 the years have went by we've come to a compromise
on some things and he's mellowed a TINY bit.

I've never had problems with him destroying things in the
house from what I can tell I seem to be the lucky one.  Most
people tend to have problems with this & labs.  He will stay
in the yard now but I have to watch him because first chance
he gets he sneaks out.   When I lived on the mountain he
wore a cowbell outside when he was loose so I could hear
where he was at.  In the house he is a velco doggie, no
matter where I'm at he has to be there.  I can get up and
cross the room to another chair and he will get up and move
closer.

I have worked on the sit n stay for years and his attention
span is about 60 seconds then he's off looking for me.  The
biggest problem over the years has been his antisocial
behavior with other dogs.  He was attacked by another dog as
a pup and when he reached the age of about 2 he did a 360 on
the attitude and other dogs.  He now thinks he has to attack
them before they get to attack him.  Now no matter how big
the other dog is he thinks he can take it.  I can honestly
say there are only 3 dogs that he's ever gotten along with
and that I'd trust him not to attack.  One is my dog Brandy
and the other are my sisters chihuahua's.  I can't figure
this one out since the one a mouthy little **** and barks
all the time but Barney puts with him.

The newest problem is he thinks he has to go everywhere with
me. Since I got a new car that is low enough he can get in
an out of easily he has a lead foot.  There are mornings
when I'm getting ready to go for work that I have an awful
time getting him to go inside.  He thinks he should go to
work with me....LOL

All I can say is good luck and keep working at it.  Sooner
or later a light seems to go on and they finally get it.

Subject: Re: Collateral damage/bark collar

Since you are home why not get an ecollar that you
completely control.  I bought one of these and used
it to train Lady for the quiet command.

She would go outside and flip out barking at absolutely
nothing and there was no shutting her up.  The one I
bought has a tone button and a stimulation button with
10 levels from 1 to 10.

Some people absolutely hate these things and in my situation
it was either get her under control or send her back to the
farm.  It was the best 90.00 I have ever spent.

It took less than 3 days to get through to her that
quiet meant to stop barking.  I give her the command
QUIET and would tone her and she'd hesitate a second
then back into it. I would then repeat QUIET and tone
her again I repeated this 3 times before I started
using the stimulation.   It took a level 4 to get her
to stop and in less than 3 days she was over it.

 She now knows what QUIET means and I also used it in
training her to stop chasing rabbits.  She still chases
them out of the yard but knows that she doesn't run
around the end of the fencing at the bottom of the
drive way after them.

Probably so. But dogs do tend to go to the door
and stare at it and then whine cry and bark. Just
like HOWE they do to their people. It's probably
up to the dog's FEELINS whether he's gonna prefer
goin to the door and whining or standing in front

And yet, I can tell you from first hand experience that
this claim is justified (except the part about "sitting
****d", for which we have to take The Amazing Puppy Wizard's
word) in the case of two dogs who are living half the world
away from him - MY two dogs.

For instance, he told me exactly what to do when Bonnie was
barking with excitement as someone she loved was arriving,
and his advice worked... like magic!

Also, his advice about how to deal with her fear of thunder
was the ONLY thing that could calm her down.

Good. I've got a lot in common with folks who are gentle

Yes, one of my students Paul B wrote an excellent post
recently I'll include it at the bottom. It'll explain
HOWE the distraction and praise process works from his
POV as an experience handler using my methods.

Why? That should be spontaneous and in association
with every glance towards you and every thought.

 > It's so hard not to pet and stroke the dog (especially
 > our seven month old).

Oh. Patting is O.K., only not in conjunction with a
thought or command, as it will interrupt the thought
process and may lock the dog's thoughts on an
inappropriate idea.

 > Can you give me the rationale behind that?

It's called positive thigmotaxis, the opposition reflex.
Like if we're walking our dog and want to prevent him
from interacting with another dog, and we pull back
on the collar, that often triggers the dog to go out of
control.

As long as there's contact on the collar, the dog will
continue his original thoughts about interacting with
the passerby. Then because the dog is out of control,
the handler needs to further force restraint, making
communication with the dog's MIND, impossible.

 > It will help me modify my own behavior.

Any time your dog is close enough to be patted is
fine to pat him, as long as we're not working with a
command or thought we want him to process.

 > Anyway, your approach is amazing.

Yes, it's caused quite a stir here. If my methods are as
effective and fast and safe as I claim and my students
confirm, that pretty much means that all of my critics
are DEAD WRONG, and all's that's left  for me to
do is shovel some dirt over them over and let 'em push

Philip,

I don't have a problem with giving him Deramaxx.  He's
been on it for two years the only reason we took him off
it was due to the cancer.

NOTHING is going to cure the cancer this is the 3rd round
the mast cell cancer he has had and this is completely
inoperable and I will not put him through chemo or radiation.

I am more interested in his quality of life for the remainder
of his life.  He has for years taken glucosamine & condroiten
supplements with the approval of his orthpedic vet.

Barney has had ACL surgery on both is [sic] knees and has extensive
arthritis no supplement will ever give him total complete pain
relief and I sure am not willing to use something for a month
waiting for it to work.

Jerry!

You helped me with my pal Dundee about a year ago
regarding submissive peeing.  Just wanted to let you
know he's doing great- he was "cured" in about 2 days
using your techniques!

He has since become the "smartest dog in the world"!
Once I stopped thinking like a human and got inside his
head, I can teach him ANYTHING, usually in a matter
of minutes.  Makes me look like an expert dog-trainer.

I rescued two strays last week, cleaned 'em up, wormed
'em, and am getting them their shots. Time to get inside
their heads and teach them to teach themselves how to
be good dogs!

Instead of feeling like "training" is a chore, I look forward
to working with these guys a couple times a day...

Although I don't follow your instructions "to a T", I learned
from you to "think like a dog" and stimulate their brain rather
than beating ass or pinching, or any of that nonsense.

I know damn well I would NOT be loyal to someone who beat MY ass
lol!

Well, just wanted to thank you for rattling the bushes
out there and teaching folks the RIGHT way to "train" dogs.

A horseman friend of mine uses very similar techniques in
training his horses- he calls it "natural horseman****p".  He
is hated by nearly all the local "trainers" yet somehow he
repeatedly wins at every show he attends. He rarely shows
any more, but goes now and then to rub their noses in it
(pun intended)...  Too cool....

Have a great holiday season and keep up the good work!

 I gotta speak up here... We've been using Jerry's
methods with our dog.  We had the same problem as the
original poster has with Buzz.  One day working with the
family pack exercise and practicing the recall command
with the family and she'll now go out with hubby and
daughter instead of needing me to reassure her or even
refusing to go with anyone but me.

I really urge you, regardless of the negative things you
might hear about Jerry & Wits' End here, to try the method
and *judge the results for yourself*.

Let's see what other areas she's improved in... always
comes when called, not chewing stuff even if we leave
it laying around, "re"housebroken after long shelter stay,
walks perfectly on leash, doesn't try to steal food from
our plates or beg... probably a few more things I'm
forgetting to mention. *(Yeah, the kats lay off the koi
and don't wander. jh).

That's in about a week's time.

Her overall demeanor has changed.  When we brought
her home she was very untrusting and ultra-submissive
(except with her area/toys where she was possessive and
nippy).

She had been abused and beaten by previous owners,
then she was in a shelter for months.  They (most of them)
wanted to give up and kill her  Now she's gained confidence
and trust with us.  Last night was another big breakthrough
(in my eyes).  She barked!  Big deal, she barked just once
when she heard the front door.  Great!

Anyway, you'll be told lots of nasty stuff about Jerry or that
the Wits' End manual is culled from other sources.  In my
opinion, even if it is, it takes only the good stuff and leaves
out the bad.  Works for me.

(And I suppose I gotta say this... I don't know Jerry personally.
I've emailed him and instant messaged him.  I have not bought a
"Doggy Do Right". He's offered help for free.)

Yo****: Bark, bark,

Yo****: Bark, bark...........

us: Hush You****

Yo****: BARK, BARK, BARK, .........

it stopped when Yo**** got tired barking

We decided to try the Jerry method:

Yo****: BARK, BARK

US: GOOD Yo****, Good Boy, who is it?

Yo****: Bark, Bark

US: It's ok, good boy Yo****, We know them.

Yosh without fail, now stops after we say that.
I must say, it is so much more fun, when we

Hello.
I never posted here (or anywhere) before.
I never trained or owned a dog before this
year.

I downloaded the Wit's End, read it, corresponded
with Mr. Howe and trained my dog to come and to
stop barking in a weekend.

Our dog, Jake, had been treated with kindness the
whole time we had him, about 10 months, but his
earlier life is unknown.

I worked on the hot-cold exercise for about 30
minutes when he suddenly "got it". After that
he came to me every time with no hesitation.

I used the cans filled with pennies to teach him
not to bark. If he now starts to bark, I go to the
door or window, say "Good Boy, its' alright" and
he usually calms down right away.

A couple of times I had to get the cans
out again to reinforce the behavior.

We feel a strong bond with this animal
and he is very eager to accept our love.

So with all the vitriolic spewing going on,
I have to believe Mr. Howe is right.

His method worked for us.

I don't know if it would have been quite
as effective if we had tried another method first.

Here is a video from Fred which I have a few concerns
about (and maybe Fred can weigh in if he sees fit), THE
SAME "FRED" that johnny would invite to heelp his
shelter dogs learn RESPECT.

This is a video about Nero being taught to get on
a skateboard.

ayvideos.asp?crypt=A7E284B9ABD FCE0F

or http://tinyurl.com/389al

In this video, the dog is constantly jerking his
head all around. I'm not SHORE why he's doing that.
If he's doing it because he is being shocked repeatedly
into getting onto that skateboard, then it is my
opinion that Fred Hassen is a dog abuser in the
extreme. As would anyone be, no matter how much
"experience" they had shocking dogs, nor how
nationally "respected" they are/were.

If, HOWEver, the dog is jerking his head all around
because he is happy and for no other reason, well,
then, never mind. I've just never seen this kind of
behavior from a dog before, so maybe Fred can
explain what would cause a dog to move his head
like that.

Subject: Re: Help from any vet or anyone who's been through this.

Philip,

I don't have a problem with giving him Deramaxx.
He's been on it for two years the only reason we
took him off it was due to the cancer. NOTHING
is going to cure the cancer this is the 3rd round
the mast cell cancer he has had and this is completely
inoperable and I will not put him through chemo or radiation.

I am more interested in his quality of life for the
remainder of his life.  He has for years taken glucosamine
& condroiten supplements with the approval of his orthpedic
vet.  Barney has had ACL surgery on both is knees and has
extensive arthritis no supplement will ever give him total
complete pain relief and I sure am not willing to use something
for a month waiting for it to work.

Destructive chewing is an anXXXIHOWESNESS relief mechanism

Yeah. That's usually what CAUSES CAR SICKNESS and FEAR OF THUNDER.
When YOU can't CON-TROLL the ENVIRONMENT like not bein able to
stop the thunder or the vibrations of the car the dog LOSES CON-fidence
in HIS HANDLER.

Offering and withholding treats INCREASES anXXXIHOWENSESS and REINFORCES
"BAD BEHAVIORS" an TEACHES dogs TO DO some behaviors TO GET the TREAT
when HE DON'T GET THEM.

THAT'LL make them DEPENDENT on GETTIN A COOKIE every time they want:

"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

Yves,

I for one have tried it... in fact I use this all the time.  I
just used it last evening while my husband and I went
out to see "The Mummy Returns" (a horrible turkey of
a movie, but at least the house wasn't chewed from
end to end in the meantime).

Yes, it really works.  :-)  So do the other distraction/praise
techniques described therein.

If you are interested in the manual, you will probably want to
begin the exercises as well.

There's NO REASON TO. Locking dogs in boxes MAKES them
HYPERACTIVE SHY AGGRESSIVE and can CAUSE SELF MUTILATION
CAR SICKNESS and FEAR OF THUNDER. Lockin Summer in a box
caused her to FEAR CHILDREN despite bein RAISED with WON.

> > Thank you for your post Janet.

janet's dog Franklin ATE her filthy undies and got intestinal
surgery over it and THEN nearly KILLED HISSELF ESCAPIN his
crate.

Franklin is DESTRUCTO and SWALLOW ANY THING HE CAN REACH.
Pretty much like her newest RESCUE puppy that she CAN'T
PLACE on accHOWENT of he's HYPERACTIVE and gotta be LOCKED
IN A BOX. Rudy has been TURNED DHOWEN by 4 families who
COULDN'T GIVE HIM THE ATTENTION HE NEEDS.

 BWEEEEEEHAHAHAHHAHAHAAA!!!

Rudy stared "e-collar" training a couple weeks ago to
hone his SKILLS at NOT GOIN INSANE and HOWETA CON-TROLL.

Like Franklin.

And like her Kat who's been DECLAWED, despite janet
ACKNOWLEDGING that declawing is CRUEL and CAUSES FEAR
AGGRESSION. Her kat ATTACKS her and PISSES on her
furniture and dogs bed when she PUNISHES the dogs.

janet's kat has been IN TREATMENT at the neurolgist
for his "SEIZURE LIKE" behavior.

janet COOKED her elderly dog when she couldn't get IT
to come in and had to stay HOWET while janet went to
work on a 105 degree day.

That ain't bad enough, her other WELL TRAINED dog
GOT RUN DHOWEN in front of her HOWES and janet had
to pay the speeding motorist for HER DOG bein IN
FRONT of him.

Well, enough talk of janet. Let's talk abHOWET YOUR DOGS:

her till she ATTACKED her ONLY FRIEND as she stood

Subject: Re: Collateral damage/bark collar

Since you are home why not get an ecollar that you
completely control.  I bought one of these and used
it to train Lady for the quiet command.

She would go outside and flip out barking at absolutely
nothing and there was no shutting her up.  The one I
bought has a tone button and a stimulation button with
10 levels from 1 to 10.


Some people absolutely hate these things and in my situation
it was either get her under control or send her back to the
farm.  It was the best 90.00 I have ever spent.

It took less than 3 days to get through to her that
quiet meant to stop barking.  I give her the command
QUIET and would tone her and she'd hesitate a second
then back into it. I would then repeat QUIET and tone
her again I repeated this 3 times before I started
using the stimulation.   It took a level 4 to get her
to stop and in less than 3 days she was over it.

 She now knows what QUIET means and I also used it in
training her to stop chasing rabbits.  She still chases
them out of the yard but knows that she doesn't run
around the end of the fencing at the bottom of the
drive way after them.

And yet, I can tell you from first hand experience that
this claim is justified (except the part about "sitting
****d", for which we have to take The Amazing Puppy Wizard's
word) in the case of two dogs who are living half the world
away from him - MY two dogs.

For instance, he told me exactly what to do when Bonnie was
barking with excitement as someone she loved was arriving,
and his advice worked... like magic!

Also, his advice about how to deal with her fear of thunder
was the ONLY thing that could calm her down.

Yes, one of my students Paul B wrote an excellent post

HOWE the distraction and praise process works from his
POV as an experience handler using my methods.

Why? That should be spontaneous and in association
with every glance towards you and every thought.

Oh. Patting is O.K., only not in conjunction with a
thought or command, as it will interrupt the thought
process and may lock the dog's thoughts on an
inappropriate idea.

 > Can you give me the rationale behind that?

It's called positive thigmotaxis, the opposition reflex.
Like if we're walking our dog and want to prevent him
from interacting with another dog, and we pull back
on the collar, that often triggers the dog to go out of
control.

As long as there's contact on the collar, the dog will
continue his original thoughts about interacting with
the passerby. Then because the dog is out of control,
the handler needs to further force restraint, making
communication with the dog's MIND, impossible.

 > It will help me modify my own behavior.

Any time your dog is close enough to be patted is
fine to pat him, as long as we're not working with a
command or thought we want him to process.

 > Anyway, your approach is amazing.

Yes, it's caused quite a stir here. If my methods are as
effective and fast and safe as I claim and my students
confirm, that pretty much means that all of my critics
are DEAD WRONG, and all's that's left  for me to
do is shovel some dirt over them over and let 'em push

That's absurd, spot. Only dog abusers hurt innocent

always fails because when you use positive reinforcement
REINFORCEMENT NEVER ENDS because there's NO TRAINING,
only POSITIVE RE-INFORCEMENT. The OPERATOR MUST BE IN

dictates.

The reason she "spooked" at the neighbor was
because you'd punished or rewarded her noise
barking behavior. Behaviors that are ignored
repressed or rewarded only get worse or change
to other seemingly non related behaviors as
anxiety relief mechanisms or trainsfer behaivors.

>  After that as soon as you'd take her out the door she'd start into

That's probably because you gave her the business

and you didn't want them to think you wasn't a
responsible dog owner not puni****ng a fear aggressive
dog into being trusting calm and confident.

Any behavior that's repeatable predictable or consistent
is EZ to change cue or extinguish NEARLY INSTANTLY using
ONLY PRAISE and brief variably alternating non physical
distraction INSTANTLY followed by prolonged intermittent
non physical praise and praise in advance.

"...all the highest nervous activity, as it manifests
itself in the conditional reflex, consists of a continual
change of these three fundamental processes -- excitation,
inhibition and disinhibition."  Ivan P. Pavlov

Repeat four times in four different venues and the
HABIT is SCIENTIFICALLY CONDITIONED or EXTINGUISHED
as you prefer NEARLY INSTANTLY.

"The IMBECILITY of some of the claims for operant
technique simply take the breath away. Lovas et al

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 behavoir and learning
immediately deteriorated."

"Valette 1966 is a complete trivialization of
scientific findings. It overstates the case for
reinforcement theory. No careful researcher
would contend that operant techniques CAN ANY
THING MORE than modify SHORT TERM BEHAVIOR in
a highly controlled and limited environment
with a large number of skillful experimenters.

Certainly the most elaborate studies have shown
that the withdrawal or temprary inefficiency of
the reward system is immediately followed by
CESSATION of the programmed behavior.

Dan, my own firm hatred of punishment has
recently been intensified by meeting The
Puppy Wizard, Jerry Howe, whose work with
dogs is marvelous.

There is a literature on harms caused by time
out, and perhaps you'd like to look at

"As Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student) demonstrated for
nearly 50 years at Ohio University (Oxford, O.) there
is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving
care."

Subject: Doggy advice

Scott, Jerry Howe forwarded me the letter below.
I'm glad that you referred negatively to Jerry's
habit of CAPITALIZING and HOWEING everything.

I personally hate this habit of his. I think it is his
way of diluting his authority - IME he is a very modest
fellow. However, contrary to your sneer, he is very
competent at living with dogs.

I thought I'd list a series of actions which I found
on the list, folk asking advice on what to do about
dogs doing this and that, for example:

whining,
humping, hunching,
pacing,
self mutilation - paw licking, side sucking,
spinning,
prolonged barking, barking at shadows,
overstimulated barking,
fighting, bullying other dogs,
compulsive digging,
compulsive scratching,
compulsive chewing,
frantic behavior,
chasing light, chasing shadow,
stealing food,
digging in garbage can,
loosing house (toilet) training.
inappropriate fearfulness
aggression.

The thing that is fascinating to me, as an ethologist who
graduated from college 50 years ago and has spent all of
the intervening time working with animals (including the
human animal), is that you never see any of these behaviors
in wild dingoes, jackals, coyotes or wolves, you don't even
see these behaviors in hyenas (who aren't dog related).

You see these behaviors in human managed animals,
especially animals who live with neurotic hysterical humans.

As Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student) demonstrated for
nearly 50 years at Ohio University (Oxford, O.) there
is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving
care.

How does diagnosis shape treatment?

Nearly every week I have a visit from Jerry Howe, who
publicizes himself as The Puppy Wizard. Jerry is a
master at behavioral modification of dogs.

His fundamental bedrock is the work Pavlov's last student,
the late Sam Corson, Ph.D., did at the U of Ohio (at Oxford,O).

Sam always pointed out if the dog stopped working for
you in the lab, Pavlov and he always took the dog away
from the lab, and put him in a loving home and gave him
TLC for a couple of months, and then started, very carefully,
over again.

Jerry believes that reward and constraint focused training
is immoral. I've watched him in one short session calm
impossible dogs, just about to be murdered (oops "put to
sleep") because of their "incorrigibly" violent behavior.

Sam was one of the first people to apply amphetamine to
hyperactivity (he searched the Middle West for hyperactive
dogs); but he never lost sight of the fundamental reality that
a dog is not a human, but does respond, doggily, to dog love.

You might be surprised to go to B. F. Skinner's "***ulative
Record" and read the essay by Breland and Breland, "The
Misbehavior of Organisms".

Animals cannot be successfully trained unless the
trainer attends to the evolutionary history, the individual's
developmental history, and the environmental niche of
the animal being trained.

Yep, right there in Skinner's last and summary book.
Even with behavior mod, you must know the animal.

<snip>

        Dogs or little boys, you have to know the individual
        history, and the nature of he disorder.

        Dr. Von

        PS if you are interested in dogs, then take
        a look at Jerry's work.

> Finally as a last resort

You mean when you ran out of ideas information
and methods and you HURT your dog because choking
bribing and ignoring him DIDN'T WORK because
POSITIVE MEANS "DO SOMETHING TO FORCE THE DOG"
so your SHOCK COLLAR is still POSITIVE RE-
INFORCEMENT, celeste, you dog abuser.

> I bought a remote e-collar one that I manually control by hand.

To give him confidence like praising him does.
And you think the dog don't know it's you pu****n
the big red button marked BURN.

>   It was the best 95.00 I have ever spent in my life.

Because you're a SADIST, celeste.

>  It took less than two days of verbal commands and few low dose zaps

Takes my students TEN MINUTES maybe less and they
don't yell bribe restrain choke hurt intimidate or
otherWIZE have POSITIVE RE-INFORCEMENT because we
PRAISE IN ADVANCE and continuously intermittently
throughout and the dog AIN'T AFRAID OF NUTHING
because WE SEZ it's O.K. and PRAISE THEM and know
what celeste?

THEY BELIEVE US! NEARLY INSTANTLY. ALWAYS.

Because THAT is the NATURE of the BEAST, just
as HURTING and INTIMDIATING and BRIBING and
MURDERING dogs is the NATURE OF THE BEAST in
you and your pals, celeste.

No wonder you FEAR and HATE The Amazing Puppy Wizard <{); ~ ) >

I can't say's I'd blame you.

> to get her to understand what Quiet means.

You only REPRESSED her FEAR of strange noises
with GREATER FEAR of you hurting her somemore.

THAT'S CRIMINALLY INSANE.

And I can PROVE IT, to boot.

>  She still will bark

Because she's AFRAID. Your dog is not supposed
to be barking at EVERY NOISE she hears no matter
what. She IS supposed to bark when she hears
something SUSPICIOUS but not EVERY THING as your
dog does. Your dog is AFRAID because YOU HURT HER.

> and she is allowed to bark

Because you CAN'T STOP HER because POSITIVE
REINFORCEMENT REQUIRES you OPERATE the behavior
in response to her stimuli. IOW, THE DOG TRAINED
YOU to push buttons and give cookies...

> but after a couple yaps when I tell her quiet she listens.

Or you'll HURT her somemore.

> The collar also came in handy when she started
> chasing rabbits now it's no longer an issue.

You had to HURT her to break her of chasing rabits?

You might try chasin a squirrel up a tree:

OR YOU MIGHT TRY doin the MONKEY MACARENA.

For your own safety you gotta learn to do the
MONKEY MACARENA. The Amazing Puppy Wizard will
share leah's Monkey Macarena with the group and
give her ALL the credit for it.

It's EZ!  It AIN'T hard to do.

 It goes LIKE THIS... here's HOWE:

SEE?

O.K., NHOWE YOU TRY?

You won't have to scream at the shadows...

You mean HURT the dog, robin. You HURT your dog. We can
SEE IT when she's doin those agility trials you can't

your dog stops to ARGUE with you. And you stand there
like a big dumb marlmaluke arguin back INSTEAD OF PRAISING
and continuing with the EXXXORCISE <{) ; ~ ) >

Your dog FLINCHES on the stop line on the ramp, on
accHOWENT of you've choked or shocked her to get her
to stop on the mark <{) : ~ (  >

Dog trainin AIN'T LUCK, robin. Your dogs TELLS The
Amazing Puppy Wizard EVERY THING YOU DO TO THEM:

"It is by muteness that a dog becomes so utterly
beyond value."

We DON'T GET the dog to "PAY ATTENTION" on accHOWENT OF
THAT DISAVAILS the dog of LEARNING SELF CON-TROLL, robin.

THAT's HOWE COME YOU CAN'T TRAIN YOUR OWN DOGS.

YOu mean those BREEDS you can't train on accHOWENT

LOVES "HARD WIRED PRAY DRIVEN DOGS" on accHOWENT

You mean like that Grey HOWEND who pulled DHOWEN
his elderly owner to chase a critter and STOPPED
when he realize he knocked her DHOWEN and RETURNED?

Seems you CAN'T ALWAYS use ALWAYS when talkin
abHOWET dog behavior UNLESS YOU'RE The Amazing
