First, I punish behavior, not dogs. Second, I rarely issue
corrections.
Third, as time goes on my dog uses the pillow less frequently.
I would say he uses it about once a month. Finally, I'm not really
concerned about my dog's masturbating; I don't find such dog
behavior offensive.
Eating dog poop, for me, is another story.
And the rate of that behavior has
also diminished with time. :-)

What is wrong with "The Puppy Wizard"?
I know his posts are a little wacky but his sound
distraction technique has worked very well for me.
After using traditional training with mixed results,
I was able to stop my dog from jumping up, eating
poop, begging from the table and excessive barking
using his methods.

Just wanted to say thanks. The method you told me
to stop my dog from eating my other Labs sh-t in
the backyard has worked well. She has also improved
greatly when off leash out in the woods.
She still sniffs (ofcourse), but I rarely need to stop
her from anything else. I've always been diligent about
watching her, and cleaning up the yard, but ya just
can't be there every second. And she is quick!
So, thanks again for the advice.
I feel more confident now when I turn my back.
And to all you folks going yea, sure, right.
THIS IS NOT A TROLL POST.
HE gave me advice. It worked. Plain and simple.
Nothing more, nothing less.
So Jerry, allthough I don't lurk here, I'm sure
you're still putting up with DogButt and his ilk.
So good keep up the good work!
Of course DogButt will read this, even thoe it doesn't
have his name on it. Cause he thinks he owns the group.
So to you DogButt.........Well,,,,never mind.
You're already a loser. I don't need to tell you that.
Please feel free to correct my spelling/grammer, etc.
Yes, goodbye, good riddance, blah blah blah.

The sound distraction and praise method he uses is VERY effective,
I use those techniques on my dogs and the results are great. From
teaching a dog to recall to preventing unwanted behaviours (****
eating, eating the cats food, growling when taking a bone from a
dog, jumping up, even escaping from the property, any behaviour).
To say sound distraction and praise methods don't work is pure
ignorance.
I can understand you not liking Jerry and being pissed off with
the posts he submits but please keep things in context and don't
slam a technique just because you can't stand the person suggesting
using it.

Subject: House training and such...
Date: 2003-10-08 16:18:56 PST
I've been having a problem with my dog, Axel,
relieving himself in the house while I'm away
from home.
I've used TPW method's, and yesterday I was out
for 12 hours, and Axel didn't have one single "accident".
Today, I had hoped that the results would be just as
good - and they were (I was out for 11 hours).
The problem began when, as a puppy, Axel would
relieve himself in the house and I would point
at the mess and tell him "NO" or "Bad Dog".
That made him afraid to relieve himself in the
house or infront of me.
After I got TPW's training manual, I corrected my
mishandling of these instances.
When I came home to an "accident", I would simply
drop a can near the area and ask Axel "What's that?"
Then I would clean it up - with out showing him I was
the least bit upset about the mess, and when he looked
at the spot I would tell him "Good boy, you're a good dog".
This has been an ongoing problem, and thanks to the
Puppy Wizard, we've finally got it taken care of...
Also, Axel LOVES the cat's litter box...He enjoys the
"snacks" he can find in there...I followed TPW's methods
by alternating sounds and praising him while or before
he sticks his nose in it, and today, he's been going into
the room with the cat box and barking. That's because
he's thinking about getting into the box, but he knows he
shouldn't.
Thank you, Jerry, for all you help.
You've been a blessing to all of us.

I'm not exactly sure why Jerry is saying to ignore me, it's his
advice that I found was the most successful. During walks in a
particular park the dogs would come across fresh cow pats and
munch away happily.
To stop this I'd set them up, I'd find a nice fresh cow turd and
stand next to it, when the dogs came over and saw it they would
start to munch, at the onset of this I'd chuck a throw chain near
the dog to distract it and praise straight away, the reason for
the praise is the dog stops eating as soon as it hears the
distraction so I'm praising that behaviour, the not eating.
I'd set them up again and repeat, but make the sound come from
a different direction, maybe the first time chuck the chain to
the right of the dog, the next time to the left, then behind etc,
it's the randomness that is effective and always sincerely praise
immediately.
Now when I walk through the park they leave the turds alone,
they aren't interested in them anymore due to the distraction
training. Don't let the dog know that you made the sound, the
sound just "occurs" this is im****tant as it removes "you" out
of the problem.

I hate to be in such agreement all the time, but am excited
about Coco the Rotti we have boarded here. Yes she made my
job easier (no poo to pick up) as at her home she eats poo
due to major anxiety and being punished with a stick for it.
She was living on it just about.
It was gross, and she is a beautiful dog.
I decided to change this. It has taken 6 days for HER to
get an appetite and I PICK up poo now. We have yard kennels
here, so it's hard to catch every dog doing everything. I
took all the pressure off her. SHE is using a dog house,
not cowering at her gate. SHE is breaking the habit of body
blocking me so I cannot leave her area. SHE is now playing
ike a normal doggie.
What did I do? Not much. Just ask as the other's are doing,
and be patient. Not making a big deal out of behavior she is
used to being punished for.
I can snap a finger now to distract her, and say "Coco
back good girl" I move into Hot and Cold on a bad day.
The owner just got done putting up a security door due
to her taking out the old one. The dog has quit blocking
me from getting in my door when out for play. My job is
getting easier, it's a pain to be rushed by a pack of
dogs all trying to come in.
Call the dogs puppets, they don't care!

Last reply/post from me just to explain to Joshua.
Then I'm outta here(yippee).
No I was not trying to TROLL. I wanted to post a
thank you to Jerry. That's it. Never said I didn't
want anyone else to read it. I did say that I knew
DogButt would read it even thoe it wasn't for him.
He thinks everything in here is his business.
So he had to post some childish response because he
can't help it. He is sooo predictable. He will read
this too and again post a childish response. If he
doesn't, it will show a strength of will that I don't
believe he has.
Not trying to be a rat or anything else. I clearly said
what I wanted to say about Jerry's help with my dog problem.
It is sad that this group is still so antagonistic all the time.
There is a lot of knowledge here, but it is rarely
disseminated in a kindly manner. Most newbies get
ran off in fairly short order, and go over to r.p.d.breeds
where people are much freindlier. Seems like most
posters in here have been around each other too long.
Some sort of internet cabin fever or something (IMHO).
Anyway, I won't be reading your's or DogButt's reply. So feel
free to go at each other's throats as usual,flame me and my

Again, thanks Jerry and all of you have a nice day......
well except you DogButt!

Dear Mr. Puppy Wizard,
I have, of late, come to recognize your genius
and now must applaud your attempts to save
animals from painful training procedures.
You are indeed a hero, a man of exceptional talent,
who tirelessly devotes his days to crafting posts to
alert the world to animal abuse.
We are lucky to have you, and more people should
come to their senses and sup****t your valuable
work.
Have you thought of establi****ng a nonprofit
charity to fund your im****tant work?
Have you thought about holding a press conference
so others can learn of your highly worthwhile
and significant work?
In closing, my only suggestion is that you
try to keep your messages short for most
readers may refuse to read a long message
even if it is from the wise, heroic Puppy Wizard.
I wish you well in your endeavors.

I agree. No matter what reason the dogs *starts* to eat poop,
after a while it seems to become nothing more than a habit.
When my younger dog did this, I tried many of the suggestions
mentioned in this thread and others - nothing worked. Finally,
I simply started picking up after both dogs immediately and kept
them inside when I wasn't at home. I'm now back to picking up
once a day, and my poo-eater now shows no interest in between
meal snacks.

Can't find the original post (ok....too lazy to look), but in my
experience, corrections after the fact, while not totally taboo for
those who have put in thte work and who have a clear approach
to them, can make mild coprophagia worse (dog tries to rid the
scene of evidence in order to avoid correction), if the dog was so
inclined to begin with.
I would hate to imagine what it would do to a committed
stool eater like this. Prevention is everything here, IMO.

Having dealt with only a couple of stool eaters of this magnitude,
e-collars and incredible amounts of consistency have been the only
thing I personally have seen work.
I'll check with Phyllis to see if she's copme up with more creative
solutions though, as she's usually the one that ends up dealing with
the poop eaters.
I'd go ahead and try the broccoli and such anyway, though if
he's so obsessed with it that he's scouring for others' poop, the
I think the help will be minor.

Glad he's getting better physically.
No, obsessive coprophagia isn't usually something that gets better
without some *serious* aversives. Which is sad. I'm glad you were
able to find people who were even willing to entertain the thought....
at least that's encouraging!

It works with the right conditioning, timing, and appropriate
correction. The right timing requires that you spend time
waiting for the action to occur naturally and then apply the
appropriate correction if your dog has already received proper
conditioning.
In OTW, do that kind of stuff only if you're extremely
confortable with your dog and he's extremely comfortable
with you.

A nick is a time-limited stim. Good e-collars provide the
option for a "tap on the shoulder" stim which lasts in the
hundredths of a second.

A friend trains with an e-collar, and helps others with its
proper usage, yet not in Schutzhund where he used colloquially
positive methods to put a level one title on the youngest dog
in his club.
I strapped his e-collar on my upper arm, a sensitive area. On
the nick, I didn't feel much until he turned it up past what
he uses on his dogs. On the regular stim, it was--at the
worst--uncomfortable, but certainly not painful. The
*anticipation* of being "shocked" was the worst part,
but such anticipation is a human idiosyncrasy.

And he'll be returned and then returned again if this behaviour
isn't corrected now. I know that you know better than to
believe someone else will give him more chances than you have.
By aversions, I meant that you may have to do more than
call him off or give him a verbal interruption. It sounds
like Joe Joe needs some immediate and unequivocal limits
that distraction or NILIF will not supply.
I would consult a trainer knowledgeable in practical
aversion techniques for some hands-on before giving
up.

Yes, but it seems that the point has been reached

I don't think that Tara should use an e-collar unless
she works with someone with a great deal of experience.

looks like Friday had a seizure this morning. He couldn't
stand on the kitchen floor but could walk somewhat when I
got him outside, though he kept falling down. He was fully
recovered after about 10 minutes of lying on the lawn, then
he threw up.
Prior to my seeing these symptoms, he was only out of
my sight for a few minutes and I didn't hear anything.
Needless to say, he's scheduled for a blood test.

That was my decision with Rocky - grade 3 heart murmur now.
He's already taking too many drugs because of his epilepsy and
I don't want to add to that burden.
He's 9.5 years old and still going strong in agility.

bentcajungirl said in rec.pets.dogs.behavior:
> What happened to Rocky?
The Alberta/NWT agility regionals were this past weekend in
Medicine Hat and it was over 30degC both days. I had both
Rocky and Friday entered.
Yesterday, Rocky just about collapsed. He'd been doing
reasonably well in the trials, just normal Rocky shaky,
like he's been ever since he started on his drugs three
years ago.
I knew that he was hot, but so were the other 125 dogs, and
I'd had him in the dunking pool a lot. Benched in shade, natch.
Before our final qualifying round, he staggered once. He's been
having rear end weakness (aka ataxia) for quite some time which
is why I moved him to a very low jump height.
When he staggered again, I pulled him from the round that
would have taken us to the Nationals.
Things went downhill from there. Unfocused eyes, he wouldn't
drink, his stomach was visibly churning, and he just wanted to
sleep. He wasn't interested in lying in the dunking pool again,
so I had him stand in it for a while, to cool through the paws,
and wetted his chin. His gums were good, as was his heartrate
and temperature, as least as well as I could estimate by feeling
inside his thigh.
Off to the van, where I put the AC on full while I called
the vet. I was told that I was doing everything right.
Then a three hour drive home, half of it though the worst
lightening and thunderstorm I've ever driven in, my van was
being so rocked by the wind that I couldn't turn around to
keep checking on him.
Rocky slept all the way, which he never does, and Friday
slept curled up to Rocky, which *he* never does, so I was
getting more worried.
The weather cleared when we were an hour outside of
Calgary and I was able to take one hand off the steering
wheel and phone the emergency vets, and they told me
to go home and watch him from there.
This is why your situation struck so close to home, Perry.
I was up until about 3 this morning with Rocky sleeping
on my ****ch in the cool breeze, and he wouldn't wake up
unless I shook him. Every time he stood, he staggered, his
rear legs wouldn't hold him up. He seems better now, he's
walking more and staggering less, but he's by far not his
normal self.
Everytime he turns, he has to sit down first.
I'm sure that he was in the early stages of heat stroke.
Heat and epilepsy drugs are not a good combination it
(obviously now) seems. I'm still waiting to hear back
from Rocky's vet clinic. His regular Doc started 2 weeks
vacation this morning.
Perusing the internet has not been consoling. Everything
that I can find indicates phenobarbital toxicity which itself
indicates liver damage.

Rocky, Friday, my visiting sister, and I had a pretty good out-
of-town agility weekend. If one ignores vehicular mishaps.
It was a fairly standard trial format for thse parts - 2 rings
and 8 cl***** (4 standard, and one each of gamblers, snooker,
jumpers, and team). Friday was entered in everything and
Rocky in only 4.
Rocky did really well this weekend - it was the first time in a
couple of years that we had runs that were fun *and* enjoyable.
Yes, there's a difference. We always have fun, but "enjoyable"
connotes to me as achieving some sort of milestone in our
handling relation****p.
I entered Rocky into the two earliest events each day, and
medicated him after the second run - he ran without stumbling
and Saturday's high heat didn't bother him a bit.

She's getting old - relaxing/atrophy/loss of control of those

Since you and your vet have effectively ruled out non age-

like plastic linings on the things on which she likes to sleep.
I went through similar issues with a dog of the same age. Her's
turned out to be severely sore hips so couldn't finish the job

from being incredibly offensive and self-

in the differences in dogs' temperaments, or perhaps
a lack of ability to perceive same.
The fact that you, Alison, have never met a dog to
whom corrections and discomfort, even pain, were
unim****tant does not mean that such dogs do not exist.
What it means is that you don't know as much about
dogs as you think you do, and you surely don't know
a damn thing about Harlan or anyone else's dog here.
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

It works with the right conditioning, timing, and appropriate
correction. The right timing requires that you spend time
waiting for the action to occur naturally and then apply the
appropriate correction if your dog has already received
proper conditioning.
In OTW, do that kind of stuff only if you're extremely
confortable with your dog and he's extremely comfortable
with you.

--Mike Dufort
author of the zero selling book
"CourteHOWES Canines"
Borrowed from: "Puppy Raising Tips" from
professional trainers, John and Amy Dahl.
"Around four months many puppies can withstand a
correction. Unfortunately this is the time they start
teething and if their mouth hurts, they may act
generally sensitive. If this is the case, be patient and
wait for all those baby teeth to fall out.
In training, retrievers often respond to physical correction
better than verbal correction. While "NO!" is extremely
useful if puppy is about to bite an electrical cord or steal
food off the table, when you are teaching them something
(like obedience) a sharp jerk on their lead or swat with a
stick gets the message across with less emotion and less
effect on their confidence.
If they drop the dummy and act like their mouth hurts
when they are teething, stop all retrieving and wait for
their mouth to feel better. A correction should be just
severe enough to get the dog to respond.
Repeated weak corrections are very stressful to the dog."

responding to my own post, I had to go back and look
at the original post, to remind myself what "we" are all
accused of doing:
"screaming, choking,
shocking, pinching, beating
the living crap out of your dogs"
Scream? no
Choke? no
Shock? e-collars are a lot more sophisticated than that
Pinch? if you want to classify a momentary discomfort
by a prong collar, go ahead, but unless you have first
hand experience with one, your opinion means nothing
Beat the living crap out of? hardly - no hitting exists

"From where I sit, there is a difference. I haven't noticed
any of the contingent who like Koehler trying to force
their method on everyone, or calling others names because
they do not use the method.
I personally believe the Koehler method is a more
humane way of teaching than any alternative I have
studied.
And I am not averse to learning--I have studied a
number of methods.
Koehler, of course, stops far short of the specialized
work I do with retrievers, and some of the things in his
book, such as making the dog walk behind the handler
on the "finish," are inappropriate for retriever work.
Why do I think Koehler's method is more humane than others?
First, I don't believe "corrections vs. no corrections" is as
significant to dogs as it is to people. Applied correctly,
Koehler's method uses *no* intimidation, fear, or emotional
manipulation. It is clear and definite, and the handler's
actions are always predictable. The method is masterfully
designed to prevent confrontation or vying for control in
any way. It places high demands of responsibility on the
trainer, and takes a great deal of commitment to do correctly,
so it is not for the casual "dabbler." When done well,very
few corrections are needed.
In brief, I think the clarity, predictability, and absence
of emotional blackmail weigh more strongly in the method's
favor, than the occasional brief unpleasantness of correction
weighs against it." lying frosty dahl.

Lori, I sincerely wish that were true. (the too bad
to save part)
There is innate temperament that is not shaped by treatment.
The dogs our rescue gets from horrible abuse cases
quickly proves that.
OTOH, I also see dogs that have never had a
single triggering incident who cannot be saved.
I've got such a client right now, a 9 month old
GSD who we've been fighting to save for months.
He's been seen by Jean Donaldson and Leslie Nelson
and a slew of others, and has received nothing by loving
care all his life.
His littermates are normal, his breeding excellent, and
there was no triggering event or medical cause. As
much as it breaks my heart, the dog cannot be saved.

Or, at the other end of the spectrum, Rocky cowers,

different. Right now, he's just getting the confidence

While Friday has been totally reliable unsupervised

Rocky will go looking for food even in areas where

The good thing is that he likes his crate, runs for

Hmm. You've got a point. Rocky is dog-dominant, a

Back at you with flat buckle collars. These are an

of handlers I see pulling back and jerking on the leash
with both hands.
It's a good thing that most of us are here because of
