Subject: In which I am annoyed
Took the dogs to a lovely park for their daily hike. Walked the
(shoveled!) perimeter path, and was almost back to the parking
lot when I saw a fuzzy dog headed our way. No human. No leash.
So I make my guys sit off to the side of the path, and hope for the best.
Didn't get it. Mr. Dog came diving into my crew like he had something
to prove. Strangely, it was Duke who took him on. I got knocked to my
knees, but kept hold of all the leashes. Even managed enough slack to
slap at the tusslers (by then it had turned into a 3-dog free-for-all,
with
only little Lindy holding back).
Mr. Dog (I'm presuming gender, given that it was the two boydogs
that gave it grief, and not Miss *****) backed up, and at last turned
away. Then he looked at a woman jogging towards us, crouched
into a play bow, and ran the other way. Fifty feet on, he dove in
towards a dog/bicycler combination, creating as much mayhem as
he had with my crew. The woman just smiled and waved as she
jogged past me, and past the guy on the bike. She never caught
the dog, but I don't think she was trying to catch the dog.
No blood, no damage, but it ruined our walk (and my mood).
Why do stupid people insist on letting their untrained dogs interfere
with other people's peaceful enjoyment of a public area?

"Left to his own devices, he'd be picking

That's why he's not left to his own devices.
I wouldn't take Ranger to a dog park.
I have let him off lead, but only to play fetch
(he's ball obsessed) and never with strange dogs
around.
He can be a gentleman, but I can't depend on it."

Oh well then, THAT'S HOWE COME it takes you 10 years
to "train" your fear aggressive hyperactive HOWETA CON-
TROLL dogs to JUST walk on leash:
"Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative
reinforcement" (1958) NEARLY EVERY LEARNING
THEORY model involves the USE OF PUNISHMENT.
Of curse, Skinner has never to my knowledge,
demonstrated HOWE we escape the phenomenon
that an expected reward not received is experienced
as a punishment and can produce extensive and
persistent aggression (Azrin et al, 1966)."
"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.
Sam Corson, Pavlov's Last Student Demonstrated At UofOH,
That Rehabilitation Of Hyperactive Dogs Can Easily And
Readily Be Done Using TLC. Tender Loving Care Is At The
Root Of The Scientific Management Of Doggies.
"All animals learn best through play," Lorenz.
"The IMBECILITY of some of the claims for operant
technique simply take the breath away. Lovas et al
(1966) re****t a standard contingent reward/punishment
procedure developing imitative speech in two severly
disturbed non verbal schizophrenic boys. After twenty-
six days the boys are re****ted to have been learning
new words with alacrity. HOWEver, when REWARDS
were moved to a delayed contingency the behavior and
learning immediately deteriorated.
Programs utilizing the "contingencies of reinforcement
model" proposed by Skinner (1963) are no more well
established in research than the various dynamic
therapists."
Research in four areas : 1) direct evaluation of
programmed systems for learning; 2) reinforcement;
3) cognitive dissonance; and 4) motivation, MOST
SURELY DEMOLISH the claims of operant programers."
"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 of the
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)."

Dear Marilyn,
I just visited your updated site. The two Ness pages are great.
Freezing the video frames to reveal the emotional impact a
leash correction has on a dog was a wonderful idea.
Lee Kelley did something similar to a Brian Kilcommon video.
The difference is we were focusing on the emotional impact a
leash correction has on the trainer. When you do this to a training
video you can clearly see the tremendous emotional charge some
of these trainers are getting from hurting dogs.
It's a strange business, this dog training. I wonder what motivates
any of us to engage in it. I'm suspicious of anyone who says they
do it because they love dogs. I know a lot of people who claim to
love what dogs represent to them, and yet they don't become trainers.
I don't think this is because they love something else more.
I think there is a difference between loving what dogs represent
to us and loving what training them creates in us or even creates
in them for that matter.
It's a complicated process and perhaps many of us have lost sight
of what we're doing. I read books and articles that matter of factly
explain how to systematically inflict pain on dogs in an effort to
create a desire to perform tasks that I often see dogs performing of
their own accord. I know many of these behaviors can be shaped
and encouraged to the same degree of reliability without all the
violence and pain.
Where they can't (if that's the case), I wonder why we think
a dog should perform a task that is so repugnant to its nature,
that we must resort to violence and coercion to compel them
to participate.
Maybe I have far too much respect for dogs, but when I read
this stuff it sounds like slavery and involuntary servitude to me.
I can't see much difference between what we're doing to them
(for their own good) and what my country men did to the African
peoples for nearly half a century.
It's hard for me to accept that I'm surrounded by so much
madness, but I have to go with my heart on this one. Most
of what we demand from dogs--if not all of it--will be offered
willingly and enthusiastically if we only learn how to request
it in a manner they can comprehend.
If it turns out that I have to attack a dog to get it to do or to not do
something, then maybe the dog isn't supposed to do what I think it
should.
The whole thing's so complicated that I can't really express it. I
just know I don't like some of the stuff I'm seeing or reading about.

Subject: Re: training
Speaking of training techniques, I started teaching my 3 guys
the weave poles by C&T, with interesting and very different
results. I was taught to lure through the weaves, but the
positioning was a problem (heel vs. off-side heel), plus getting
the dog to work away from me wasn't going to be easy.
So I figured a little clicker magic couldn't hurt.
I'd clicker-trained Noah to retrieve, and it didn't really take
him very long to start offering to walk between the poles (only
set up 2 to start with). Sam has been introduced to clicker-
training, and is a more advanced agility dog (not by much!).
He's more accustomed to a combination of luring/positioning.
Very much less progress, although Sam is the brighter dog.
And Ranger had absolutely no clue - we had to start with the
click/treat association and that's about all he got out of this
first session. "Hear the click, get food", with no clue that his
behavior "creates" the click.
If the weather holds, it'll be fun to see how they progress.

Bouncy is a blast. I was thrilled. Remember, he's the dog who
was so shut down during our first obedience class that he wouldn't
take food.
I've been working so much with Ranger that Duke didn't really
get a chance to go to matches, or do all that kind of prep work.
I just dropped him smack dab into the middle of one of the
biggest dog shows in the area and hoped he wouldn't have
a meltdown. I guess he likes that there show thingie, thank
goodness.
I don't understand him, and I'm not sure I'd ever look
for another one like him, but we seem to get along okay.

Oh, I enlisted help. Today was the first (and probably only) time
I had both dogs entered, so I persuaded my roommate to help me
keep an eye on Duke.
Bless her heart, she doesn't "do" dog shows, but kept me company
anyway. (It didn't hurt that the chocolate chip cookies Duke stole
could be replaced at the dog show site - the Iowa State Fairgrounds.)
Ranger has become pretty blase about the whole "going to the show /
crated at the show" thing, but Duke whined in the car all the way down,
and again all the way back. That might have been the effect of his
clandestine cookie break, but he's always channeled that little whiney
bit of Sam. He was quiet in the crate, though.
I'm in awe of the couple here with 3 Border Terriers that ALL got their
RAE (10 Rally trials with qualifying scores in both Advanced and
Excellent) -- 2 cl***** * 3 dogs * 10 shows = I'm too tired to even
calculate it.

Your guess is wrong. While it very much depends on both individuals,
dogs (even Rotts) can and do adapt to non-canine companions at any age.
I would certainly try to find a dog-savvy cat, were I adding a cat to a
household containing an adolescent dog of any breed.

Properly trained, you'd never know whether a dog is dog-
aggressive without living with the critter.
Most days, you'd never know that my ACDs were both dog
aggressive, or that my Lab is territorial. *I* know this, and
handle them in such a way that these tendencies should not
be readily apparent to the casual observer.
