"Oops! I would start by only holing her mouth

At this point, "No" does not have any behavioral function.
But, if you say "No,"pick up the puppy by its neck and
shake it a bit, and the frequency of the biting decreases
then you will have achieved too things.
First, the frequency of unwanted chewing has decreased;
and two, you have established "No" as a conditioned punisher.
How much neck pulling and shaking? Just the
minimum necessary to decrease the unwanted
biting.

First, I punish behavior, not dogs.
Second, I rarely issue corrections.
Third, as time goes on my dog uses the pillow less frequently.
I would say he uses it about once a month. Finally, I'm not
really concerned about my dog's masturbating; I don't find
such dog behavior offensive. Eating dog poop, for me, is
another story. And the rate of that behavior has also
diminished with time. :-)

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 (sh.t
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

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.

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.

Just wanted to say thanks. The method you told me

She still sniffs (ofcourse), but I rarely need to stop

can't be there every second. And she is quick!
So, thanks again for the advice.

Not trying to be a rat or anything else. I clearly said

My dog almost always comes when called. I would assume
that this is because coming is often consequated with
some form of reinforcement like food, petting, the
opportunity to play a game, etc.
But there are some times when he does not come.
These are infrequent. What do I do? I say, "bad dog"
and the moment he starts coming I say "good dog."
Why is "bad dog" effective?
When my dog was a puppy and he did not obey a command,
that was in his repertoire, I would say "bad dog" and
pick him up by the back of his neck and deliver a brief,
"harsh," lecture.
I would assume that in the process, I established "bad
dog" as a powerful conditioned punisher. I also did the
"bad dog" harsh lecture routine, when he would eat his
poop which he seemed to do quite often.
My dog, a Havanese, is quite a "softy" so I quickly
discovered that not much of a "lecture" was needed
to establish "bad dog" as a conditioned punisher.
I should also note that I said "bad dog" in various
ways, including near whispers. The net result is that
"bad dog" functions as a conditioned punisher even
when whispered.
So, if my dog just "sits there" when I say "Max come"
and then I whisper "bad dog," the vocalization in
principle punishes the ongoing behavior and so the dog
is disposed to do something else and that something else
is almost always following the previously issued command.
(You really don't want to issue the same command multiple
times without some consequences for failing to comply, for
then your dog will initially ignore your commands!)
I am NOT a dog trainer. I am a behavioral psychologist
(Associate Professor) who has loved dogs all my life.
I write this because it is likely that Jerry Howe, who
apparently opposes all forms of punishment, will post
a follow-up to this post.
His follow-up will likely not directly answer your
question but instead refer you to his poorly written
training manual or his magic black box that putatively
cures nearly every canine problem.
His follow up, unfortunately is also likely to personally
attack me. You are free, of course, to form your own
opinions and follow Jerry's advice.
I want you to know that although I have used punishment,
infrequentely and in limited ways, my dog is strongly
bonded to me. He follows me everywhere, he sleeps with
me, he cuddles at night with me, and he loves to perch
himself on my legs, much like a cat, when I'm reading a
book or talking to folks with my feet outstretched.
I don't see where the limited use of punishment has
harmed him in any general way. Perhaps, the limited
punishment I have used together with all the postive
reinforcement I have provided for "coming" and "going
down" in the context of drills, in all sorts of settings,
and under all sorts of circumstances, will someday save
his precious life.
I hope this post is helpful (also see below). Diane
Blackman, Avrama Gingold, Paulette Nolan, Ludwig Smith,
Lynne K. and others regularly post great advice here.
Individually we sometimes make mistakes, but collectively
I think we offer a variety of viable approaches limited
mainly by our inability to be with you and your pooch at

Hello.
I never posted here (or anywhere) before.
I never trained or owned a dog before this
year.
I downloaded the Wit's End, read it, corresponded
with Mr. Howe and trained my dog to come and to
stop barking in a weekend.
Our dog, Jake, had been treated with kindness the
whole time we had him, about 10 months, but his
earlier life is unknown.
I worked on the hot-cold exercise for about 30
minutes when he suddenly "got it". After that
he came to me every time with no hesitation.
I used the cans filled with pennies to teach him
not to bark. If he now starts to bark, I go to the
door or window, say "Good Boy, its' alright" and
he usually calms down right away.
A couple of times I had to get the cans
out again to reinforce the behavior.
We feel a strong bond with this animal
and he is very eager to accept our love.
So with all the vitriolic spewing going on,
I have to believe Mr. Howe is right.
His method worked for us.
I don't know if it would have been quite
as effective if we had tried another method first.

That's a matter of opinion, of course - an opinion that

The fact that he doesn't post a link to the pictures of

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.

Perhaps he can afford it. One thing is certain: his training

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.

READING the manual can somehow cause damage)

Date Oct 3 2005
Hi Jerry,
It is now 1:130 A.M. and I just finished reading your manual.
Of course I will need to read it many more times in order to
apply the techniques when I get a dog.
I found it even better than I thought it would be
and I had high expectations for it.
It is absolutely new , original, TOTALLY overdue for
the world to learn about to stop all the violence,
fear and abuse.
It is interesting how they have us in a SPELL (source
peoples emotional language legacy) and even with the
best of intentions while doing these awful techniques
that feel violent and inside the heart recoils from
doing them, there is the little voice that say's 'But
it is for the dog's good' and so I have to get tough
and not be a sissy and give in to the horror I am
seeing in the dog and feeling that in my moral compass
this feels wrong, and yet continue to betray myself
and the dog because all the "experts" who say they
love dogs ALL agree that I must do this and what do
I know, they say they love dogs they are "love covered
in fur" as Uncle Matty say's.
He loves dogs to say this so I must be too soft hearted
to recoil from what obviously is my duty toward the dog.
You really broke the spell for me.
It is ground breaking work and I am exited to absorb
it as in the first reading there are so many oh wow
moments that the exercises need to be studied at
another time as the impact of the first reading makes
it so mind altering that the emotional response of
FINALLY SOME SANITY is so strong that the details
of 'the how' to needs for me to be studied later many
times to internalize it so it is done correctly.
Thank you for the amazing manual.
Go jolly,

Well, thanks for taking the time to reply as you
kindly did. Yeah, ok, I think I got to hand it to you
lol So it's back to the manual for a while and I'll
let you know how we get on! I'm still eating my
humble pie so excuse crumbs ~;0)
I really didn't think the rewarding bad behaviour
had a chance in hell but you have proved me wrong......
He was blanking me like crazy the other day,
I lost my rag (Got the flu so on a short leash
myself lol)
Gave it a 'Good boy, yeah you really are!' and
he did what I'd been asking him to do for 5 mins
straight away lol
Doh!!
Tickles me now when he's up to no good and
I say Good Boy, he turns straight back to my
sweety and he doesn't even know it!
It's applied physchology all the way with Dobies
in particular and I know it's often better to turn a
blind eye rather than confront at that particular
time, I've always distracted rather than corrected
at this young age but I'm going your way!!
Thanks all

Nice to hear from you again. We're all outta crow at

Thank you for being a dilligent student.
> I'm amazed at how the sound distraction is so effective.
It's MOORE than that, it's the effect of ceasing the negative
interactions and allowing the dog to make choices that he's
comfortable with, which coincidentally suite HOWER desires.
> He looks at the can now like it's his god lol
Hmm. That sounds like he may be viewing the can as a punisher.
The idea is not to threaten with the can, just briefly distract from
different directions so the dog can focus on the praise and the
blank spot the distraction makes. Any sound will do, so long as
it never comes from the same point twice in a row and is always
instantly followed by prolonged non physical praise.

Ain't that sweet though!

Yeah, that's the state of the art around here. The term oik is

The Puppy Wizzzard will wager $100.00 US he can train any
dog to heel sit and stay in 5 minutes flat without hurting him
or doin anything you wouldn't do to an infant...
> I want a pal not an underling,
We're gonna get you a working partner.
> some poor creature that does what it has to do through fear.
HOWER dogs DIVE INTO their commands cause they LOVE
doin what we ask, cause that's the nature of the beast.
> My dogs always did as they were asked but for love and
> okay I had to plead sometimes
We shouldn't have to make a second request, but if that's
the case, we simply create a sound on the cue word in
the command phrase and praise, and the command will
be followed by conditioned reflex. If that second request
fails, we repate the command phrase and praise and the
dog will probably respond based on the reconditioning of
the cue in the second request. Should the third request
fail, we repeat the conditioning creating the sound from
the alternate direction with the cue word in the command
phrase and the dog will likely follow.
Barring that, we give up on conditioning the command
phrase and ask for the come command, teaching the
pup any time he fails a command, to come to us for
help, subordinating hiim.
We then pay him off for that by returning him to
heel, the equal partner position. And he's ready
to work harder at the command the next time,
startin off on a clean slate with no anxiety about
the failure.
> but they always complied when I gave them the dissappointed look!
The Puppy Wizzzard only uses that for ladies...

Perhaps I can change your mind. I don't mind being "bothered"
constantly.

That's EZ! Just ASK him.

Put him on command and follow the techniques. It's EZ.

RIGHT! That's on account of you've broken the TECHNIQUE!

CAUSE YOU'RE VIOLATING THE RULES!

No problem! You just figgered it out, I think.
> I mean, why would he want to hurt me he likes me!
Simply self defense.
> Yeah, I know the obvious one is a restraint,
NOOO! That's not training. Just ASK him to do as
you prefer and follow the techniques. Just cause
you're in the car is no different.
> seat belt for him,
You can train him to relax in a seat belt. I wouldn't
use one because I want the dog to be able to get
outta the car when he needs to.

It's entirely up to you. I mighta bought the farm a while
back has I been strapped down.

I can't help with the dough but if you need help training
him to the seat belt, NO PROBLEMO, we can do that
in WON session.

I just tell the dogs where they're to sit and ask them
to sit or down and stay, whatever's best for the situation.
> Tried fixing his lead to the seat belts in the back but
> he gets in a state and wriggles till he's all knotted up.......

Right. You'll have to train him to understand and tolerate the belt.
> He likes the car so I don't think that's the problem,
Right. It's the restraint you're trying to impose on him
without following the techniques. Put him on command,
ask him to sit or down and stay and praise and use
the technqiues to keep him on command. If he breaks
position, that's O.K., repeate the command or tell him
"back to work" and follow through with the routine.
> he when he is behaving, takes an interest out the windows

Right. Just a little mishandling.

Should take about ten minutes handling him pupperly on
lead and putting him in the car as you want and working
the pup till he's sittin pretty and your lead is handled
pupperly to get him used to what you're asking.

Hmm. Maybe The Puppy Wizzzard will have a look see

I guess I'm like a pit bull pointed at a other dog. I think it

I assume that I and my wife are those two naive childs

This naive child would like to say thank you to both
Jerry and Marilyn for putting up with a constant barrage
of really infantile crap at the hands of supposedly
adult dog lovers.
The other naive child (LSW) has to put up with the
nagging idea that if people like them had been posting
earlier, maybe we would not have had to hold the head
of a really magnificent animal in our arms while he was
given the needle and having to hug him and wait until he
gasped his last gasp.
To my mind, "naive" is believing you can terrorize a dog.
Naive is believing that people that hide behind fake
names are more honest than people that use their real
names. Naive is thinking that dilettante dog breeders
and amateur "trainers" like Joey (lyingdogDUMMY, j.h.)
are the equal or better than those that have studied and
lived by their craft for decades.
"Stupid" is believing that people do not see kindergarten
level insults for what they are. Really stupid is believing
that people like Jerry Howe and Marilyn Rammell are
going to just go away because you people act like fools.
Why do you act like fools? I really have no idea, and I
don't really care.

I think I'm going to get one myself for Father's day and

This is serious and not a troll. I kill-filed Jerry because I don't
need his
agida. I find his manual to be poorly written. But I took the trouble
to go
through it and highlight sections that were actually training advice
and
they made sense to me. I've indirectly applied certain of his
suggestions
and they've worked.
So, Jerry may well be an a.shole, but what *specifically* are wrong
with his
suggestions, apart from some bengay type ointment on chewables?
I hope I don't have to kill the resulting thread but I fear I probably
will.
Sincerely,
