I recently rehomed one of my dogs that
submissively urinated, we tried for two
years to get him over it but nothing worked.
It is not a behavior I can live with.

though, that were you her breeder, I would have
purchased elsewhere.

That's curious. Too bad you didn't think ahead
and have all the discs in her neck fused so you
wouldn't CRIPPLE YOUR OWN DOG LIKE HOWE YOU DONE:

First of all,

Excuse me, Katrina. The Amazing Puppy Wizard
would like to APOLOGIZE for being CRUEL to
you in the past for having crippled your dog
by jerking and choking her.

if someone thinks they have a problem with
how I treat my dog,

It's a matter of record that you've hurt your dog.

they should talk to me about it,

The Amazing Puppy Wizard told you IN ADVANCE
and you didn't LIKE hearing that you was hurtin
your dog.

not wait until they see the other Dane owner
who lives on the street and waylay and harangue
her about it.

You must be quite the spectacle with your spooky
aggressive hyperactive Dane, katrina, trying to
jerk and choke and force CON-TROLL of her using
a slip choke harness since you've broken her neck
on your head halters and pronged spiked pinch choke
collars like your pal robin nutall did to TWO of
her own dogs, katrina.

Dogs are VERY SENSITIVE critters, katrina.

Every morning I have to take Saskia out front
to take care of business and leave the baby in
the playpen. Thus this has to be a short trip,
and if she doesn't "perform" right away I bring
her back in and we try later.

Of curse.

Sometimes, being 1 1/2 years old, she balks at coming back in.

That's curiHOWES. At 1 1/2 she's MATURE. Dogs balk
when they are afraid or being oppositional, just
like children.

So this neighbor told the other Dane owner how
terribly sorry for Saskia she is because she
only ever gets to go out front and we could at
least take her to the end of the block once in
a while.

We know that's not true. You give her PLENTY
of EXXXORCISE to force CON-TROLL of her hyper-
activity, and she must certainly EXXXHAUST
herself pulling and bolting after and away
from dogs pedestrians and bicycles.

Grrrrrr!

Perhaps you should do some RELAAAXXXATION EXXXORCISES?

I have prepared a piece of paper. If she
approaches me I will give it to her and tell
her to call a vet and ask if this dog is suffering.

Your posted case history is all she needs to review.

It says that this is a 1 1/2 year old Great Dane
with a slight neck problem

Without meaning to be CRUEL, katrina, your dog got
a BROKEN NECK from bolting on lead after and away
from nearly every thing she sees. The Amazing Puppy
Wizard TOLD YOU she was gonna GET HURT like that,
but folks with Dobermans and Danes DON'T WANT to
stop jerking and choking them because they're SO
hard to CON-TROLL. Look up Ron Hardin's CASE HISTORY
of trying to train his Dobe Annie to HEEL.

TOOK THREE MONTHS of the most brutal jerking and
choking by every conceivable method he could muster.
Funny thing was, he FINALLY trained Annie to heel
by ACCIDENTALLY using sound distraction and praise,
and the Coupe De Gras was he didn't even attempt to
follow the METHOD as the technique worked so fast
his ERRORS actually came out to PEFECT TIMING, had
he been INTENTIONALLY using the technique.

And he hasn't been back since.

and instructions from the orthopedist to take
it a bit easy with her

INDEED. But you CAN'T, because she's a SPOOKE
and she bolts after EVERY THING she can see.

She free-feeds but does not eat much and is,
according to vets, in great shape. Every
morning and 2 or 3 other times per day the
dog goes out to the street to eliminate.

IN ADDITION, she goes 1 or 2 times a week
for a walk of at least an hour with us somewhere
in the city.

THAT'S takin it EZ???

IN ADDITION, she goes three or four times a week
to the small dog running area nearby to charge about
madly, which is a 15 minute walk each way and she
gets at least half an hour there.

Didn't you just say the vet sez "TAKE IT EZ"???

Truthfully, I'm not fit for that much EXXXORCISE.
What you're doing is EXXXCESSIVE activity for a
dog HOPEFULLY recouperating from Woblers Syndrome.

IN ADDITION, she goes at least once and usually
twice a week to the big park, where she runs off
lead and plays with other dogs for about 1 1/2 or
2 hours,

But you JUST SAID your ORTHO VET TOLD YOU TO TAKE IT EZ.

in addition to the 45 minutes or an hour of walking
to get there and back.

No WONder she's got a BROKEN NECK.

Also she plays with us several times a day,
playing tug and wrestling and blanket-on-the-
dog, and she can play with a ball in the tiny
back yard if she wants to.

You're EXXXCESSIVELY EXXXORCISING your dog to
CON-TROLL her HYPERACTIVITY from FORCING CON-
TROLL of all her behaviors which is likeWIZE
HOWE COME she got her HYPERACTIVITY and SHYNESS.

There's a developmental stage at 18 months old
where dogs OFTEN TURN ON THEIR OWNERS or family
members.

It just burns me up how people say they feel
so sorry for dogs like her because they live in the
city, while being completely sanguine about the
neighbor's fat lab that is never off the lead,

You can BET YOUR LIFE that fat Lab isn't being
choked and dragged all over Oslo, like your dog.

HEY??? The Amazing Puppy Wizard just figured out
what's the problem for your neighbor. You sez she
sees you take Sasi out BRIEFLY and on her return,
she BALKS.

Well, the neighbor simply thinks she's reluctant
to return because she APPEARS to want a little walk.

Of curse, WE know Sasi gets PLENTY of EXXXORCISE.

And your neighbor, if she's observing you walkin
her in the morning she MUST see you taking her
for her long EXXXORCISES to CON-TROLL her
HYPERACTIVITY. Your neighbor THINKS Sasi is
balking because she wants to stretch her legs.
She just doesn't understand that Sasi balks when
she's AFRAID or AGGRESSIVE or OPPOSITIONAL, not
because she misses a little walk to the corner
and back. That wouldn't be much EXXXORCISE even
for myself.

or the other neighbor's border collie that gets
out a couple of times a day for half an hour.

Dogs DO NOT NEED EXXXCESSIVE EXXXORCISE to be CALM.
Dogs GET HYPERACTIVE from MISHANDLING, katrina.

I wish people would educate themselves about breeds

A dog is a dog, katrina.

and their requirements!!!!

Dogs THRIVE with minimal EXXXORCISE just like myself.

Saskia has us around almost all the time, too,

Right. THAT'S why she's HYPERACTIVE.

and these other neighbors,

Maybe they just enjoy watchin you gettin
dragged back and forth when you walk her
to the corner and ENJOY the circus?

including the ones who walk their (overweight)

There's NUTHIN WRONG with being overweight
or underweight, katrin. All depends on the
whole of the body, katrina. I'm on the life
prolonging diet where they reduce mouses food
by 20% to increase longevity. I'm gettin the
20% they're not giving the mice. I've never
been so thin and OUT OF SHAPE in my life, but
settin right here stark ravin nekkid 24/8 for
five years takes it's toll on muscle tone and
weight.

Soon as The Amazing Puppy Wizarf is DONE with
this project HE'LL take a rehab in the mountains
by the shore and work his Mojo to find the cure
for old age.

Bernese Mountain Dog down to the end of
the block and back twice a day

Optimally twenty minutes of brisk walking
one or two times a day would be theraputic.

but otherwise keep him inside or tied by a
short lead on the tiny concrete square
at the top of their stairs, work all day.

Yeah, but he don't got a BROKEN NECK from
being jerked and choked while dragging you.
You just wrote in about that three weeks
ago: "Help training Saskia not to drag"

http://makeashorterlink.com/?F2D9519AB

Urrgh. Just venting.

Seems your neighbor enjoys watchin you
fighting with your dog for CON-TROLL.

Your suggestions HURT dogs and GETS PEOPLE

That's not POLITE, adam. After all, these ARE

Jerry Howe (AKA - The Amazing Puppy Wizard)
was banned from this group for life.

You mean the "Pro Trainer's HOT LIST," don't you, adam?
INDEEDY! They're a Gang Of DOG ABUSING Thugs, adam.

'All professions are a conspiracy
against the layman' - G.B.Shaw.

The Amazing Puppy Wizard has made NO CONTACT with the
A=2EP.D.T., a FINE, REPUTABLE organization which SETS THE
STANDARD for MORALS and ETHICS in the dog industry who
will no doubt eagerly lend their support promoting NON
VIOLENT training methods.

Perhaps you're not familiar with them? Your "Pro Trainers"
WENT INSANE when HE TOLD THEM ALL temperament and behavior
problems are CAUSED BY MISHANDLING. After THAT, they told
HIM that if HE wanted to TALK TRAININ HE could do it "in
the backroom where ANY THING GOES".

Well, that lasted WON DAY.

They BANNED HIM when The Amazing Puppy Wizard SEZ HIS
green trained CRIPPLED Students are more capable than
the best of your experts AND HE PROVED IT by CITING
POSTED CASE HISTORIES of CRIPPLED LITLE OLD LADIES
rehabilitating aggression and hyperactivity NEARLY
INSTANTLY.

What else would you EXXXPECT?

The Amazing Puppy Wizard has been BANNED
from NEARLY EVERY dog traing list including
"behavioral sciences", gil minter white's
and the Weimaraner list where SELLING LESSONS
IN PERSON are their only goals.

To HIS knowledge, there's only two lists where
HIS methdos are endorsed: Irishdogs.IE (Peter
has spent maybe three hours on the phone from
the Emeral Isle talkin dogs with The Amazing
Puppy Wizard) and MolossorDogs.Com, but HE'S
TOO BUSY RIGHT HERE to contribute directly to
other fine boards.

The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) is a
professional organization of individual trainers
who are committed to becoming better trainers
through education.

INDEED? Are they affiliated with any universities
or humane / veterinary associations?

The APDT offers individual pet dog trainers a respected
and concerted voice in the dog world. We continue to
promote professional trainers to the veterinary profession
and to increase public awareness of dog friendly training
techniques.

You mean you SELL TRAINING LESSONS and SHOCK COLLARS
through veterinary endorsements you've solicited on
comission, adam.

The INFORMATION Animal Behavior Forensic Sciences Research
Laboratory SHARES below will no doubt be of interest to
your professional trainers, humane societies, A.K.C., and
the VETERINARIANS who ENDORSE your mission statement.

Whether you train puppy kindergarten, agility, search
and rescue, competition, or work with aggression, the
Association of Pet Dog Trainers is the premier educational
organization for you!

Well, thank you kindly, adam. The Amazing Puppy
Wizard has a little INFORMATION HE'D like to SHARE
with professional trainers, veterinary ethologists,
psychologists and psychiatrists, jurists, senators,
legislators, and congressmen as well as the A.K.C.,
Humane Societies and moms and dads all over the
WHOWEL WILD WORLD.

HURTING critters to train them makes them AGGRESSIVE
and GETS PEOPLE HURT and DOGS DEAD, adam. BRIBING dogs
makes them MISTRUSTFUL and lower's their regard and
ESTEEM for their fearless leader, and teaches GREED,
adam, and are the REASONS SEARCH and RESCUE DOGS FAIL
to find lost children like Elizabeth Smart and the boy
scout lost 4 days in the mountains of Utah from KNOWN
STARTIN POINTS. Presumably they were the SAME SAR teams.

Force and Bribe trained dogs FAIL to SEARCH when
they KNOW as soon as they make their find they go
BACK IN THE BOX and resume traditional CHOKE and
SHOCK COLLAR training, adam. They PREFER a nice
walk in the woods sniffin bunny trails and gettin
COOKIES, to obedience drills and bannishment to crate.

Animal Behavior Forensics Research Laboratory is
going to provide EXXXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY to
the PARENTS of all those DEAD CHILDREN who's LIVE'S
WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED had those SAR dogs NOT been
force and bribe trained, adam.

When The Amazing Puppy Wizard first came to r.p.d.b.
HE SAID HE'D BUILD HIS CREDIBILITY on the DEAD BODIES
of the DEAD DOGS these ABUSERS enterTRAINED TO DEATH.

The recent MURDERS of a girl by a TRAINED tiger in KS
and the 3 DEAD CHILDREN in a trunk of a car in N.J.
and Jessica Lunsford amongst other lesser known SEARCH
and RESCUE DOG FAILURES resulting in DEATHS and other
near fatal maulings like Sigfried & Roy likeWIZE, have
RESULTED FROM MISHANDLING.

What's more, likeWIZE THAT'S what CREATES MASS MURDERERS
like B.T.K. Dennis Rader, Son Of Sam Berkowitz, Ted Bundy
et al, who will no doubt AGREE with the MISSION STATEMENT
of Animal Behavior Forensic Sciences Research Laboratory
under the Direction Of Jerry Howe, The Amazing Puppy Wizard.

The Amazing Puppy Wizard has been BLESSED with their
DEAD BODIES upon which to bring EVIDENCE to lawmakers
and victims alike and hold the feet of the responsible
parties, to the FIRES OF HEEL.

Whether you're the owner of a new dog or puppy, or
if you're a serious canine enthusiast or competitor,
APDT member trainers can help you gain the most from
your companion dog.

INDEED. It's VERY IMPORTANT to raise your puppys well.

Adam G. Katz


Below you'll find a letter goin to Dr. Hamilton of
the Canine Genome Project who are busily searching
for the GENE which causes AGGRESSION, PHOBIAS, and
OCD's. LikeWIZE copies will be going to the Academy
of Neuro Sciences and the mass media, and professional
organizations, amongst OTHER CONCERNED PARTIES.

Dear Jerry, I paged through some of the "dog business"
and was astonished at the low quality of opinions arising
from professors of behavior analysis.

I had the very great privilege of meeting Sam Corson
(Pavlov's last Ph.D. student) and his dogs at Ohio
University. I even got to spend a night at Sam's house.

There is no question but that you are a spiritual brother
to Corson and to Pavlov, both of whom knew that the dog's
great capacity for love was the key to shaping doggie behavior.

Paradoxical reward and paradoxical fixing of attention are
both well documented Pavlovian techniques. Even so humorless
a chap as B.F. Skinner taught students like the Breland's whose
"The Misbehavior of Organisms" demonstrate the utility of your
methods and their deep roots in scientific (as opposed to
commercial) psychology.

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 (Oxford, O.) there
is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving
care.

I have been trying for the last 18 months to help my
dog who became fear aggressive at 18 month of age.
I do not know what started the problem but he came
aggressive first with dogs and then began lunging and
snapping at people. Until this time he loved everyone
and could play with any dog. He was well socialized
ad I took him with me everywhere.

At 13 months he passed the Canine Good Citizens
Test except he could let me leave him. I had used
clicker training to teach him manners and tricks but
it was not working on his aggression problem.

I took him to vets who suggested a low protein diet,
trainers who charged $800 to only make him worse.
They tried to use a prong collar and he froze, urinated
and tried to climb on my head to help him. they then
suggested a shock collar I knew this approach was not
working as he was becoming more aggressive.

I took him to an animal behaviorist with Ph. D. 400 miles
away who told me to "KEEP HIM SAFE" and read a book
on the fearful canine. I tried another trainer who tried to
use a nylon chock collar but it only made him worse.

I read hundreds of books,"CULTURE CLASH", "DOG
ARE FROM NEPTUNE", "THE OTHER END OF THE
LEASH", ETC looking for help. We finally went to Purdue
University Small Animal Behavior Clinic and they said he
had fear aggression, punishment would not work, use the
gentle leader and when out walking and he got stressed
have the people stop until he could get in control using
treats, and work on clicker training.

At that point I knew more about clicker training and using
the gentle leader than they did! Nothing was working--he
would not come when I called him and would run away when
I tried to catch him. I was afraid to walk him even in the
neighborhood as we had become that "mean dog and women who
hasn't trained her dog"

I went to four trainers in both Michigan and Florida who
were trainer/specialists in aggression and the last two
were so afraid of him they could not approach him. No one
said I should give up on him and kill him but they would
say "You have to realize he is dangerous and you are
responsible for him."

*(You got LUCKY, Linda... They coulda got Sunshine
DEAD on us. Damned near did... too.)

As last resort I tried the internet again--I had had on
going discussions with trainers from Triple Crown and Dr
Meister with out any help-and I found the ad to Doggy Do
Right and messaged Jerry to ask if this might help my dog.
He said solving the aggression problem was EZ but I could
not believe him even when I downloaded the manual.

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.

My goal is to get the message out to all dog lovers that
dogs can be trained fast, easily and problems solved with
out force, pain, food or anything but sound and praise!!!!

I know most people would have given up on him a long time
ago but he was and is my life. Solving the problem was EZ
but only with the right approach-sound and praise.

I know because I tried everything else and nothing worked!!!

Thanks for writing--I would be happy to do almost anything
to get your approach out to dog owners as I know it would
save so many lives. I know at times I was so frustrated I
thought of giving up on Sunshine but of course I never would
have but many people would have. The world just does not
know you can train a dog in just a few sessions and actually
solve problems.

We will be here until late April and we really have no plans-
-just to enjoy the warmth and sun of Florida, so any time
you could meet us would be great. I drive so I would be
happy to come to you anytime anywhere!

We went to Celebration today and two little poodles got
right into his face and he just sat there--I GOT a little
scared but he handled it just fine.--a couple of times people
would ask his name and want to pet him and he just went
to them tail wagging and rolled over for them rub his tummy.

He really just is not concerned about people passing, even
those on rollerblades! I have always used a gentle leader
in public but he spent most of time rubbing his face on the
grass--today I used his collar and he was so much happier!!

Only problem is he will stop to smell and I can not get
stopped soon enough to keep the leash loose. He never
pulled ahead of me but when he gets into smelling I have
a hard time getting him going--at times I think he could
smell a blade of grass for 10 minutes.

I can never thank you enough for giving Sunshine back!!!!!

I wrote to Purdue and told them about him being able to
walk in a crowd with out the /gentle leader and not having
a problem with other people and dogs.

I told them their advice did not work. Their advice was
to use the gentle leader at all times and when he was
around people or dogs to have him sit and reward with
treats--one really good suggestions was to have people
coming toward us stop when he got stressed or aroused
and not move until we backed away-

- can you just see me yelling at people to stop on the street
until I get his attention with treats.

They also suggested the possibility of using drugs-prozac-
but thought he was too dangerous as the drug would make
him less fearful and then he might attack or become more
sure of himself and become dominate aggressive. Just had
to share their great advice with you but I am sure you have
heard it all--even I am becoming an expert on bad advice.

Jerry's home (That ugly cinder block shack???

with the dog, he was coming on command
(not a quickly as he does now, but still...) and
walking with us on a loose lead.

His "hot/cold" exercise and "come when called"
command and pack exercise WORK!

and in all likelihood he's never even been near a dog.

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

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

am concerned, I've never seen any other
training approach that was as fast and easy.

I do have a Doggy Do Right and have had it for about one
year. It truly does work - at least on my Dobe, Chelsea.
Chelsea was the unhappy recipient of several failed attempts
at obedience training, both in a "class" environment and with
a personal trainer.

She is very high spirited and strong and, unfortunately,
spoiled, since we are an older couple who doted on our dog.
We were lucky enough to find Jerry Howe and to not only buy
a Doggy Do Right, but to also have him personally work with
Chelsea.

His methods are wonderful and effective. Chelsea is not a dog
that you will bully, and I wouldn't dream of hurting her. After
Jerry spent time with her, she no longer jumped on furniture,
ate food off the counter, pulled me incessantly on the leash.
She is calmer and we are all happier. Well, it is a very long
story and I won't bore you with all the details, but suffice it
to say that Jerry Howe saved the day for our dog and for us.

Hi Jerry,

I wrote to you a week or so ago about the unit. I
have since borrowed one from Elaine Mc Clung. She
speaks very highly of it.

So, I brought it home and plugged it in. Of course,
I wanted it to come on, all the barking stop, and
have every one immediately fall to the floor in little
comas for a few hours. Well, after I got all 27 of
them to be quiet, still no comas. But, it had only
been 36 seconds at that point.

So, I gave it a little longer. Still no comas.
Was this really going to work? I mean, I do
have an unusual situation.

So, by bedtime, a few hours later. I started to
notice just how many were asleep already - with
their feet in the air!

I started to have hope. During the night, all was
calm. In the morning when I got up, only a few
of them WALKED quietly to the door to go out. Not
the usual evacuation.

I had the unit from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday
Morning. I was certainly pleased with the night
effect. I wasn't so sure about the amount of the
day time effect. Until I took it back. Within half
an hour, the monsters had resurfaced. I wondered
if I could break into Elaine's house and if she
would notice

I know another person who does dog rescue. She rescues
Beagles. She has 23 in an 1100 square foot house. God
bless her. She is interested to see if it will workfor
her. I also spoke to someone else who does cat rescue,
and she is interested. The cat rescue people have monthly
meetings. Maybe Elaine could give a word or two about it.

So, if there are any words of advice you can send my way
about the best way to use it in my case, I would appreciate
it. I of course wanted to keep it on the highest setting,
but don't know if that is advised, even with my situation
of so many new ones coming and (too few) going.

Also, how I and others can go about getting one, etc.
I think the vets should have the info in their offices.
It must help dogs with separation anxiety. My vet
practices homeopathic as well as traditional medicine,
so I would think it would be right up her alley.

Thank you.

Sunshine and I owe everything to Jerry and the Wits End method
for our success. I have had dogs for thirty years but never one
like Sunshine. He was fear aggressive and lunged and tried to
attack any one or dog that came into view.

Using the DoggyDoRight and the Wits End approach he walks off
leash, come anytime I call him, and is starting agility practice
with other dogs right next to him.

I have learned so much from Sunshine and Jerry that now I want
to share Wits End training methods with other people and their

Sunshine is still acting like a new dog!

Saw a dog today and "good boy-" worked
along with calling him-came the first time
every time. Not even a sound out of him.

Think it is hard for him but he never even
seemed to think about going off-reacting.

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

Participating dogs of all pure or mixed breeds are
welcomed. This approach, particularly useful in
looking at common traits that appear to affect all

array of dogs. In this case, having a large number
of dogs with the trait being studied is helpful.

Hi !
Our black lab girl is 3 months old (she

When we first brought her home she had
a bad habit of trying to nip our faces (including
my 3 year old twins) during playtime. It drove
everyone in the house nuts and it brought my
little girls to tears as you can imagine.

We tried saying no, and that would just get
her even more excited, so we would yell no
and that would just get her "scared" but still
excited. In short it just wasn't working.

So we finally did what Jerry has suggested
to you. We used a sound do distract her and
we would immediately praise her.

I have to say that it worked great. BUT she
then moved on to nipping at the feet LOL silly
little thing.

So again, we tried no, and then louder no,
but again it didn't work so we went for the
distraction and praise.

I must say that she is doing great!

I hope that helps.

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.

Science and Dog Training

: In this article, the relevance of science to an

:
: I believe the dog trainer would be wise to learn
: what science has to say about dog behavior.
:
: Science studies phenomena (events in the world) using

: to an understanding of dog behavior are biology (the
: study of life) and psychology (the study of behavior
: and mental processes in humans and other animals).

"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.

When our dog was a puppy, "No" came before mild
forms of punishment (I would hold my dog's mouth
closed for a few seconds.) whereas "Bad Dog" came
before stronger punishement (the kind discussed above).

"No" is usually sufficient but sometimes I use "Bad Dog"
to stop a behavior. "Bad Dog" ALWAYS works," marshall

Subject: Max--Vomiting, Lethargy, Discomfort, Fever

Max has a new problem:

Max is our 5.5 yr old, neutered Havanese with a
history of acute gastritis.

Max is fed four times daily for otherwise he vomits.

Max has had calcium oxalate uroliths removed about 9
months ago and now exclusively eats Hills Canine U/D,
plus rice cakes as treats.

Max has had a history of "attacks" that occur about
every 30 days. Four attacks so far. He vomits, refuses
food (but not water), and then either becomes lethargic
or moves from position to position. He often also develops
a fever. The attack two days ago went as follows:

1=2E He vomited at about 5:30 AM with nothing much in the vomit.

2=2E At about 9 AM I fed him a little rice + ground chicken and
he vomited this.

3=2E By 8 PM his temp was 102.5.

4=2E By 10 PM he was hot to the touch, panting, and moving from
one position to another. He remained in a given position
for only a few minutes.

5=2E By 3 PM the fever broke and he was resting comfortably.

6=2E The following day he was returning to his normal behavior.

7=2E Two days, post attack, he is normal though he has loose,
orange stool. This has cleared up with time.

AFTER these attacks we have brought Max to the vet.
An x-ray revealed nothing. A month ago, a sonogram
was conducted and his blood was tested for one of
the pancreatic enzymes (perhaps amalayse). The enzyme
test was negative. On reading the sonograms, a veterinary
radiologist was not concerned about the sludge in Max's
gall bladder but was concerned that the pancreas had a
"hot spot" and that the walls of Max's stomach were
thickened. The radiologist recommended biopsies of the
stomach wall and pancreas.

One month ago, when the sonogram was taken my vet was
reluctant to perform the biopsies. He recommended putting
Max on Pepcid AC daily. So that is what we did. About 2.5
gm every 8 hrs. Despite the Pepcid AC Max had an attack
two days ago.

Now my vet is suggesting exploratory surgery.

I've contacted Max's breeder for his parents produced
about a dozen puppies. The breeder is not aware of such
a problem with the other offspring.

My wife is reluctant to have the exploratory surgery
performed. I guess she wants to wait and see if Max
has another attack.

(I feel so sorry for Max as he endures these attacks.)

Another approach is to bring Max in for a sonogram and
additional diagnostic work WHEN HE IS ACCUTE. I talked
to the local emergency veterinary clinic and a doctor
said that this is possible and it would be desirable
for the clinic to have Max's records so that the clinic
does not repeat tests.

My own thought, if my wife would agree, is to have
exploratory surgery about two weeks after an attack.

Any other options or thoughts?

Thanks,

--Marshall

we clean his penis area daily with a wipe that has a glob of

If you go to http://www.google.com and use the groups

alcium oxalate" you ought to find my many posts.

Then our dog developed another problem. We don't have a
definitive diagnosis but the problem has something to do
with his gall bladder / liver. Our feeling was that it is
best to put him on a diet lower in fat than U/D.

snip doting

The only other thing I do is clean his prepuce daily with
a diaper wiper and some aloe gel. My vet thought that this
could not hurt and mentioned this when I asked how he got
innoculated with the bacteria that produced a series of
bladder infections that had apparently preceded the stone
formation.

snip doting

So far so good: no bladder infections or signs of stones
in two years. When I bring him in for his spring check up
I will again have his urine tested for crystals. I would
like this test run in the late afternoon because all the
other tests have been run early in the morning.

Are you up for it or do you want to be an assclown forever?

I have been reading Jerry's posts on the dog groups for

such as yourself, offers Jerry good advice which Jerry
ignores.

I don't often read Jerry's posts. When I do, my responses
are either to laugh (for he does have a way with words) or
feel sorry that someone with such verbal skill is so socially
unskilled.

The good news about Jerry's posts is this. He must spend hours
on his computer daily responding to posts. The time he spends
in cyberspace is time that he cannot spend upsetting family
members or neighbors.

For barking in the crate - leave the leash on and

When he barks, use the line for a correction.

better than a choke with less chance of injury to the dog in
this situation.

Electronics can be used to create an aversion to cats, but
should be used under the direction of a trainer who knows how
to instruct the owner in their proper use. Electronics can
take the form of shock, sonic or citronella collars. At that
time the owner will train with electronics instead of food or
whatever other reward system was being used."

8) Put a prong collar with a six-foot leash on the dog.
Don't forget to put the muzzle on the dog. I think a prong
works better than a choke with less chance of injury to the
dog in this situation. Have the dog in a sit-stay next to
you with most of the slack out of the leash and let the cat
walk through the room and up to the dog if it wishes (this is
why you have the dog muzzled). If the dog makes an
aggressive move towards the cat, it must be corrected strongly
with both your voice and the collar. This is important - the
correction must be physically very strong - not a nag.

(PS: not many dogs need to be corrected at all).

If the dog drops it, chuck it solidly

Genetic mapping of traits, whether coat color, cancer,
or behavioral conditions, is often facilitated by using
"genetically homogeneous" populations.

"Inbreeding is Spiritual, Not Physical" The Amazing Puppy Wizard.

This means that the shared genetic background of purebred
dogs is circumscribed, or simply put, was handed down from
a limited number of founder dogs for the breed.

1Ki 15:3 And he walked in all the sins of his father,
which he had done before him: and his heart
was not perfect with the LORD his God, as
the heart of David his father.

This ensures that all or most of the dogs with a trait
within a breed are more likely to share the same genetic
variation or mutation.

Jerry!

You helped me with my pal Dundee about a year ago
regarding submissive peeing. Just wanted to let you
know he's doing great- he was "cured" in about 2 days
using your techniques!

He has since become the "smartest dog in the world"!
Once I stopped thinking like a human and got inside his
head, I can teach him ANYTHING, usually in a matter
of minutes. Makes me look like an expert dog-trainer.

I rescued two strays last week, cleaned 'em up, wormed
'em, and am getting them their shots. Time to get inside
their heads and teach them to teach themselves how to
be good dogs!

Instead of feeling like "training" is a chore, I look
forward to working with these guys a couple times a day...

Although I don't follow your instructions "to a T",
I learned from you to "think like a dog" and stimulate
their brain rather than beating ass or pinching, or
any of that nonsense.

I know damn well I would NOT be loyal to someone
who beat MY ass lol!

Well, just wanted to thank you for rattling the bushes
out there and teaching folks the RIGHT way to "train" dogs.

A horseman friend of mine uses very similar techniques in
training his horses- he calls it "natural horsemanship". He
is hated by nearly all the local "trainers" yet somehow he
repeatedly wins at every show he attends. He rarely shows
any more, but goes now and then to rub their noses in it

Hi Jerry,

Just an update to let you know how things are going.
Hunter is doing really great thanks to you and your
training manual.

I cancelled the appointment with the new vet to get
him re-evaluated for aggression. all weekend long I
had kids run by the fence to try and make him bark.

He didn't!

Tonight we are going to PetsMart to work on his dog
aggresion but even that is going good for him. I have
less and less of a problem with him in my vehicle. He
doesn't try so hard to protect it from the four wheeled
monsters that go by.

I think soon I'll be able to leave his window open when
we go down the road and he won't try to jump out at the
cars that go by.

I have shared the manual with several dog owners
that I know and even a group of dog trainers.

Thank you again.

Dear Jerry,

It's Kay here. I don't know who these people are
that maligning you and your training manual but
tell them from me that it does work.

Hunter is just doing so well even the people who
advocated putting him down are impressed with him.

I even started using it with the neighbor's dog. I went
over there to help her cut his nails. She started yelling
at him for growling at me.

I told her to tell him what a good boy he is instead.
Lo and behold he stopped growling and I could do his
nails. All 4 feet.

My dog Hunter was trained with the old jerk and pull
method and my other dog was trained with treats. Hunter
has gotten his enthusiasm back for his training and I
couldn't be more pleased.

He even tried to kiss a child the other day.

Major break through.

This is the dog that a few months ago tried to eat
the kids through the fence. I can now take him in
the car with me again without him trying to chase
cars through the windshield.

So Jerry tell these people that the first rule
of dog training is Do No Harm.

The 2nd rule is whatever works without breaking the first rule.

Aggressive dogs don't need to be put down.

Hunter was diagnosed aggressive and he is going
to stay alive and by my side where he belongs.

Thank you so much.

I have had Skeeter the rescue Pap for about five
months now. Skeeter is a delightful little dog but
he marks in the house.

I feel that he is basically housebroken because
he seems to understand that outside is where we
go to pee, will hold it all night, will ring a
bell to go out, etc. but Skeeter does seem to
believe that marking does not count as peeing.

I'd been warned that prior owners reported marking in the
house so since the beginning I've treated him as if he is
not housebroken -- supervised, crated if I can't watch him
so he has no opportunity for accidents, praise and treats
EVERY time he goes outside.

Because it is exhausting to live this way (one eye
on the dog at all times) I resorted to using a belly
band (I expected that I would mess up -- and figured
at least this way he wouldn't be able to sprinkle
stuff because his accidents are so small I'd have no
hope of finding and cleaning them up) and so I know
that as time went on the marking behavior seemed to
go away -- because the belly band is always dry.

So I thought we'd licked it.

I am currently visiting my family in Virginia and now
that we are in a new place, the behavior is back in
full force. This house is much larger and my family
is very busy and Skeeter has had more opportunities to
mess up so it's understandable but I'm still pretty
disappointed that Skeeter is messing up at all.

I felt bad for him being stuck in his crate WAY longer
hours than he should be, so I started letting him be
loose with the belly band on and this is how I discovered
(by checking it often in a paranoid fashion) that he likes
to mark at least once or twice a DAY while we are here.

Since allowing him to continue doing this is counter-
productive I have no choice but to keep in crated almost
all the time, which I don't feel good about.

But I also feel angry and frustrated.

I've been very diligent about working on the housetraining
(I've essentially been housetraining him for the last five
months) but now it seems like none of it sank in at all as
far as the marking thing goes.

I know marking is kind of separate from housetraining but I
don't know any other way to try to train a dog not to do it.
Is there anything else I can try, other than treating Skeeter
like he isn't housebroken, forever? Do I just have to resign
myself to having a small dog that has to wear a diaper all the
time?

I used to scoff at people who claimed that male toy breed
dogs cannot be housebroken, but now I know how they feel.

Have any of you had success licking this kind of problem?
Skeeter is neutered and has been since he was six months old.


I just don't get it.


When I brought Solo home he was 16 months old
and still intact. He marked the door the evening
I brought him home, I told him "No, we don't do
that here" (exactly that emotionlessly) and he
said "OK" and NEVER did it again.


Solo has literally not peed in the house since that
day, to mark or for any other reason. I know I got
lucky that time, but this HAS to be a behavior I can fix!

Magic trick, secret password, special chemical, whatever,

I'll try it.

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

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.

From: AIMEE ):

I own a black an tan coonhound. We got him
as a puppy, and due to constant mishandling
(pulling on his lead, negative corrections, and
the occasional use of a bark collar) I ended
up with a very anxious dog.

I couldn't leave him home alone, I couldn't
crate him, I couldn't even take my dog for
walks because he feared EVERYTHING.

I was going to have to get rid of him if things
didn't turn around.

My husband and I searched the internet for
answers - AND WE FOUND THE PUPPY WIZARD.

For all of you disbeliveers out there HIS METHODS WORK!

I've followed his manual, and we now have a
dog that can be left home alone, that heels
on command, that can go outside and NOT
be afraid of everything he sees.

Not only have his methods helped our dog, but
our marriage has gotten better. We had fallen
into a rut - constant bickering and tension, we
never laughed or had FUN together - but now,
with the same mindset used in THE PUPPY
WIZARDS dog training, our communications
channels have opened, and we now work
together instead of against one another.

For all the "Literalists" out there, NO WE DID
NOT TEACH EACH OTHER TO SIT, STAY,
OR HEEL.

We simply eliminated the nagging and the
acting out to get NEGATIVE attention from
one another since we weren't getting
the POSITIVE attention we wanted.

So, it's been proven - THE PUPPY WIZARDS
METHODS WORK.

It's up to you to accept them. Yes, there's alot
of blame that we have to accept, but once we
realize that we've caused these problems to
arise, we can strive to make things better.

HOWEDY Linda,

I am not sure what happened but after two days
Sunshine walked with me not sniffing, pulling or
going his own way. In two and a half years he
has never walked without his nose to the ground-
-today he walked closer too the cart than ever
before and turned to look at me every few minutes-
-in past with treats and pleading he only looked
toward me when I had a treat in my hand.

It is hard to believe he has really changed so quickly.
Now I have several questions--After one time with
throwing the can he has always come on the first call-
-do I need to try to set him up to not come so we can
do four times in different places?

Yup. You've got to generalize the come command to make
it 100% reliable. MISTAKES ARE GOOD. You want him to
make a few mistakes so we can get the sound associated
with the command.

I have not tried to call him off leash outside as that is
the time he is does not come.

O.K. You know to do the HOT & Cold and Family Leadership
Exercises and you'll have a perfect come command in a couple
fifteen minute sessions.

On the leash he came on the first call today even when he
was starting to explore the leaves etc.

Excellent. We discussed his penchant for eating leaves and
dirt off the ground.

He walked past several people today with hardly a second
glance-

We also discussed that he was rather aggressive, and you
were becoming very concerned about being able to keep him.

he did see a cat about 10 feet away and when I called him
the first time he did not respond but when I used the can he
ran over to me and seemed to forget about the cat.

PERFECT. Next time you'll probably not need the sound.
Just remember to vary the origin of the sound each time,
day in to day out, the sequence never breaks.

Now what do I do when he sees another dog?

You'll tell him GOOD BOY and prepare to make the sound
and praise if he continues looking, and if that fails, you'll
ask him to come, keeping in mind the sequence of the
commands with sound and the distract/praise techniques.

You'll get used to thinking that fast in a couple more days,
no problem.

Although the calling him the four times seems easy it was
very hard-

Yes, it takes a bit of a knack to get it just right, but if
you fail, not to worry, you'll be able to get it right the
next time.

We don't lose points for "do overs" as long as we get the
pup under control fast and EZ. That's HOWE COME that
dependable come command is so necessary.

-I had a friend which was good since I had a lot of trouble
calling the right way and using the can at the same time.

Yes, I recommended you may want a friend to help because
of your disability.

I found out I had been calling him many times each time
I called him to come.

Right. Should be about a second between requests and
the sounds on the second and fourth commands and move
off into the FPLX if that fails, and continue the technique.

EZ, huh???

I am still working on the leash it is really hard when you
are not standing upright as the leash can not be as loose
since it drags on the ground-

Yeah, I don't know if you're able, but do try to handle the
lead exactly as instructed. It'll feel uncomfortable for a
few days, but we don't want that lead tangling and
accidentally pullin on him.

-I am so worried without the leash around my hand

Psst! If you've got fair strength in your hands, let me
do the worrying for you... O.K.?

but I am not sure if it was the leash,

Well, you know I told you it was the overcontrol of
the lead that triggers positive thigmotaxis, the opposition
reflex.

telling him good boy everytime he looked at me

That ALWAYS works. All my Mrs. got to do is tell me
good boy and I'll do anything she asks. Hey? I think
I just figgered out HOWE COME she always gets
her way with me...

or the cans,

Any sound will suffice, even an extraneous and coincidentally
but well timed sound will work, maybe even BETTER.

but today seemed like a miracle.

WELCOME TO WITS' END DOG TRAINING!

I told a friend about this approach and they thought you
were on "Today" this spring--was it you?

Naaah. There's nobody that has such fast EZ safe gentle
methods. I'll be on TV soon enough with my Doggy Do Right
(And Kitty Will And A Rooster Did And A Cockatoo Or Two
Did Too) machine.

But that's just gonna give me the floor to discuss the state
of the art of the animal behavior industry.

Would you do me a favor? If you're on the internet, I'd sure
appreciate it if you'd repost this to the groups, a lot of
people are saying terrible things about me and tellin folks
reports like yours, are FORGERIES by ME.

HOWEDY Linda,

I got your message tonight and have printed
your manual--will start tomorrow--

Excellent.

I am truly at my wits end!!!

Me too, but not with your problem. This one's EZ!

Today he bite me twice breaking the skin when he was in a
"rage" .

He's gonna be EZ. He's not even thinking about you when he
bites. He's just overexcited trying to PROTECT you. That'll
diminish immediately through simply handling the lead
properly, gettin the control and attention through the praise
conditioning, and distract/praising his aggressive thoughts
before he gets out of control.

EZ stuff.

Once when he saw another dog-ran toward the dog

Sound/praise and repeat as necessary. Just remember
to always vary the direction the sound comes from. You
might need a helper to produce the alternate sounds in
time.

and pulled me down-

In a couple days that'll cause him to come back to you.

-since I do not walk or move very well, falling down is
a major problem as I can not get up without much help.

He'll straighten out in a couple days of EZ work.

He bite me when my hand went close to his mouth while I was
falling.

Yes, but he wasn't conscious of YOU, he's in a fury protecting
you.

The second time was when we were going down the street-
-I use an electric cart

Excellent. You'll be able to handle him EZ like that.

and a man walked toward us and He saw him before I did

That would complicate and slow things down.

and took off-

In a couple days you'll have the control to stop him after
he's started.

-lunging barking and snapping again I got my hand within
reach of his mouth and he bite me-

That was predictable!

-he bites what every is close.

At least he's consistent. That's GOOD!

When he is not in a rage he will let me doing anything-

Of course. He sounds PERFECT. This is the kind of
dog I'd go out of my way to get for myself...

-take is food away, touch him anywhere, or do anything to
him-

Perfect.

-and he will never even raise his lip but when he goes
off he is in another world.

Yeah, kinda like me...

You are my last hope-

You're gonna be EZ.

-he works to help me at home--he picks up anything on the
floor, closes doors, picks up the daily paper and will stand
to brace me when I stand up on my bad days.

He sounds like a great dog!

He waits for me to go out the door first and
will wait until I call him to come in and close
the door.

He'll learn the same manners when in pubic.

He really helps me everyday and if I didn't
have him life would much harder.

We'll fix him up in a couple days of EZ work.

But I know if we can not solve the "rage" problem

Pssst! It's already in the bag...

he will bite someone other than me and will have to be
killed.

Not to worry, that'll be past history in a couple days.

Your method seems so simple

It is. Just follow the techniques and ask me if you
need any help. I've got all kinds of fast EZ solutions
for any problem you could encounter.

after all we have tried it does not seem possible to
change his behavior easily-

Everything you've tried has relied on bribes force
and confrontation.

-but I will start trying tomorrow.

And instead of trying to force him to stay in control,
you'll PRAISE his first aggressive thought and he'll
move in close to YOU to protect you, not charge at
others. He'll learn FAST that you want the aggression
and he'll want to use it BEST for YOU, so he'll do
EVERY THING you ask the first time.

I'd LOVE to have a hundred dogs just like him today.

I use a Halti so he does not pull me over-usually!

Right, but here again, you're relying on some degree
of force to control him. That will ALWAYS trigger
the OPPOSITE of what we want, telling him to be
aggressive, not to pay attention to you and your safety.

Once he sees THAT, you're gonna need a shoe horn
to PRY him AWAY from you.

In fact, when you WANT him to attack someone all you'll
have to do is let him see someone and gently pull back
on his collar without sayin nuthin, and that'll set him off...

but have never used punishment, choke collar or any
other "corrections"

Good, that'll make it REAL EZ to teach him my methods.

I taught him all his tricks and tasks with a clicker and
food.

Fine. We'll forget the treats and use the click differently
for our puporses.

Thanks for your help in advance-

CONGRATULATIONS in advance...

-I pray your method will be our salvation!!!

No need to. It's already DONE.

Linda.

Do me a favor? If you could keep a record of our
discussions and your work with your pup, and
send it in to the news groups I participate in, it'd
be a great benefit and inspiration for others in the
same or similar situations.

Welcome to Wits' End Dog Training.

Subject: dog aggression - Today Seemed Like A Miracle -

WELCOME TO WITS' END DOG TRAINING!

Will try it today and post how well this system works.
We went to a dog class that I had enrolled in for
resocialization--getting him to not lunge and try to
attack every dog he sees, we were at the third class
and I forgot the Halti but he was relaxed and had no
problem with any of the seven dogs-

-in the past he would shake and after a little while
turn away from the dogs and look at the wall. Saturday
he wanted to play with the dogs--he actually pulled
toward the dogs- kinda jumped around like he use to do
before he became aggressive- when he got close to another
dog.

Teacher was impressed with him but thought it was from
her class--I didn't tell her anything different-she had
tried but it sure was not working.

Today on our walk a dog went by and he alerted but did
not move toward the dog and when I called him he actually
came with his tail wagging and forget about the dog.

I have told everyone I see about your dog training-
-all my friends and neighbors know I have been so worried
and frustrated with Sunshine's behavior-infact some would
turn around and go the other way so as not to get close to us.

If people knew how easy it could be to get a dog to come
and listen to you there would be a lot less dogs in shelters.

I know I didn't know what to do and was afraid I would have
to kill him if he bite someone even though I loved him so
much.

Hello Jeremy,

I'm glad you're finding success with my methods and
thanks for the kind words. I hope you'll contribute to
the group. You'd be surprised at the improvement in
the caliber of advice posted here if you looked back
ten months ago.

The smarter dogs are often the hardest to train because
they outsmart us. That's why we need to elicit their
cooperation, because they are too smart to put up with
being dominated or forced.

All of the force techniques are based on the alpha
theory are problematical on a large percentage of
dogs, and at best, do not contribute to a well rounded
personality and flexibility.

The heeling pattern exercise is where you will really
see the dog's thinking get organized. It really effects
nervous or hyper dogs in just a couple of days work of
four minutes each. The subtle challenge of dominating
and subordinating on the circles and turns balance the
dog's temperament in a similar manner to the alpha
rollover, but on a non physical level. That will relax
and instill confidence in timid, shy, or aggressive dogs.

The important thing is to not try to make it happen, the
exercise is necessarily confusing and contrary to what
would most ordinarily make sense for working with a
dog. I can't wait till you try it... Jerry.

Oh, and did I mention his methods work,

Mike

Ok Mike which part worked for you?

It helped clear problems from my dogs in the
field using the can penny distraction technique.

Works like a charm.

My dogs get distracted easy from their jobs ie,
retrieving or training to find lost people, oh did
I mention that I am a Search and Rescue Team
Leader.

Sorry that slipped my mind.

I have read volumes of training books and don't
know where people get that Jerry copied others
work as I have NEVER come across his methods
before. I would like to see proof.

Just like Jerry outlined I eliminated problems one
at at time as they arose. I used to try and train to
the way I wanted them but this is backward, you
train out the problems leaving what you want left over.

Funny part is the second dog who had the same
problems as the other didn't need correcting for
some of his habits after I cleared it from the first
dog.

Seemed he learned through osmosis.

Nice side benefit there.

It nearly came to giving them up to a 3rd party
trainer as they were not performing well. The
VAST majority of working dog trainers are
agressive in their actions with the dogs.

I tried it and it didn't work and guess what I
was at my "Whits End" then someone I new
turned me onto Jerry and the rest is history.

I referred friends and families to Jerry's manual
and all have had great results. Starting puppies
out on the distraction technique is especially
good because they never develop the habit.

I had my sisters dog healing, sitting and down
stay reliably at 8-9 weeks. The first night home
following Jerrys advice we ditched the crate and
put the pup on the floor beside the bed and after
2 whimpers NOT A SOUND OUT OF THAT DOG FOR 6 HRS!

first night, that has never happened in all my days.

Sorry, the man understands dogs its that simple.

Disciple Paulie Writes:

I've never forced my dogs to do anything, I tell
them they are good dogs and they seem to follow
me, once I 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 the relationship with your dog.

Obedience and affection are not related, if they were
everyone would have obedient dogs.

marshall dermer:
"Jerry Is Not God And His Manual Is Not The Bible.
His advice could be subject to an empirical analysis."

Hello James,

I have used his recommended techniques and
ideas with greatsuccess, and over the period
I've used these methods the more I've become
to understand and appreciate how his methods
work and how effective they can be if carried
out correctly.

His manual isn't conventional and as such
gets critisized and misunderstood. The basic
concept is to allow the dog to choose whatever
behaviour it wants for any situation but to
distract (and immediately praise ) it from
behaviours we deem undesirable, because of
the correctly timed distractions repeated
usually about 4 times (in each location) the
dog decides of it own accord that this behaviour
is undesriable and therefore pursues something
else, if that behaviour is also inappropriate
to us then we carry on distracting, very soon
the dog finds a behaviour that is mutually acceptable.

The benefits of this type of approach are
numerous, Firstly we aren't challenging
the dog so there is no conflict so the dog
does't develop any possible negativity to
us, the dog decides of it own free will that
a behaviour is unsatisfying so chooses to
cease it (in other words even if we are gone
the dog won't have any desire to pursue that
behaviour i.e. bin raiding etc).

I would recommend his manual.

Date: 2001-07-12 00:13:28 PST

Hello Marshall,

The way I view it from my observation of how
my dogs react is that the distraction interrupts
the dogs thought, not for good or bad, just
interrupts, the dog is therefore distracted for
a second and then will either continue the
behaviour or do something else.

The praise reassures the dog that the sound
distraction is not a threat or punishment,
however if everytime the dog resumes a
particular behaviour it's distracted immediately
(and praised immediately for reassurance) then
it quickly decides this behaviour is not fulfilling
and it ceases.

A dog will offer another behaviour in it's place
and if that is acceptable to us then we let it be
otherwise the distraction continues until a suitable
alternate behaviour is offered.

One example, Sam used to jump up on me
when I arrived home, I would shake can to
distract him right at the moment he was
about to jump up, after about 4 repetitions
he tried sitting and offering me his paw, of
course this was fine so I let it be.

While the concept of shake cans is not new,
I haven't read any other advice that says to
praise immediately regardless of what the
dog does next (the common advice is to
praise once the dog is doing a desired
behaviour or at least stopped the unwanted
behaviour), this is unique to Jerry (and Marilyn)
and from my own experiences is an important
part of the process.

Thanks Paul! He does recommend praising
a dog for barking, but he appears to recognize
that this may not work and so distraction
is recommended as a back up procedu
There really is NOTHING new about the advice above!

What worked for me, in just one storm,
was to praise the dog after each clap
of thunder, telling him he's a Good Dog!

This is an almost 13 year old Doberman, BTW.

The next time it thundered, he did not even
react at all--you could not tell it was the same
dog as before.

There was more thunder just the other day,
and same thing, nada, nothing, zilch, no
cowering, whimpering, trying to hide at all,
it was that simple.

I got this idea from Jerry Howe, who might seem
to be a "wild and crazy" character, but his non-
abusive way of handling dogs WORKS.

Wonderfully.

Praise.

It's that simple.

Hi Lynn,
I used to have a barking problem with my
German Shepherd Dog a couple of years ago.
I tried several things recommended to me by
different trainers, and nothing was working.
When I read that section of Jerry's Manual,
I thought the same way you did.

"What???? PRAISE her for barking?" It sounded
counterproductive, but I had tried everything else
I'd heard so I thought I'd try it too.

Next time she went nuts at a person walking by
outside, I told her, "Good job! Good girl! You are
such a good protector!" And instead of continuing
the barking, she came to me for a belly rub! She
will still bark (she's a guard dog, that's her job),
but after one bark, she knows she's done her job
to warn me by my praise, and she stops.

Jenn,

Could you be so kind as to post here the
section from Jerry's manual where he
writes that you should JUST praise the
dog when it barks?????????

As I recall, I thought he first advocates
distracting the dog from barking, with
keys or the soft sound of pennies in a
can, before praising.

Perhaps you can tutor me regarding
Jerry's system.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not Jerry but sure you could use a clicker to
distract a dog but that is not the purpose of a clicker.

You can also use a teaspoon to cut steak but that

My dog, Dasie, Loves to chase chameleons

used this system on four different occasions.

When she went out today, she looked

Amazing, just amazing.

I will write to Amanda about the video.

RTFM is age-old computer lingo.... It stands
for "Read The F***ing Manual" ;-) I used the
manual and it works very good!

But it is a long text to read (76 pages printed
on A4-size paper) My lab is 1year old now,
and teaching him something new takes about
30minutes (depending on what to teach offcourse)

My other dog (a 7year old staffordshire terrier-mix) is a bit
slower in learning, but he is used to me 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 to learn
something new: he wants me to bring 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
beeing on a leach at-all !!! When he spotted a dog,
he used to run towards it, but now i tought him to "ask
permission" first, and to my surprise it worked!

My dogs never went to puppy-training (lucky for them),
maybe this helped too.

You'll get ALL the INFORMATION you need in your
FREE copy of The Puppy Wizard's FREE WWW
Wits' End Dog Training Method Manual. You'll be
taught some general exercises to calm and relax
your dog and give him the direct attention he
NEEDS in only a few minutes every other day, and
you'll learn HOWE to use distraction and praise to
EXXXTINGUISH the HABITUAL aspect of this DIS-EASE.

My dog (a 1 year old Yellow Lab) was biting his tail
at the root (Vet said his anal gland was blocked, and
was causing an itch).

After squeezing it, he still wouldn't stop biting his
tail. The vet advised a neck-funnel (don't know wat
you US-guy's call those) so he couldn't reach his butt.

I hate those things, i think they will drive a dog nuts.

I tried the wits end method. (difficult to read such a long
textfile if English is not your native language) Luckily this
is without all the "HOWE's" etc.so at least it's readable for
somebody like me.

The minute he started to bite i trew my key's
next to him on the floor, and praised him (he
stopped biting and looked up when he heard
the sound) I did this 7 times,

after that the tailbiting completely stopped.
Just give the wits end method a try.

I use sound to distract the dog and praise it
immediately. The reason for the immediate
praise is that as soon as the dog is distracted
it's no longer thinking of the inappropriate
behaviour so the praise reinforces the "not
doing" the unwanted behaviour.

I use various sound sources, a soda can
with stones in it, car keys, Click my fingers,
etc. Varying the direction of the sound each
time is important too, otherwise the dog may
begin to anticipate the sound and it will lose
it's effect, if the noise direction is random the
dog won't get too familiar with it and it will
remain an effective distraction.

Remember too that we aren't trying to scare
the bejesus outta the dog, simply breaking it's
train of thought while it's thinking of the unwanted
behaviour.

Sometimes you won't even see a reaction
but the dog will have been distracted fleetingly.
(Recently one of my dogs started habitually
licking my feet while I was watching TV, I clicked
my fingers on her left side and told her "good girl"
even though she only paused her licking briefly,
next I clicked over her right side and praised, by
about the 4th repeat she suddenly stopped, I
repeated this over a few nights and now she
doesn't lick any more, on the few occasions she
absent mindedly licks now all I do is click and
praise and she immediately stops).

Timing is important too, learn to anticipate
when the dog is thinking about doing the
"dirty deed" and distract and praise then,
with any luck the dog will try again almost
immediately so distract and praise again,
if the timing is correct after about the 4th
rep the dog will stop.

I could go on but this post is long enough
already, remember too that the dog isn't
being a "bad dog", it's behaviour is simply
inappropriate for the circumstances.

Happy training, :-)

Hmmm. We Can't Train Dogs Not To Dig?

Hello Jim,

"Jim Maher" wrote in message
...

My Daughter in Atlanta(Ga), adopted 2-stray dogs (Golden
Retriever/Chow & White German Shephard) who are constantly
diging Holes in her back yard & laying down in them..

No problem, good buddy. Jerry's student's learn HOWE to
handle and train ALL dog behavior problems quickly gently
and EZ using their FREE copy of my FREE Wits' End Dog Training
Method manual available for FREE at http://www.doggydoright.com

Our DOG LOVERS told my students they'd NEED to HURT their
dogs MOORE than they'd LIKE, and not to believe Jerry.

I posted THEIR methods of abusing a dog for digging,
which PROBLABLY won't work anyHOWE, and NOBODY tells
you any different?

The VICIOUS ADVICE I posted was the BEST there is in
the consensus of opinion of our DOG LOVERS.

AMAZING, not nobody sez "don't believe Jerry, he's
tellin you to HURT your dog and that's not necessary."

Did they, Teabag?

Our dog lovers WANT you to hurt your
dog so you'll be just like THEM.

After 25 Bags of Top Soil (No kidding ), I have the
Holes filled..a Neighbor said to put chicken wire
over the Hole, then place 4" of dirt over it & the
dogs Paw will hit the wire & the dog will stop...

That's absurd. Digging as you describe is usually an
anxiety relief mechanism behavior, not just digging
for pleasure or climate control.

My students break digging in just a few minutes over a
couple of days. That and POO EATING are among the EZiest
behaviors to extinguish. At least for Jerry's students.

I did this as an experiment to Two of the Holes, Guess
What, they just dug another Hole, I may have to chicken
wire her whole backyard...

Yeah, that's HOWE COME Jerry mocks our experts. That's
HOWE COME our dog lovers tell you to killfile Jerry,
cause they're afraid YOU'LL GET WISE to them.

That's about the limit of their dog training ability,
either put up impossible physical barriers to aviod
the problem, or HURT the dog cause our "EXPERTS" are
full of hot dry crap, good buddy.

That's HOWE COME the killfile Jerry campaigns.

Any suggestons out their....

Yeah. All the information you need to know to properly
handle and train your dog is available for FREE in your
FREE copy of my FREE Wits' End Dog Training Method manual
available for FREE at http://www.doggydoright.com

Here's the SUGGESTIONS our "experts" gave:

Koehler's Usefulness: Digging
If you come home and find your dog has dug a hole, fill
the hole brimful of water. With the training collar and
leash, bring the dog to the hole and shove his nose into
the water; hold him there until he is sure he's drowning.

If your dog is of any size, you may get all of the action
of a cowboy bull-dogging a steer. Stay with it. I've had
elderly ladies who'd had their fill of ruined flower beds
dunk some mighty big dogs.

A great many dogs will associate this horrible experience
with the hole they dug. It is not necessary to *catch the
dog in the act* in any of the above instances of correction.

Be consistent in your corrections and your dog will come
to find the smell of freshly dug earth quite repugnant.
wm. koehler.

I LOVE this one. It's VERY effective, it absolutely
doesn't interfere in your relationship with your dog,
and is EASY and QUICK to do. And it can be really
funny to watch. Yes, there are other methods that work,
for example the stake-in-the- ground method that Koehler
also describes, balloons in the water, etc.

The point here is that you have a CHOICE. If your flowers,
yard, etc., are no big deal to you, don't even worry about
it. Live with the destruction, give him an area of his own
to "destroy," etc. Whatever. But if you're one of those
people who spends a lot of time and MONEY on your landscaping
and grounds, give it a try. It works!

No, there is no reason for you to "drown" your dog!

Hyperbole is just that. Hyperbole!

Don't let it cloud your common sense.

Usually within seconds, the dog will start to struggle.
That's what you want him to do: THINK he is about to
drown, not actually drown.

Hold him there for another few seconds and then release him.

And I've never known of a dog to even attempt to bite
during this procedure. Normally they'll just shake it
off and start AVOIDING ANY HOLES -- almost immediately.

Now folks, what's the worst thing that happened to this dog?
Was it injured in any way? Absolutely not. Was he startled?
Absolutely. That's what AVERSIVES are supposed to do. This
procedure works in the same way that snake-proofing a dog with
an electronic collar works. Or to prevent dogs from chasing
deer, etc. And if you think you can make your dog, say, avoid
POISONOUS snakes using only positive reinforce, I've got some
beach-front property in Kansas I can sell you cheap.

Are flowers and backyards a matter of life and death.
Probably not -- unless the dog ends up at the vet's
because of it. But SOME people, unable to otherwise
"cure" this hole-digging, will simply take their dog
to the vet's to be euthanized.

Don't believe that?

Go down to your shelter or rescue group and ASK them
the reasons that people turn in dogs. Maybe YOU wouldn't
do it, but a lot of folks would. There aren't approximately
5 million dogs put to death each year (in the US alone) for
no reason, are there?

So folks, yes...YOU decide for yourself. If this seems
"cruel" to you, just don't do it. But don't think about
getting an abortion, either.

"Who is cruel to a dog, is more cruel
thereby to his own soul,"--Will Judy

Whosoever refuses to punish a dog for behavior that
can get it KILLED has no heart whatsoever and will
go straight to hell.

I found a hurtless remedy to solve all dog bad behaviors.
I just keep a livestock whip (used to train horses) near
the door. When the dog starts digging, chewing garbage,
barking at rabbits, attacking the cat, or other bad things,
I just snap that whip above his head, and with practice you
can get a loud snap. That snap stops whatever he is doing,
and he cowers into his dog house.

He has learned that that thing means he is in trouble, and
I also yell loudly at the same time. Of course, this only
works when I am around to see his digging, or whatever, but
it has been quite effective, and causes no pain to the dog
at all. Now, I will admit that I did snap it across his
butt once, when I first got him, and he was being bad, but
that was the only time, and he learned that one time, that
this thing means business. Ever since, I just snap it in
the air, and problem solved..... Of course, like I said,
he will still dig and do other bad stuff when I am gone,
but even then, when I see the mess, I grab that whip, and
stick his nose by the problem, and with my other hand....

SNAP !!!!!

One other thing. Fill the holes with the muddiest, sloppiest
mud you can make. My dog avoids it.... Of course, eventually
it dries, and he may go back to digging.....

My vet would disagree with you. I have a terrible
problem with one of my dogs but not the other -
different breeds.

The vet said that some dogs just like to dig and that's that.
I like the idea of the sand box, and since this fellow is a
lab mix, I'm going to get him one of those plastic kiddy pools.
Hopefully this will deter some of the activity. (And please,

or it could be a troll are you a troll??
do not use it on your dog.....

would you use it on your best friend.....

I have read jerry's book, it seems too easy at first.
however I started to use some of the training out of
it and now.

I have a dog that heels as fast as a collie in a
trial.great dane X mastiff

I have a dog that stays and never leaves the spot.

I have a dog that comes when ever I call.

I have a dog that never leaves the yard, never runs
away.

I have a dog that stands still to be washed
with the cold hose.

I have a dog that never pulls on
the lead when we walk.

I have a dog that puts up with more abuse then a
dog should from my 2 year old and loves it

I have a dog that barks at the fence only when some
ones there.

I have a dog that would not care less if there is
another dog in the park only wants to be with and
please me though a lot of this is due to me training
the dog spending the time with the dog.

jerry's book showed me not to punish the dog. but
just to work with the dog. which I liked the idea of
hence why I tried it. it is easy to become
frustrated with a dog when you are trying to train
them.

I look forward to my next puppy ban dog so
I can use the information from jerry's book
and see just how good a dog can get.

the dog I have now was when I picked her up from the
RSPCA. she could not walk on a lead no idea. cowered
from every noise and wet her self, messed in the
house at every turn. acted like I was killing her
when I dragged her over to the mess.

this was A 6 month old pup that had been beaten 2.5
feet to the shoulder. I could of taken her back
however I knew I could bring her back to being to be a dog.

the dog I have now at 1.5 years same dog is a dog
to be proud to walk down the street with 3 feet to
the shoulder and still growing.

so well behaved even when people walk passed with a
out of control dog. gentle with my child and trust
worthy I never have to worry that my dog
will bite her, only have to worry if a stranger
comes over to my child. still that is not a worry
she places herself between my child and the
stranger

I may be plugging jerry's book, however with the
crap out there it is good to see that someone has
moved forward. looked at a different way to train
dogs. yes he gets into people, and in their face
you should back off a little jerry however he is
sick of the bashing, choking, shocking, shaking and
everything else. so jerry save this lad from ruining
his dog. later, Joe

And then you tell our dog abusing Thugs to **** off
and say Thank you Jerry, and get the heel outta here
like the rest of Jerry's students do. Our dog lovers
can't help you do nuthin but HURT and KILL your dogs.

The Golden Retriever/Chow mix dog seems to be the Culprit.....

NOPE. You got that backwards, good buddy. The CULPRIT
is our dog behavior "EXPERTS" who can't tell you to
do anything besides FORGET ABOUT IT, or HURT your dog
as they told my students Paul B and Marty B when they
first asked this same question...

Thanks, Jim from Syracuse, NY

Here's Paul's explanation of my method. He was talking
about eating garbage, but it's all the same. Any behavior
can be substitued: When Paul and Marty first reported my
methods worked in a couple days, they was called liars
and paid shills for Jerry by our dog lovers who told
him to killfile Jerry and HURT THEIR DOGS, teakettle.

********, the manual has no dangerous suggestions at
all, people who find the manual useful are those that
don't need to control a dog to satisfy their own ego
but simply want a well behaved dog that is easy to
live with. I would suggest the people who follow the
advice in his manual are people who have already
tried other inefficient methods and are fed up with
the poor results.

The more I think about the methods he suggests the
more sense it makes, the biggest problem is people
believe they have to be in control of the dog, tell it
whats right and wrong, dogs don't understand
our values and I don't believe they are capable of
understanding them either, so to train them we use
methods they understand.

That means abstract training, doing sometimes
what appears to almost be the opposite of what
makes sense to us.

If you are purely result orientated then you will not
find Jerry's manual much use, if you love your dogs
and love to work WITH them then his manual is
your dream come true. Distraction and praise works
with any dog, when you sit back and really think about
it, it's very obvious why.

When a dog is properly distracted (and praised) of a
particular behaviour then that behaviour very quickly
becomes unfulfilling so the dog will no longer have any
interest in pursuing it, whether we are about or not,
thats the key to stopping garbage can raids and food
stealing etc etc, no force, no bad dog, just distracting it
in an appropriate manner that it no longer wishes to
pursue that behaviour.

Better than hiding the garbage can eh?

We just installed a PetSafe brand fence this Spring.
Two dogs, two collars We now have one dog and no
collars.

Peach and Zelda would run thru the fence, not want to
come back in the yard and would run for days. The
last time, Peach didn't come back home.

I used the Wit's End Training Manual to learn how to
train my dog. She is now border trained. A few
minutes each day reinforces her desire to stay in the
yard.

She no longer runs out into the road, I can stop her
from chasing cats and she no longer cringes when we
walk around the yard.

I can not say loud or long enough how much I hate the
e-fence and its collars. If you can't get a regular fence
then you need to train your dog. I will never rely on an
electronic collar to keep my dog in our yard again.
The price was too high:-(

Jerry has taken the time to help me out off the NG.
I have a very loud cockatoo who has been having problems
adjusting to my 8 month old son.

Joey is learning to walk. He likes to use Buddy's cage
as a hold on for dear life object. Buddy wasn't exposed
to toddlers prior to Joey.. my older two boys went through
this stage in a different house where Buddy had his own room
and the boys had only visits, not daily contact 24/7.

Buddy has always been spooked by "tiny" humans. Joey has
been driving him nuts! He showed his disapproval by non-
stop screaming. A cockatoo scream can be heard a block
away with all the widows shut g being in the house it
makes your ears pop and your nerves crawl.

Jerry sent me Free his DDR. He sent instructions on how
to use it. He answered my questions quite politely.

I have been using the DDR in my kitchen ( where Buddy is
located~ teensy 4 room house) for 3 weeks.

At first I noticed no difference in Buddy's behavior.
Then I realized after a week that he no longer screamed
for hours on end. This isn't to say he stopped completely
bg he still demands his share of all meals. But he
doesn't start screaming at 10 pm when he wants _everyone_
to go to bed.

Last week he had a day where he screamed all day.

My nerves were frazzled. I went to turn the DDR up a notch
per Jerry's instructions. I discovered the DDR was shut off!

I turned it back on and left it on the lowest setting.
Buddy calmed back down and quit screaming.

In the time that I've had the DDR on I've had a lot of c*ts
come to my house. One I adopted and he's quite the sweetie.
He's a yellow tiger named Gatomon ( means c*t monster) who
is very friendly with my kids and Zelda.

I may not like how Jerry treats other posters but I do like
the methods he shares. Being on a limited budget I like
things that are free. I also like the fact that I can e-mail
him and get advice whenever I need it.

Even my DH who is a technical minded kind of guy thinks
the DDR is working. ( He went to Devry and has a degree
in electronics, knows alot about radios and anything mechanical...
he's a jack of all trades around the house g). He does NDT
for a living.

We don't expect to need the DDR forever.. As soon as Joey
is walking, Buddy will realize that he's not a strange animal..
some kind of furless dog or c*t bg.

So, yes, there are some of us out here who do appreciate
Jerry's methods if not his condemnation of other "regulars".

Honey, flies that sort of thing....

Dear Jerry-

I just wanted to let you know how wonderful your Doggy Do
Right product is. I was skeptical at first, but have been
tremendously pleased.

As you know, we had a neighbor's dog that was extremely
bothersome, at times barking loudly for 3 hours straight.
Within a few days, the barking decreased, and now it is just
the occasional bark. this dog lives approximately 500 feet
away, and even at that distance, the machine has done wonders.

You were always available and patient to answer my
questions, and now I can be in my own home without going
nuts from the barking. As an added pleasure, all the other
minor barking nuisances in the neighborhood have stopped
as well.

Quiet is wonderful! Thank you.

Hi Jerry,

I received email from Mark Shaw on 10/6 which I just
read today. Sorry I didn't have time to get to it sooner.
We have had a lot going on in our area concerning animals.
We formed a new Task Force to address spay/neuter, pet
overpopulation and animal abuse. I needed to do a lot of
research before the first meeting and time was just not
available for anything else.

Anyway the letter went on to say that we are in collusion,
I tried to defraud him, and have sent none of the materials
that he has asked for although he has yet to furnish the P.O.
Box number that he wanted them sent to in the first place. He
goes on to state that I am no longer eligible for the "fictions
reward." All of this is in answer to postings that prove I was
"sharing" his email with you which in his opinion was a breach
of good manners. His email only had terms and conditions of the
reward which I would consider "public information."

Be that as it may, I would like to state that you had my
permission to post any email I have sent you regarding DDR
including this email.

I'm very sorry that you have to put up with this type of
situation from someone that obviously never intended to
make good on his reward offer in the first place.

I had a call from a friend of mine with a very aggressive
cat. I have loaned her my DDR for a few weeks to see if it
will calm JR down. I will let you know the results. She goes
to the same holistic vet that I go to and he is also interested.

In case Mark does post to the list again I would like to say
that I do very much believe that DDR will help JR as I know
it has helped my dogs and cats. I have entirely too much to
do, to worry about his opinions or reward.

The only reason I was willing to apply for the reward was
on your behalf as I do think your product is a valuable
tool in helping with aggression and other behavior problems.

I am in Feral Cat Network (we spay and neuter approximately
100 feral cats a month), I am also a member of a local AKC
dog obedience club, member of a local AKC agility club,
president of Pet Rescue, board member of the Alliance for
Care and Welfare of Animals (on the board a county
commissioner, vet. rep., rep. from AKC dog club, CFA cat
club, assistant County manager, head of animal control,
director of two different shelters, etc.).

I listed these not to be on an ego trip but to let Mark
know that I am involved with animals and have very little
time to play games with him also I would not recommend your
product if I did not believe in it.

Please feel free to post this email as it has no copyright
on it as did Mark Shaw's last email to me.

Take care Jerry and don't let the Mark's of the world get you down.

Thank you, Elaine. I have been trying to educate
the mark's of this world, with some occasional
successes. I guess that's variable reinforcement?

Yours, Jerry.

Dear Mr. Puppy Wizard,

I have, of late, come to recognize your genius
and now must applaud your attempts to save
animals from painful training procedures.

You are indeed a hero, a man of exceptional talent,
who tirelessly devotes his days to crafting posts
to alert the world to animal abuse.

We are lucky to have you, and more people should
come to their senses and support your valuable work.

Have you thought of establishing a nonprofit
charity to fund your important work?

Have you thought about holding a press conference
so others can learn of your highly worthwhile
and significant work?

In closing, my only suggestion is that you
try to keep your messages short for most
readers may refuse to read a long message
even if it is from the wise, heroic
Puppy Wizard.

I wish you well in your endeavors.

--Marshall Dermer
