On the basis of the unconditioned "reflex of purpose,"
conditioned reflexes were developed in which positive
emotions arising in connection with the perfection of a
skill, irrespective of its pragmatic significance at a given

The unconditioned "reflex of freedom" is regarded as a

Kelley: I don't have the same history that you seem to have with Leah,
but I hardly think being open to exploring new ideas qualifies as being
"wishy-washy".  To me it shows intelligence.  But then, from what I've
seen, you've demonstrated a singular kind of black-and-white mentality
and a highly ignorant closed-mindedness.

Morrison:

Kelley: Actually, that's *exactly* how it worked with me.  Within the
first day of using these techniques I went from becoming a run-of-the-
mill dog trainer to being pretty damn good, if I do say so myself, and
all simply by testing the techniques, just to see if they worked.

I've said from the beginning that if I can get the kind of amazing
results I do when I'm not really a dog trainer at heart, but a writer,
then someone who's really a dog trainer at heart would become a
far better trainer than I am instantly, just by using these methods.

Somewhere along the line, however, I discovered a dirty little secret
about the mentality of most dog trainers: they only *became* trainers
because they liked the feeling of power and control it gave them.  If
that's the case with you, then you definitely wouldn't like natural dog
training because it ultimately teaches a dog how to control his own
behavior.

In fact in some ways, it forces you to turn your need for control over
 to the dog because the method only works when you put your trust
 in a dog's natural instincts instead of fighting against them  all the
time.

That's because when you put yourself in alignment with a dog's instincts,
the dog will naturally obey you under any and all cir***stances because
group harmony and cooperation, when properly nurtured, are the most
fundamental aspects of a dog's nature.

I came across the following quote recently, and though I have no idea
who Edward Hoagland is, I think what he says here speaks volumes:
"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be
semi-human.

The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of
 becoming partly a dog." - Edward Hoagland

Leah:
>> This "praise the dog when he misbehaves" thing keeps
>> coming up, and nobody has been able to explain it to me.

Morrison:
>That's because no one can.

Actually, Jerry Howe explains it pretty well.  And as for the incident I
related where I praised my dog when he found a juicy chicken breast
and my praise caused him to drop it, and subsequently got him to stop
scavenging altogether, merely by praising him everytime he found
something, the answer is pretty clear.

He didn't pick up that chicken breast because he was hungry, he did
it because he was looking for something to do that would satisfy an
inner emotional need, relating to his instincts.  When I praised him,
 suddenly and very enthusiastically, he dropped the chicken breast
 because the praise provided him with more emotional satisfaction
than the chicken breast did at that particular moment.

You could look at this as being an example of pure operant
conditioning, if you like (though you'd be wrong), but it would
 still mean that you would have to give up your beliefs about
 what praise is and how and why it works, and you don't
strike me as someone who's capable of even *questioning*
your beliefs, let alone capable of giving them up.

Morrison:
> every single method out there is based on CC and/or OC.
> That's a fact.

Kelley: No, it's not a fact.  The only reason it seems factual to you is
 because the basic premise of behavioral science is tautological in nature
(and also because, IMO, you have a tiny mind).  In my estimation it's
 more likely that there are little green men on Mars than that what you
think is operant conditioning is what's really taking place when a dog
learns *anything*.

Dogs do not learn things by association or by repetition or by trial
and error, but through their emotions, pure and simple.  Even
Pavlov said: "Positive emotions arising in connection with the
perfection of a skill, irrespective of its pragmatic significance at
a given moment, serve as the reinforcement."

Of course, even Pavlov got it wrong on the most basic level, since
there really is no such thing as a reinforcement, but that's another
story for another day.

Yo****: Bark, bark,


us: HUSH You****


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

 Well I just printed out the Amazing Puppy

Today a salesman knocked on the door, and Pokey
was going balisstic. I calmly go to the window
to see who it is, and off-handly say Good Boy,
It's a stranger, Good Boy.


 Pokey shut right up, gave me a quizical look,

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.

Subject: one day


I started some of the simple techniques in
Jerrys manual today.


The family pack exercise.... come command.....
that's all so far though.


I did get the proper equipment as well.
20 foot leash, cans with pennies partially
crushed, flat collar, etc.


I have also stopped any negative reinforcment
such as loud "No" and "Bad girl Sonique!"
(Sonique is my Jack russell) and holding her
back, which I normally MUST do or she'll jump
and nip sometimes, but always jumping and barking.


Already tonight some has started working.
When someone came to the door, Sonique
went nuts as usual.


I said "Thank you Sonique!"
"It's o.k. girl, thank you!"


And we got a total of about 6 barks and then
no jumping on guests, no biting, growling
or the worst, the continued barking she
normally does.


She accepted my praise, and trooted around,
still excited over guests, but she was WAY
more under control.


Even my roomates noticed this.


She repeated this same thing
without all her normal fuss later
when another two friends came over.


So I do need more time, going to keep with it
another day, another month whatever until I
know I am getting results, although I must say,
so far I am impressed with my dog.


She really responds to praise better than
she ever has responded to treats as distraction
from the guests and doorbell, or me yelling
"bad girl! go away now! shoosh up!" all the time.


I am also verbally praising her everytime
she makes eye contact with me. so hopefully
things will continue going well!-

I have read all the posts about how bad Jerry HOWE is.


But I make decisions for myself.  I am always, as a
kennel owner, looking to improve and pick up new ideas
to further helping our customers with their anxiety
laden pets.  Due to the equine training we do, Jerry's
methods caught my eye.  NO PRESSURE.


I am sorry to say, that I needed some help re-thinking
how Jerry perceives training.  No choke chain? HUH?
Never did like gimmicks for the horses, don't use them.
But not even a choke chain for the puller dog who wants
to bite and take our calves in his mouth, swipe off a heal
now and then, huh?

Jerry, despite his frustration at getting across his
point is entirely different in person.  He is so patient,
and cares about what he does, he is obsessive, yes.


I LOVE IT! SO AM I.

 I was able to difuse both of them with no pain, no harsh

.....(thanks Jerry).


We are now training the owners to learn how to respond, so
the compulsive behaviors do not start again.  I have an old
horse book called "There are no problem horses, only problem
owners".  Yup, yup.


I was not perfect myself, and having shown years ago, picked
up some bad habits also.  Not afraid to admit it!  Soon, I hope
 to have "The Wits End" manual down pat.

Why pick on a resource that works?

Sorry to upset you alll, but as they say, anyone can call
themselves a trainer.  It's how you train that interests me.


Of course not having to deal with a new mental disorder

        You hit the nail right on the head.


        This kind of abuse is accepted by the humane
        societies, kennel clubs, and even the universities
        that teach behavior.


       Those are the ones that should be held responsible.


        I am a dog trainer, and when I tell people of my
        concerns with these issues, they won't believe me.


        I watch the same trainers doing the same things,
        ruining dogs, getting paid, and then saying the
        dog is 90% good, but 10% untrustworthy and
        should be destroyed.


        People have problems with their dog and abuse is
        recommended by all of the trainers and books on the
        subject. People talk with other trainers about their
        dogs, then I tell them that the advice they've been
        given is different than what I offer. By the time they
        talk to me, they've already been sold a bill of goods.


        When more information for less money and faster
        results are offered, people think that I'm up to
        something, because I have nothing in common with
        everyone else out there.


        When a pet professional tell you that dogs don't feel
        pain the same way, that corrections are necessary,
        choke collars aren't supposed to choke, that you
        need to dominate, force, jerk, drag, slap, step on,
        pin down, withhold food, shock, or in any manner
        abuse, or do any thing that you would not like to
        see happen to a young child, go elsewhere.

"Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative reinforcement"
 (1958) NEARLY EVER LEARNING THEORY model involves
the USE OF PUNISHMENT. Of curse, Skinner has never to my
knowledge, demonstrated HOWE we escape the phenomenon
 that an expected reward not received is experienced as a punishment
and can produce extensive and persistent aggression (Azrin et al, 1966)."

"Reflexes of purpose and freedom" in the comparative
physiology of higher nervous activity, Institute of
Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology, Academy

The most complex unconditioned "reflexes of aim and
freedom," discovered by I.P. Pavlov, are compared
with the "competence drive" and the "motivation of the
resistance to coercion," respectively, described by
contem****ary ethologists.

On the basis of the unconditioned "reflex of purpose,"
conditioned reflexes were developed in which positive
emotions arising in connection with the perfection of
a skill, irrespective of its pragmatic significance at
a given moment, serve as the reinforcement.

The unconditioned "reflex of freedom" is regarded as a
phylogenetic precursor of the will, and its acute extinction
as the physiological mechanism of hypnosis. It was
demonstrated experimentally that the appearance of the
state of "animal hypnosis" (immobilization catatonia) in
rabbits is accompanied by the predominance of electrical
activity and heat production in the right hemisphere, i.e.,
by symptoms which are found in hypnosis in man.

Quite severe cases of anorexia nervosa have been

Subject: Dear Marilyn Re. Ness

Dear Marilyn,

I just visited your updated site. The two Ness pages are great.
Freezing the video frames to reveal the emotional impact a
leash correction has on a dog was a wonderful idea.

Lee Kelley did something similar to a Brian Kilcommon video.

The difference is we were focusing on the emotional impact a
leash correction has on the trainer. When you do this to a training
 video you can clearly see the tremendous emotional charge some
of these trainers are getting from hurting dogs.

It's a strange business, this dog training. I wonder what motivates
any of us to engage in it. I'm suspicious of anyone who says they
do it because they love dogs. I know a lot of people who claim to
 love what dogs represent to them, and yet they don't become trainers.

 I don't think this is because they love something else more.

I think there is a difference between loving what dogs represent
 to us and loving what training them creates in us or even creates
 in them for that matter.

It's a complicated process and perhaps many of us have lost sight
of what we're doing. I read books and articles that matter of factly
explain how to systematically inflict pain on dogs in an effort to
create a desire to perform tasks that I often see dogs performing of
their own accord. I know many of these behaviors can be shaped
and encouraged to the same degree of reliability without all the
violence and pain.

Where they can't (if that's the case), I wonder why we think
a dog should perform a task that is so repugnant to its nature,
that we must resort to violence and coercion to compel them
to participate.

Maybe I have far too much respect for dogs, but when I read
this stuff it sounds like slavery and involuntary servitude to me.

I can't see much difference between what we're doing to them
(for their own good) and what my country men did to the African
peoples for nearly half a century.

It's hard for me to accept that I'm surrounded by so much
 madness, but I have to go with my heart on this one. Most
of what we demand from dogs--if not all of it--will be offered
 willingly and enthusiastically if we only learn how to request
 it in a manner they can comprehend.

If it turns out that I have to attack a dog to get it to do or to not
do something, then maybe the dog isn't supposed to do what I
 think it should.

The whole thing's so complicated that I can't really express it. I
just know I don't like some of the stuff I'm seeing or reading about.

Subject: Re: In defense of Jerry Howe's methods

Oh, and talking about crates, the first night I had
 her, I closed the door of the crate, as this is what
 almost everybody was recommending. She was hell of
 earth, and at 5 in the morning, I had to put her in
 the bathtub as she crapped on herself during the night.
 The following night, I let the door open, putting a
 towel near my bed for her to sleep. Her crate is in
 the kitchen. I said what the hell, let's try it.
 Totally different behaviour. I was pretty happy about
 it that's for sure :)


 Mine has the full run of the house when I'm at work already.
 Why? Because she did go totally insane when I left her in her
 crate, crapping on herself in the process. It was not fun. I
 followed Jerry's advice and did the "Separation Anxiety" method
 in the manual, and my house has not been destroyed. Dog happier,
 house not destroyed? That's all I needed to know.


 Thanks again for the advice,

It helped clear problems from my dogs in the
field using the can penny distraction technique.


Works like a charm.


My dogs get distracted easy from their jobs ie,
retrieving or training to find lost people, oh did
I mention that I am a Search and Rescue Team
Leader.


Sorry that slipped my mind.


I have read volumes of training books and don't
know where people get that Jerry copied others
work as I have NEVER come across his methods
before. I would like to see proof.


Just like Jerry outlined I eliminated problems one
at at time as they arose. I used to try and train to
the way I wanted them but this is backward, you
train out the problems leaving what you want left over.


Funny part is the second dog who had the same
problems as the other didn't need correcting for
some of his habits after I cleared it from the first
dog.


Seemed he learned through osmosis.


Nice side benefit there.


It nearly came to giving them up to a 3rd party
trainer as they were not performing well. The
VAST majority of working dog trainers are
agressive in their actions with the dogs.


I tried it and it didn't work and guess what I
was at my "Whits End" then someone I new
turned me onto Jerry and the rest is history.


I referred friends and families to Jerry's manual
and all have had great results. Starting puppies
out on the distraction technique is especially
good because they never develop the habit.


I had my sisters dog healing, sitting and down
stay reliably at 8-9 weeks. The first night home
following Jerrys advice we ditched the crate and
put the pup on the floor beside the bed and after
2 whimpers NOT A SOUND OUT OF THAT DOG
FOR 6 HRS! first night, that has never happened
in all my days.


Sorry, the man understands dogs its that simple.

I have no stake or interest in the success of  his business.
I simply want to thank him publicly for one of his tips, with
regards to separation anxiety.

I thought it seemed far fetched to praise a stuffed animal
and then say good bye to my own dog, but I am usually a

Hello Jerry,

A client of mine asked to say a 'big thank you' to you.
They have a 8 month spaniel that they were about to get
rid of.

In fact they had put her into kennels for a few day while
they 'thought it through'.  They rang me the day before
they were due to collect her.

She had wrecked their home - everytime they left her she
destroyed something else.  The walls, the cabinets, the
carpets, table legs, chair legs, - anything and everything.

They collected her and brought her to me.  I gave them some
routine training exercises, and also I wrote out your advice
(I will say at this point that I was not sure about it at all,
and felt a little embarrassed - it was the advice about the
'toy dog that gets the praise for not making a mess'.

Anyway, this was 11 days ago and I heard nothing.  Yesterday
they turned up at the new Monday evening class.  They were
absolutely delighted.

They told me that after just one attempt, (your toy suggestion)
she 'stopped all the destruction'.  They were in tear of happiness
while telling me.

Thank you Jerry.
Respectfully,
Marilyn

Hi Steve,

Just want to second Jerry's method for dealing with this -
I've suggested it to quite a few clients now and it's worked
'every' time.

It sounds a little 'amusing' I agree, but it really works.

Two of the occasions it's worked have been when the
owners were almost at the point of giving up (one had
actually put their dog into kennels for a few days so
that they could re-decorate the demolition done by the dog).

They rang me while the dog was still in kennels and were
not yet decided whether to collect the dog or not.

The very first time they tried Jerry's method, it worked.

Best of luck,

We came home to almost $1,000 in damage.
Furniture, the blinds were all chewed and torn
down, etc. The next day we put her in the crate
again. This time we came home to a nice 2' x 3'
hole in our carpet in the middle of the living room,
right down to the cement.

I told my wife that we cannot afford to keep this dog.
We should go out and get a puppy.

<SNIP>

 First, at no cost he sent us his manual. We started
 doing exactly what he said to do in the manual.

 Exactly as we did was was written, the results were
 exactly as he said it would be. Then we purchased
 the DDR.

 This is an amazing god send to us.

 First of all, Jerry sent it to us without paying. (thanks
 for that gesture) This has such and AMAZING effect.
 This testimonial is kind of  winded so I will say this......

 Jerry's product literally saved this dogs life.

 Angel can be left alone during the day. NO CRATE. The
 dog shows absolutely no sign of anxiety at all. Jerry
 told us the product works immediately and it did! She
 does not bark at all during the day except when the
 mailman drops mail into the slot on the door.

 The manual for training works exactly as it says!

<SNIP>

Jerry, after reading some of the threads in the news
group, I can't for the life of me understand why this
many people are so dang blind or ignorant.

You just keep plugging away at what you do, because
you my friend are a life saver!!!

Anytime you need someone to speak about the results
of your product, you have my number. We would galdly
talk to them.

Thank you very much for all your help.

God bless you...

 has been a couple of months since we have initiated Jerry Howe's
 recommendations for resolving the separation anxiety in our 8 y.o.
chocolate lab.

We have seen remarkable results.

 She can now be left on our houseboat and we can return with
 all of the wood trim and/or blinds intact. Before we spoke with
 Jerry and started the training, we could not leave her without
 her barking in a high pitch incessantly.

 I had resorted to "building her a pen" with pieces of chair
 railing, putting chairs in front of windows, and moving the
 bed so that she could not get to the blind (again!). It would
 take about 10-15 minutes of planning and moving things before
 we could leave.

 Even with that, she would find something to destroy. We NOW
 use the surrogate toy method and can go out, shop, go to dinner
 or whatever, without any problems.

 She is glad to see us when we return, but no longer frantic.

 I am so happy that this seems to be the norm now.

 Another problem that we had with her was although she would
 not destroy the house, she would leave us runny poop in several
 places.(kind of the same as destroy I guess). I tried to blame this
 on her diet, but realized that her anxiety level was so high that
 she just had no control. Now, the only time that she has done
 that is when she devoured a diaper from the trash!!!

 Jerry's methods work. I found him by typing in separation
 anxiety+orlando florida into Google, otherwise I don't want
 to  speculate what could have happened with Amelia.

 We were at our Wit's End!!!!!! Thanks so much Jerry.
 We have given your URL to everyone we know with a dog.

 Your methods work. The others that we tried did not.

 It is that simple!

 Thank you, Thank you Thank you!

This is not negative reinforcement.  Negative means no.

Positive reinforcement = behavior emitted by dog,
reward emitted immediately by trainer;


Negative reinforcement = behavior emitted by dog,
no response by trainer;


Aversive reinforcement = behavior emitted by dog,
aversive stimuli emitted immediately by trainer;


The term "reinforcement is used only tentatively with
"aversion" because aversive stimuli (aka punishment)
typically derange learning and are not followed by clean
learning curves equivalent to those which follow reward
or positive reinforcement;


Escape conditioning = dog has an aversive stimulus
applied without any dog related reason and when
behavior is emitted aversive stim is immediately turned off .


There is some indication that Escape Conditioning
works in a manner closely approximating reward;
but, ear pinch? --  too aversive.


I remind you that you should beat them over the head
with "The Misbehavior of Organisms" by Breland and
Breland, published in B.F. Skinner's ***ULATIVE
RECORD.  Ignored by most profs of psychology, but
the distillation of his work.


NO PUNISHMENT.


Must pay attention to who is the animal?


His evolution, his development, and his personal history -
cannot train without respect for who is the dog?  So says
the BIG TIME operant conditioning guru - and you can also
refer back to MARY COVER JONES (mother of scientific
systematic psychology), no loving, no learning.


I suppose I could wire up  a dog so that his brain was
badly interrupted and the loving method of puppy training
might not work well - but it would still work better than the
methods used by dominatrix and their ilk.


Lovingly applied ethological techniques like the one
espoused by the Wizard of ALL puppies work for all
dogs, for that matter for all mammals higher than cat.


Indeed, they will work for cats if trainer is warmly competent.


You can see this in Key West on any sunny day.
Housecats performing quite happily.

A Professor and a Veterinarian compliment Dr. Miller


Correspondence from two professionals
in field of canine studies...


Dear Dr. Miller:


Sometime ago you sent me a complimentary copy of
your book "The Secret of Canine Communication."
This book has been used extensively in the School
of Veterinary Medicine both by the faculty and the
student body. They have found this a very useful
text and have had much benefit from the op****tunity
to review the fine work which you have done.


I do appreciate your kindness in sending me this
book. I will see that it is placed in our Veterinary
Medical Library for the full use of the faculty
and the student body of the school. I am sure that
many of the students will be interested in placing
order for copies of this book as they engage in the
practice of canine medicine.


Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Miller:


The following review has been submitted to
New York City Veterinarian and should be
published in due course, at the discretion
of the Executive Editor:


**********


This is the unique training manual based upon
subliminal suggestion by means of a special
chain that is so constructed that when it is
shaken or thrown it takes advantage of certain
harmonic attributions of the dog, and training
takes place without leash restraint by means
of applying fundamental principles of conditioned
reflex psychology.


Apparent dramatic results have been obtained with
this approach to training, and it seems to render
more conventional approaches obsolete.


The reader who seeks a practical and thorough
lesson in applied canine psychology can learn
a great deal from the careful perusal of this
popularly written manual.

So there you are. I trust it may be helpful to you.

From Dr. Miller's website:


Dr. Larry Male (a.k.a. TooCool) ruminates on Dog
Behavior and Dog Training LONG PRYOR to studyin
the Wits' End Training Method:


Dr. Larry Male, Engineer, Scientist and Mathematician,
 writes to Dr. Miller about his dog Duke, the im****tance
of DOG-MASTER®, and his opinion on other dog
"training" methods.


Dear Dr. Miller,


It was such a pleasure for me to talk with
you on the phone this morning.


I never did see your television appearances
although they were well within my era. I think
that I am perhaps 15 years your junior. I wish
I had seen them though.


It was a little ad in Dog Fancy, I think, that
I initially responded to back in 1992. I remember
that the wording seemed to be a bit like a s****
oil salesman, e.g., miraculous, magic learning
sound etc. But at that time, I was investigating
different dog training techniques and I could
easily afford a stamp to find out. But when I
received your literature, I immediately grasped
that this was im****tant and scientific.


I already had my Golden when I received my DOG
MASTER kit and he was perhaps 2 years old at the
time. I had tried my best to train him, using the choke
chain dog training class once a week. Oh, I should
mention that I am currently a software engineer, but I
have a master's in zoology and a doctorate in
mathematics and biometrics.


Anyway, when I received your DOG MASTER System
book I was capable of understanding the magnitude of
your accomplishment.


I had such a great and immediate success that I dropped
out of the dog training class. For 9 more years my Duke
continued to learn more and more and more. He loved to
learn and to show off what he had learned. People were
so amazed at his behavior that they could not believe it.


He responded to complex commands, within
sentences spoken in a normal tone of voice.
To those watching, he must have seemed almost
human. His eyes were always upon me.


I remember that he would lie on the floor watching
me for hours. I could give him subtle hand signals
with my finger to make him sit up, lie down, stand,
stay etc. As he learned, I begin to make the hand
signals less and less obvious. And he learned to
respond to whisper commands. Oh, it was so much
fun and rewarding.


It has been two years now since Duke passed on
and now I have decided to get a Pembroke Welch
Corgi. I have been rereading the DOG MASTER
System book. My poor little book is falling apart
now. But as I reread I begin to realize how much
more effective I could have been if I had followed
your directions more closely.


How much better it will be for me now, to study
and to practice before I get my puppy. When you
already have your dog, you are so anxious to try
the DOG MASTER, that you don't take the time to
grasp the im****tance of each element of your system.


As I now reread your book, I think to myself,
"How was he able to develop this complex system?"
But each of your directions is sup****ted by an
analysis of dog behavior. These explanations are
so im****tant to me. A human mind requires those
explanations in order to apply the DOG MASTER
System intelligently.


I have purchased a number of top books on clicker
training (operant conditioning). This is the current
rage in dog training. But these authors freely admit
in their books that they no answers for dog behavior
problems.


They don't know how to prevent them or cure them.
They don't seem to know how to housetrain a dog.
Everyday I see dogs walking their owners (dragging
them forward and backwards through the park). The
owners plead and yell and tackle and treat and give
up in frustration.


Their only consolation is that everyone else's
dog behaves the same. I feel so sorry for everyone.


I know that there exists a training system that will
produce a dream dog, but it isn't advertised or
available. The DOG MASTER System is so vastly
superior to any other alternative that I experience
a feeling of great loss that it isn't readily available.


You know, instead of attending dog training cl*****
before or at least when they get their puppy.


Teach them about dog behavior and show them how
to use DOG MASTER; stress how im****tant it is
to use it precisely according to the directions.


Tell them that they might as well throw it in
the trash if they don't intend to use it properly.
I think that it would be so much easier to grasp
in a good video production. Then you could watch
it over and over. Hey, don't we all need that
timing, rhythm and repetition to learn?


(... and so on....)


Sincerely,


Larry M. Male

   Subject: Puppy Wizard's Wits End Training  Method


http://www.freewebs.com/thesimplyamazingpuppywizard/777witsendmanual.htm


        I have studied canine behavior and dog
        training for years. I have a huge library
        that covers every system of training.


        The Puppy Wizard's (Jerry Howe's) Wits'
        End Training Method is by far the most
        scientific, the most advanced, the kindest,
        the quickest and the most effective training
        method yet discovered.


        It is not an assortment of training tips
        and tricks; it is a logically consistent
        system. Every behavior problem and every
        obedience skill is treated in the same
        logically consistent manner.


        Please study his manual carefully. Please
        endeavor to understand the basis of his
        system and please follow his directions
        exactly. His manual is a masterpiece. It
        is dense with theory, with explanation,
        with detailed descriptions about why
        behavior problems occur and how their
        solution should be approached.


        One should not pick and choose from among
        his methods based upon what you personally
        like or dislike. His is not a bag of tricks
        but a complete and integrated system for
        not only training a dog but for raising a
        loving companion.


        When I once said to Jerry that his system
        creates for you the dog of your dreams,
        his response was that it produces for your
        dog the owner of his dreams.


        You see, Jerry has discovered that if
        you are gentle with your dog then he
        will be gentle with you, if you praise
        your dog every time he looks at you,
        then you will become the center of your
        dogs world, if you use Jerry's sound
        distraction with praise, then it takes
        just minutes-sometimes merely seconds-to
        train your dog to not misbehave (even in
        your absence) (Just 15 seconds this morning
        to train my 10 week old puppy to lie quietly
        and let me clip his nails).


        Using Jerry's scientific method (sound
        distraction / praise / alteration /
        variation) it takes just minutes to train
        you dog to respond to your commands.


        What a pleasure it was for me to see my
        6 week old puppy running as fast has his
        wobbly little legs would carry him in
        response to my recall command-and he
        comes running every time I call no matter
        where we are or what he is doing.


        At ten weeks old now, my

puppy never
        strains upon his leash thanks to Jerry's
        hot & cold exercises and his Family Pack
        Leader****p exercises.


       Jerry has discovered that if you scold
       your dog, if you scream at him, if you
       intimidate him, if you hurt him, if you
       force him then his natural response is
       to oppose you.


       Is Jerry a nut?


      It doesn't make any difference to me whether
      he is or not. It is a logical fallacy to judge
      a person's ideas based upon their personality.
      As far as dogs are concerned, Jerry wears his
      heart upon his sleeve. It touches him deeply
      when he hears of trainers forcing, intimidating,
      scolding or hurting dogs.


      More than that, he knows  that force is
      not effective and that it will certainly
      lead to behavior problems; sometime
      problems so severe that people put their
      dogs down because of those problems.


     I believe that it is natural for humans
     to want to control their dog by force.
     Jerry knows this too. We have all been
     at our wits' end, haven't we?


     Dogs have a natural tendency to mimic. In
     scientific literature it is referred to
     allelomimetic behavior. Dogs respond in
     like kind to force; they respond in like
     kind to praise.


    Don't bribe your dog with treats; give him
    what he wants most-your kind attention. Give
    him your praise.


    You will be astonished at how your dog 's
    anxiety will dissipate and how their behavior
    problems will dissipate along with their anxiety.


    Treat Jerry Howe's (The Puppy Wizard) Wits'
    End Training Method as a scientific principle
    just as you would the law of gravity and you
    will have astounding success.


    Dog behavior is just as scientific as is gravity.


    If you follow Jerry's puppy rules you will get
    a sweet little Magwai; if you don't you will
    surely get a little gremlin (anyone see The
    Gremlins?).

Subject: Dog Behavior Problems


What causes dog behavior problems? Well, first
of all, a dog doesn't know that his behavior is
a problem until you tell him so. But if you
address his behavior negatively then your dog
will tend to repeat it-that is just the nature
of dogs.


Unfortunately for us humans, our natural tendency
is to rebel with emotional outburst, intimidation
or force when our dog's behavior annoys us. But
we must bite our tongue and praise our dog instead.


You do not believe that your dog is out to get
your goat? Just begin to carefully analyze his
behavior. Take for instance the case of the
Mozart hating dog.


Whoever heard of such a thing?  How could such a
bizarre behavior begin and become established? Who
knows for sure, but it could easily happen like this. You
are relaxing listening to your favorite Mozart piece and
your dog begins to play rowdily-he is trying to attract
your attention-but his commotion annoys you.


You get upset and yell at him to shut-up.


Dogs are very sensitive to your emotions-positive
emotions calm them-negative emotions upset them.
But your negative attention has just given your
dog a lesson on how to get your attention.


How many times do think that it will take to make
this behavior automatic? Once, maybe twice is sufficient.


Does your dog act up when you are on the phone?
Why? Does he rush doors? Why? Does he jump up on
you or others? Why? Does he strain upon his leash?


Why?


What can you do to prevent such behaviors
and what can you do to cure them once they
have begun.


The classical conditioning and operant conditioning
schools of thought will advise you to condition your
dog to respond with some other, more acceptable,
behavior to the stimulus which instigates the
misbehavior.


Elaborate schemes are often devised. For instance
condition your dog to run to his crate to get a
treat when guests arrive to prevent him from
jumping upon your guests.


But this school of thought has nothing to
say about preventing such behavior problems
in the first place. And what if you don't
have any treats left? Or what if you are at
your neighbor's house with him?


And what if you wished that your dog would
just sit quietly when guests arrived instead
of each time having to bribe him to come to
his crate?


The force training school of thought will advise
you to scold, intimidate or by some means punish
your dog for what you deem to be

misbehavior.


You do not believe that this approach may cause
your dog to dislike or possibly hate you? You do
not believe that your dog will find other, perhaps
more obnoxious, behaviors in order to get even with
you?


This school of thought also has nothing to recommend
upon how to prevent these behavior problems in the
first place.


I recommend that you learn the value of praise
and kind emotions toward your dog. Throw away
your treats and your hickory sticks and raise
a dog who is calm and loving and who never gets
into any trouble.


Learn how to use sound distraction combined with
praise to quickly condition your dog to avoid
behaviors that you dislike; by quickly, I mean
in just a few minutes. Learn to teach your dog
commands in minutes using sound, praise,
alternation and variation while taking advantage
of a dog's natural allelomimetic behavior).


Please study The Puppy Wizard's Wits' End Training Method.

Dogs do not understand the concept of right
and wrong. But it is their nature to oppose
you. If you pull upon them then they will
pull back, if you push upon them then they
will push back, if they chew upon your shoe
and you scold them then they will naturally
chew your shoe again.


Shoo your dog out of your kitchen and he will
immediately come back in. Try to keep him from
charging the door by pu****ng him away with your
foot and he will charge ever so much more
deliberately and he will become an expert at
avoiding your foot.


Once your dog figures out your intention, he
will figure out a way to oppose it. Your job
is to never oppose your dog-then he will never
oppose you.


For instance, never put tension upon his lead
and he will never strain upon his lead. Praise
him even if you do not approve of his behavior.


Use sound distraction with praise to eliminate
undesirable behaviors as described in the Puppy
Wizard's Wits' End Training Method.


It takes no more than four repetitions to
extinguish an undesirable behavior. This
can take as little as a few seconds. The
undesirable behavior will be extinguished
for good and your dog will have received
nothing but praise.


Since you have given him nothing to oppose,
his natural tendency to oppose will never be
stimulated.


It is so easy. It works like magic.


When you come to understand the principles of
canine behavior, training becomes incredibly
easy. If you oppose those principles of canine
behavior, then you may well battle with your
dog for the rest of his life.

Subject: Re: Dog Behavior Problems


Sound distraction, with praise, works for any
dog, regardless of breed, age, temperament or
past experience. It is not a trick or training
tip. It is a scientific principle that applies
to canines in general. If it did not work for
you, then you did not perform it correctly.
Remember, your sound distraction must be
accompanied immediately by praise lasting
from 5 to 15 seconds. During this 5 to 15
second period your dog will be thinking.


Observe them closely to see the telltale
signs that they are thinking.


The sound distraction must not originate from
the trainer twice in a row. The sound distraction
must alternately originate from the trainer and
then originate from the dog or beyond the dog.


That is why you need something that you can
toss that will not make any sound until it
lands. You begin praising as soon as it makes
its sound.


If the misbehavior continues after four
alternating attempts, then call your dog
to you and retry the sound distraction
with praise a little while later. This
prevents any battles with your dog.


Never use your sound distraction as an aversive
(to frighten or to intimidate)-that invalidates
the scientific principle upon which this method
is based. The praise is just as im****tant as is
the sound distraction.


The scientific principle upon which the sound
distraction with praise method is based is the
same as that of Pavlov's conditioned reflex.


However, it has been proven that this sound
distraction system will condition a behavior
in dogs in less than half the number of attempts
as required by Pavlov's method.


Condition your dog to your praise by praising
them every time that they look at you.


If you desire a thinking dog,

never use treats
for training because your dog's mind will focus
upon the food rather than upon his lesson.


Please study the Puppy Wizard's Wits' End
Training Method to learn the entire theory
and application of these principles.


His system is based upon scientific principles
and it is logically consistent from start to finish.


Once you appreciate that it is in the nature
of a dog to oppose you then you will begin to
make rapid progress with your training. You
will then devise your training techniques so
as to avoid any opposition-physical or mental.


Do not let your dog detect any emotion that will
tell him that he is succeeding in opposing you.
In other words never let your dog feel that he
is opposing you, because if you do, he will
certainly frustrate you with continued opposition.


That is why it is so im****tant to always praise
your dog. If you reveal to your dog that he is
not doing what you want him to do, then he will,
by his very nature, continue to oppose you.


If, however, you devise your training methods so
that your dog never knows that he is opposing you,
then you will make rapid progress.


For example, to teach a dog not to forge ahead
of you, simply reverse direction without notice
and praise-this is a training method that reveals
no opposition from you.


Another example: if your dog strains upon his
lead, praise him when his lead is slack. When
he hits the end of his lead, pull him back an
inch and then praise the slack lead.


Since it doesn't take long for a dog's natural
thigmotactic reflex to operate, don't pull back
for more than an instant and then immediately
praise his slack lead.

Jumpin in greeting is a BONDING behavior.

No, actually puppys do a greeting dance to make their mommy
dog DIZZY and PUKE UP her stomach full of breakfast. The
puppy "greeting" behavior is a survival instinct, that's ALL.

> Your reaction was to bend down, pick him up and/or
> pet him and praise him for being so darned cute!

When in fact, all the puppy really wanted was to make you PUKE.

> The puppy has now learned it is a good thing to jump,
> because it gets attention!

No, the puppy continues to jump due to FRUSTRATION and anXXXIHOWESNESS
from 
not havin his NEEDS met by his
human mommy / daddy PUKIN for him. OtheWIZE, the puppy
would RELAXXX and greet you with a nice 'HOWEDY~!

> He doesn't understand the difference between when he did
> it as a puppy, and now when he is a 80 lb. slobbering clod!

Well, the puppy wouldn't CONtinue jumpin UNLESS you
REWARDED it by tryin to REPRESS his jumpin.

> Here are some dog training tips for jumping:

> What you need to do is ignore him when he jumps on you.

That'll FRUSTRATE the puppy and INCREASE his
anXXXIHOWESNESS and JUMPIN and may cause
 IT to become AGGRESSIVE.

> If he jumps, turn your head, cross your arms, turn away
> from him. After a time he will learn this behavior is not

That's ABSURD.

> Another reason for jumping is for him to

THAT'S INSANE.

You mean, he's got even BETTER advice than you already gave us??

Licking is a SUBMISSIVE behavior, not a sympton of affection.

> Here are some dog training tips for your licker!

Oh, well THANK YOU misslilybutt~!

THAT'S INSANE.

Puppys lick their mommy's lips to get her to PUKE.

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.

The Amazing Puppy Wizard is the cognomen of a dog behaviorist,
Jerry Howe, of Orlando, Fl.  Howe's primary teaching is that
dogs deserve unconditional love, respect, and attention and
that by providing these emotional needs dogs will regulate
their own behavior.

Howe is bombastically antagonistic to rewarders, but he
is aggressively hostile to punishers - he refers antagonists
to B.F. Skinner, Mary Cover Jones, and J.B. Watson and
especially to Samuel A. Corson when they mistakenly
annunciate behavioral principles to sup****t their use of
punishment.

Punishment always deranges behavior, says Skinner,
Jones, Watson, Corson and Jerry Howe!

Howe developed a sonic device which calms dogs and has
been broadly tested in a wide range of different situations.
The present author is a Who's Who recognized psychologist
 who was asked to evaluate Howe's device by a former student.

Howe provided the author with a device, without
charge, and said device worked as re****ted.

 cross reference to Jerry Howe, etc.

Jerry, the difficulty with these ignorant dog molesters
is that they cannot read.  Negative reinforcement is no
response by the trainer.

There is positive reinforcement, an action which is followed
by an increase in the targetted behavior (usually called
"reward" which is precisely and technically a misnomer),
negative reinforcement is the absence of any response.

Negative means 'No'.

Skinner's last book, "***ULATIVE RECORD" reviews this
thoroughly. http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/proj/nru/nr.html

Negative reinforcement is stopping an aversive reinforcement
according to this author.   Read it, they have a sense of humor!

There are four forms of systematic reinforcement:

do nothing (negative reinforcement)

reward the behavior (positive reinforcement)

punish the behavior (aversive reinforcement)
after habituating the subject to punishment,

stop puni****ng (relief of aversion, which is negative reinforcement).

Logically, failing to reward after habituating a reward
is also negative reinforcement.  Actually intermittent
rewards work better than consistent, invariable rewards,
so there is actually another two categories.  Invariable
reinforcement and random reinforcement (on varying schedules).

Punishment is AVERSIVE REINFORCEMENT.

Actions which cause the animal being trained to avoid,
avert, cringe away from. Pavlovians always responded
to American psychologist's inability to reproduce Pavlov's
results with dogs with the comment, "American's don't LOVE
their dogs".  If you ever observed a Russian psychologist
working with a dog, you'd instantly see the difference.

American psychologists were wooden, robot-like,
wanted to be "scientific".

This meant to them that they should display no
affection, or any other emotion with the subjects.

When a Pavlovian dog started to misbehave or fail to respond,
doggie was taken out of the equipment, and taken home for a
loving vacation, with much TLC.  Sam Corson, Pavlov's last
student, demonstrated the same relation****ps at Ohio State.

Interestingly the first page of results for Sam Corson,
dog behaviorist is loaded with Jerry Howe quoting Dr. Von.
heh heh heh

Dr. Von

Oh, by the way, you once had a pompous fellow say that
Dr. Von was a figment of your imagination.  I don't
normally mention this, but I have been listed in Who's
Who in the S & SE USA since 1982, and in the big books,
Who's Who in the USA, WW in the World, WW in Medicine
etc, and WW in Science and Technology, since that date.

These are the Marquis Publications, the "real" WW, and
you can't get yourself into them.

Dear Jerry,  I paged through some of the "dog business"
and was astonished at the low quality of opinions arising
from professors of behavior analysis.

I had the very great privilege of meeting Sam Corson
(Pavlov's last Ph.D. student) and his dogs at Ohio
University.  I even got to spend a night at Sam's house.

There is no question but that you are a spiritual brother
to Corson and to Pavlov, both of whom knew that the dog's
great capacity for love was the key to shaping doggie behavior.

Paradoxical reward and paradoxical fixing of attention are
both well do***ented Pavlovian techniques.  Even so humorless
a chap as B.F. Skinner taught students like the Breland's whose
"The Misbehavior of Organisms" demonstrate the utility of your
methods and their deep roots in scientific (as opposed to
commercial) psychology.

 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.
