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

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."

Dog to dog and dog to person,, with dogs who are

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

 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

 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.

          Back at you with flat buckle collars.  These are an

          of handlers I see pulling back and jerking on the leash

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."

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?

would like to contact some of your former

 IME there are lots of soft Labs, and some of the recent
 field-bred dogs are among the worst.  In the 60's, when
 you worked with them, if I understand correctly, they
 were probably more consistently tough and resilient.

 That's the traditional nature of the breed.

 Trainer Mike Lardy thinks we are getting the softer,
 more sensitive dogs today because training methods
 using modern e-collars are so much better and more
 gentle than they used to be, it doesn't take a tough
 dog to come through training in good shape.  I think
  it's a plausible argument.

 Doesn't fit the stereotype the ignorant have of e-collars.
 We still get a few that are happy and eager no
  matter what we do to them.

      Kyle,  FWIW, i thought it was pretty funny,
      and i often call my little dog the turd, because
      he is one. Some folks think its HORRRIBLE i
      would insult my dog like that so i guess its just a
      matter of personality.

      Kyle, the best way to teach him to stay away is to
      step on him once. Seriously.

                      And then he sez:

"I don't know how big you are, kiddo, so this may
not be as easy for you as it is for me, but use
a little "knee action," that is, as the dog goes
charging by you, just give the dog a little bop
with your knee and ****n.  Yep, really lean into it.

Even knock her over, if you can, but make sure to

make her think twice about ru****ng past you again -
- which is exactly what you want her to do.

Don't bother with scolding her, she'll get the message.

If it happens again, just REPEAT the knee action.

When she steps on your toes, just pick up your foot
abruptly and ****ge her with your knee.  Again, no
scolding is necessary here, so you don't have to
worry about her "over-reacting."

I don't think this is necessarily a lack of respect
for you, just a lack of training.  That is, she just
needs *more* of it."

 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.

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.
