Subject: Clicker retriever project fizzles
Date: 1999/06/19


Thanks to all who gave advice before.  I figure I owe
 you an update, but in some ways the news is not good.


Although I learned some really useful things from
the reading material that was suggested, somewhere
between the personality of the student and the manner
 in which I applied the material, we didn't get too far
with the clicker stuff.


Basically although I kept the sessions shorter (fewer
repetitions/rewards than the 50-80 recomended by my
various sources), Rosie seemed to get bored.  I went
from dry kibble to soaked kibble to pupperoni to hot
dogs in the attempt to keep her motivated.


As I said before she learned left-side walking in about
one session but I abandoned it.  Then I worked on
 targeting and on "speak."  Rosie did well at both until
 I tried to reward only when I used the cue.


I went back to giving the cue and rewarding every time.
Still, though, she'd get about two or three hot dogs then
 grab either the target stick or something else to carry
around, or go over to the picnic table with the pile of
retrieving dummies and look meaningfully at them.


My suspicion is that this outcome is more a consequence
of Rosie's nature than my application of the method.  I
have always been very good at reading and following
directions (and I had videos, too).


She, however, is bred from a long line of die-hard
 retrievers who were selected, not only for their love
 of retrieving, but for their potential to be trained
 effectively by "show-'em- and-make-'em" methods.

Jen, your request for a positive only dog training list,
needs the same answer as I give the folk who ask why I
don't have a list for what I do with biofeedback.

The method is so simple, and if you adopt it and relate
to your dog in such a positive manner you won't have any
more problems and there is no need for any more technique.


With Puppies we Ph.D. psychologists have been outflanked
by the entirely practical and effective methods described
in http://www.tinyurl.com/7bl5u.
 Free download, nothing
sold, no mailing list, no distribution of your name. Free
sup****t if needed.


With ADHD kids I provide similar information at
www.drbiofeedback.com and there is no need for
a list dealing with problems with kids.  Apply
as directed and have happy healthy doggies or
kiddies.


Not difficult.


George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D., F.R.S.H.


P.S. jerk and choke, spanking, shocking, scruff shake,
choke, chin chucks, all those negatives, denial of
affection etc. are harmful, dranging, obscenities.


You might want to consider Pavlov's typology to
understand "hard and soft dogs" - essentially he
taught that there are outward and inward responding
organisms in weak and strong nervous systems and if
you grasp this firmly you'll shape your training
methods effectively.


Punishment ALWAYS deranges behavior, and so is
recommended and given only by deranged humans.


Of course, it doesn't matter if we are talking
dogs, cats, people, sheep, even husbands.

impressed professor SCRUFF SHAKE dermer of
the ANAL-ytic behavior department Master's Degree
Program at UofWI with his DELAYED PUNISHMENT
methods to augment his clicker training FAILURES.


Clicker trainin RELIES on offering and witholding
BRIBES which INCREASES anxiety to dangerous
levels which the critter will likely to REFLEX to
when asked even years later, to do the commands
he was originally "trained" to do.


In the event of additional stress, such as when greeting
guests at the door or meetin a dog in the park or seein
a kat, may push the dog over the top and instigate an
accidental bite.



> It's full of good advice on training,

No it ain't, she's a liar and dog abuser and MENTAL
CASE, like yourself and your punk thug coward pals.

Clicker trainin ONLY works when the trainer can
CON-TROL ALL the food in the environment and
provided the critter is HUNGRY, therefore EXPERT
clicker trainers FEED THE ENTIRE DIET as part of
the clicker training program.

Hmmm, well "purely positive" is a bit of a mantra on
 the agility training lists but I don't know very many
trainers who are successful and actually do "purely
 positive."


In my observation it is mostly positive training, a
modest amount of negative punishment (withdrawing
of something the dog wants to correct unwanted
behavior) and most trainers do judiciously use positive
punishment although less frequently and in a much
 milder form than is common in other dog s****ts.


Corrections are very common even in agility.  For
example, if the dog self releases from a contact zone
 the typical response is to correct the dog by picking
it up and re-placing it on the contact zone.

The biggest disappointment I had in that clicker class
I took was that the instructor, a SAR particiapant, did
not demonstrate the strengths of the clicker for particular
SAR related tasks such as scent work.

The sad thing was is that she failed to "sell" the
technique based on its strengths and thus lost the
op****tunity to broaden the horizons of the participants.

I don't know what the problem was, except that likely
 she may be a fine trainer but an inadequate teacher.

I've found dog parks to be great places for proofing the
recall, even with young puppies.  Let the pup play with
other pups, while on a long line.


Call the pup, reeling in if necessary, and praise the heck out
of him, then let him go play again.  The reason this works so
well at the dog park is that the pup learns that leaving the
fun to obey the command doesn't mean the fun is over.  A very
good thing to learn early.

Boy, are you ever right about that, Fred!  We've had 2 in the
past 2 weeks that were a real "challenge & op****tunity".  One
was a private plane that crashed into a mtn. side and gave all
sorts of op****tunities to learn about ELT emergency signals
and stabilizing aircraft to extract a body.  The other was a
person with a psychotic disorder that was running and hiding
from the searchers.  What was interesting about that was that
his scent was everywhere because he was looping and crossing
within an area multiple times.  I learned tons about scent
pooling and aging from the Bloodhound/Coonhound cross I was
working with.


I've never seen a trailing dog give a clearer indication of a
problem on a trail or lost scent.  She would raise her head,
shake out the ac***ulated drool & scent, and try again.  If
she didn't pick up the scent, she would turn and try at right
angles to both sides, shaking out each time.  3 shake outs and
she would turn and look for further direction from the humans.

That dog is incredibly easy to read.  So easy that I could
almost "see" the way scent was moving from her actions.

There were 2 other searches in the same time period and 2 new
Bloodhound pups to start training.  My big learning from them
is that Bloodhound pups are not necessarily looking for a
place to pee when their noses are on the ground - their noses
are always on the ground!

And it isn't just in SAR work.  A trainer I work with made a
brilliant call recently on a really sharp/shy dog.  He quickly
picked up that the dog has CEA and has no peripheral vision.
I was indeed impressed.


Frankly, if I ever think I know it all or am not open to
learning something from every incident and every dog, I hope
to hell someone tells me to hang up both my uniform and my
leashes.  And I'll always be distrustful of anyone who claims
to know everything.

Not necessarily.  Remember that there is value added
to the treat by virtue of getting it from the handler as a
reward.

That's the reason I handfed Java for a week.


 To add value to the food.


It isn't just another piece of kibble when it

Funny how different dogs are so, well, different.
Java gets extremely frustrated by repeatedly
having to pick up split sheep, particularly when
I'm the reason for it.  If I cause him that kind
of work too many times he'll simply take it upon
himself to work the sheep alone.

 It's humbling.

Like most GSDs, Java has a LOT of power.  But
there's a bottle-raised wether at the barn that is
useless for herding because he ignores pressure.

He just walks towards the dog.  Java gets madder
than hell at him and recognizes him on sight :-)

- That I don't agree with the conventional wisdom of
scores of "3" across the board in the Volhard test
indicate the best SAR prospect.

- That a bringsel alert is not the best choice for a long
backed dog in very hilly terrain with large distances
between handler & victim.

- That GSDs should be given more time to mature
and brought along more slowly than Labs or BCs.

- That endurance should be tested earlier in a training program.

Since you asked.  (All of which has nothing
to do with selecting K9s.)

Yeah. HOWEver, "trainin an incompatible alternate behavior"
REWARDS the dog for DOIN the UNDESIRABLE BEHAVIOR
and the dog will quickly LEARN to DO the UNDESIRABLE
behavior to reap the REWARDS of doin the incompatible alternate
behavior.

Aside from THAT, "trainin an incompatible alternate behavior"
usually requires an EXXXTREME investment of effort and time.

Additionally, when "trainin an incompatible alternate behavior"
the use of TREATS / BRIBES increases anXXXIHOWESNESS
and often CAUSES the dog to ATTACK when the REWARD is
NOT given in the future after havin "LEARNED" the incompatible
behavior.

The ONLY correct way to think of trainin an incompatible alternate
behavior for ANXXXIHOWESNESS behavior problems is, IT'S
INCOMPATIBLE.

That so? Seems you've got LOTS of IMPERFECT solutions and
"good directions to go in", liea. We'll be reviewing YOUR OWN
SUCCESS trainin your own fear aggressive dog, Cubbe.

RIGHT. That "CRAZY DISTRACTION BUSINESS MENTIONED
IN THE THREAD" NEVER WORKS on accHOWENTA the CRAZY
DISTRACTION MUST BE variably alternating and NON PHYSICAL
and INSTANTLY follHOWED by PROLONGED NON PHYSICAL
PRAISE and preceeded by PRAISE IN ADVANCE.

Well then, liea, if a "METHOD" is "not right for all trainers and
all dogs" then that method FAILS and should NOT BE USED
for ANY dog.

That so? You don't think a doggy can sit and hump? Hey liea?
Ain't you the EXXXPERT who couldn't tell a doggy chew toy
from a *** TOY?

You mean, the METHOD WON'T WORK on accHOWENTA
the dog will VARIABLY REINFORCE the undesirable behavior
when you ain't there to jerk an choke IT into a sit??

Don't you mean 'AS I SEZ', liea?

HOWE is it gonna "MIGHT HELP" if the "self-rewarding behavior"
is REINFORCED when the ABUSER ain't there to FORCE CON-TROLL?

EXXXCEPT when the sit/stay command is trained usin BRIBES
and REWARDS or TREATS and the dog's anXXXIHOWESNESS
level INCREASES at a crucial time when you need a PERFECT
sit/stay and the dog ATTACKS a guest enterin your HOWES LIKE

Oh, you mean JUST LIKE HOWE you done, liea?:

"We got Cubbe in 1998.  I immediately took her to a dog training
class that I guessed would be similar to the one Jim took Sheppe to.
Right from the start I was unhappy.  I was following instructions to
the best of my ability, making no progress, and was pretty miserable.


I started posted here then.  He Who Shall Not Be Named started
posting at the same time, and the group was in a stranglehold
while people dealt with that.


I finished that 6 week course and tried another.  That one was at a
nearby community school.  The teacher was better, more observent,
and still teaching leash pops.  I wasn't willing to call them a bad
thing because they'd worked for Sheppe.  I hadn't realized yet that
they weren't going to work for Cubbe.


"I was starting to realize that Cubbe's troubles getting along with
other dogs was going to prevent her from learning anything in group
cl*****. "


"They also suggested I ask my veterinarian for suggestions
for in-person training. I got in-person clicker training help
and started having fun with Cubbe practically overnight.
Cubbe and I both took to it."


"I think of the way Cubbe is so awful at the vet.  It is embarrassing
to have to muzzle your dog, but from Cubbe's perspective, she's just
defending herself, and I've come to admire her for that.  All she
knows is that woman is trying to hurt her, and she's taking reasonable
measures in defense. The bad news is that the vet re****ts no
improvement in her fear during the exam and shots.--Lia"


"Cubbe is highly sensitive.  She knows she's going to be hurt and
 wiggles and squirms and might bite if she weren't muzzled. we put
her through a number of tests for parasites and had to knock her out
to look into her ears. There's also the problem with looking at Cubbe's
teeth when she's not anesthetized.  Jim and I can open her mouth with
no problem, but she's a wild woman at the vet.--Lia"


"Cubbe is a fear biter, but not, I think, an incorrigible one.  She
needs a muzzle at the vet.  I have to be super careful with her around
children.  She's snapped at children (never breaking the skin).  I
frequently have to tell kids that they can't pet my dog.  (That's why
yesterday's story about her being subjected to a patting was a happy
unusual one.)  She's always on a leash outside.  We're managing the
situation and doing our best.  She's also my dog, and I'm not about
 to put her down for her crimes.


I'm guessing that the idiot whose dog attacked the kid feels the
same way about her dog as I feel about mine.  I wouldn't say that
the situations are the same, though.  What that dog did to that child
is on a whole 'nother scale. --Lia "


"I'm extra nervous because Cubbe is so fearful about being
cornered and of quick movements.  I know Cubbe can snap
in fear. She's always had issues with cats and children that
weren't accurately represented on her intake sheet either.--Lia"


 "I guess I should just learn from it and never let Cubbe
 greet someone like that again, but I'm horribly torn up.


 I've said that I would never keep an aggressive dog. Now
 the whole issue is so complicated. Cubbe is great even with

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


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


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


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


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

Cubbe got out in the neighborhood leashless for the
first time in roughly 2 years. The first few times were
when we first got her before she'd had any training
and before we got the electric fence to reinforce the
physical one.


It was horrible. She paid us no attention, ignored
clickers and treats and calls. Make that, it was
horrible for us. She had a blast running free and
chasing whatever she wanted.


For us it was 45 minutes of sheer terror as we
tried to catch her.


Luckily there wasn't too much traffic yesterday
morning. It had snowed, and the streets weren't
quite clear yet. Jim finally caught her when she
was preoccupied with her head down a hole.


For 2 years I've been giving her a daily long walk in the
neighborhood. She now walks pretty nicely on a leash.
She gets daily indoor clicker training sessions.


She has perfect recalls in the house. She gets intermittent
treats for those recalls. She gets plenty of time to run free
 in the backyard.


Her recalls are less reliable there, but I've been
working on them. I haven't been as good about
introducing the variable reinforcement there, but
I have been good about making sure that she's
never tricked into coming into the house when
she'd rather be outside. I always call her, give
her a treat or praise and let her go again.


So I haven't been a perfect dog trainer, but I don't
think I'm a terrible one. I say that because I'm about
to ask y'all for some help in correcting my mistakes,
and while I don't mind criticism for past mistakes, I
am hoping you'll concentrate on what I should do now.


Yesterday morning Cubbe had had some nice backyard
time. I'd gotten her into the house and was preparing to
leave when she escaped straight through the front door
 and right in front of our noses.


She was still wearing the zap collar, but the
battery was low. She gave a small yip when
she went over the wire, and the chase ensued.


We were careful not to scold her once she was caught.


Today I let her out in the backyard with her usual zap
collar now with a fresh battery. She was waiting by the
backdoor to come in when I went to call her. From her
excited behavior, I could tell that she fully expected
to be let out the front door again so she could have
another fun romp in the neighborhood.


I'm so filled with anxiety from yesterday's
escapade that I keep checking for her every
time I open the door.


Later in the afternoon, she was much worse
about coming when called even from the backyard.


My specific questions:


How do I teach recalls when she so clearly knows
when she's in a confined space and when she isn't?


She normally only wears the zap collar when she's in the
backyard because the wire goes around the house and
could zap her when she's near certain windows inside.


If I let her get zapped at the front door with the zap collar,
can I still take the zap collar off and walk her out the front
door with her leash on?


I don't want her to become afraid of the front door.


What's the best emergency procedure if, god
forbid, it should happen again?


Might Cubbe be ready for harsher training techniques?
By this I mean, I've been using clicker and treats for
Cubbe because she so obviously freaked when we used
leash corrections and scoldings when we first got her.


I know this is a hard subject to bring up without
starting the whole cruelty thread again so I'll state
my opinion once and won't defend it further: any
method can be cruel for some dogs.


Even the slightest punishment was wrong for
Cubbe at the beginning, but we've come a long
way since then.


She trusts us now as I mentioned in a recent post.
Point is, she's been rewarded for coming, but she's
never been punished, even in the mildest way, for
not coming.


Is it time for that?


What might I look for to tell?


Last night we had friends over for dinner with their
3 daughters ages 14, 10 and 7. The girls loved Cubbe
and were having a blast clicker training her.


I was impressed with how quickly they caught on and
how little correction they needed to be consistent
with the clicks and treats.


Cubbe was fine with the children; she always
has been. Just as they were getting ready to
go, the 10 year old went to give Cubbe a hug.


Cubbe must have felt threatened and confined
because she gave a snarl-snap.


I was right there, and without thinking I quickly yelled,
turned Cubbe over on her back, got in the face and let
her know that no snarling is allowed. The girl wasn't
frightened at all, and her parents who were also right
there hadn't realized what had happened. I then asked
the snarlee to rub Cubbe's belly further to reinforce
that Cubbe is the submissive one in that relation****p.


I let Cubbe up and all was fine.


I suppose that's another issue, but I bring it up as part
of wondering if Cubbe should be trained with punishments now.


Like I said, I did that without thinking, and now I think it
was the right thing to do. So how do I apply this to dealing
with Cubbe the escapee?

 I need help deciding if I have a real problem with
 Cubbe that needs immediate attention or if I'm
 imagining trouble where there is none.


 Here's what happened last April the way I described
 it to a friend at the time:


 I'm worried about Cubbe.  Or rather, I'm kicking
 myself for doing something stupid.  Ellie has been
 over many times and has always gotten along great
 with Cubbe.  Cubbe is always at the door when I let
 Ellie in.


 She's barky-protective but then stops barking once


 Ellie is inside.  She's never shown any real
 aggression.  The other night Ellie and I went out
 together to run an errand.


 Ellie was coming in the house with packages so
 I came in first and put Cubbe in the bedroom with
 Jim so Ellie could get through the door more easily.


  I could hear Cubbe barking. Once Ellie was inside,
 I opened the bedroom door for Cubbe. She ran out
 to attack the intruder.


 Ellie was trying to be friendly.


 Ellie put a tooth in Ellie's finger.  Granted the resulting
  scratch was no worse than the way my cuticles bleed
 when they get dry and I don't rub lotion into  them every
  night, but Ellie was understandably scared.


 Jim ran out and got control of Cubbe right away.
  I got Ellie some alcohol and a bandage.  The scary
  thing is that, even though the damage is minor, it
 does qualify as a bite since Cubbe did mean to do it.


  I guess I should just learn from it and never let
 Cubbe greet someone like that again, but I'm
 horribly torn up.


 I've said that I would never keep an aggressive
 dog.  Now the whole issue is so complicated.


 Cubbe is great even with kids when we meet
 them in the neighborhood.


 Since then I've been careful not to do anything like that.


 Then Halloween night Cubbe spent most of the
 night in the computer room with Jim while I answered
 the door.  She did bark each time she heard the
 doorbell ring.  We did nothing to discourage that.


 We want her to be barky protective so
 it made sense for her to bark when she


 heard people in the neighborhood, especially
 at night.  Later in the evening, Jim put Cubbe
 on a leash and was hanging out with her in the
 front hall while I still got the door.  One of the first
 people to come to the door once she was out of the
 computer room was our neighbor Nicky.


 I think Nicky is 11 now.  He's known Cubbe since
 we got her 4 years ago, has always liked her, petted
 her and asked to come on walks.  Nick lifted his mask
 on the ****ch so I'd know who it was.


 Then I invited him into the hall to pet Cubbe.


 Cubbe snarled and sort of air snapped at him.
Of course Jim was right there so no damage was
 done.  Nick didn't even have to draw his hand away,
 and he didn't get scared.


 Nothing scares that boy.


 I don't like this.  Twice now Cubbe has been overly
 protective-aggressive when people have entered the
 house.


 Both times they've been people she knows and
 should like. She's wonderfully nice to people on
 walks.  We don't have guests over too often so
 I can't comment if it's a growing thing or not.


 Comments please.  Is this a major growing
aggression problem?


I'd guess it's territoriality about the house and yard.
What do I do about it?


 I usually put Cubbe on a leash when friends come over
 and then walk her outside while the friend gets out of
 her car, and then we walk in together.


 She'll still bark when they're in the house and then
 calm down.  Is that a good idea?  Should I be
 doing something more to make sure this doesn't
 escalate?

Subject: Cubbe re****t: Chief
Date: 2003-09-12 21:04:11 PST


Chief if my neighbor Jo's 40# 1 1/2 year old Sheltie.
Jim has been running into them on his morning walks
with Cubbe.  For a week he's been feeding me glowing
re****ts about how Cubbe is terrific with Chief.


Cubbe has never been particularly wonderful with any
other dog, so terrible in fact that I'd despaired at ever
seeing Cubbe frolic and play with other dogs.


I'd resigned myself to the idea that Cubbe is happy
with her people, her yard, her squirrels, her spot on
the couch, and that makes a pretty good life, one
that doesn't involve the companion****p of her own
species.  Jim's re****ts were encouraging.


Jim convinced Jo to bring Chief over for a playdate.
We put Cubbe on a leash so she could meet Chief
again on neutral territory.  They sniffed as dogs
normally do.


Chief and Cubbe entered the front door.  To my
amazement, all was fine.  Out in the backyard
and off leash, Cubbe didn't pay much attention
to Chief, but there was no trouble even though
she and Chief were close to each other.


Both dogs seemed more interested that their
people were handing out treats (for good behaviors
like SITs).


Jim went into the house for some balls thinking the 2
dogs would like to chase them together.  He did not
consult me about this hare brained scheme.


Jo and I were 5 feet away from the dogs when Cubbe
decided to attack Chief.  She's not an experienced
fighter so I don't know if attack is the right word.  She
was snarfing, making growly noises, jumping on Chief,
had her mouth on Chief's neck (on his back, behind his
ears) and basically not looking friendly, but I think if she'd
wanted to do real damage, she would have, and Chief
was fine, nary a hair out of place.


Naturally with us all right there, we were able to
intervene in seconds.


A second later, it was all over.  Cubbe looked like she'd
like to be friends again, but Chief, while not running away
or anything was obviously spooked and keeping his distance.


Jo and Chief went home.  (I went with them for chat and
apologies, but that's not part of the Cubbe story.)


Cubbe has never food or toy guarded with people.


Might she have been guarding the balls Jim brought
out?  Or was it the fact that we let our guard down for
a few seconds and she got scared of Chief when we
all weren't practically on top of her?


Or did we push her too far by leaving her and
Chief together for too many minutes when a
few seconds would have been better for a first try?


Or other theories?


Do we continue trying to find a dog that will put up with
Cubbe?  Or do we give up again and go back to letting
Cubbe live a dogless existence?

Oooops! PERHAPS you shoulda kept that old mind, eh liea?
You KNOW you've ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS knowin

"PUNISH", liea? NO WON wants to PUNISH dogs
for biting. HOWEver, so long as you're MHOWENTING
your moral high horse, perhaps The Sincerely Incredibly
 Freakin Insanely Simply Amazing Grand Puppy, Child,
*****, Birdy And Horsey Wizard will be a GENTLEMAN
 an offer you a leg up, eh, liea?

There AIN'T NO SUCH THING
 as a ACCIDENTAL bite, liea.

You're a dog abusin mental case, liea. What's your point?

Naaaah?

WHAAAT "PUNISHMENT", liea? You think bein
CONfined to a leash for ten days is PUNISHMENT?

Naaah. THAT AIN'T PUNISHMENT, liea. NOT
UNLESS you're jerkin an chokin IT on your PRONGED
SPIKED PINCH CHOKE collar.



> I've thought about it further and changed my mind.


You mean you changed your mind abHOWET
 punishment, liea?

Or do you mean you changed your mind abHOWET
 RIGHT an WRONG, liea? Sometimes it's difficult
 for the SIMPLE Puppy Wizard to follow your
philosophical thinkin when you're up on your moral
 high horse, like that talk abHOWET rape a while ago.

You mean like paul e. schone's RESCUE dog Muttley?

You mean like the two occasions IN janet's OBEDIENCE
CLASS when paulie was INSTRUCTED to JERK an
CHOKE Muttley to TEACH IT RESPECT for his G-D
like AUTHORITY, and Muttley WENT INSANE with
FEAR, liea?

And like HOWE every time your own FEAR
AGGRESSIVE dog Cubbe attacked he was
 attackin someWON inside her SHOCK ZONE
 or you was JERKIN an CHOKIN IT on your
PRONGED SPIKED PINCH CHOKE COLLAR
 JUST LIKE HOWE paulie done when his
RESCUE dog Muttley GOT SCARED an
ATTACKED.



> and there's nothing you can do about it,"


Oh, you mean when dog lovers like yourselves finally
CONvince the legislatures that Pit Bull dogs are BAD?


> then sure it makes sense to lie to protect your dog.


Oh, you mean like when it's O.K. to STEAL a neighbor's
dog on accHOWENTA you don't like HOWE they're
keepin IT, liea, as booby maida and babbette haggerty
and judith althouse recommend us to do, liea?


> But a quarantine isn't a terrible punishment.


Naaah? Hey liea? It MIGHT be a TERRIBLE
PUNISHMENT if your dog ESCAPES your
SURRHOWEND SHOCK SYSTEM and
attacks a neighbor's kid, or worse, gets into
the yard with the Rottweiller and won't come
 back to you again, eh, liea?

THEN the cops would SHOOT YOUR DOG for you
UNLESS diddler or lois edwards BEAT THEM TO
THE PUNCH, eh?

There's no need for a dog to be off leash UNLESS,
like your own dog Cubbe, they got a HISTORY of
ESCAPIN your SHOCK CON-TRAINED HOWES.


>  Cubbe got one.


Naaah? You never mentioned THAT when your
fear aggressive dog Cubbe ATTACKED your only
friend Ellie. In fact, you never mentioned she went
to the HOWEspital either, liea.


>  I don't even think she broke the kid's skin and as far as I'm
concerned,


You mean you didn't LOOK, liea? What'd you do, run
HOWET on them like HOWE "news dog's" handler done?


> it was the kid's own fault.


But of curse, liea. What'd he do, stand in Cubbe's
SHOCK ZONE like  them other two kids and your
only friend Ellie done?


> We'd said he could pet the dog


You mean your FEAR AGGRESSIVE dog Cubbe, liea?

Hey liea? You remember when you first started
OBEDIENCE TRAININ IT, and IT began to
TURN ON YOU for HURTIN her on your
 PRONGED SPIKED PINCH CHOKE COLLAR?



> and gave instructions on how to do so properly.


Oh, you mean to offer IT a cookie an let IT smell the
back of your hand, offered from UNDERNEATH,
like a CHIN CHUCK, so the dog don't think you're
fixin to STRIKE IT liea?

Perhaps you can EXXXPLAIN again HOWE a
CHIN CHUCK AIN'T HITTIN THE DOG, liea,
and HOWE IT IS that a dog bein CHIN CHUCKED
don't KNOW it's the lyin dog abusin mental case with
the HANDS who HIT HIM?



>  The kid promptly disobeyed every instruction.


Oh, you mean he went up to IT an sez 'HOWEDY' an
SCARED your FEAR AGGRESSIVE dog Cubbe?


> Cubbe got scared and gave a brief snap.


Naaah? She got a BAD HABIT of ATTACKIN
innocent defenseless critters, like that 12 year
old dog Chief, DHOWEN the street?

Hey liea? HOWE did you manage to get your neighbor
with the barkin Pit Bull to GET RID OF HER DOG?
Did you have to call animal CON-TROLL on her very
often?



>  I'd have given the kid a kiss,


That'd be the kiss of death, eh, liea?


>  a band-aid


You mean for the BITE he DIDN'T GET, liea?


> and lesson on listening to instructions,


You mean YOUR instructions, liea? Even a CHILD
knows you're a pathetic miserable stinkin lyin dog
an child abusin imbecile <{}: ~ ( >


> but the parents took him to the emergency room which got the Law
involved.


"I don't even think she broke the kid's skin".

Perhaps you're in DENIAL, eh, liea?



> At the time, we were terrified that Cubbe would be killed.


Seems it was YOU who WANTED TO KILL HER, liea.


> We were white with fear for every part of the process.


Well that's NORMAL for a NATURAL BORN COWARD.

NHOWE you know HOWE your neighbor with the Pit
Bull felt when YOU MADE HER GET RID OF HER
DOGS on accHOWENTA THEY SCARED YOU.

Oh THAT'S on accHOWENTA she's ALWAYS BEEN

IN FACT, your own FEAR AGGRESSIVE dog Cubbe
ATTACKED YOUR VETERINARIAN, remember
NHOWE, liea?

Do you use a standard or CUSTOM MADE PRONGED

Rabies is only seriHOWES if you're a ignorameHOWES

up sumpthin you shouldn't be touchin, liea.

Yeah,

Oh? Did the kid BITE the DOG, liea?

That so? Does their ill mannered KID attack very
often, like HOWE YOUR OWN FEAR AGGRESSIVE
HOWETA CON-TROLL dog Cubbe has done ON
THREE OCCASIONS with people and WON with
your vet and at least WON with the old dog DHOWEN
the street, liea?

That's like FIVE BITES your own FEAR AGGRESSIVE
DOG Cubbe has done on INNOCENT DEFENSELESS
PEOPLE, not countin the DOG she attacked and probably
a few others you ain't mentioned.


BY ANY STANDARDS CUBBE SHOUL DIE.


UNLESS she's a POLICE DOG attackin HOODLUM KIDS
and a HOWEsbreaker personal friend and a HOWEstile vet.


Let's talk abHOWET the LAW in your
city regardin DOG BITES, liea?

Shameful, eh, liea?

this

You mean on accHOWENTA WON BAD APPLE
ruinin all the FUN for everyWON else, liea? That's
just what the Pit Bull people worry abHOWET, liea.
WON BAD EXXXAMPLE like Cubbe gettin their
fear aggressive Pit Bulls taken away from them by
the Doggy Nazis <{}: ~ ( >


> The other day I relaxed the rule


You mean you CHANGED YOUR MIND AGAIN, liea?

PERHAPS your FEAR AGGRESSIVE dog Cubbe
ATTACKED the child on accHOWENTA she KNEW
 you didn't LIKE him, liea?


>  All went well.


You mean you GOT LUCKY, liea?

Hey assHOWEL? Wouldn't it make MOORE sense
to TELL THE KID your dog ATTACKS CHILDREN?


> even where there's a beloved dog involved.


You mean a dog you'd have to MURDER on accHOWENTA IT
ATTACKS innocent defenseless dumb critters on accHOWENTA
you JERK an CHOKE IT on your PRONGED SPIKED PINCH
CHOKE COLLAR an SHOCK IT, liea?

That ain't true, liea. You've seen this behavior in your own dog.

You mean "ADVICE" LIKE THIS?:

"Cubbe Got Out In The Neighborhood Leashless: It Was
 Horrible! I Let Cubbe Out In The Backyard With Her Usual
 ZAP Collar - The 10 Year Old Child Went To Give Cubbe
A Hug  She Gave A Snarl-Snap.  I don't even think she broke
the kid's skin and as far as I'm concerned, it was the kid's own

THAT was on accHOWENTA the veterinary behaviorist
AIN'T GOT NO METHOD to train this dog not to do that.

Oh, THAT'S EZ, liea: "Unfortunately, while things improved

Does that give you a glimmer of a IDEA, liea?

Subject: OT: occasional post-this newsgroup


He *is* nuts.  Don't answer him.


--Lia


This message is posted to rec.pets.dogs.behavior (r.p.d.b.)
regularly and occasionally to other newsgroups including
alt.animals.dog, rec.pets.dogs.rescue, alt.pets.dog, and
rec.pets.dogs.misc.  These are unmoderated groups meaning
that no one checks the messages to make sure they're on-
topic, civil or sensible before they go through.


The purpose of this occasional posting is to give information
about the newsgroup so that discussion about the newsgroup
itself is cut down and discussion about dogs increases.


Like so many usenet groups, this group has people who
 post annoyingly and constantly, people who post angry
and abusive messages, people who post to irritate others.


It's up to individuals to decide which posters bother them.


Here are some guidelines that many people follow to
make this newsgroup pleasant and informative:


1.  Use your killfile.  A killfile (or filter) makes invisible
posts by any particular person or with any particular words
 in the subject line.


The posts are still there, but they don't show up on the
screen of the person using the killfile. Look at
http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/killfile/killfilefaq.htm
for instructions.


2.  Don't make more noise.  The only thing more annoying
 than a troll is an otherwise rational person arguing with or
about a troll.


That's known as feeding the trolls.  Please don't feed the
trolls. It really is insane to attempt rational discussion with
the insane.


3.  Want to exercise your right to free speech and argue
about or with trolls anyway?  Put "ninnyboy" in the
subject line.  That way the people who want to join the
fracas can, and those who don't can opt out by killfiling
"ninnyboy."  If you don't do this, expect to be killfiled
yourself.  [Jerry], with the brackets is also a recognized
signal.


4.  Figured out that arguing with trolls is useless but
 still want to talk about trolls by referring to them in
 the third person?  Put "ninnyboy" in the subject line
then too.  That subject is boring too.


5.  Trim quoted posts to include only the part you're
responding to. Quoting an entire long post in order to
 respond to only a small piece of it is annoying.  Again,
if you don't do this, expect to be killfiled.


6.  Understand Candace.  Candace is an automatic
program that answers troll posts automatically,
repetititively and relentlessly.


Most of us find these posts boring after a
short while  and killfile it too.


That's O.K.  You can't hurt its feelings.


7.  Show no fear.  Have a question or need to admit that
you've made errors in dog training in the past?  This is
still a good place to come for (often contradictory) advice.


Use your own judgment to decide what advice to follow
 and what not to.  No harm can come to you even if people
vehemently disagree, call you names or repost your old
messages.


8.  Label off-topic threads as "OT."  A label helps people
decide what to read and what not to.


9.  Check the F.A.Q. for answers to frequent non-
complicated questions.


10.  Don't post pictures.  This is not a binary newsgroup.
That's plain text only, no HTML, no attachments.  If you'd
like, post a pointer to a website with pictures on it.


11.  Don't crosspost.  It's bad enough when someone posts
something dog related to all the groups having to do with
 dogs.  It's worse when totally unrelated groups get tossed
 in the mix.  Feel like you absolutely have to jump in on
something that's been crossposted to unrelated groups?


Erase the extraneous ones when you answer.

Subject: OT - Should I bring back the occasional post?


The subject line says it all.


When I started posting the occasional post, the idea
was to help new people understand what's going on with
the annoyances on this newsgroup


I wanted to help them understand that anything they had
to say on the subject had been said before, wouldn't do
any long term good and would bore a bunch of people in
the short term.  I stopped because I wasn't sure I was
accompli****ng my goal.  Now I'm not so sure.  I'm seeing
so many unmarked arguments with the annoyances.


Any opinions?


I'm not taking a vote, but I do care what the regulars think.


For new people, the occasional post is as follows.  Do you
think that seeing it when you first started posting would
have helped?


Would it be more useful if it weren't so precise and wordy?
Maybe something shorter?  I'm thinking it needs an update.
