Introducing New Dog to Household Cats

Question:

HOWEDY tara o. aka tee, – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Well, as a matter of fact, I did have the impression that Clyde has a pretty high prey drive – why is that? Because he simply loves to chase, catch and "kill" a toy. He would do ANYTHING to get you to throw it for him, so that he can chase, catch and "kill" it – again and again and again. Every dog has *some* level of prey drive.

You mean like HOWE your own DEAD DOG Summer liked to attack children on accHOWENT of you locked IT in a box when the neighbor’s kids came to visit and you jerked and choked her and sprayed aversives in her face to keep IT quiet, tara o. aka tee? Just as every dog has *Some* level of pack drive.

That so? You mean a dog is a dog, tara o. aka tee? For most dogs, the pack drive will supersede the prey drive.

That so? CITES PLEASE? That’s SHEER IDIOCY, tara o. aka tee. You been takin your kid’s anti psychotic medication, tara o. aka tee? My own GSD (R.I.P.) would have chased (and possibly mauled, if not killed) any cat he came across out in public.

On accHOWENT of you didn’t know HOWE to train IT to BE NICE. BUt my own two cats at home were never in any danger from him.

RIGHT. THAT’S on accHOWENT of you CONSTANTLY PUNISHED your dog IN THE HOWES but couldn’t HOWEtside on accHOWENT of you couldn’t HURT and INTIMDIATE IT EVERY TIME pryor to gettin HOWETA CON-TROLL, tara o. aka tee. THAT’S HOWE COME dogs attak their own kats HOWEtside yet won’t, inside… BWEEEEEEEEAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! And he would fetch a ball for HOURS on end without ever purging his desire for the chase. But his pack drive (his desire to work within his "family" was always a more driving force for him than prey.

UNLESS IT WAS A HOWETSIDE KAT <{) ; ~ ) Yet there are dogs who’s prey drive is SO strong that in the event that their drive is triggered, they will redirect their drive onto anything in the immediate vicinity- even their own pack mates- if they are unable to follow through on the chase.

THAT’S CASUED BY MISHANDLING, tara o. aka tee. You’re comparing apples and oranges here.

No tara o. aka tee. You’re CONfHOWENDING your EXXXPERIENCE abuseing your critters with dog’s NORMAL BEHAVIORS. but I wasn’t sure that we all mean the same by "prey drive". the drive to hunt, chase, and kill prey. Like, perhaps, in hunting, chasing and "killing" a toy? Um, only in the way that a parakeet and a falcon are both birds.

That so, tara o. aka tee? Any trainer like LeeCharlesKelley or Canis55 or Brad Parker or Kevin Behan USE TOYS to TRIGGER PRAY DRIVE, tara o. aka tee. You think you can FABRICATE REALITY just on accHOWENT of you got a couple doses of ANTI PSYCHOTIC MEDICATION in you? You know, what I found as most helpful were the magic words "Good boy, Clyde" and "Good girl, Bonnie". that would’ve never occurred to me.

INDEEDY, ON ACCHOWENT OF PRAISING BAD or FEAR BEHAVIORS is ONLY SUMPTHIN The Amazing Puppy Wizard TEACHES HIS 100% CONSISTENTLY NEARLY INSTANTLY SUCCESSFUL FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual Students REPORT SUCCESS DOIN, on accHOWENT of WE DON’T PUNISH CHOKE CRATE BRIBE or INTIMIDATE HOWER DOGS or they END UP DEAD, like your own DEAD DOG Summer. REMEMBER, tara o. aka tee? The amazing part is that, if you praise the dog while he is engaged in something you’d prefer he stopped doing, he actually does stop doing it. First off, she was being droll.

You think Lucky was JOKING, tara o. aka tee? You’re INSANE. We’ve all done a version of that here.

INDEED. Canis55 SEZ THE SAME SAME when his dog comes across a pizza crust in NYC and DOESN’T TAKE IT. Kinda proves dogs LOVE bein DROLL, eh tara o. aka tee? That’s simply using praise as a distraction technique,

No. The PRAISE does NOT DISTRACT tara o. aka tee. The PRAISE REINFORCES the PRYOR CONDITIONING and CHANGES the STATE OF MIND through scientific CONDITIONING, not DROLLNES or HUMOR <{) ; ~ ) which of course *can* work,

Not as you understand it, tara o. aka tee, or you wouldn’t of MURDERED your own DEAD DOG Summer <{) ; ~ ) but it can also end up diluting the force of the praise itself eventually.

THAT’S INSANE. But then if you’re only doing pet dog training

You mean like HOWE you done for your own DEAD DOG Summer? on basically normal dogs, that wouldn’t really cause a problem for

you. BWEEEAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!! Like, we’re walking, and they both stop to inspect some particularly interestingly smelling spot on a tree. You’re in a hurry, but they won’t budge – still researching that spot. You say, "OK, let’s go, we don’t have time", and they don’t even give a sign they heard you – still stuck to the same spot on the tree. Then someone didn’t train THAT correctly if it didn’t work

THAT’S HOWE COME YOU MURDERED YOUR OWN DEAD DOG Summer, tara o. aka tee. But if you just say, "GOOD BOY, Clyde, what a GOOD boy he is! GOOD GIRL, Bonnie, you’re the best!", they both suddenly leave the tree and happily resume walking with you.

That’s correct, but we can’t teach THAT to these lying dog abusing MENTAL CASES who choke shock crate bribe intimidate and MURDER THEIR OWN DOGS, like HOWE you done, tara o. aka tee <{) ; ~ ) Well, that’s pretty much the equivalent of someone saying "I said "Let’s go Fido, we don’t have time" but he didn’t budge, so I pulled out a cookie and suddenly he left the tree and happily resumed walking".

Oh? You mean like HOWE caesar milan "the dog whisperer" done last week on T.V.? It may have worked in the moment,

The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s METHODS WORK ALL THE TIME withHOWET hurting intimdiating bribing crating or MURDERING DOGS like HOWE YOU PREFER, tara o. aka tee <{) ; ~ ) but that doesn’t mean its a good overall method for all…

The ALTERNATIVE is CHOKIN the dog like HOWE YOU DONE to make your own DEAD DOG Summer FEAR AGGRESSIVE of small children DESPITE that she was RAISED WITH THEM in your FAMILY PACK, tara o. aka tee <{) ; ~ ) it also doesn’t mean it isn’t a misuse of a certain tool.

You mean a misuse of PRAISE, tara o. aka tee? BWEEEEEEEEEAAAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!! I don’t know if this occurred to someone else but Jerry – I doubt it, seeing how reluctant people here are about praising bad behavior. Um, are you being dense on purpose.

You seem to not believe EVERY 100% CONSISTENTLY NEARLY INSTANTLY SUCCESSFUL FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual Student who’s ever posted here abHOWETS including LeeCharlesKelly and his NATURAL TRAINING pals. You and I had a LONG debate a few months ago,

Yeah. You was shown up to be a liar a dog abuser and mental case. REMEMBER tara o. aka tee? and we discussed this very thing….among many others?

Let’s DISCUSS your DEAD DOG Summer, tara o. aka tee? I only know that it works,

And all these MENTAL CASES are sayin IT DOESN’T WORK. it works indeed like magic.

INDEEDY. But HOWER DOG LOVERS DON’T LIKE PRAISING BAD BEHAVIORS. It works whether it’s about getting them to stop barking, or stop fearing the thunder,

AS REPORTED by C-HOWENTLES 100% CONSISTENTLY NEARLY INSTANTLY SUCCESSFUL FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual Students RIGHT HERE, like Lucy. You call them LIARS and their posts FORGERIES, you lying dog abusing MENTAL CASE <{) ; ~ ) If you ever tried this on a dog with a genuine phobia (rather than a mere fear)

BWEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA!!! you’d pretty much destroy the dog’s ability to function under those circumstances within a few cycles.

No tara o. aka tee, you’d GET 100% CONSISTENTLY NEARLY INSTANT SUCCESS just like ALL The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s 100% CONSISTENTLY NEARLY INSTANTLY SUCCESSFUL FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual Students REPORT RIGHT HERE. You know, the WONS you call LIARS on accHOWENT of they make you LOOK like a dog abusing mental case. or stop picking things they shouldn’t eat ("Leave it, Clyde, GOOD BOY!" does it, in the rare instances when he finds some irresistible piece of garbage during our walks; he used to pick up almost everything, now – just as Jerry had told me in this very forum that they’d eventually do, both Clyde and Bonnie almost never pick up anything). The can with pennies is NOT intended to be used as any form of punishment – on the contrary, it doesn’t work if it IS used thus. But- AGAIN- you don’t understand what is meant by "punishment".

RIGHT. WE DON’T PUNISH DOGS and INNOCNET CHILDREN <{) ; ~ ) Anything (and I mean ANYTHING) that is used to make the preceding behavior *less likely* is, by its very definition, a punisher.

EXXXACTLY. Distraction DOES NOT MAKE ANYTHING LESS LIKELY, it allHOWES the dog to THINK of the PRAISE, that’s all. The successive interruption of thoughts through PRAISE EXXXTINGUISHES the THOUGH of the undesirable behavior. Even if its only a sound.

The S-HOWEND is NOT to STOP the behavior, it’s to distract a thought so the PRAISE can be heard. It WORKS EVERY TIME, tara o. aka tee, IF you CONDITION the PRAISE and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY <{) ; ~ ) A punisher, in layman’s terms (yours) is usually associated with something that is aversive,

Aversives DO NOT TRAIN or EXXXTINGUISH BEHAIVOR, they DERRANGE behaviors. but in terms of dog training,

You mean the Kind of EXXXPERT DOG TRAININ that caused you to MURDER YOUR OWN DEAD DOG Summer, tara o. aka tee? that is NOT the case.

That so? You mean a PUNISHER is NOT PUNISHMENT when you used it on your DEAD DOG Summer on accHOWENT of you ain’t a "layman" you dog murderin psychopath? A neutral sound is a punisher

Like when the AC kicks on, tara o. aka tee? Or like when you hear the neighbor’s car door close? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Response:

HOWEDY shelly you miserable lying dog abusing mental case, How does one know if one has a dog with a very high prey drive? What are the telling signs?

Some of them chase their tails and spin circles or chase lites. sometimes you don’t.

That so? sometimes, you find out that the dog you thought was trustworthy with cats is not, in fact.

That’s sheer idiocy. sometimes, the cat gets the last word (just ask elliott).

THAT’S THE PROBLEM. You mental cases let your critters train each other and if the don’t you can’t so you SOLVE the problem by avoiding and locking your dogs in boxes. usually, though, it’s the cat who pays for the owner’s blindness and/or ignorance.

That so? You mean like your MENTAL CASE pal kelly aka culprit aka metta’s SEVEN THOWESAND DOLLAR DEAD KAT? Her kat didn’t stand a chance when culprit TRAINED her dogs to her SHOCK BARRIER using the kat as a decoy and then FORGOT to put their collars on WON FINE DAY and let her KILLER DOGS HOWETA their boxes. Kats can defend themselves pretty good most of the time. THAT’S HOWE COME you bums let your critters train each other. THAT and of curse, on accHOWENT of you CAN’T train your own dogs. Your punk thug coward mental case pal leah’s kat has been livin in a box in the spare room for WON YEAR. Her STUDENT’S dogs MURDERED their HOWEsbunny and her GRADUATE STUDENT Rottie who’d been in SOCIALIZATION and OBEDIENCE CLASSES with her since 10 weeks old MURDERED a little innocent dog in the park and TRIED to MURDER his brother, thanks to her TRAININ. hopefully

You mean with a little LUCK, shelly? that will not happen to you,

Probably not, eh shell? but as you do not know how to evaluate prey drive,

We don’t need to EVALUATE dogs to TRAIN THEM using EFFECTIVE SCIENTIFIC and PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONING, shelly. You can evaluate all the THEORY in the world and you STILL ain’t gonna FIGGER IT HOWET on accHOWENT of you bums can’t stop jerking choking bribing and forcing CON-TROLL to compensate for your fragile defective ego’s weak fearful minds and inferiority complexes. And of curse, the FACT that you’re children of abusive parents and THAT’S HOWE COME you HURT INTIMDIATE CRATE SURGICALLY SEXUALLY MUTILATE and MURDER dogs <{); ~ ) i suggest erring on the side of caution.

You mean HURT and INTIMIDATE your dogs, shelly. THAT’S the NATURE of a NATURAL BORN C-HOWEARD, shelly. As about whether a dog wants to kill a cat or not, well, isn’t the whole issue precisely how to make the dog to NOT want to kill the cat? if you don’t know how to recognize or quantify prey drive,

THAT’S SHEER IDIOCY. What you think of as PRAY DRIVE is FEAR and VISUAL ORAL REFLEX and got NUTHIN to do with PREY or DRIVE. how can you gauge the effectiveness of Mr. Howe’s methods in extinguishing it?

On accHOWENT of the CONDITIONING works on ALL DOGS and ALL BEHAVIORS NEARLY INSTANTLY. THAT’S HOWE COME you don’t SEE The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s 100% CONSISTENTLY NEARLY INSTANTLY SUCCESSFUL FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual Students writing in askin for additional FREE heelp, shelly. ALL temperament and behavior problems are CAUSED BY MISHANDLING, not DRIVES and THEORIES abHOWET degrees of FEAR <{) ; ~ ) shelly http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette http://cat-sidh.blogspot.com/ http://letters-to-esther.blogspot.com/ (updated 4/3/05)

"You Lying Sack Of Dung.When Have I Ever Said Anything About Using A Prong Collar, Or Any Collar Correction At All, To Make Dogs Friendly To House Cats? Don’t bother. The answer is never," lying "I LOVE KOEHLER" lynn. lying "I LOVE KOEHLER" lynn writes about kats and dogs: "This Article Is Something We’ve Put Together For SF GSD Rescue How can I get him to quit chasing the cats.

Okay – this is going to be a bit loooong - Lynn K. "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. 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." 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)." Lynn, looks like he got you there if these quotes are true. In the posts below you take responsibility for making those calls. In your post above, you state you do not make those calls. Which one is it? "Granted That The Dog Who Fears Retribution Will Adore His Owner," lying "I LOVE KOEHLER" lynn. lyinglynn writes to a new foster care giver: For barking in the crate – leave the leash on and pass it through the crate door. Attach a line to it. When he barks, use the line for a correction. - if necessary, go to a citronella bark collar. Lynn K. "I used to work the Kill Room as a volunteer in one shelter.) But their ability to set their own schedules and duties causes a great deal of scheduling overhead. And it takes effort and thought to ensure that volunteers get the meaningful experience that they work for. Someone has to be responsible for that Volunteer Program, and it is best done by a non-volunteer." Lynn K. "I worked with one shelter where I bathed and groomed every adoptable dog on intake. I frankly felt that the effort/benefit equation was not balanced for some of the older/ill poodle/terrier mixes we got in badly matted condition. Should I have refused to groom them? Or even more pertinent – I was one of the people who had to make the euthanasia decisions at that shelter." Lynn K. WORDS OF WISDOM from our own Lynn Kosmakos 1200mg of lithium and 50 mg of Zoloft every day For Twenty Years I THINK I’M QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT LITHIUM "I, too, have a bi-polar mood disorder (manic- depression) requiring 1200mg of lithium and 50 mg of Zoloft every day. I, also, care about dogs and use this forum to learn more, while happily sharing pertinent information I have learned. But if I were ever to post such sh*t, I would hope that every other reader of this group would be rightfully outraged." "Community is an evolutionary thing that we earn the right to participate in by observing the easily understood rules and contributing to in constructive ways." Lynn K. "It wasn’t that meds didn’t work for her – she wouldn’t take them. I particularly remember a comment she made about scarey side effects of Lithium. Hardly. After 17 years on it, I think I’m qualified to say that the very low risk of any side effect is far less frightening than the very real dangers of life without it." Lynn K. LYNN K. and LOIS E, and a BiLateral, BiPolar conversation on Mental problems. LYNN AND LOIS Almost 50 years on mental illness medications combined But I think what Lois was referring to was the fact that Darlene actually stated at some point that she was bipolar–and, IIRC, that meds did not work for her–so she was prone to major-league ups and downs and sudden enthusiasms..

"It wasn’t that meds didn’t work for her – she wouldn’t take them. I particularly remember a comment she made about scarey side effects of Lithium. Hardly. After 17 years on it, I think I’m qualified to say that the very low risk of any side effect is far less frightening than the very real dangers of life without it." Lynn K. LYNN K. and the UNQUIET MIND I know I am totally off topic here, but have you read "The Unquiet Mind"?

Yeah. It’s interesting, but kind of watered down for the mass market, if you know what I mean. There’s really quite a lot of good work out there and decent research. Thank God. Lynn K. MOTHER AND CHILD REUNION "KUCKOO!! CUCKOO!!!" MOTHER (LOIS E.) 22 YEARS on TRICYCLICS, DAUGHTER BIPOLAR… YOU DO THE MATH "What’s really terrific, is now days you can say proudly, ‘I take anti-depressives’" BEEN ON TRICYCLICS FOR ABOUT 22 YEARS "I don’t take lithium, but I’ve been on trycyclics for about 22 years. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt to prove it. What’s really terrific, is now days you can say proudly, "I take anti-depressives". Back when I started taking them it was seen as something shameful. If you cut your leg off, and were lying there with a bleeding stump, you’d never let the word

Response:

HOWEDY bizby40, But if you just say, "GOOD BOY, Clyde, what a GOOD boy he is! GOOD GIRL, Bonnie, you’re the best!", they both suddenly leave the tree and happily resume walking with you. dogs with non-english speaking owners are at *such* a disadvantage!

Your PAL shelly is a lying dog abusing mental case, like yourself, bizby40. The Amazing Puppy Wizard overlooked your pryor posts on accHOWENT of you’re an insignifcant blowhard, but NHOWE you’ve attracted the ATTENTION of The Amazing Puppy Wizard, who must NHOWE take a few minutes of HIS valuable time to RESEARCH YOUR OWN POSTED CASE HISTORY and IDENTIFY EXXXPOSE and DISCREDIT you as an ill fit dog and kat owner and parent <{) ; ~ ) but, assuming that the words "good dog" had some sort of intrinsic meaning (they don’t), it still doesn’t make any meaningful difference. when my dogs (who *do* have high prey drive) are on the trail of a critter, they don’t know i exist. it wouldn’t matter if i told them "good dog" or "knock it the hell off" as it’s all the same to them: bupkis. Okay, so you aren’t a Howe fan (me either –

RIGHT. MOST of HOWER DOG LOVERS here are dog abusing mental cases, like yourself, bizby40 <{) ; ~ ) – I’ve got him kill- filed at least a dozen different ways so far),

INDEEDY. THAT’S on accHOWENT of you IDENTIFIED yourself as a dog kat and child abusing mental case, bizby40. Parents of PROBLEM CHILDREN PARTICULARLY HATE The Amazing Puppy Wizard for TEACHING THEM HOWE COME they GOT DYSFUNCTIONAL MENTALLY ILL CHILDREN, like yours FOR EXXXAMPLE, bizby40 <{) ; ~ ) but you’re being ridiculous here.

INDEED? PERHAPS your new anti psychotic medication is kickin in? Better watch HOWET for the side effects, bizby40. The Amazing Puppy Wizard JUST SEZ NO! to prescription anti psychotic psychotropic pharmacuticals, bizby40 <{) ; ~ ) She didn’t say to say, "good boy" or "good girl". She said to say "GOOD BOY" or "GOOD GIRL". I’m sure you could also say, "POPSICLE, Clyde, what a POPSICLE you are!" As long as you have the tone and enthusiasm.

AND so long as you’ve FOLLOWED THE CONDITIONING techniques that work equaly well on ALL critters AS TAUGHT in your FREE COPY of The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual. The WON you DON’T LIKE on accHOWENT of you IDENTIFY YOURSELF as a DOG and KAT and CHILD ABUSER when you read it, JUST LIKE HOWE the rest of these MENTAL CASES have done, bixby40 <{) ; ~ ) If you don’t agree that praising them when they are misbehaving is a good idea, then address that.

She DID, bizby40. SHE SAID IT DOESN’T WORK on accHOWENT of she don’t know the METHOD, no doGgamened better than you do. But don’t nitpick about the words she used when you know what she

meant. THAT’S the NATURE of HOWER DOG ABUSING MENTAL CASES, bixby40. THAT and NOT ANSWERIN The Amazing Puppy Wizard when HE makes you HOWET to be a dog kat and child abuser <{) ; ~ ) Over-the-top praise is a very common and well accepted way to reinforce good behaviors –

Yeah? And it likeWIZE works for EXXXTINGUISHING behaivors, but you gotta know HOWE or you’ll end up postin here tellin folks who hurt intimidate and murder dogs HOWE to DO IT RIGHT. – regardless of the actual words spoken.

Words, bizby40? Let’s take a LOOK-SEE at some of YOUR OWN WORDS: Bizby

Here’s a few EXXXCERPTS from your own posted CASE HISTORY, bizby. Seems you’re as INEFFECTIVE as a PARENT as you are miserably ill prepared to care for and protect your pets: My 9YO scares me sometimes. She’s quite mouthy and rebellious even at this age. I don’t tolerate the behavior. I don’t give in. But each year she gets a little harder to control. Bizby PERHAPS she’s LEARNED HOWETA CON-TROLL behavior from her ABUSIVE MOMMY and DADDY, bizby. THAT’S HOWE DOGS LEARN FEAR AGGRESSION. LIKE THIS, you freakin imbcile: Charlene, I don’t really have any excellent advice to give you. I’m just struck at how different we are. When I perceive someone to be mean to my kids, all reason goes out the window, and I enter "Mama Bear" protective mode. Just the other day for example, DS was at baseball practice. The kids were standing in line waiting for their turn to catch, and the boy behind DS grabbed his hair and yanked his head backwards. I happened to be standing right next to DS at the time, and so without thinking, I grabbed the boy’s wrist, looked him straight in the eye and said, "That was really mean. I don’t want to see you do that again." Only *afterwards* did it occur to me that *his* mom might take exception to what I’d done. I know the Mama Bear in me wouldn’t like seeing another woman holding DS’s arm and speaking sternly to him. But at the time it was all instinct. So, I guess the best is somewhere in between the two of us. And for that, I agree with Ericka’s excellent advice! Bizby OR PERHAPS it’s on accHOWENT of your HYPOCRICY, bizby?: Then DD said, "Well, I don’t know if I want her as a friend anymore anyway." And she told me that the girl can get physical when she’s angry. She said one time this girl was mad and grabbed her by the arm and yanked her around, somehow leaving scratches on DD’s arm, and sending DD to the clinic. I was quite surprised because I’ve never seen this kind of tendancy in this girl. I was also surprised that DD didn’t mention it when it happened, and that the school didn’t notify me when it happened. I tried to get more info out of DD, but you know how it is with kids. As soon as she realized that I thought this was *important* she started hedging and mumbling. She said the girl usually only yells when she’s angry, but will occasionally push her or yank her. She said she’s not afraid of this girl though. The girl outweighs DD by 20-30 pounds, so if she’s really trying to intimidate her or beat up on her, I think DD would be scared. I asked DD if she’d ever hit this other girl, and she mumbled that she may have pushed her one time. My question is this — apparently they are friends again, and DD wants to have her over this week. Should I allow it? Bizby Looks like you can’t HOWEtwit the cunning of a child, eh biz? I have two kids, DD 9 and DS 6. DD has always been a high-strung kid. I swear it started with her colic when she was a baby. Since then, every year or year and a half, we’ve gone through a rough period. Though it manifests itself differently as she grows, the common thread seems to be that she loses control of her emotions and can’t seem to rein them in. At 2 she would just have a total meltdown and lay on the floor screaming. At 9, I get a lot more attitude and backtalk. I am honestly a bit scared of the years to come. DS on the other hand, has always been more easy-going. He may get caught up in fights with his sister, but on his own, he pretty much never loses control. And if he does, it’s almost always sad instead of mad, and he goes off to be by himself without being told. Bizby Seems you MISHANDLE your children JUST LIKE HOWE you MISHANDLE your critters: Well, there are too many cats killed by dogs for that to be universally true…. I once had only a cat. When I got the puppy, the cat immediately established her dominance. Over the course of the next several years, there were several more scuffles — nothing serious enough that I needed to get involved in. By the end of it, the dog was firmly on top and was never challenged again. Fast forward — cat dies, new cat. Dog immediately put this one in it’s place, and there it has stayed. Bizby THAT’S INSANE, biz. Mine are almost 3 years apart and different sexes, but I still have this problem. DD(9) is *much* more likely to complain and be grumpy and jealous then DS(6). She gets really upset when he comes home from a party with a goody bag. It’s not "fair" when his class has a party and hers doesn’t. Recently I took her out shopping and instead of being happy about the cool stuff she got, she ended up angry about the one thing I didn’t get her. Unlike with Lisa’s child, this is not a phase for DD, it seems to be her innate personality. She is completely convinced that the world isn’t fair — to her. I can’t count the number of family outings that have turned sour when she got all out of sorts about something. I wish I could tell you Lisa, that something had "worked" for us, but nothing really has. We do, of course, refuse consistently to buckle under when she’s like this. And I don’t entertain whines that start with "it’s not fair". I just say, "No one ever said life was fair, babe." I try to talk to her *before* we do things. Remind her that she needs to "keep it together" until we get home no matter what happens. It seems to go in phases — sometimes worse, sometimes better. I’ll be watching the responses to this to see if there are ideas I haven’t tried. And I’ll hope for you, Lisa, that in your case this really is just a phase and that it passes quickly. Bizby BWEEEEEEEEEAAAAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!! When my second child was born, I was way overwhelmed. He was actually a very good and easy-going baby, but my daughter, 2y9m old, was *very* clingy and whiny and in need of massive amounts of attention. It got bad enough that I went to a few "under 5s" counseling sessions. I can’t say that they helped much except to convince me that jealousy really was the underlying cause of her behavior problems. I hadn’t thought so since she wasn’t acting out against the baby. How bad did it get? Well, she took to peeing on her floor if she was mad at me. And once or twice she completely trashed her room. I was really at my wits end. I’m telling you this because it’s easy to think "hundreds of millions of people all over the world have more than … read more »

Response:

HOWEDY shelly, Because he simply loves to chase, catch and "kill" a toy. He would do ANYTHING to get you to throw it for him, so that he can chase, catch and "kill" it – again and again and again. that may indicate a potential for prey drive,

You might call it EVIDENCE of PRAY DRIVE, shelly. but it’s no guarantee.

You mean on accHOWENT of you don’t know the difference between PRAY DRIVE and VISUAL ORAL REFLEX, shelly. It’s all in your FREE COPY of The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual <{) ; ~ ) there are plenty of dogs who will chase and corner critters, but will not follow through.

THAT’S VISUAL ORAL REFLEX in AXXXION, shell <{) ; ~ ) You say, "OK, let’s go, we don’t have time", and they don’t even give a sign they heard you – still stuck to the same spot on the tree. of course. if you haven’t taught them a "chop, chop" cue, then you can hardly expect them to respond to one, eh?

Your "chop chop" is a DIRECTIVE which can be REFUSED. The dog CANNOT REFUSE to respond to his CONDITIONED PRAISE, shelly. But if you just say, "GOOD BOY, Clyde, what a GOOD boy he is! GOOD GIRL, Bonnie, you’re the best!", they both suddenly leave the tree and happily resume walking with you.

INDEEDY. On accHOWENT of we’ve presented sumpthin MOORE INTERESTING than a "CHOP CHOP" command, shelly you miserable lyin dog abusing mental case <{) ; ~ ) dogs with non-english speaking owners are at *such* a disadvantage!

No worse off than any illiterate dumb critter, shelly. LUCKY THING most of you lying dog abusing punk thug coward mental cases are UNIVERSITY TRAINED descartean dog abusing cretins <{) ; ~ ) but, assuming that the words "good dog" had some sort of intrinsic meaning (they don’t),

Well the DO shelly, AFTER WE CONDITION them. It’s kinda like a REFLEX. it still doesn’t make any meaningful difference.

NOT UNLESS YOU FOLLOW THE CONDITIONING INSTRUCTIONS in your FREE COPY of The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual like all the decent people like Lucy you call LIARS and their posts FORGERIES by The Amazing Puppy Wizard in order to DEFEND your alleged RIGHT to HURT INTIMDIATE BRIBE CRATE and MURDER dogs as you thugs PREFER. when my dogs (who *do* have high prey drive)

No, your dogs do not have HIGH PRAY DRIVE shelly. Your dogs are FEAR AGGRESSIVE and HYPERACTIVE from REPRESSION <{) ; ~ ) are on the trail of a critter, they don’t know i exist.

The OBJECTIVE is to COMMAND the dog’s DESIRE to WANT to do anything you ask on accHOWENT of WHATE EVER WE WANT is MOORE APPEALING to HOWER dogs than any DISTRACTION nature can provide, it all comes under the PACK RULES for HUNTING and other psychological factors. You got no idea what you’re talkin abHOWET. it wouldn’t matter if i told them "good dog"

It wouldn’t, not if you never CONDITIONED the dog as per THE INSTRUCTIONS in your FREE COPY of The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual. or "knock it the hell off"

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.

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 coulddo 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. Kay – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text —— Original Message —– Dear Jerry, Just thought I would write to let you know how well Hunter is doing. He had been trained using the conventional methods for obedience. He had gotten used to a choker and a pinch collar. Alot of pain and a lot of jerking around. I had also tried using positive reinforcement methods that I had been trained in. He was so busy looking for the treat that he didn’t really want to work. So I went back to using the pinch collar on him and also a gentle leader when we were in public. Slowly by degrees his behavior got worse and he did deserve his reputation as a vicious dog. The vet had recommended that he be put down. I was in a panic when I found your web site. Thanks! He is now the happy dog that I first started out with 5 years ago. I am a professional trainer and it was distressing to me that I could not help my own dog. I had been told that some dogs don’t respond to any kind of training and that a vicious dog can never be trusted again. I disagree! Hunter is a sight hound and now I can take him with me and he doesn’t chase cars as much anymore which is one of his main problems. We are working on the dog aggression thing. And I am confident that will be successful too. I also have your BIOSOUND machine and that too is working good. I know of several rescue groups that would benefit from it. This is rather long I know but it comes from the heart. My Head Hunter Green and I have together along time and have been through so much together. Thank you for helping me save his life. Kay Pierce —– Original Message —– Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 2:22 PM 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 aggression 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.

My oldest how ever was not trained that way I am ashamed to say. The result a very dangerous dog. He has problems with barrier and dominance aggression. A year ago he put a hole in my leg that took weeks to heal. When the vet and all of my friends advocated putting him down I found Jerry’s website. I was looking for a natural way to calm my dog and train him all over again as well. You say Jerry is a jerk well I have talked to him on the phone and consulted him about his training methods. I really grilled him before I even considered using his methods. He loves dogs. Using his methods my Head Hunter is now a very sweet dog. I get kisses instead of growls. When he growls or even looks like he is going to bark I tell him what a good dog he is and right away he shuts up, looks at me like I’m nuts. But doesn’t try to eat anyone. I am happy to say that the vet thinks I have him on major drugs. I don’t! I still use a muzzle on him when I have to take him to iffy places. But hey, I know he is now a sugar.

I certainly reject "force" as Marilyn defines it. And "fear" can be included under the category of intimidation. Not a one of these is constructive in the training of a dog; all are bad for the dog/handler relationship, the dog’s confidence, the dog’s ultimate potential, etc. But I do make use of tools and methods which I believe to cause physical discomfort, including electric collars, pinch collars, chain collars, switches, and the ear pinch. I just don’t equate the reaction with the tool/method–I look at the dog to know its reaction. I think that is what some people don’t do: they are so full of surmises about what causes what, that they never bother to regard the dog as the authority. I don’t beat dogs, twist ears, or pinch toes. For the benefit of anyone who is in doubt, and who chooses not to read the article (SHE’D REALLY LIKE IT IF YOU DON’T READ IT!), there is NO mention in it of "twisting ears (INDEED, SHE PINCHES THEM WITH SPIKES). I would never slap a dog (SHE TEACHES PEOPLE TO BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS TO MOTIVATE THEM). I would never advise anyone to slap a dog (SHE’S A PROVEN LIAR AND DOG ABUSER, do you expect her to ADMIT THE TRUTH???). I do not believe there is a single circumstance, ever, where slapping a dog is anything but destructive." RIGHT. She PINCHES, not twists… and chin cuff doesn’t mean hit, it means slap. amy lyingfrosty dahl continues: "On the other extreme, the really hard dogs we have trained require much more frequent and heavy application of pressure (PAIN j.h.) to get the job done, This is continued resistance to your increasing authority, and the job is not done until it is overcome Get a stick 30- or 40-inches long. You can have a helper wield the stick, or do it yourself. Tougher, less tractable dogs may require you to progress to striking them more sharply. With your hand on the collar and ear, say, ‘fetch.’ Immediately tap the dog on the hindquarters with the stick. Repeat "fetch" and pinch the ear all the way to the dummy. Repeat, varying how hard you hit the dog, Now you are ready to progress to what most people think of as force-fetching: the ear pinch. Make the dog’s need to stop the pinching so urgent that resisting your will fades in importance. but will squeal, thrash around, and direct their efforts to escaping the ear pinch You can press the dog’s ear with a shotshell instead of your thumb; even get a studded collar and pinch the ear against that Say "fetch" while pressing the dummy against its lips and pinching its ear. if the dog still does not open its mouth, get out the shotshell. Try pinching the ear between the metal casing and the collar, even the buckle on the collar. Persist! Eventually, the dog will give in" sinofabitch writes: What I have said- repeatedly – is that he took posts from two different people, took pieces of them out of context, cobbled them together, then added his own words:

I have been reading these forums for a few weeks now, and am getting really confused!! but is there actually anyone who has used the methods in this manual with any success ?

100% TOTAL NON PHYSICAL CONTROL, NEARLY INSTANTLY, BY NEARLY EVERY FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual Student. It’s the GENTLEST, FASTEST, MOST EFFECTIVE,NON FORCE, NON CONFRONTATIONAL, NON BRIBE, SCIENTIFIC and PSYCHOLOGICAL technique in the Whole Wild World, BAR NONE. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I am wanting to get a rhodesian ridgeback soon and really would like to know the best and most effective way of training without using food treats or violence (i do agree with what the guy says about food treats and violence) Thanks for any intelligent replies I have tried his methods and found them extremely effective. There are several areas in particular I found useful. He teaches you and the dog to pay attention to each other all the time. He teaches you to have such good communication with your dog you don’t need leash corrections or shock collars or even food, you can get the dogs attention any time you like by calling it or with a snap of your fingers. When I trained both my dogs to "heel" or walk close to me I ended up going to the parks and teaching them without a lead at all, that ensured I had to use good communication and was unable to be tempted to use the lead to correct them. Another part of the training I agree with is not using the "policeman" approach, where you tell a dog "no" or react with it in such a way that you become involved in the behaviour (by trying to stop it), this approach often results in a dog ceasing the behaviour when you are about but doing it when you aren’t (bin raiding, counter surfing etc). Basically you are taught to make your dog a good friend who likes and wants to work for you for the pleasure of working for you (setting the hierarchy is included in this), teach it to recall reliably, then to do everything else (sit, stay down etc etc). Unwanted behaviours are addressed as they occur. If you understand what you are trying to achieve and are prepared to work with it you can get great results. Paul

I think that’s a bad outcome –

Yeah. But YOUR DOGS are KAT AGGRESSIVE and THERE AIN’T NO BEHAVIOR PROBLMES with The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s GREEN TRAINED Student’s dogs. HOWE COME? BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!! ON ACCHOWENT OF WE DON’T HURT INTIMIDATE BRIBE CRATE AND MURDER HOWER DOGS, malinda you freakin lyin dog abusing mental case <{) ; ~ ) the cat’s welfare is a lot more important than whether or not Jerry’s fan club adds a new member.

BWEEEEEEEEEAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!! You mean, LIKE THIS WON?: Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 5:45 AM If you have read the newsgroup posts then you must already have a good idea about what I think. His methods are the best I have come across. They aren’t a quick fix but an entire training concept so if you aren’t in for the long haul then don’t bother. If you go his way then you have to forget all the other gibberish that other people spew, you have to believe in what you are doing, then and only then will you get the results. You can’t combine his methods with other training methods, not until you understand what you are trying to achieve, and even then I have only ever combined about 2 other trainers ideas and even then just a snip of what they suggest which works in parallel with the Wits End concept. His methods make you as the trainer completely responsible for your actions, his methods make you think and work out your own solutions for any given situation, the default (the recall) is always there to get things under control again. His ideas and concepts teach you to work with the dog, to develop a team and a willingness to work together which is surely the best way to be. His methods don’t use force or intimidation but they do totally emphasize the absolute importance of pack (family pack) structure, without that you can achieve almost nothing. If you are wondering how a dog can be trained without any negativity the answer lies in the recall, anytime your dog doesn’t follow through with a request you

HOWEDY racetrack silly, Prey drive is hard-wired,

You mean, you CAN’T TRAIN IT, racetrak silly? and what you’re doing with a really high prey drive dog is trying to rewire the dog.

THAT’S THE EZIEST DOG TO TRAIN, racetrack silly. THAT’S HOWE COME dogs TRAIN SO EZ, racetrack silly. I think it can be done in limited circumstances.

You mean if your GET LUCKY. I’ve gone from a situation in which I had 4 Siberians living in harmony with 2 cats to a situation in which I’ve got 6 Siberians and 2 cats in the same house.

Kinda CONTRADICTS your "HARD WIRED" IDIOCY, don’t it. I think one of the issues here is that

That you and your punk thug coward MENTAL CASE pals HURT INTIMDIATE and MURDER dogs and LIE abHOWET it. bringing two high prey drive dogs into the house

You mean the kinds that CAN’T BE TRAINED on accHOWENT of their PRAY DRIVE is "HARD WIRED." BWEEEEEEEEEAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!! at the same time allows them to reinforce each others’ behavior, while in a situation with one new dog the new dog tends to cue off the dogs that are already there.

You mean ALLELOMIMETIC and PACK BEHAVIOR, racetrack silly. I’m modestly hopeful for the future but

But it DEPENDS on SHEER BLIND DUMB STUPID LUCK and YEARS of EXXXPERT PROFESSIONAL TRAININ. LIKE THIS: "After Numerous Training Classes, Behavioral Consultations, And Hundreds Of Dollars In Vet Bills, I Killed My Dalmatian Several Years Ago Due To Extreme Dog-Aggressiveness." THAT’S YOU, racetrack silly <{); ~ ) MOST of HOWER DOG LOVERS have MURDERED their own DEAD DOGS on accHOWENT of they COULDN’T STOP HURTIN THEM. I’m not counting on anything, either.

INDEEDY. Better stay on your ANTI PSYCHOTIC MEDS, you CAN C-HOWENT on THEM, racetrack silly <{) ; ~ ) So, for the time being, the upstairs is closed off during the day so the cats can be safe up there and Crow and Eclipse are crated at night.

BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHAHAHAHAHHHAAAAA!!! I was going to ask how cat things were coming with Crow and Eclipse.

BWEEEEEEEEEEAAAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!! I agree that it can sometimes be done in some circumstances with lots of supervision and a safety zone for the cats.

THAT’S ABSURD. IME dogs reinforce each others’ behavior

That so? You mean, it’s EZIER to TRAIN TWO dogs at WON time than WON at a time, on accHOWENT of they COPY EACH OTHER, racetrack silly. when chasing or otherwise trying to get a cat –

THAT’S when your dogs COPY YOU goin NUTS tryin to STOP THEM from actin like YOU, racetrack silly. – pack mentality sets in –

Yeah. – but not the opposite.

RIGHT! That’s on accHOWENT of you make them AGGRESSIVE. I’ve never seen a new dog, Greyhound or Siberian, cue? off the other dogs to leave a cat alone.

RIGHT! You CAN’T SEE a NON BEHAVIOR, you freakin mental case. Most of my experience is with ex-racing Greyhounds,

You HURT INTIMDIATE and MURDER dogs FOR PROFIT. which were bred to hunt in packs,

IMAGINE? but they’re not that different from Siberians when it comes to pack issues.

You mean on accHOWENT of a DOG IS A DOG. (People often think that Greyhounds and Siberians are an odd breed combination,

THAT SO? but temperamentally they are really very similar,

On accHOWENT of A DOG IS A DOG, DOG ABUSER. and get along quite well.)

OR YOU’LL MURDER THEM. Also, with sighthounds, the chase can be almost impossible to extinguish

THAT’S INSANE. even if the dog doesn’t do anything when it catches the cat.

You can EXXXTINGUISH the "chase instinct" by NOT HURTING your dog and FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS in your FREE COPY of The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual <{); ~ ) One of my Greyhounds, who was very cat keen 10 years ago

Took you ten years to make IT "safe" with kats. but now is reliable unsupervised around the cats,

THAT SO? stilloccasionally takes off after a cat in the house,

BWEEEEEEEEEAAAAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!! SUCCESS? at least for a few steps.

TILL YOU HURT and INTIMDIATE him. And Robin the Whippet often chases a cat (and catches up to it, and passes by it, and turns around and comes back).

That’s curiHOWES, ain’t it, CONSIDERIN his PRAY DRIVE would ONLY BE SATISFIED if he ATE HIS PRAY. IOW, you’re full of crap. This is forbidden behavior here,

INDEEDY! THAT’S HOWE COME your dogs DO IT when YOU AIN’T STANDING THERE READY TO HURT and INTIMDIATE them someMOORE, you dog abusing MENTAL CASE <{) ; ~ ) THAT’S HOWE COME dogs who know kats in their HOWESES will ATTACK the SAME KAT HOWETside his HOWES, on accHOWENT of he AIN’T BEEN ABUSED CONSISETENTLY HOWEtside with the same kat like he was indide with his ABUSER constantly THREATENING HURTING CRATING and INTIMIDATING IT <{); ~ ) of course, but sometimes they can’t resist.

You mean on accHOWENT of YOU MAKE THE DOG FEAR AGGRESSIVE. Mustang Sally

FORBIDDEN FRUIT Hello suja,

I had posted about her before, but we’ve recently come to know that my friend’s foster GSD is a feces eater.

Well, you’re in LUCK. That’s a EZ problem to fix if you ask my studnts Paul and Marty who broke their dog’s coprophagia in a few minutes over a couple of days. Your pals told them they couldn’t cure it only manage it unless they WANTED to HURT their dogs MOORE than they’d LIKE. They told them they were pigs cause they didn’t pick up their yards and keep the dogs on leash at the park and pick up neighbor’s dogs poo before you walk your dog and pick up your yard as soon as they relieve themselves at midnite and 6 a.m. and don’t listen to Jerry cause he’s never seen a dog and his methods are DANGEROUS. She came to us 10 days ago, 20 lb. underweight, unhousetrained and very afraid of people.

And now it’s outta the pot and into the fire. I think I’d rather see her take her chances at the pound. She has made some progress, and is starting to look for affection from her foster mom. Her upset tummy has settled down as well, and she is eating 1 cup of Canidae, 4x a day. Any suggestions on keeping her from eating the feces?

Nope. I don’t give suggestions and tips. I give effective methods that will cure this and most behavior problems in just a few minutes over a couple of days without ever touching your dog. She might have started doing it because she was so underfed in her previous home.

Not likely. Most coprophagia is a result of inappropriate HOWESbreaking attempts. Most dogs eat poo to HIDE the evidence so they don’t get punished. That’s HOWE COME just telling the dog NO is enough to be problematical. Everything you think you know about dogs and behavior is DEAD WRONG. Is there any chance that she’d stop it on her own once she isn’t feeling so starved?

Not likely cause now she’s paranoid about it, like marybeth’s dogs eat poo right outta each other’s butts so marybeth won’t outstep them. Foster mom is very diligent about picking up poop

Think allelomimetic behavior, suj. (both the foster’s and her own dog’s), but she is quite literally eating the stuff before it hits the ground.

Because of someone’s efforts to physically stop them. That’s HOWE COME telling dogs NO makes you a PEER or COMPETITOR in their behaviors like stealing trash or counter surfing. Every time you give an "effective" correction you teach the dog to be moore vigilant to get the FORBIDDEN FRUIT as soon as the POLICEMAN goes BYE BYE!!! "When the kat’s away…." She is being treated for whip/round worms, so it is extremely important that she doesn’t keep reinfecting herself.

That can be tricky… better SUPERVISE her. BWWWAHAHAHAAAA!! We haven’t tried adding anything to the dogs’ food to make it less appetizing –

You’re a imbecile, suj. Figger it out. IF the dog is doing this to hide the evidence what makes you think that making it taste like $#!T is going to mean MOORE to her than avoiding a beating for messin? Your pal blackman’s web site sez to add MSG flavor enhancer to the diet, but that’s a ERROR. It’s supposed to be bromelaine or papaine, the ingredients in unseasoned meat tenderizer, a digestive enzyme… BUT, to ENHANCE the experience, blackmans’s site also recommends cutting poo in half lengthwise and filling it with HOT SAUCE. Talk about top shelf gourmet dining. Every time I try to cut a loaf of shit in half I accidentally pinch it and get HOT SAUCE on my fingers and we share. afraid the foster’s tummy would get upset again,

Eating poo is relatively harmless and normal. But it’s a SNAP to break. Your pals called my students LIARS when they reported their success using my PROVEN EFFECTIVE methods. and would cause the resident dog’s allergies to act up.

HOWE COME our dog lovers always think of using aversives and confinement and pain instead of behavior conditioning techniques? Oh, I forgot. They’re dog lovers and wouldn’t want to do anything STUPID like listen to Jerry and the dozens of his successful student’s he’s trained HERE and from sittin RIGHT HERE, stark ravin nekkid. Saying ‘no’ doesn’t work.

Yeah? It did. It worked against you. Now it’s harder to set the dog up to interrupt the behavior casue you’re associated as an aversion. Nice move. The EZiest behavior to break is one that’s CONSISTANT, cause we can make it happen when we’re prepared to work on it till it’s broken. Jumping is a good example. She screams if she hears a raised voice,

And you won’t beieve she eats poo cause she’s trying to hide it? even one that isn’t directed at her.

That’s HOWE COME we should always behave ourselves appropriately. Yelling and punishing are not appropriate … read more »

HOWEDY racetrack silly, The method and its author are not exactly popular around here, but everything that Jerry says in his manual and in his posts has proved to be true for my two dogs.

The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual Students NEVER FAIL to NEARLY INSTANTLY TRAIN ALL dogs and ALL behaviors withHOWET HURTIN BRIBING CRATING or AVOIDING behaviors, racetrack silly. You’ve got a VERY LONG posted case history of HURTING and MURDERING dogs: "After Numerous Training Classes, Behavioral Consultations, And Hundreds Of Dollars In Vet Bills, I Killed My Dalmatian Several Years Ago Due To Extreme Dog-Aggressiveness." If you tried Jerry’s stuff with a dog with a very high prey drive, you’d end up with a dead cat.

THAT’S INSANE.

Keeping a dog that doesn’t want to kill a cat from killing a cat is not a Nobel-level accomplishment.

BWEEEEEEEEEAAAHAHAHAHHAAAA!!! Hello I have two mungrel females; the breeds exactly are Blue Heeler spots) x Kelpi (dominant genes) x American Pitbull (behavioural) x Pug don’t laugh!). They are gentle loving dogs when I’m at home with them, and they are riendly with unknown people. They are sisters. One is obviously ominant over the other, and I don’t have a problem with that, however; Their behaviour is very odd. Some days they are very good whilst I’m walking them, some days they are not. They are 3 years old and have only been walking for about 12 months because my mom didn’t walk them and now I’m home so I walk them for about an hour and half every afternoon. I take them to the park where they chase birds and swim in the lake. This is my problem : The less-dominant dog viscously barks at every other dog we walk past; I have tried using a stick and giving her a tap when she does it, and treating her with treats when she doesn’t, using a choke chain, a muzzle and a thing that sprays stuff in her mouth when she barks. She won’t stop! Does anyone know how I can stop her? ] Also, the more-dominant dog seems to know this is WRONG, when the other dog barks, she doesn’t bark, but she nips at the other dog as if telling her to cut it out, and then the barking one attacks the more-dominant one and they fight on the leash… it is quite disturbing to the people walking past. And also the more-dominant one is okay around other dogs… SOMETIMES… sometimes she completely ignores them, and yet other times she will attack them, like yesterday. The less dominant one I must keep on a leash if a person brings there dog to the park. How do I stop them attacking other dogs? I have tried all the methods I have used above for 10 months every afternoon. Is it just a pack behaviour thing? It can really be quite embarrassing when your dogs attack some old lady’s or little girl’s dog. They are good dogs, when at home or when there are no other dogs around. Today there were hundreds of sparrows flying around the park and they were chasing them and jumping up trying to catch them for more than 90 minutes (They went straight to bed when I bought them home!). Can anyone help me? Email me at my emails address, Thanks, Nevyn

Hi There Jerry Its Nevyn. Sorry Ive not been posting, but I’ve been working weekend work at the tracks with the greyhounds (thanks to you!). Well my dogs are the envy of all on my street. I can have them out in the yard with me, take them walking without a leash, they will do any command with no hesitation. And they don’t bark anymore! Thanks to your machine! Oh yeah, I loaned your machine to several friends and family — Here are some reports: "I would say my dogs are well trained, but they suffer severe anxiety when no body is home. This machine quietened them almost instantly – still they barked, in the beginning, but just one or two barks. Then slowly they just stopped… beginning to bark, then instantly stopping. It took only 2 weeks, and we did nothing. Truly amazing; I have recommomeded it to my family, and perhaps they will buy one. Its a shame you don’t sell them publicly". — Kylie, 30, on dogs Lili (11 yr mutt bitch) and Sheeba (4 yr Rotty X) "My two dogs barked insanely when someone would go past.

Alison is a CONGENITAL IDIOT, LIAR and DOG ABUSER… The Amazing Puppy Wizard <{) ; ~ ) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – My husband and I have been visiting the SPCA and found a dog we like (http://tinyurl.com/cjjb3 -that’s his profile on PetFinder.com). We have two cats right now – a skittish tuxedo cat (4 years) & a braver patched tabby with white (3 years). He is a lovely dog and but are you sure he is the right dog for your situation? Do you have much experience with dogs? As Janet has alrerady said , you’ll have to keep him on a leash and under control and have a safe room for your two cats. You can buy a Feliway diffuser and plug it in their room . This might help then deal with the stress. Alison

HOWEDY Chris, janet is WON of the LYING DOG ABUSING MENTAL CASES who CHOKES SHOCKS and MURDERS dogs and LIES abHOWET IT:

He was next to me and I could see his neck muscles pulsing. He didn’t even blink an eye. Janet Boss

I can’t imagine needing anything higher than a 5 with it, even with an insensitive dog like a Lab.

An INSENSITIVE DOG??? I can’t remember what model of Innotek I have, but I had apointer ignore a neck-muscle-pulsing 9.

while walking backwards

Anyway, contrary to your PR, this is what it felt like to me when I got shocked by Hope’s collar. It felt like a bomb going off in my hand and forearm.

how effective are these electronic fences in keeping a dog on a property????

Some run through it. Others get shocked and become too scared to go out in the yard anymore. Just heard of a guy that has to rehome his dog, because the dog got caught right in the path of the shock and will now not go near his person, won’t go outside. Just hides under a desk in the house.
