You have been seriously misinformed.  Moore and Dahl are among the
more competent people around here.  You know all those FAQs posted to
rec.pets.dogs.info?  Cindy is the one responsible for maintaining and
posting them.  And neither of them are abusive.

As far as Howe, he's one of the LEAST competent people here,
and he's almost certainly responsible for misinforming you about
the others.

What Howe and other bedwetters, wankers and PeTA-pukes do
is latch onto some technique or other intended to train a particular
 life-threatening behavior out of a dog as a last resort, and claim
 that every person who agrees that that method used in that setting
is appropriate is a horrible sadist.  This is libel, pure and simple,
and if Howe keeps it up he may eventually find himself in civil court.

Example: dogs who must work near rattles****s are best and most
quickly trained to leave them alone via electonic-collar training,
performed by people who are familiar with E-collars and competent
 in their use.

This is analogous to slapping a child's hand when he reaches for a
hot stove -- a moment of very minor pain in exchange for a behavior
modification that will prevent major pain or crippling injury or even
death later.  Let someone express that opinion here, though, and Howe
will pursue that person relentlessly, spewing hateful crap about how
they're sadists who "get off" on shocking and burning dogs and trying
to sell people his magic sound box (which apparently does not even
exist) instead.

The man's a nut.  Don't pay any attention to him.  Don't take my
word for it, though -- hang around a little while, read others'
thoughts on him, and make up your own mind.

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."

"John ran out, grabbed Blackie by the collar, and gave the dog
 two or three medium whacks on the rump with a training stick
while holding him partially off the ground. John then told Blackie
 to sit, ran back to the line and cast him back to the dummies."

Course. Might as well try to HURT the dog to force it not to
want to run away. Dogs run away from their HOWESES for the
same reason kids do... they're usually abused and neglected,
even despite the daily jerk and choke and shock training.

That was on one of your illegal customer's dogs who didn't know

 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.

> So, jerry's techniques didnt' work for Peach?

Never had a chance to try them on her... I was still
using the e-fence and chains to keep her in the yard.

The suggestions I received here to keep Peach home
were: build a fence... wasn't going to happen.. we plan
on putting a modular home here within the next few years...
put more fence at the top of the pen I used so both dogs
 could play bitey face w/o tangling,  and similar suggestions.

Jerry was the only one to mention border training... but he
was kook supreme ;-P  So I ignored him... no killfiles with
webtv.. at that time Jerry had his own troll, somewhat like
Candace, so the group was not very conducive to learning
anything.  At one point I even b*tched about Jerry.

By the time I tried out Jerry's manual Peach had
already ran away.

Not very good at the google groups search but you'll find my
first post at "runaway dog message 30"  within that thread is
mention of the dogs taking off and being gone for 2 days.  I
stopped posting for a bit... my middle boy was devastated that
his dog was gone... Zelda came home but not her mom.

The next few posts from me were ones about/to Jerry.

Then Jerry made the WETM accessible for webbes,  I put it in
my e-mail ( no storage otherwise on webby unless you put stuff
on a webpage) and read it, read it and read it.

Once I understood what the concept was, I implemented it on
Zelda.  It worked and I now have a great housedog!

I only regret that my own distrust of Jerry caused me to lose
another wonderful dog. Peach was an absolute gem with little
kids.  I and my boys still miss her.  Sometimes I still look
to see if she came home when we get back from trips.  Maybe
Peach would still have ran away... I don't know and never
will....

I'm the one who ignored your advice. I did it
because of how you write/wrote. I was unwilling
to accept the idea that my using a shock collar
could have any bearing on Peach not wanting
to stay home.

Up until I started using it my main concern had
been keeping my dogs in their own yard.

Once I started using the e-fence... well, then my
concern became how to keep them from running
off for days on end.

I lost valuable training time becoming embroiled
in the anti-shock debate and the "Jerry sux" tirades.

 We just installed a PetSafe brand fence this Spring.
 Two dogs, two collars We now have one dog and
 no collars.

 Peach and Zelda would run thru the fence, not want
 to come back in the yard and would run for days.
 The last time, Peach didn't come back home.

 I used the Wit's End Training Manual to learn how
 to train my dog. She is now border trained.  A few
 minutes each day reinforces her desire to stay in
 the yard.

 She no longer runs out into the road, I can stop
 her from chasing cats and she no longer cringes
 when we walk around the yard.

 I can not say loud or long enough how much I
 hate the e-fence and its collars.  If you can't get
 a regular fence then you need to train your dog.

 I will never rely on an electronic collar to
 keep my dog in our yard again.

 The price was too high:-(

 I used the Wit's Ends Training manual to teach myself how
to interact with Zelda.  The first read through made no
sense to me...the second time through, things clicked and
the little lightbulb glowed.

I trained Zelda to stay in the yard, not chase cats, to come,
sit ,down, stop chewing toys and to be quiet when she barks
at things she hears outside.

I don't care if 99% of the manual came from 99 other trainers...
I needed the info, it was offered free of charge and any questions
can be asked of Jerry.

One thing about his method, although you can "spot" train
with it, it works best by a pyramid approach.IOW start
at the beginning and go through the exercises in the order
he has them wrote.

The part about "non-physical praise" confused me until I
tried a little experiment.  I petted Zelda and told her
what a good girl she was...she enjoyed it, tail wagging.

I then put my hand away from her (behind my back) and
praised her...she got very wiggly, ****ged me with her nose,
pawed at me and wanted more praise.  Not very scientific,
I know, but it was interesting to me how excited she got.

I find that I'm starting to use Jerry's method to "train"
my kids as well:-)

Hi Misty!

I had just about exactly the same experience with Jerry's manual.

I had visited quite a few dog-training web sites, and, while they
didn't recommend anything too harsh, they all emphasized that
 I must "assert my dominance" over the pup.

Anytime I tried doing that (just once or twice) it produced a
distinctly negative result... The pup got scared and ran away.

When I took the approach of simply making myself into the most
im****tant and desirable thing in her world, she responded incredibly
well.  Now I can even break off a rabbit chase instantly (which I do
NOT want to allow, as I live in a rural area with chickens and
livestock) just by calling her once in a calm, affectionate voice.

Your kids and your dog are adorable, BTW!

You can see my pup at
http://www.geocities.com/viscouspuppy
Check the "more pictures" link -- like your dog, Holly
is more than happy to do an "alpha rollover" when I use
the gentle, non-confrontational approach Jerry recommends.

 dog trainer must succeed. By nature, "Command" mentality
makes dog trainers a curmudgeonly lot. The deeper a dog
behavior digs in, the more willing a good trainer is to do
what it takes to uproot the undesired behavior.

This willingness to tackle what results in a battle of wills
is well pronounced in dog trainers. And if you think that's
something, try horse trainer lists, where the ante is upped X
1000 pounds and poor results can KILL you!

However, "nice little horsey " types are rarely successful
in horse training and rather self extingui****ng bringing
about more moderation in established techniques.

"I would not allow that behavior AT ALL. Inconsistancies
are going to come back and bite you. I don't understand
how, you as a trainer, don't comprehend this.

 Having a 100% reliable dog does not

A well-trained dog is a lifestyle.

You teach a dog to LEAVE it. A dog should be
taught to obey. I can call any of my dogs off
in full chase and ask them to drop anything
they are doing, and they will.

I have one too. I don't know her past history,or her age.

I use an antibark collar on her for my sanity. She's very
quiet, until I take it off. It doesn't train her not to bark,
because she barks when the collar is off. (beagles "Do
that")

 There may not even be batteries in it, but she doesn't
bark... just in  case.I'd supervise the first time you try
it, because I've heard of some dogs barking, and going
so spazzy over them that they died.

 I really don't think you are going to train a dog that
age, especially a beagle, NOT to bark.  I see your
options as being:

  1) anti-bark collar
       a)citronella
       b)electronic
       c)bark buster (your neighbors will
       probably complain asmuch about
       that as the howlng)
 2) surgical debarking
 3) placing the dog and accepting the consequences
 4) moving

First, I know of a dog with an antibark collar, who
protested so violently, he spazzed out and killed himself.

He was found dead in his kennel the next morning.

 I plan on crating Tuck whenever NOT supervised
 (which isn't often.. he usually is with me) Until the
 day that he quits tearing apart everything in sight
 when I leave the room.

 A dog proof room doesn't work.

 He's figured out door knobs. He's figured out cupboards,
 and he loves to tug open dresser drawers.  He's not
 interested  in anything  left out in the open.

 He's into treasure hunting, figuring  anything worth
 secreting away is worth his effort discovering. He's
 discovered the sock stash is in drawers.

 Trash cans? --not interested.
 Counter tops? --not interested
 Counter tops -with food? --not interested
 Dog food sitting on the floorin open bags? --not interested

 razor blades from bathroom drawers?  ...  Very cool stuff!

 Mom really gets bent too!

 nope.. His crate is going to be occupied for
 some time to come.

 As for the beagle.. She's never been trustworthy.

She's getting senile and never will be trustworthy,
so a crate is in her future until she crosses the bridge.

 Reka, no crate at no time,  She lost her crate when she was
 5 months old.  Both Tuck, and reka hangout in  crates by choice.

 Reka dens in the bathtub usually. (kind of a crate) But she
 likes the beagles vantage point, because the beagles crate
 is on top of Tuck's. Right next to the window so she can see
 out.  Tuck prefers the compartment with a view as well.

 I always have to vacate him (even though the crate on top is
 too small for both elkhounds, it's their preferred lookout)
 when I wantto stick in the beagle.

 Reka sleeps under the bed at night or in the bathtub at night
 if it's really hot. She sleeps in the  bathtub by day when not
 watching from the penthouse suite.

 Tuck is not crated at night, and has chosen to sleep in
 the closet. The beagle holds down the couch, night and day.

 Taya IS a 1/2 a cup a day  for food elkie. When i told mom and dad
 that she ate 5 POUNDS, we all marveled, my goodness! Where did she
 put it all!

 She went to the emergency vet clinic last night in a snowstorm
 along 60 miles of ice slick roads, & blowing snow. The price
wasn't bad $120 but she had pancreatitis.

Crap, I should have induced vomiting when I realized it had happened.

Going from a regular diet of ounces in a day to 5 pounds
was bound to cause problems!

She seemed fine at the time, and I didn't think about it.

  It could have been worse. There was NO fat in those summer sausages,
  because they were homemade. No greasy texture, and much better than
  any you buy. Because there was no fat, I had figured pancreatits
  wasn't going to be a factor.

 Wrong again.

Actually, I borrowed the vets office kitten once for a
couple days for school education on pet care and safe
handling as well as responsible pet owner****p.
I kept the kitten over night in a crate within a crate
and yet my dog (yes,  Angelic Danny, as well as Taya
and Toby tore that kittne to threads from between the
crate bars. (apparently he stuck his paws through the
crate to bat at the dogs. I was out doing yard work
and rushed in to find the little kittens pieces and
parts being torn through by ALL the dogs.

I called my girl friend to come get my dogs. I screamed
displeasure, and stalked out with the kitten. Danny, et
al spent 3 days in a kennel until I finally felt like I
could interact with them without doing bodily harm. All
three dogs were never touched, but knew they had done
something so unspeakable that I wouldn't associate with
them and they got banished.

To this day, Taya (mom and Dad's dog) and Danny will not
look at a cat. When confronted with one, Danny wees
himself and cowers hiding behind me for help.

I'm not saying this would work this way with all dogs, But mom
and dad now have a house cat, and she has never been
harmed by  any of the dogs. Danny is there all the time,
unsupervised, and has no interest in harming the cat.

I guess if I felt Danny was threatened, it's the way I would react.
There would be none left standing to deal with the threat just in
 case.

If someone hurt him, I would not let borders or
continents stop me from pursuing justice.

Then again, I always feed Danny INSIDE. If someone is feeding
his dog outside, his own dog might not mean THAT much to him.

If he was feeding his dog outside though, many dogs are food
 aggressive, and that could most certainly spark a dog aggression
 thing. (and if the dog was penned quietly outside, what was it
doing in his yard?)

I shot a neighbors dog one night for chasing my horses and called
him to help me find it. I would do the same for threatening my dog.

My husband shot a dog that had been tearing up trash up and down
 our road for years making an unbelievable mess. When we finally
killed the culprit, the whole road cheered. Animal control had never
 been able in years to catch this critter. (we think it was feral it
was certainly unkempt enough to have been....and it had been shot
 at by  MANY of the neighbors, but it never frightened it off enough
to keep  it from NOT tearing up the road the next trash day)

I know this advice is late, and I hope it's not hurtful at this point,
but we got an electric fence Cubbe, and it's working great.

She used to escape the regular fence and cause us all the anxiety
 you're currently going through.  Every time we though we'd thought
 of everything to make the fence secure, she'd find another way out.

 The wire for the electric fence now goes up next to the real
 fence so she gets zapped if she goes too near.

Now she can enjoy running around her yard but can't get close
enough to the fence to figure out a way under, over or through.

Best wishes.  I really do know what you're going through.

Even the slightest punishment was wrong for Cubbe at

She trusts us now as I mentioned in a recent post.

Point is, she's been rewarded for coming, but she's
never been punished, even in the mildest way, for
not coming.

Is it time for that?

 After talking with the vet yesterday and watching
 Cubbe all day today, I'm convinced that the shaking
 is behavioral, not physical. Naturally I'll continue
 keeping an eye on her, but when I add everything
 up, I don't see symptoms of anything neurological--
 and the vet agrees.

I think sedating her with benedryl until she was overly sleepy, and
injecting her with Epsom salts IV should cause such chemical
imbalance that it should do the trick.

I'm not sure how humane that would be, It would cause a heart attack.
Well placed gun shots are probably the most immediate, effective and
humane, but then, you said that was not acceptable. Carbon dioxide is
NOT humane.. it's slow and agonizing as the other g***** in car

 if you are willing to be trolled.  Using firearms
is not the most palatable way to put a dog down, but
sometimes it IS the most humane. For instance. I live
10 miles from a vet not an unreasonable distance  for
routine care.

But one day, I was outside the fence in the company of
my dog, when the phone rang inside the house. I ran in
the door, and it was my dad. I said, "Dad, the dog did
not come in with me, I'll call you back"

Not aware that my dog had crossed the road to visit the
children getting off the school bus across the street,
I assumed her to be in her usual haunts, out in the back
pasture or barns.

I called her to come, and called her directly into the
path of a speeding car. She got hit directly on the
license plate and was thrown about 30 yards.

I knew exaclty what had happened, when I heard the
sickening thud, and her screams.

I rushed to her, and saw the blood streaming from her
ears and nose. her mangled little body irreparable. I
knew she was going to die. She quit screaming when I
went to her side. I went to move her, and she started
screaming even louder.

I knew moving her was only causing her greater agony.
She was in enough, and the outcome was not going to be
any better.

I decided to not put her through any more, and I left
her screaming, went in the house, got the handgun, and
returned. I gave her a tearful hug and apology. And I
did the hardest thing I've ever done in my whole life.

I took her pain, and made it my own. She immediately
slumped and went limp, and was silent. Quick. Taking
her to the vet was the poorer alternative.

in later years, I released a dog from the pound. She
was dumped for biting.  Knowing that most of the time,
a dog that bites is the child's fault, I brought her
home to see if she was salvageable in a childless home.

She at least deserved an evaluation.  She seemed fine,
then the following day, with no provocation, she lunged
for my throat. This was an unprovoked attack, and I knew
there was probably something physically wrong with the
dog (perhaps a brain tumor?) and regardless, she was a
HUGE liability risk, and I could never place her.

So I took her to the vet for euthanasia.

The vet kept sticking her for 15 minutes, and it was the
ugliest screaming death I ever witnessed.... until I had
my old 18 year old companion diagnosed with systemic
organ failure. Her old body wore out. I took her to the vet.

Apparently poor circulation caused her not to use the
euthanasia shot properly. The vet kept giving her one
shot after another, and she dies a slow agonizing death,
screaming, and looking at me in betrayal and dismay.

I wanted to grab her from the vet, and take her home,
and shoot her. It would have been over faster.

Then I took Danny in for Euthanasia. The best dog I've
ever had. The vet stuck him, and he went down HARD,
screaming.

He screamed for about 10 minutes.

If a vet was going to get a dog right, this one he HAD
to, and he didn't. I was furious. I'm forever sorry I
took him to the vet, but the violence of shooting him
was just unnacceptable to me.

These are THREE different vets.

I've witnessed hundreds of vet euthanasias that went
uneventfully. But those THREE failures stick forever
in my mind. Two on  dogs very near and dear to me.

If I could accept the violence and had the fortitude
to do the job myself, those dogs would have never
needlessly suffered. A bullet properly placed is quick
and final.

Perhaps the OP has had not so good experiences, and
just wants to be sure the job is done right. I don't
necessarily consider them a troll (however I strongly
suspect that they are, and if they have to ask what
caliber to use, they probably are not a good enough
shot that they should attempt this)

For the record, The Puppy wizard over-rates himself.  But
"his" (tm) methods are pretty much tried and true methods
 that trainers have used and some still use today.

There are better methods out there now. But the ones posted
in his manual (now that he has removed the advice to SPIKE
a dog's temperature to dangerous levels) are sound. they work..
no matter what we  think of the puppy-wizard and  his packaging...
"his methods" <cough> are just as valid as anyone else's

"His methods" can stand some updating, and he definitely
needs to look at some repackaging.

Hopefully others add a slicker delivery to grab attention,
but truthfully, when you look at the cat fights that go on
here, and stand back and watch in perspective, it's rather
hard to determine the sane ones from the lunatics.

In fact, an awful lot of people here come off looking
rather tainted. A person needs to have a good filtering
device to sort out the noise.

TPW just has a problem that's too painfully obvious.

This is not true, unless you're willing to kiss his, uh, ring.
If you're not, he considers you his enemy -- no matter how you
really feel about him -- and will just abuse you.

Of course, his sheep have always ignored
this and will probably continue to do so.
