Drooling is a SYMPTOM of a heelth or behavior problem. JUST LIKE BARKING. They're NOT just "annoyances" or nuisances. Of curse, MOST EXXXPERTS attribute barking drooling flatuance and most other observations of dog behavior and heelth as attributes of breed types or "pedigree ines" or vague unpronouncible names describing a multitude of system functions and dysfunctions and their relative downline of advantages and anticipated potentia system errors generally attributed to "Big Blue" or "Bill Gates" or "Outhouse Express's" conspiracy to disadvantage competitors by not cooperating in an harmonious way with others, i.e., a COMMUNICATION problem. Like barking, or PRAY DRIVE, for EXXXAMPLE. > however, there's a lot to be said for 150-lb > "WOOF! WOOF!" guard dogs left alone and untrained. That's a non sequiter, rmjon23. Aggressive dogs do not necessarily protect pupperty, only themselves. ALL AGGRESSION IS FEAR. ALL FEAR IS CAUSED BY MISHANDLING. Commercial K-9 companies search high and low to find sufficiently aggressive dogs to work their yard dog accounts. Often they don' have enough dogs capable to work an account, so they start the new accounts off with their best dogs and swap them with a ringer after the client has been lulled into a false sense of security. Kinda like the chronic heelth problems caused by low level intermittent stress from being told "NO!" just a few times per week. That's ALL IT TAKES for some dogs. On the other hand, some of us seem to THRIVE under pressure, so judging by THOSE standards the sensitive dog lovers OVERLOOK the OBVIOUS, perpaps due to it's SIMPLICITY.. If it's mishandling that makes little yippy dogs yip and untrained yard dogs WOOF and is responsible for 90% of the heelth and DIS-EASES treated by veterinarians, including barking, drooling, drives, seizures, neuropathies, mylopathies, neuralgias, chronic ear infections, viruses, "itises", even paralysis dental DIS-EASE, then we should be able to scan the handling and correct the inapupriate progaming and restor the system to perfect heelth, provided the SYMPTOMS haven't disabled the hard drives. Great effort is invested in seeking DIAGNOSES. Seems that calling particular subsets of trendy symptoms classy sounding names like ADD or ADHD or WHATEVER and to set up and give a standard of treatments and care for known symtoms like Cushings, Addisons, Lupus, Sclerosis, whatever it's ALL the same same. The only difference is, the symptoms are wearing diffrent hats and are identified and treated according to the hat the system malfunctions are wearing. The most dangerous dogs are SILENT till they attack. Just like DIS-EASES. The symptoms take a long while to manifest AFTER the DIS-EASE has been attackin the systems. IOW, if dental DIS-EASE were CAUSED by poor brushing habits would it be reasonable to think missing WON brushing would cause a TOOTHACHE? Who's to say for sure? Obviously missing a brushing or two isn't going to cause pyoreah. HOWEver, who's to say IT DIDN'T??? Perhaps that WON time was the straw that broke the camel's back? So, whoat? > Ultimately, I know, there are - as Babs Woodhouse babs woodhouse jerks and chokes dogs. Jerking and choking dogs makes them AFRAID and anxious. THAT'S what MAKES them little YIPPY dogs YIP and untrained yard dogs WOOF inapupriately. Even just tellin dogs "NO!" occasionally or locking them in a crate or even just leaving them alone for short periods can trigger barking, drooling, seizures, self mutilation, warts, car sickness, fear of thunder, and the whole list of iatrogenic / idiopathic degenerative DIS-EASES, like tooth decay, pimples, flatuance, for EXXXAMPLE. It doesn't take much STRESS of ANY kind to disable otherWIZE heelthy systems in these sensitive critters. Studies at UCLA recently proved the PSYCHOLOGICAL THREAT of a punishment is WORSE the the actual pain of punishment. > said - no "bad" dogs, just lousy owners. She SELLS LESSONS teaching jerking and choking and is well accepted by some of the EXXXPERTS right here, most of whom have THE SAME PROBLEMS and CAN'T CURE THEIR OWN dog's barking despite their shock and pronged spiked pinch choke collars, constant supervision aversive sprays and crating. All behavior problems are related and have coresponding heelth conditions and DIS-EASES which are likely to be potentialized by just WON LAST STRAW... so to speak. > (I'm paraphrasing there.) LikeWIZE... Of curse, ONLY YOUR DOCTOR can tell you FOR SHORE if you or your dog has a DIS-EASE from simply being MISHANDLED. Sometimes repetitive low level stressors such as being told "NO!" a few times a day or week can debilate these sensitive systems till they require surgery, like DEBARKING and STAPLING the STOMACH IN ADVANCE to prevent bloat, or ligament repair or other SYMPTOMS resulting in DEATH, like Wobler's SYNDROME. Perhaps you meant "No Bad Dogs Only Bad Trainers" by LeeCharlesKelley? It's WON of the four best books on dog training although at first glance serious trainers DISMISS IT as "PLAY" and not anything they need as their dogs get plenty of PLAY and their interests are utility and obedience. > Still, the Q: worst barkers?

To fill you in on the details: At first when The Amazing Puppy Wizard came here HE thought the PROBLEM was that folks just didn'tknow any better than to do what they do to and blame on their dogs. THEN HE believed they was just CRUEL. Then HE thought they being PROFESSIONALS were just being GREEDY or EGO- TISICAL. Then of curse, it became EVIDENT that there's a PATHOLOGY goin on amongst these SELF-HEELP groupies. Well, they're NOT REALLY self-heelp groups as they haven't RECOGNIZED their ILLNESSES. It's more of a mutual mentally ill admiration society where they can DOTE on their dog's behavior and heelth problems and PRAISE their SUCCESSES when after three years they dog hasn't had a single seizure thanks to toxic anti seizure medications and pass the crying towel when they got to murder their dogs for the gravity of their heelth and temperament problems. It's called MunchHOWESEN Syndrome By Proxy, although maybe not all of the posters here are afficted with this tragic DIS-EASE, they've got the SYMPTOMS. The following will substantiate EVERY THING: HOWEDY white monkey aka katrina, White Monkey wrote: > First of all, Excuse me, Katrina.

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.

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!

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.

Didn't you just say the vet sez "TAKE IT EZ"??? Truthfully, I'm not fit for that much EXXXORCISE.

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.

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.

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.

From: "George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D." To: "Jerry Howe" Subject: Alleged Professors of Animal Behavior Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 12:50:51 -0400 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.

From: "George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D." Subject: Doggy advice Scott, Jerry Howe forwarded me the letter below. I'm glad that you referred negatively to Jerry's habit of CAPITALIZING and HOWEING everything. I personally hate this habit of his. I think it is his way of diluting his authority - IME he is a very modest fellow. However, contrary to your sneer, he is very competent at living with dogs. I thought I'd list a series of actions which I found on the list, folk asking advice on what to do about dogs doing this and that, for example: whining, humping, hunching, pacing, self mutilation - paw licking, side sucking, spinning, prolonged barking, barking at shadows, overstimulated barking, fighting, bullying other dogs, compulsive digging, compulsive scratching, compulsive chewing, frantic behavior, chasing light, chasing shadow, stealing food, digging in garbage can, loosing house (toilet) training. inappropriate fearfulness aggression. The thing that is fascinating to me, as an ethologist who graduated from college 50 years ago and has spent all of the intervening time working with animals (including the human animal), is that you never see any of these behaviors in wild dingoes, jackals, coyotes or wolves, you don't even see these behaviors in hyenas (who aren't dog related). You see these behaviors in human managed animals, especially animals who live with neurotic hysterical humans. As Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student) demonstrated for nearly 50 years at Ohio University (Oxford, O.) there is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving care. George von Hilsheimer, Ph. D., F. R. S. H., Diplomate, Academy of Behavioral Medicine "Linda" 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!!! =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D From: Linda Daniel To: Jerry Howe Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 1:06 AM Subject: Re: - Re: dog aggression 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. ---------------------------------- > They are particularly interested in studying dogs > suffering from panic, anxiety related disorders, > and aggression.

You don't have to like him. You don't have to agree with his methods, but as far as I am concerned, I've never seen any other training approach that was as fast and easy. <<<< Rest of original post deleted >>>> Ron Flanagan Orlando, Florida ----------------------- Elaine McClung, President of Pet Rescue, Animal Commisioner, Brevard County, FL writes: Sep 9,2000 "I ordered from Jerry a long time ago.. He was helpful and the order was filled promptly. Yes, Doggie Do Right does indeed exist. I "had" a very aggressive female Pit.. She was showing aggression not only towards Dok, Rhodesian Ridgeback, but our cats and even us. She now plays with Dok, even to the point of allowing him to take a toy or bone from her. She no longer shows any aggression towards us. She is showing some aggression towards the cats but that is down to a warning growl. It is not just my opinion that all this aggression existed before Doggie Do Right as we were advised by three vets to euthanize her. I do very much believe that DDR will help JR as I know it has helped my dogs and cats. I do think your product is a valuable tool in helping with aggression and other behavior problems. I am in Feral CatNetwork (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 are: 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.). Thanks, Elaine 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. Marge Hoffman 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.

Just want you all to know how well my Sunshine has done! He is happy and so well behaved that he is such a joy to be with now. I am going to work with a couple of dog in the neighborhood who are young and know zero commands. Both play with Sunshine but the owners can not get them to come back to go home. 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 dogs. Sharing our success hopely can help others realize that you don't have to give up on a problem dog! Just in case you all think I am not for real or that Jerry is posting this, anyone is welcome to come visit us and see my Sunshine. > For one part of this project, much needed dog DNA is > being requested from the dog community to understand > the genetic diversity across breeds.

Our black lab girl is 3 months old (she will be 4 months on the 30th). 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. Edyta aka Ned =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 9:06 AM 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.

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).

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. He vomited at about 5:30 AM with nothing much in the vomit. 2. At about 9 AM I fed him a little rice + ground chicken and he vomited this. 3. By 8 PM his temp was 102.5. 4. 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. By 3 PM the fever broke and he was resting comfortably. 6. The following day he was returning to his normal behavior. 7. 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?

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. 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.

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.

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.

From: Hoku Beltz To: The Puppy Wizard Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 6:12 PM Subject: Mahalo Aloha Jerry, Just wanted to let you know that the surrogate toy technique is working wonders. I have not had a shredded sheet for over a week now. It is nice to be able to leave the bed made and come home to a made bed. Your program is awesome, but you already know that. Keep up the good work! Hoku =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dave Cohen Re: Barking Deterrants Needed... Hi. Please understand that I do not know Jerry and have spoken with him briefly once by email. I have no stake or interest in the success of his business. I simply want to thank him publicly for one of his tips, with regards to separation anxiety. I thought it seemed far fetched to praise a stuffed animal and then say good bye to my own dog, but I am usually a very open minded person, so I tried it. Well, lo and behold- the damn trick worked! I think Jerry has some intriguing techniques, and personally I think everyone who constantly criticizes him is not understanding his logic. Thank you Jerry! =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D BUT YOU CAN'T FIX IT ON ACCHOWENT OF YOU WON'T STOP HURTING AND INTIMIDATING YOUR DOGS. > -- Melanie, Solo the Red, Superfly, > -- and Bladder -- I mean, Skeeter > -- > Melanie Lee Chang | > Form ever follows function. > Departments of Anthropology and Biology | > University of Pennsylvania | > -- Louis Sullivan > mlch...@sas.upenn.edu | > --------------------------------- Dr. Hamilton continues: > If you or any members of your club/community are > interested in participating in this new and > exciting realm of dog behavioral genetics research, > find out more here.
