New Dog
Craigus
I have a new pet dog after my poor dog died of old age. His name is
Benji but the previous owner wouldnt allow him upstairs and so he
won't come upstairs whatsover but I like my dog with me upstairs for
company at night times, what can I do?
William Clodius
Since Petticoat Junction, I think of Benji's as small dogs,. If he is
small why not pick him up and carry him up? If not, how does he react to
treats left on the stairs?

Hi thanks for your message, he is a small dog and I have picked him up
and carried him but he struggles to get free and runs straight back
down, putting treats on stairs is a good idea, I will let you know how
I get on.
Tara Green
He may actually be a bit phobic about stairs.
I'd start leaving nummies on the bottom step.
Once he's comfortable just walking up and
taking it, put on on the bottom two. He'll
probably spend a few days streeeeetching his
nose up to eat the second treat without
taking his back legs off the floor. That's
ok. Just make sure he's comfortable during
each and every phase.
If he likes treats (or kibble or whatever_
you can also play "go chase the treat" where
you toss it towards the stairs and he runs
and "catches" it (he gets to eat it, of
course). Every once in a while when playing
that, see if you can toss it on the first
step. Sometimes if they're playing, they can
take slightly bigger risks without noticing
as much.
But in all of it, the watchwords are: don't
try to go faster than your dog is comfortable
going.
Thanks for rescuing :-)

"Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative
reinforcement" (1958) NEARLY EVER LEARNING THEORY
model involves the USE OF PUNISHMENT. Of curse,
Skinner has never to my knowledge, demonstrated
HOWE we escape the phenomenon that an expected
reward not received is experienced as a punishment
and can produce extensive and persistent aggression
(Azrin et al, 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 behavior and learning immediately deteriorated."

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?).

"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.
"All animals learn best through play." -- Konrad Lorenz
"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)."

"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."

Really Works; They Assume It's All Nicey Nicey

I've never forced my dogs to do anything,
I tell them they are good dogs and they
seem to follow me, onceI told them they
were bad dogs and they ran away from me,
now I only ever tell them they are good dogs
and they always are, always.
Trust your dog, ask it to do your request and say
"good dog" sincerely at the end of the request and
I bet you'll find your dog thinking then responding
everytime.
A Bit Of Respect Works Wonders,
The Same Rule Applies
To Every Aspect Of

Obedience And Affection Are Not Related,

Obedient Dogs.
I Have Found Giving Dogs "Payment" In Advance i.e.
"Sam sit goodboy" Makes The Dogs WANT TO RESPOND,
After All, All Dogs Want To Be "Good Dogs" And If
You Tell Them They Are Good Then They Feel An
Obligation To Obey Your Request.
Telling Sam He's A Good Dog AFTER He Sit's
Apart From Being Too Late Is Also A Gamble
Because If He Doesn't Sit Then There's No
Positive Interaction.

Subject: Doggy advice
Scott, Jerry Howe forwarded me the letter below.
I'm glad that you referred negatively to Jerry's
habit of CAPITALIZING and HOWEING everything.
I personally hate this habit of his. I think it is his
way of diluting his authority - IME he is a very modest
fellow. However, contrary to your sneer, he is very
competent at living with dogs.
I thought I'd list a series of actions which I found
on the list, folk asking advice on what to do about
dogs doing this and that, for example:
whining,
humping, hunching,
pacing,
self mutilation - paw licking, side sucking,
spinning,
prolonged barking, barking at shadows,
overstimulated barking,
fighting, bullying other dogs,
compulsive digging,
compulsive scratching,
compulsive chewing,
frantic behavior,
chasing light, chasing shadow,
stealing food,
digging in garbage can,
loosing house (toilet) training.
inappropriate fearfulness
aggression.
The thing that is fascinating to me, as an ethologist who
graduated from college 50 years ago and has spent all of
the intervening time working with animals (including the
human animal), is that you never see any of these behaviors
in wild dingoes, jackals, coyotes or wolves, you don't even
see these behaviors in hyenas (who aren't dog related).
You see these behaviors in human managed animals, especially
animals who live with neurotic hysterical humans.
As Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student) demonstrated for
nearly 50 years at Ohio University (Miami, O.) there
is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving
care.

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.

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. Read
it, 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.
