Subject: OCD "Success In One Day," Puzzle.

HOWEDY People,

Here's an account of a dog who'd been involved in a
traumatic HOWES invasion and is now Ooops! WAS
barking uncontrollably.

I'm countin on 100% success in two days. Care to stake
your life, career, and reputation that I won't cure this
OCD behavior BEFORE three days are up???


NOPE. That's the problem!

YOU GOT TO SAY IT EVERY TIME, or it don't work....

Is THAT training? NOPE...

Training is supposed to control the behavior automatically,
as you like it. Too much, too little, no problem. Just train the
pup to respond as you'd prefer.

You'd prefer her not to bark, follow the technique
and there'll be no more barking. But telling her to STOP,
is only perpetuating your NEEDING to tell her "enough."

Don't improvise on the technique, because "just telling
her ENOUGH" is NOT in the method, and WILL cause
anxiety about the situation and put you at odds with
your pup.

Use distraction and praise till the behavior is extinguished
instead of stopping the behavior by forced control, i.e.,
"enough." Even though you're not saying it in a scolding
way, you're still arguing with your dog.


Praise first, tell her it's O.K., and then interrupt further
barking
with distraction and praise, calling her as a default should the
distraction / praise fail, and then RELEASE her to attempt
another bark if that's her desire, so you may break that attempt
using distract/praise till the behavior is properly extinguished.

That way you can train her to only bark enough to alert you
when something disturbs her. Then you can train her to
not bark at all but to come get you to say there's sumpthin up...


Praise first, then tell her it's friends, more praise, next
bark distract / praise and LET HER WORK THROUGH
the problem till it's extinguished and then generalize it
in other areas. When she looks like she's about to bark
but hasn't YET, PRAISE THAT and prepare to interrupt
her next bark following the VARIABLE distraction and praise technique.


EZ. Same same. Every thing is same same. If you can't
envision the sameness of a problem, give me a holler
and we'll look at it from every angle till we see HOWE'S
best to deal with it. You're better off to momentarily avoid
or even ignore a problem RATHER than jump into an issue
you're not prepared to PROPERLY EXTINGUISH. That's
HOWE bad habits and OCD's are caused. Like this one.


Relax. You're walkin down your own street, every thing
is O.K. friends and you're not going to pull back on her
lead to force control, you'll continue as you desire and
simply interrupt any inappropriate action or thought with
distract/praise for 5-15 seconds.


No problem. The OBJECTIVE of training is to have the
behaviors you desire and extinguish those you don't.
The techniques will break the behaviors as best they
can, but some behaviors are going to always be
restimulated by the outside sounds or the kat trying
to get her goat.

Just follow the routine and every behavior will come
into control as she learns to not need to respond to
every sound and every temptation the kat offers.
Should take a couple of days.

Not for long. So long as you don't get frustrated and holler
SHUDDUP! That'll cause her anxiety and you're back in
the jackpot again. Follow the technique and in one or
two nites you should be cuttin Zzzzz's right through.

But that may require a couple nites for you to make
a sound distraction and praise, and then if she barks
again, you'll probably need to SILENTLY get up and
go to where you're able to present the sound
distraction from opposite of that of the last one from
your bed.

If you're in a small bedroom you might be able to
snap your fingers on one side of the bed and then
the other, depending on the layout. Like say the
window is at the foot of the bed and you dog is
at your feet standing there 12' away. You might
be able to reach over and snap your fingers
from alternate sides of the bed and be all set.


If my dogs are chewing or scratching or even panting
too loudly, I can distract and praise them quietly enough
not to disturb the Mrs.

NO PROBLEM. Distract and praise every anxious thought
or behavior. Notice her breathing. If she's huffing and puffing
that's anxiety, distract and praise till it's extinguished and
she'll sleep. If it takes you fifty times tonite, break each
symptom of anxiety using the techniques and you'll be DONE by tomorrow nite.

She probably feels safe there cause she's got the
jump on an intruder. Work my methods and she'll
feel safe trusting your judgement. Correcting her
has DIMINISHED her confidence in your ability
to PROTECT the HOWES because in her mind
you're not aware enough to know there's somethin
spookey out there!

Teach her to understand REAL spooks from phantasms.


Right. Pay her and she's done!

Hyper-vigilence,

Yup follow the techniques to extinguish any inappropriate
behaviors, feelings, thoughts etc. I've got other techniques
and guaranteed sure fire cures for this and all behaviors,
but this is the starting point for you. Get your handling
techniques up to par and your dog will have no problems
because you won't be creating any stress. Crating is
a major problem for this sort of issue so DON'T be crating
him to calm him down cause it'll likely backfire.


I dunno. Should be DONE by tomorrow nite if you
can do all of the exercises in part 1 of your manual.
That'll insure you've got all the confidence issues
straightened out through the Family Leadership Exercise
and the come command as a conditioned reflex.

Is that soon enough for you? If not, I can put the Elves
on it for you but they could be flighty if I disturb them
unnecessarily. Just ask me if you have difficulty with the methods.


Because he's POWERFUL. You're defenseless. Also, if
he's more stern with her than you are, it will cause her
much insecurity and that's got to be dealt with or she'll
always be overstimulated by his 'proper handling.' It
doesn't take much repression to cause major anxiety
problems.

Tellin a dog not to bark or ignoring when he's scared is
repressive and causes much anxiety. You can't
command a crying baby to go back to sleep, you
check and reassure him and set him down when
he's ready to catch some Zzzz's.


torture.

No problem. Give this till tomorrow nite and call me
if you can't sleep and ask me to tell you HOWE COME
you can't get your dog to shut up!!!


That's another reason we don't respond as our 'common sense'
might tell us to. Most of my training methods are CONTRAWISE,
to quote a soon to be famous ****-ytic behaviorist who recommends
scruff shaking and is comfortable with shock collars if YOU are.

THAT'S an ANXIETY RELIEF mechanism from...repressing her barking.


You COULD rather easily teach her to shove the toy into
her own mouth each time she thinks of barking. Should
be able to do that in about ten minutes, given the set up.


Naaah. You don't need me for ideas. I'll help you through
the basics, and then you'll use your ideas to make your
dog naturally want to do every thing you ask. Just ask
if you need any help or really really run out of ideas.
Sometimes I think for a couple days about a problem
before figuring out all the ramifications of everything
and come up with a set up or lesson plan to extinguish the behavior.


As stated. You'll get the basics down, and then you'll
follow the technique, and most of the problems will
be done by tomorrow nite. If you have a special
concern just back up and look at it from the big
picture and don't focus on the SYMPTOM.

Although it's not often necessary to go into deep
worry about the cause of a problem, sometimes
if you got a pain in the butt it might help to stand
up and remove the tack from your seat instead
of taking a pain killer.

For behaviors that don't resolve quickly using
appropriate methods we can be pretty sure it's
a physical problem or a consistent source of stress.

Try to figure out the stressor or physical cause,
and then you'll be able to break the anxiety.

In this case the barking is not cause by the noises,
it's caused by lack of confidence in you, complicated
by the strong persona of the Mr., giving her false
messages. IOW, if Mr. was an omnipotent leader,
he'd be able to control the noises when he's not
there to take charge.

That's what we tell the dog when we force control.

My pleasure. I'm looking forward to updating it soon.

Excellent.

My pleasure. Just ask if you need any help. Keep me
posted. I expect to hear from you in two or three days
sayin he's 100% cured.

Well, evidently she hasn't learned the "NO!"
command:

Here's research professor of ****-ytic behaviorISM
at UofWI marshall "SCRUFF SHAKE and SCREAM
"NO!" into ITS face for five seconds and lock IT in a
box for ten minutes contemplation" dermer:

"At this point, "No" does not have any behavioral function.
But, if you say "No,"pick up the puppy by its neck and
shake it a bit, and the frequency of the biting decreases
then you will have achieved too things.

First, the frequency of unwanted chewing has decreased;
and two, you have established "No" as a conditioned punisher.

How much neck pulling and shaking? Just the
minimum necessary to decrease the unwanted
biting.

**********IS THAT A CONSISTENT 5 SECONDS?************

When our dog was a puppy, "No" came before mild
forms of punishment (I would hold my dog's mouth
closed for a few seconds.) whereas "Bad Dog" came
before stronger punishement (the kind discussed above).

"No" is usually sufficient but sometimes I use "Bad Dog"
to stop a behavior. "Bad Dog" ALWAYS works," dermer.

Naive is thinking that dilettante dog breeders and

I would suggest that the licking is the dog wanting
your or anyone elses attention. So give the dog the
attention it 's asking for.

Maybe it feels insecure and it's asking for your reassurance. An
easy way to stop the licking
and reassure your dog is to use sound distraction
and immediate praise.

When the dog licks click your fingers and
immediately praise thedog. The click distracts
the dogs thoughts and the praise gives the dog
the reassurance.

EASY. Any negative attitude on your part
only compounds the problem, the dog licks,
your reject it, so it licks more to try to make
amends and the cycle goes on and on and
the dog loses trust in you.

If you praise the dog anytime it comes to you
it won't need to lick you, it's already got what
it wants, your attention.

I use that technique to stop lots of behaviours,
even when the dogs start licking themselves,
click and praise, they just stop no problem no
anxiety and no more slurping.

My dog (a 1 year old Yellow Lab) was biting his tail
at the root (Vet said his **** gland was blocked, and
was causing an itch).

After squeezing it, he still wouldn't stop biting his
tail. The vet advised a neck-funnel (don't know wat
you US-guy's call those) so he couldn't reach his butt.

I hate those things, i think they will drive a dog nuts.

I tried the wits end method. (difficult to read such a long
textfile if English is not your native language) Luckily this
is without all the "HOWE's" etc.so at least it's readable for
somebody like me.

The minute he started to bite i trew my key's
next to him on the floor, and praised him (he
stopped biting and looked up when he heard
the sound) I did this 7 times,

after that the tailbiting completely stopped.
Just give the wits end method a try.

and started chewing and licking his tail at the root.

After the glands were squeezed, and the itch was
gone he still wouldn't stop. (because the place he
chewed raw was itching)

After some training (roughly the same methode as

RTFM is age-old computer lingo.... It stands for

But it is a long text to read (76 pages printed on

him something new takes about 30minutes (depending on what to
teach offcourse)

My other dog (a 7year old staffordshire terrier-mix) is a bit
slower in learning, but he is used to me calling him a "bad
dog"whenever he did something i didn't want him to do, or
it might be the age.

Sometimes it looks like Sam (the lab) WANTS to learn
something new: he wants me to bring along the can
filled with washers whenever we go for a walk. It is a
very "humane" way of teaching: the dog is allways a
"good dog", and never a "bad dog"

There is nu punishment or prong-collars involved.

For a fact i tought him to heel in 15min's without
beeing on a leach at-all !!! When he spotted a dog,
he used to run towards it, but now i tought him to "ask

SHUDDUP! That'll cause her anxiety and you're back in
the jackpot again. Follow the technique and in one or
two nites you should be cuttin Zzzzz's right through.

But that may require a couple nites for you to make
a sound distraction and praise, and then if she barks
again, you'll probably need to SILENTLY get up and
go to where you're able to present the sound
distraction from opposite of that of the last one from
your bed.

If you're in a small bedroom you might be able to
snap your fingers on one side of the bed and then
the other, depending on the layout. Like say the
window is at the foot of the bed and you dog is
at your feet standing there 12' away. You might
be able to reach over and snap your fingers
from alternate sides of the bed and be all set.


If my dogs are chewing or scratching or even panting
too loudly, I can distract and praise them quietly enough
not to disturb the Mrs.

NO PROBLEM. Distract and praise every anxious thought
or behavior. Notice her breathing. If she's huffing and puffing
that's anxiety, distract and praise till it's extinguished and
she'll sleep. If it takes you fifty times tonite, break each
symptom of anxiety using the techniques and you'll be DONE by tomorrow nite.

She probably feels safe there cause she's got the
jump on an intruder. Work my methods and she'll
feel safe trusting your judgement. Correcting her
has DIMINISHED her confidence in your ability
to PROTECT the HOWES because in her mind
you're not aware enough to know there's somethin
spookey out there!

Teach her to understand REAL spooks from phantasms.


Right. Pay her and she's done!

Hyper-vigilence,

Yup follow the techniques to extinguish any inappropriate
behaviors, feelings, thoughts etc. I've got other techniques
and guaranteed sure fire cures for this and all behaviors,
but this is the starting point for you. Get your handling
techniques up to par and your dog will have no problems
because you won't be creating any stress. Crating is
a major problem for this sort of issue so DON'T be crating
him to calm him down cause it'll likely backfire.


I dunno. Should be DONE by tomorrow nite if you
can do all of the exercises in part 1 of your manual.
That'll insure you've got all the confidence issues
straightened out through the Family Leadership Exercise
and the come command as a conditioned reflex.

Is that soon enough for you? If not, I can put the Elves
on it for you but they could be flighty if I disturb them
unnecessarily. Just ask me if you have difficulty with the methods.


Because he's POWERFUL. You're defenseless. Also, if
he's more stern with her than you are, it will cause her
much insecurity and that's got to be dealt with or she'll
always be overstimulated by his 'proper handling.' It
doesn't take much repression to cause major anxiety
problems.

Tellin a dog not to bark or ignoring when he's scared is
repressive and causes much anxiety. You can't
command a crying baby to go back to sleep, you
check and reassure him and set him down when
he's ready to catch some Zzzz's.


torture.

No problem. Give this till tomorrow nite and call me
if you can't sleep and ask me to tell you HOWE COME
you can't get your dog to shut up!!!


That's another reason we don't respond as our 'common sense'
might tell us to. Most of my training methods are CONTRAWISE,
to quote a soon to be famous ****-ytic behaviorist who recommends
scruff shaking and is comfortable with shock collars if YOU are.

THAT'S an ANXIETY RELIEF mechanism from...repressing her barking.


You COULD rather easily teach her to shove the toy into
her own mouth each time she thinks of barking. Should
be able to do that in about ten minutes, given the set up.


Naaah. You don't need me for ideas. I'll help you through
the basics, and then you'll use your ideas to make your
dog naturally want to do every thing you ask. Just ask
if you need any help or really really run out of ideas.
Sometimes I think for a couple days about a problem
before figuring out all the ramifications of everything
and come up with a set up or lesson plan to extinguish the behavior.


As stated. You'll get the basics down, and then you'll
follow the technique, and most of the problems will
be done by tomorrow nite. If you have a special
concern just back up and look at it from the big
picture and don't focus on the SYMPTOM.

Although it's not often necessary to go into deep
worry about the cause of a problem, sometimes
if you got a pain in the butt it might help to stand
up and remove the tack from your seat instead
of taking a pain killer.

For behaviors that don't resolve quickly using
appropriate methods we can be pretty sure it's
a physical problem or a consistent source of stress.

Try to figure out the stressor or physical cause,
and then you'll be able to break the anxiety.

In this case the barking is not cause by the noises,
it's caused by lack of confidence in you, complicated
by the strong persona of the Mr., giving her false
messages. IOW, if Mr. was an omnipotent leader,
he'd be able to control the noises when he's not
there to take charge.

That's what we tell the dog when we force control.

My pleasure. I'm looking forward to updating it soon.

Excellent.

My pleasure. Just ask if you need any help. Keep me
posted. I expect to hear from you in two or three days
sayin he's 100% cured.

Yeah. That's BONDING behavior.

You mean you IGNORE her when

RIGHT! Cause you're trying to punish
and intimidate your dog for BONDING attempts.


Yeah. Perhaps you should go "EEEK" and
turn away and ignore and tie IT to a wall
in the other room for ten seconds or ten
minutes depending on HOWE your LUCK
is runnin and not let IT know you're not
payin IT no attention as you tie IT up?


Could last till you murder your dog.


Well, evidently she hasn't learned the "NO!"
command:

Here's research professor of ****-ytic behaviorISM
at UofWI marshall "SCRUFF SHAKE and SCREAM
"NO!" into ITS face for five seconds and lock IT in a
box for ten minutes contemplation" dermer:

"At this point, "No" does not have any behavioral function.
But, if you say "No,"pick up the puppy by its neck and
shake it a bit, and the frequency of the biting decreases
then you will have achieved too things.

First, the frequency of unwanted chewing has decreased;
and two, you have established "No" as a conditioned punisher.

How much neck pulling and shaking? Just the
minimum necessary to decrease the unwanted
biting.

**********IS THAT A CONSISTENT 5 SECONDS?************

When our dog was a puppy, "No" came before mild
forms of punishment (I would hold my dog's mouth
closed for a few seconds.) whereas "Bad Dog" came
before stronger punishement (the kind discussed above).

"No" is usually sufficient but sometimes I use "Bad Dog"
to stop a behavior. "Bad Dog" ALWAYS works," dermer.

To my mind, "naive" is believing you can terrorize a dog
into good behavior. Naive is believing that people that
hide behind fake names are more honest than people thatuse their
real names.

Naive is thinking that dilettante dog breeders and
amateur "trainers" like Joey (lyingdogDUMMY, j.h.)
are the equal or better than those that have studied
and lived by their craft for decades.

"Stupid" is believing that people do not see kindergarten

that people like Jerry Howe and Marilyn Rammell are

Why do you act like fools? I really have no

I think I'm going to get one myself for Father's day and

Hello People,

Robert Crim was a former Gang Of Thugs Member

Robert was a long time friend and prominent contributor
to rpdb, till Jerry came along and WIZED him up.

And then they attacked him too. He learned the hard
way and no longer posts to his former pals because
it's just too painful knowing his pals would rather HURT
and KILL their dogs than to admit that JERRY is RIGHT.

I would suggest that the licking is the dog wanting
your or anyone elses attention. So give the dog the
attention it 's asking for.

Maybe it feels insecure and it's asking for your reassurance. An
easy way to stop the licking
and reassure your dog is to use sound distraction
and immediate praise.

When the dog licks click your fingers and
immediately praise thedog. The click distracts
the dogs thoughts and the praise gives the dog
the reassurance.

EASY. Any negative attitude on your part
only compounds the problem, the dog licks,
your reject it, so it licks more to try to make
amends and the cycle goes on and on and
the dog loses trust in you.

If you praise the dog anytime it comes to you
it won't need to lick you, it's already got what
it wants, your attention.

I use that technique to stop lots of behaviours,
even when the dogs start licking themselves,
click and praise, they just stop no problem no
anxiety and no more slurping.

My dog (a 1 year old Yellow Lab) was biting his tail
at the root (Vet said his **** gland was blocked, and
was causing an itch).

After squeezing it, he still wouldn't stop biting his
tail. The vet advised a neck-funnel (don't know wat
you US-guy's call those) so he couldn't reach his butt.

I hate those things, i think they will drive a dog nuts.

I tried the wits end method. (difficult to read such a long
textfile if English is not your native language) Luckily this
is without all the "HOWE's" etc.so at least it's readable for
somebody like me.

The minute he started to bite i trew my key's
next to him on the floor, and praised him (he
stopped biting and looked up when he heard
the sound) I did this 7 times,

after that the tailbiting completely stopped.
Just give the wits end method a try.

The same thing worked with my lab licking/chewing
problem too. He had an itch due to blocked **** glands
and started chewing and licking his tail at the root.

After the glands were squeezed, and the itch was
gone he still wouldn't stop. (because the place he
chewed raw was itching)

After some training (roughly the same methode as
yours) he stopped.

RTFM is age-old computer lingo.... It stands for
"Read The F***ing Manual" ;-) I used the manual
and it works very good!

But it is a long text to read (76 pages printed on
A4-size paper) My lab is 1year old now, and teaching
him something new takes about 30minutes (depending on what to
teach offcourse)

My other dog (a 7year old staffordshire terrier-mix) is a bit
slower in learning, but he is used to me calling him a "bad
dog"whenever he did something i didn't want him to do, or
it might be the age.

Sometimes it looks like Sam (the lab) WANTS to learn
something new: he wants me to bring along the can
filled with washers whenever we go for a walk. It is a
very "humane" way of teaching: the dog is allways a
"good dog", and never a "bad dog"

There is nu punishment or prong-collars involved.

For a fact i tought him to heel in 15min's without
beeing on a leach at-all !!! When he spotted a dog,
he used to run towards it, but now i tought him to "ask
permission" first, and to my surprise it worked!

My dogs never went to puppy-training (lucky for them),
maybe this helped too.

Trust your dog, ask it to do your request and say
"good dog" sincerely at the end of the request and
I bet you'll find your dog thinking then responding
everytime.

A bit of respect works wonders, the same rule applies
to every aspect of the relationship with your dog.

Obedience and affection are not related, if they were
everyone would have obedient dogs.
