Homer 1994 - 03.01.2007"
brothers and sisters i bid you beware
of giving your heart to a dog to tear

i put homer to sleep yesterday.

it was quite possibly the hardest thing i've ever done.

monday night i was trying to teach him to down using a
food lure. he wasn't getting it, so i put a hand on him to
try to encourage him to down. he attacked me, biting me
twice on the hand, and then when i stood up and backed
away, he came after me more and bit me on the leg as well.

i was shocked and devestated and a hundred other things.

i ended up emailing my trainer (who has turned out to be a
very kind friend) and she called me and i spent an hour on
the phone with her crying. she doesn't deal with aggression
cases, but she listened to me and talked me down. i hardly
slept that night.

tuesday i took homer in to work with me and had the vet
feel his neck. i didn't think it was a reaction due to pain
but i had to check it out. the vet put his hands on the sides
of homer's head and manipulated his head around. homer
didn't show any signs of pain or discomfort. he went
through the motions some more.

homer flipped out, with no warning, extremely violently. it
took him a long time (it felt like a lifetime. it was probably
around 3 minutes) to calm down enough that the vet could
take his hands off of homer without anybody getting hurt.

i went home for lunch and called a behaviorist. i spent a lot
of the day reading the brenda aloff aggression book and the
karen overall behavior book.

that night the behaviorist called me and i told her what had
happened and she asked questions and i answered them as
best i could.

she gave him a pretty poor prognosis.

everything that she said made sense to me, and nothing
she said was earth-shattering or even really anything
that i didn't already know.

this morning i took him in and held him close and cried into
his fur and told him how much i love him and let him go.

he was a dangerous dog. he bit unpredictably and with no
warning. he was a love, a snugglebug, a sweet sweet dog
as long as you didn't do anything he didn't want done. but
if you tried to "make" him do something he didn't want to
do, all bets were off. his reaction could be a snap or it could
be an over-the-top meltdown.

i couldn't live with a dog like that.

i *will not* live with a dog like that.

i've spent the last three days crying my eyes out. i never
imagined i could get that attached to a dog who i had for
all of 12 days and who bit me several times during those
12 days.

 but i was. i loved him.

i loved him ferociously, but i had to let him go.

 for his sake.

for my sake.

for the sake of luce and mushroom.

i feel horrible. heartbroken. guilty. angry.

and yet i don't regret him, not for one moment,
despite how things turned out.

Yeah? Your friend Mistress ****rley is a B&D/S&M SPECIALIST
who can't train the come command withHOWET her trusty SHOCK
COLLAR you pathetic lyin animal murderin ignorameHOWES:

Here's your PAL, MISTRESS ****rly chong,
crapHOWES CLICKER TRAINER:

"To be effective as a positive punisher, I set the level
of shock at a level high enough (in my best guesstimation)
to be unpleasant to the dog. I want the dog to startle a
bit and even yelp when they get shocked.

No, this is not pleasant.

After each shock, I call the dog again (because many
dogs tend to panic when something mysteriously reaches
out and stings them)."

But don't go away yet, my pretty flying monkey, there's MOORE:

"If the dog is still refusing the recall, then I escalate my
aversive  a bit--usually, to taking two big handfuls of ruff
as I move backwards.

Some dogs do get "long line wise.""

No, some trainers are just long line stupid.

You can't force a dog to come.

"That is, they never refuse a recall while on the long line
but when the long line is gone, they are unreliable even if
the handler started with close recalls off lead in a familiar
(and safely fenced) area."

That's because you can't teach compliance with force no
matter HOWE gently you try to force. ANY force, even verbal
intimidation, will cause the opposition reflex to compel the
dog to do other than what you want.

Too bad you sharp trainers here don't understand that. It's
called positive thigmotaxis, and it's just as valid with a
choke collar as it is with a mental attitude. Force causes
the dog to not respond.

"IF the dog never ever refuses a recall while on the long
line, no matter what the distraction (and I am pretty good
at devising distractions for this test!), then I move to a
shock collar."

That's a competent clicker trainer, by golly!

Where do you people come off with that kind of crap?

Here's Miss ****rly, the CLICKER TRAINER you recommended to us:

Congratulations!

My advice is to ask your doctor. Because your doctor is the
one who knows your specific conditions, because there's a
lot of advice out there of varying quality (including this!)
and because it's im****tant to have peace of mind that you
are doing the right thing at a time like this.

Most doctors have heard it all. If they haven't heard it all,
they should have. <G> If you have reason to believe that your
doctor may react badly then maybe that's an indication this
isn't the doctor for you.

Better to find this out now rather than when you are in
labor and not in the mood to holler at some rank narrow
mindedness and unable to gather your dignity and march out.

Those hospital gowns just don't cut it for dignified exits
unless you back out the door and then there's the little
problem of who is out in the hall.

Much easier in the long run to tell the truth.

I don't slap them around so much. I'll pop em, and all
when they do something wrong, and fuss at em.  But I have
found something even better to make them stop what they
are doing.

A dustbuster.  Just turn it on.  Or show it to them.  They
hate any type of va*** cleaner.  It's worked about keeping
Jake out of the garbage.  I sat in the kitchen a whole day,
and every time he went to the garbage can and went to stick
his head in, I turned it on.  He stopped that.

Mainly I just pet them.  They lay there by my chair and I
reach down and scratch them.  They get up in the chair with
me.  Tha'ts not easy when they are that big.  But they still
think they are puppies.  I do spoil them sometimes, but they
are my boys, and I love them.

I have a solution for that one. When some clueless idjit
allows their dog to come up to mine, I call over sweetly
"don't worry, the vet doesn't think he's infectious anymore."

A carryover from my years showing horses when idjits leading
a horse down the aisle of a barn would let their horse poke
it's head into my horse's stall. I'd grab a bottle of Ring-Ex
(ringworm medication) and start spritzing ostentatiously. And
mention that my vet thought we had the infestation cleared up.

I never mentioned that the bottle was full of plain water. <G>

If I'm not in a nice mood, I just scare the bejeebers out
of the oncoming dog to send it away. When they say "but
he's friendly" I say "well, I'm not." My dogs never have
to defend themselves on leash. I think they sort of enjoy
seeing me chase other dogs away, there's a certain smugness
in the way they lean against me while looking at the other dog.

Katherine, I have nothing against the use of prong collars
and recommend them when I feel it is appropriate. Just like
any tool, there are situations when a prong collar is the
best tool for a job and there situations where a prong
collar is the worst tool for a job.

Prong collars do tend to magnify a dog's aggressive tendencies.
If the dog is at all inclined to bite unreasonably, the prong
collar will often send it right over the edge.

i worry that he reacted out of fear

luce is a huge barrier-pusher. i've wigged out
on her a few times, too, and that i don't think
was necessarily a bad thing. but with this guy,

i put a harness on him and he seems much more

cannot be handle-less until he learns things like
come, stay, and to go in his crate.

i was trying to teach him to down using a lure and he totally and

L Alpert,

It's unknown how a just graduated from highschool 17
year old male will act in the Summer holidays at the
local hang out, when confronted by the bully that
bullied and tormented him throughout the last 5 years
of highschool.

He may fall in line or he may react. Your dog is just
maturing, he may decide to be lower in the pack for
his entire life. Especially if you sup****t the alpha.

BUT, if the pit decides in his own mind that it is
enough and decides to challenge for the top spot.

Your lifestyle will most likely change. All we are
trying to tell you is, be ready, be prepared, and
take precautions.

I don't know if you have seen a pitbull in its
virgin fight, but I can tell you they don't need
to taught to win against 99% of the other breeds
like rotties, gsd's, labs, etc. they will kick
ass and you will be mopping up.

Cleaning wounds and sticking your fingers into 1
nch deep gashes and punctures is not fun. And this
happened when I  was there to break it up.

Imagine if you are not there to intervene. I am so
glad my dogs don't hate each other. Otherwise I would

 The fact that you, Alison, have never met a dog to

What it means is that you don't know as much about
dogs as you think you do, and you surely don't know

I had a Dalmatian that would instigate fights with
one of her housemates; that dog had no fear or
anything, and pain incurred during a fight meant
nothing to her.

I know that that dog is not unique, and I'm sure many
people here can tell similar stories.  The fact that
you, Alison, continue to say things to people such as
what you said to Theresa about causing her dog to

domestic puppy dog trainers:

"...all the highest nervous activity, as it manifests
itself in the conditional reflex, consists of a continual
change of these three fundamental processes --
excitation, inhibition and disinhibition,"  Ivan P. Pavlov

"Postitive emotions arising in connection
with the perfection of a skill, irrespective
of its pragmatic significance at a given
moment, serve as the reinforcement. IOW,
emotions, not outside rewards, are what
reinforces any behavior," Ivan Pavlov.

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

"It is NO WONDER that the marked changes in
deviant behavior of children can be achieved
through brief, simple educative routines with
their mothers which modify the mother's social
behaviors shaping the child (Whaler, 1966). Some
clinics have re****ted ELIMINATION ofthe need for
child THERAPY through changing the clinical emphasis
from clinical to parental HANDLING of the child
(Szrynski 1965).

A large number of cases improved sufficiently after
preliminary contact with parents that NO treatment
of children was required, and almost ALL cases
SHOWE a remarkably shortened period for therapy.
Quite severe cases of anorexia nervosa have been
treated in own to five months by simply REPLACING
the parents tem****arily with EFFUSIVELY LOVING
SUBSTITUTES (Groen, 1966)."

Won't make any difference.

I've been using an e-collar with my JRT, and it's
worked wonders for his recall.  But the one time
he bolted after something small and furry, he paid
no attention to the collar until after he'd brought
it to bay.

Subject: Chasing squirrels

I have not posted to the group for awhile but
want to share my success of teaching my dog
Sun****ne, who has a very high prey drive, to
not go after squirrels when on a walk.  It
took a few trials but he can now walk right
past squirrels running up a tree or in a yard.

Using Jerry Howe's approach I used a sound to
get his attention when he saw a squirrel and
then praised him and kept on walking past the
squirrel. Where we live in Michigan we lots of
squirrels and he was always wanting to chase
them up a tree.  Jerry's approach of sound
and praise really works.

 I think the people who discount his methods
have never tried the method because it works
everytine.  Sometimes it takes a little practice
to get the sound from different directions but
I was able to change Sun****ne's behavior in
just a week after we moved back to Michigan.

Sun****ne is a very sensitive dog so any physical
corrections just won't work but using sound and
praise he is a really great dog who opens doors,
picks up things I drop, and and helps me a lot.

If you have a behavior problem with your dog get
a copy of Jerrry's manual and solve your problem!

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

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

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

8)  Put a prong collar with a six-foot leash on the dog.
Don't forget to put the muzzle on the dog.   I think a prong
works better than a choke with less chance of injury to the
dog in this situation.   Have the dog in a sit-stay next to
you with most of the slack out of the leash and let the cat
walk through the room and up to the dog if it wishes (this is
why you have the dog muzzled).

If the dog makes an aggressive move towards the
cat, it must be corrected strongly with both your
voice and the collar.

This is im****tant - the correction must be physically
very strong - not a nag.   (PS: not many dogs need
to be corrected at all)."

"It was kind of funny, in an absurd way.  The rabbit
was completely still, eyes open and glazed, dried
blood in his ears and mouth, with his back legs
stiffening quickly.

It was her pet rabbit, not a wild bunny, so
that made it much harder for her.

And he was killed by bichons.

Her dogs had torn it apart.  My one student who had
shown up (another weird thing about the night) and I
had to continuously check for heart and bowel sounds
for her, until she could accept that the rabbit was dead.

(The rigor mortis in his back legs she attributed to "pain").

No, the dog learned that I would hold still
the second she began to pull.  She would pull
to go where *she* wanted.

Well if she wanted to stop and go in another
direction.. say to sniff my neighbors yard..

she learned if she wanted to do it I would stop
walking and she could go.. and if there wasn't
enough slack on her lead she would just pull me.

Then when she got done doing *her* thing, she woudl
heel.. smile at me and wait for me to say "let's go"
and finish *my* thing.  I would refuse to move .. i
looked like an idiot.. freezing mid walk for minutes
waiting for *my* dog to heel and give *me* permission
to go again.

I did the treats and the let's go... she got to do her
stuff and get a cookie.. if she even wanted the cookie.

I wound up calling Jerry.. as I have a half red nose
pit and half amstaff.. who is incredibly protective..

we had a new pup on the way.. and i needed help.. i
followed petsmarts trainnign guides.. memorized them...
and they *did* work, don't get me wrong.. but only
when my pet wanted a cookie or felt the cookie was
better than what she wanted.. which was not often.

She quickly learned to ignore my commands if she
could see my hands were empty.  So I called Jerry...
he chatted me for about an hour and a half.. gave me
his link... and even when i had probs intro'ing the
pup he called me withn i5 mins of my email for help
at 10pm on a sunday night.

One.. singular.. uno family pack exercise after
the hot and cold exercise and i could zig zag
down my street.. about face .. whatever.. and
never had tension.

two men were acrossed the street and she walked right
by them... ordinarily she'd snarl and protect us.

And in two days.. my dog.. who bit the puppy if he
even looked like he was going near my husband or kids..
is nursing him every hour.. cleaning him.. rough housing
gently.. and teaching him to go potty outside..

actually watches him to make sure he doesn't go in
the house... and has milk.. which is awesome since
she's 19 months old and has never had a litter.

She also has stopped barking non stop at our neighbor's
dogs and pig.. does not bark at eveyr car that drives by
and has stopped jumping on people.  she's even starting
to ignore our cat who has lived on her dome litter box
and our window sill (literally) for over a year and a half.

She also does her commands on cue..  and doesn't look for a treat.

Just like HOWE there are CERTAIN PEOPLE who believe
with all their hearts that dog aggression IS CAUSED by
ETHICKAL Pit Bull Fanciers trainers and veterinary
malpracticioners.

Socialization is DONE by the time a puppy leaves the litterbox.

INCONSISTENCY is the BANE of the scientific method.
ANY dog who's INCONSITENT in AGGRESSION and other
temperament or behaivor problems PROVES the PROBLEM
is CAUSED BY MISHANDLING <{): ~ ) >

That's INSANE.

If your ETHCIKALLY BRED field and herding dog BREEDERS
had generations after generations of line bred field and herding dogs
 they WOULDN'T NEED SHOCK COLLAR TRAININ to train their
NATURALLY BRED WORKIN STOCK, would they, elegy aka katie.

BWEEEEEAAAHAHAHHAHAAAA!!!

You mean CRAPPY BREEDERS who WON'T TAKE BACK
 their own puppy mill backyard bred stock to MURDER for their
puppy customers when mishandling causes fear and aggression
problems.

Of curse SOME people believe with all their hearts that those
"PROBLEMS" are CAUSED by MISHANDLING, not
UNETHICAL BREEDERS who DON'T TAKE BACK their
stock to be MURDERED for their puppy customers <{): ~ ) >

Like when your dogs escape your fence or attack each other
OR attack *you* for jerking choking shocking and bribing
and forcing them like HOWE you MURDERED your own
DEAD RESCUE dog Homer?

> human aggression in pit bulls is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

INDEED?

Well FRAUDreck hassen has some CHUMPion titled winnin
Pit Bull Attack dogs who work very nicely in the show environment.

BWEEEEAHAHAHAHAAAA~!~!~!

On accHOWENT of they DON'T ATTACK HUMANS
 unless they come from UNETHICKAL backyard / puppy
 mill breeders and pet shops.

> they are supposed to be exuberently friendly with strangers.

UNLESS they're jerked choked shocked bribed crated
intimidated and mutilated by ETHICKAL breeders and
Pit Bull Fanciers like katie aka elegy.

SOME people "mistakenly believe with all their hearts"

CAUSED BY MISHALDING.

That's curiHOWES for a DOG LOVER, AIN'T IT katie???

I assume that I and my wife are those two naive childs
since I freely admit to having read and, I hope,
understood enough of the manual and it's counterparts by
John Fisher and the posts of Marilyn Rammell to believe
and use it.

This naive child would like to say thank you to both
Jerry and Marilyn for putting up with a constant barrage
of really infantile crap at the hands of supposedly
adult dog lovers.

The other naive child (LSW) has to put up with the
nagging idea that if people like them had been posting
earlier, maybe we would not have had to hold the head
of a really magnificent animal in our arms while he was
given the needle and having to hug him and wait until he
gasped his last gasp.

To my mind, "naive" is believing you can terrorize a dog.

 Naive is believing that people that hide behind fake
names are more honest than people that use their real
names.  Naive is thinking that dilettante  dog breeders
and amateur "trainers" like Joey  (lyingdogDUMMY, j.h.)
are the equal or better than those that have studied and
lived by their craft for decades.

"Stupid" is believing that people do not see kindergarten
level insults for what they are. Really stupid is believing
that people like Jerry Howe and Marilyn Rammell are
going to just go away because you people act like fools.

Why do you act like fools?  I really have no idea, and I
don't really care.

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