
respond to your commands.

What a pleasure it was for me to see my 6 week
old puppy running as fast has his wobbly little
legs would carry him in response to my recall
command-and he comes running every time I call
no matter where we are or what he is doing.

At ten weeks old now, my puppy never strains
upon his leash thanks to Jerry's hot & cold
exercises and his Family Pack Leadership
exercises.

Jerry has discovered that if you scold your dog,
if you scream at him, if you intimidate him, if
you hurt him, if you force him then his natural
response is to oppose you.

Is Jerry a nut?

It doesn't make any difference to me whether he
is or not. It is a logical fallacy to judge a
person's ideas based upon their personality. As
far as dogs are concerned, Jerry wears his heart
upon his sleeve. It touches him deeply when he
hears of trainers forcing, intimidating, scolding
or hurting dogs.

More than that, he knows that force is not
effective and that it will certainly lead to
behavior problems; sometime problems so severe
that people put their dogs down because of those
problems.

I believe that it is natural for humans to want to
control their dog by force. Jerry knows this too.
We have all been at our wits' end, haven't we?

Dogs have a natural tendency to mimic. In
scientific literature it is referred to
allelomimetic behavior. Dogs respond in like kind
to force; they respond in like kind to praise.

Don't bribe your dog with treats; give him what he
wants most-your kind attention. Give him your
praise. You will be astonished at how your dog 's
anxiety will dissipate and how their behavior
problems will dissipate along with their anxiety.

Treat Jerry Howe's (The Puppy Wizard) Wits' End
Training Method as a scientific principle just as
you would the law of gravity and you will have
astounding success.

Dog behavior is just as scientific as is gravity.

If you follow Jerry's puppy rules you will get a
sweet little Magwai; if you don't you will surely
get a little gremlin (anyone see The Gremlins?).
