 Nope.  No more than you'd convince Patch that
 prongs and e-collars, in the right hands, are not
 intrinsically abusive; or that dogs trained properly
 with prongs or e-collars are not fearful, in pain, or
 intimidated; or that any one of us here knows our

 who has never seen them or us...hmmm.

 I'm starting to see some similarities here.

I guess this is just one of those instances in which I feel
that the US is turning into a nation of victims.  And please,
don't anybody jump all over me, because I am not talking about
anyone personally. Everything seems to be a compensatable (not
sure if that's actually a word) disability.  If 3/4 of the people are
physically disabled or mentally ill, what's 'normal'?

Terrible parents, painful childhoods, physical illnesses,
psychological problems, etc. are all part of who a person is,
and therefore how s/he sees the world and interacts in it. But
life isn't about who you are and what you've got, it's what
you do with it.

 For me anyway, the more I think of myself as
partially disabled, the more I am that way.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like Dr. Phil.

 from being incredibly offensive and self-
righteous, this post shows and absence of knowledge
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
suffer (at least I guess that's what you meant by
"you cause your dog suffers" - - must be the King's
English you guys talk about over there) means that
you are an ignorant, arrogant, insensitive person

  Um, may I suggest a re-wording that might make

  misinterpreted as "pick the puppy up by the scruff
  of the neck and shake the puppy in the air"?

  I think I'd phrase it something like "if the puppy
  is very persistant, it  can be appropriate to take
  hold of the loose skin at the back of the neck and
  give a slight shake to the *skin*".

  Janet's not talking about actually shaking
  the puppy, which I think we ALL agree is
  abusive."

They can be difficult to recognize when they pretend to be someone
else.  It must be a pretty fun game, as both Jerry and Mikey devote a
lot of time to it, especially when one considers what busy people they

There is some controversy about the humane-ness of citronella collars
because dogs' noses are so sensitive.  I've tried citronella collars
on our kenneled adoption dogs, and they didn't appear to be able to
figure out the connection between their noise and the squirt.

Now that's a pretty foolproof method of dealing

I don't know that Sibes generally go home on their own; many don't,
or they wouldn't end up in shelters.  I don't know if it's coincidence
that one of our permanent Sibes did this and one of our fosters did
too.  But I think Siberians *can* find their way home, at least based
on my experience, where Greyhounds apparently usually can't.  I don't
know why Greyhounds can't; I guess it doesn't occur to them to use
their noses to sniff their way back home.

Of course, Greyhounds often are several miles away from home by
 the time they stop and consider what they're doing.  In our case, it
took our Siberian to find our Greyhound.  doG knows what would
have happened to Matty if not for Tasha, since he wouldn't come to
us.

Guess we would have had to try darting him.

Invisible fences should not be used (except as reinforcerment for
normal-height fences ) with northern breeds and sighthounds, period.

OK, living in this house is an epileptic Greyhound that hasn't had a

Siberian that has a GM seizure every year or so, and a very badly bred
Miniature Dachshund that has atypical apparent seizure activity at
irregular intervals (but once on the same day the IG had one).  So
half an hour ago, I hear strange cat howling noises from the kitchen,

If we had known that the vet was going to treat it as MMM regardless

Specialists are great and all that, but I think he did a lot of tests
just because he could.  That internist is gone from our vet's practice
now, and at first I was sorry, but now I'm not so sure.  Yesterday I
took Abby the kitty in because I thought she might be hyperthyroid.
She isn't, but she probably has IBD.  I asked the vet how they'd treat
it, and he said that if the specialist were there he'd scope her and
then they'd treat with prednisone.  Since the specialist isn't there,
he's going to treat with prednisone because she has the symptoms
(she's also 15, and I wouldn't want to put her through endoscopy).

Subject: Re: Fear aggression

While most of my dogs are well-behaved when left alone unconfined,
my Whippets are not, and it is simply not possible to sufficiently
proof' my home from dogs that can jump baby gates and get onto
tables and counters when no one is home.

No, of course they don't do that when we're
home, but they sure do when we're gone.

They aren't really destructive, though my female that enjoys
chewing up plastic, but they're very food oriented, and their
definition of food differs from ours, so they're crated for
their own protection.  I've found crate training to be very
useful when a dog is ill or injured and needs to be confined
for medical purposes; and this happens more often than you
might think.

I hate to spoil the image of cruel Americans locking up their
dogs in boxes all day, but, well, it's  BS, so there you go.

To the OP:  it's very difficult to say what's going on with
your dog without observing him.  I've had several very fearful
dogs, one of which had some minor fear aggression when she felt
absolutely trapped, but this resolved on its own as she became
more confident.

If there are specific things which trigger Sunny's fear aggression,
you could work on desensitizing her to those things, but in general,
I think you need either a behaviorist or a very good trainer who
deals with aggression problems.

I don't know about yours, but all the Siberians we've had maintain
some degree of aloofness.  They're affectionate, sleep on the bed and
all that, but they're always independent.  When a Sibe gets clingy,
it's a good indication that something's wrong.  As ours age, though,
they become a bit less independent.  A couple of weeks ago, Tasha,
who was on the bed, crawled over and curled up right next to me,
almost on top of me, and cuddled.

She was trembling a bit, and I thought she might be about to have
another seizure, but the moment passed.  I imagined calling the vet:
"I need to bring Tasha in because she's cuddling."

How bittersweet that you and Duncan bonded more toward the end
of his life than in the years before.  He always knew who he loved

Heh.  Probably confuses the dogs, too.  I'll have to keep that
in mind if I have to break up a fight again.  Keeping calm is
always recommended, but usually harder than actually breaking
up the fight.

The fights we've had in the last few years are nothing compared
to the ones between the Sibe and Dal (one of the worst things about
their fights was that once you separated them, you had to hold onto
them and be *very*careful, because if they got half a chance, they'd
go after each other again.

The Dal always started it, but Tasha, as you might
guess, never backed down.  Anyway, it's easier to
stay calm now because I know the dogs don't have
death as a goal, as they seemed to.

Staying calm also has a lot to do with the dogs'
behavior when you try to break up the fight.

Koehler On Correcting The Housebreaking Backslider.

"If the punishment is not severe enough, some of these
"backsliders" will think they're winning and will
continue to mess in the house. An indelible impression
can sometimes be made by giving the dog a hard
spanking of long duration, then leaving him tied by
the mess he's made so you can come back at twenty
minute intervals and punish him again for the same
thing. (Dogs are REALLY stupid. J.H.)

In most cases, the dog that deliberately does this
disagreeable thing cannot be made reliable by the
light spanking that some owners seem to think is
adequate punishment. It will be better for your dog,
as well as the house, if you really pour it on him."

"Housebreaking Problems:

"The Koehler Method of Dog Training"
Howell Book House, 1996"

Occasionally, there is a pup who seems determined to
relieve himself inside the house, regardless of how
often he has the op****tunity to go outside. This dog
may require punishment. Make certain he is equipped
with a collar and piece of line so he can't avoid
correction.

When you discover a mess, move in fast, take him to
the place of his error, and hold his head close enough
so that he associates his error with the punishment.
Punish him by spanking him with a light strap or
switch. Either one is better than a folded newspaper.

It is im****tant to your future relation****p that you
do not rush at him and start swinging before you get
hold of him.

When he's been spanked, take him outside. Chances
are, if you are careful in your feeding and close
observation, you will not have to do much puni****ng.

Be consistent in your handling.

To have a pup almost house-broken and then force
him to commit an error by not providing an op****tunity
to go outside is very unfair. Careful planning will
make your job easier.

The same general techniques of housebreaking apply
to grown dogs that are inexperienced in the house.

For the grown dog who was reliable in the house and
then backslides, the method of correction differs
somewhat. In this group of "backsliders" we have the
"revenge piddler." This dog protests being alone by
messing on the floor and often in the middle of a bed.

The first step of correction is to confine the dog
closely in a part of the house when you go away, so
that he is constantly reminded of his obligation. The
fact that he once was reliable in the house is proof
that the dog knows right from wrong, and it leaves
you no other course than to punish him sufficiently
to convince him that the satisfaction of his
wrongdoing is not worth the consequences. If the
punishment is not severe enough, some of these
"backsliders" will think they're winning and will
continue to mess in the house.

An indelible impression can sometimes be made
by giving the dog a hard spanking of long duration,
then leaving him tied by the mess he's made so you
can come back at twenty minute intervals and punish
him again for the same thing.

In most cases, the dog that deliberately does this
disagreeable thing cannot be made reliable by the
light spanking that some owners seem to think is
adequate punishment.

It will be better for your dog, as well as the house,
if you really pour it on him.

I dont' jerk or choke my dog (the little one is
too little yet for a pinch collar).  They simply
wear pinch collars.

It prevents any jerking or choking on their part.

I do crate my dogs - the big one only at the dog
club and to travel, and the little one so he can
become accustomed to being in a crate.

He is learning to enjoy it and to use it as a place
to rest from the playing that he and Kavik do
..
I used binaca to quiet Kavik's in class whining
that disturbed the class. It would be quite difficult
to binaca a dog that is in a crate.

I did hit him in the eye accidentally, and stopped
using it at that time.  Jerry, have you NEVER made
an error in training the dogs you have trained?

How many dogs have you trained exactly?
Can you list some references here - I
would like to contact some of your former
clients to get a reference or two?

  lyinglynn writes to a new foster care giver:
  For barking in the crate - leave the leash on and
  pass it through the crate door.  Attach a line to
  it. When he barks, use the line for a correction.-
  if necessary, go to a citronella bark collar,"  Lynn K.

           "Training is not confrontation,"Lynn K.
                   <except when it is>

      "Unfortunately, some confrontation is necessary,
      just to be able to handle the dogs.  For example,
      we need to crate train a dog immediately because
      they are usually in need of medical care and they
      are in foster homes with other dogs. It's a safety
      necessity," lying "I LOVE KOEHLER" lynn.

           "Training is not confrontation,"Lynn K.

     "So what?  Whoever said that it's right to
     always not confront?  We sure can try, but
     a dog who knows a command and growls when

 from being incredibly offensive and self-
righteous, this post shows and absence of knowledge
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
suffer (at least I guess that's what you meant by
"you cause your dog suffers" - - must be the King's
English you guys talk about over there) means that
you are an ignorant, arrogant, insensitive person
who is not worth further notice.

 Nope.  No more than you'd convince Patch that
 prongs and e-collars, in the right hands, are not
 intrinsically abusive; or that dogs trained properly
 with prongs or e-collars are not fearful, in pain, or
 intimidated; or that any one of us here knows our
 own dogs and their reactions better than someone
 who has never seen them or us...hmmm.

 I'm starting to see some similarities here.

Hello everyone:

If you have followed some of my posts, you know
something about the ongoing story of Muttley, the
large GSD/Chow dog I have been trying to adopt
or place in a better home.

I will add a bit more history later in this post.

Last Tuesday, toward the end of Janet's obedience
class, Muttley and I had just finished fairly successfully
performing a sit/stay/come routine, and then he was
sitting by my side.

The final routine was to be a "down", which Muttley
 has had some difficulty with, and frankly I have not
 had the time to work with him much on that.

I was kneeling at his side, trying to hold his collar
while pu****ng his front legs down to the position,
while he resisted. Suddenly he lunged, knocking
me over onto the parking lot, and I lost grip of the
leash as I reflexively broke my fall.

Muttley took the op****tunity to attack a young black
 male Lab to my left, and it was a very brutal attack.
Janet and the instructors tried to gain control, and as
soon as I could get to my feet I grabbed the leash and
pulled him off.

That was  the end of the class, and the other dog,
Bernie, was taken to an animal hospital for treatment.

 When everyone had left, Janet counseled me about
 what should be done about Muttley.

She said this was more than ordinary aggression,
and only intensive (and expensive) one on one
training would have any chance at working, and
in any case, he was not suited to group training.

She advised me that Muttley could be dangerous,
and she recommended that he be euthanized.

"They can't all be saved".

If I did not have to worry about my cat, I would
probably keep him, and I am certain I could avoid
any more dangerous episodes. I probably would
not have taken him to obedience cl***** at this time
if that was not such a difficult issue, and if people
here had not essentially shamed me into doing so.

Then he would only be a bratty dog with a mind of
his own, but he would not have been identified as
dangerous.

It seems to me that applying stern corrections, by
popping a choker chain, prong collar, or whatever,
is a way to ensure compliance by instilling a fear
of further punishment.

Sure, if it is administered very consistently
 by a confident trainer, the dog soon learns
 to obey. There was no positive reinforcement,
 so what remains is negative.

Also, I recall the time you were going to show me
 how I could get Muttley to take his rawhide treat
from me without lunging for it. When you offered

 it to him, he refused to take it. This IMHO is likely
 a fear behavior.

Things have changed a lot since then, and I have
learned a lot, and Muttley has settled down quite
 a bit. I probably still give him too much freedom
to think on his own, but that's just my way of
doing things, and that's probably not going to
change much. He may never win an obedience
medal, but I don't think he is dangerously out
of control, either.

Paul and Muttley

               ----------------

"I thought I was told that the way to get the dog to go
down was to make him sit and then step on the leash.
That was awkward and didn't seem to work.

I will confess that I only tried the "down" position
 once or twice at home, and I also often used it
 instead of "Off" when I wanted him to stop
jumping on me or elsewhere I didn't want him to be.

I had to give him corrections every few seconds,
and also just about kick him, to keep him at my
left side.

Muttley is really a very sweet and loving dog, but
 he needs more socialization with other dogs. However,
it is very likely that I will have him put down in a week."

 seems I have been dealing with this a bit lately.
Dog to dog and dog to person,, with dogs who are
obviously overstimulated by what's in front of them.

What's in front of them varies from people at the door
to dogs in their path or directly in their face.  The dogs
in question all have very poor self control.

 I have dog(s) with not-so-great-natural self control,
 so it's something we constantly work on.  We don't
 have redirected stuff going on, because we have enough
obedience to avoid it.

While I know that's the big answer for the dogs in
 question as well, I'm curious what things people have
 found useful to redirect/focus/gain attention from
drivey dogs or just very distracted of over-the-top dogs.

We're having success with my recommendations, but I'm
always open to something novel that may be the hot ticket.

          Back at you with flat buckle collars.  These are an
          incredibly abused training tool, what with the number
          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
          dogs' well-being and not an agenda.
