Of Lying Dog Abusing Punk Thug Cowards
and MENTAL CASES who post here abHOWETS.

And you're writing today to share your success
stories with all the good folks who've heelped you so much.


A dog is a dog.


A dog is STILL a dog.


Well, that's on accHOWENT of you MISHANDLE him.


That's EX to cure if you know HOWE.


You mean he's fear aggressive.


Cause you MISHANDLE him.


Cause you've MISHANDLED him.

Cause you've MISHANDLED him.


Where someWON else can MISHANDLE him for you
in the far fetched hope they'll MISHANDLE him through
his PHOBIAS cause by MISHANDLING.


The dog will no dHOWET behave better withHOWET
his abusers standing there...

Yeah. That's probably what he'll THINK.

Despite that he COWERS and AGGRESSES.


Perhaps he learned that from you.


Yeah... you ain't gonna get no heelp from
the liars dog abusers cowards and mental
cases who post here abHOWETS.

Jerry!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's in about a week's time.

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

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

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

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

Aloha Jerry,

Just wanted to let you know that the surrogate toy
technique is working wonders. I have not had a
shredded sheet for over a week now. It is nice
to be able to leave the bed made and come home
to a made bed.

Your program is awesome, but you already know
that. Keep up the good work!

Review the Hot & Cold Exercise and the Family
Leadership Exercise and the come command.
That'll give you absolute control.


That's good. Ask her to heel when you're walkin
her. Do the heeling pattern exercise when she
breaks to get involved with the other dogs.


That's O.K. Work on the heel till you can pass
them withHOWET her breaking heel.


Right. That's probably from bribing her to sit
before you started my method. The request
to sit increases anxiety if they've been bribed
to sit. It'll work when there's no other excitement.
That's the PROBLEM with treat or click treat or
any PHYSICAL REWARD methods.


Good. Handle the lead pupperly and reverse
and instantly praise when she breaks the heel.
When she fails to reverse, ask her to come,
that's the default in part 2 of the manual under
Four Step Heeling Pattern Exercise. (Work on
that till you're proficient).

We'd ONLY want to do that after the above fails.
You'd make the sound soon as she alerts on the
other dogs and continue working the heel command.


As long as you're not using the sound as an aversive
and instantly following it with praise and NEVER pullin
on the lead, you can't mess her up.

With the way she lunges you've got PLENTY of time
to effect a sound distraction.... but you gotta still be
workin the heel. Try to rely on the heel command to
get her through passin other dogs or greeting them.

If you got to use sound in front of other dogs they
got to be praised as well.

Seek HOWET some distractions soon as you've reviewed the basics.

LikeWIZE. It's a PERFECT method but it's
unf****ving of mistakes. But at worst it can't
make the dogs aggressive or shy so long
as you're praising pupperly.


INDEED. That's likey to be the first mistake
we make that triggers the dog to pull or bolt.


Yeah. That's the other reason it's so crucial to
handle the lead EXACTLY as instructed.


Ain't it! We can NEVER have a bad day workin
with HOWER dogs cause even if they're not
cooperating we just follow the technique and
they got not choice but to be happy in their work.


As you work with her she'll calm down and eat less.

It's such a pleasure havin NEVER to scold or
punish or bribe my dogs.


My pleasure entirely. Spread the good news.


Yours, Jerry.

Subject: House training and such...
Date: 2003-10-08 16:18:56 PST

I've been having a problem with my dog, Axel,
relieving himself in the house while I'm away
from home.

I've used TPW method's, and yesterday I was out
for 12 hours, and Axel didn't have one single "accident".

Today, I had hoped that the results would be just as
good - and they were (I was out for 11 hours).

The problem began when, as a puppy, Axel would
relieve himself in the house and I would point at the
mess and tell him "NO" or "Bad Dog".

That made him afraid to relieve himself in the house
or infront of me.

After I got TPW's training manual, I corrected my
mishandling of these instances.

When I came home to an "accident", I would simply
drop a can near the area and ask Axel "What's that?"
Then I would clean it up - with out showing him I was
the least bit upset about the mess, and when he looked
at the spot I would tell him "Good boy, you're a good dog".

This has been an ongoing problem, and thanks to the
Puppy Wizard, we've finally got it taken care of...

Also, Axel LOVES the cat's litter box...He enjoys the
"snacks" he can find in there...I followed TPW's methods
by alternating sounds and praising him while or before
he sticks his nose in it, and today, he's been going into
the room with the cat box and barking. That's because
he's thinking about getting into the box, but he knows he
shouldn't.

Thank you, Jerry, for all you help. You've been a
blessing to all of us.

AIMEE

===================

Here's Aimee's original post and her first post to
The Puppy Wizard:

I own a black an tan coonhound. We got him as a puppy, and
due to constant mishandling (pulling on his lead, negative
corrections, and the occasional use of a bark collar) I ended
up with a very anxious dog.

I couldn't leave him home alone, I couldn't crate him, I couldn't
even take my dog for walks because he feared EVERYTHING.

I was going to have to get rid of him if things didn't turn
around.

My husband and I searched the internet for answers - AND
WE FOUND THE PUPPY WIZARD.

For all of you disbeliveers out there HIS METHODS WORK!

I've followed his manual, and we now have a dog that can be
left home alone, that heels on command, that can go outside
and NOT be afraid of everything he sees.

Not only have his methods help our dog, but our marriage
has gotten better. We had fallen into a rut - constant bickering
and tension, we never laughed or had FUN together - but now, with
the same mindset used in THE PUPPY WIZARDS dog training, our
communications channels have opened, and we
now work together instead of against one another.

For all the "Literalists" out there, NO WE DID NOT
TEACH EACH OTHER TO SIT, STAY, OR HEEL.

We simply eliminated the nagging and the acting out
to get NEGATIVE attention from one another since we
weren't getting the POSITIVE attention we wanted.

So, it's been proven - THE PUPPY WIZARDS METHODS
WORK. It's up to you to accept them. Yes, there's alot of
blame that we have to accept, but once we realize that we've
caused these problems to arise, we can strive to make things
better.

Hey J,

I see nothings changed on the NG. Still the same
old crappy advice and misunderstanding of the
only advice worth reading.

The problem with your method J is that I can't
answer the questions on the NG no more, people
are after a quick fix, they don't want to understand
that dog training requires a disiplined method, I'm
now really understanding that they are all result
orientated, they want the dog to sit, to down, to
stay, to come, to stop it's "bad" behaviours, they
want to stamp out each anxiety one at a time not
realising they create a new one as they deal with
the last.

I feel sorry for them, they don't understand, they
don't even realise the errors of thier ways and
they arn't self thinkers, they follow the majority,
after all if everyone says thats the way then it
must be. I've finally realised people don't want
to learn to train dogs they want a trained dog,
they want a little puppet that sits and stays and
downs and does all the nice doggy stuff or so
they think, then when the dog acts like a dog
they come squealing to the NG asking how to
stop the dog being a dog.

I have a nice little visulisation of a dogs mind
that I think demonstrates the way we approach
dog training. Imagine lots of little circles all in a
cluster, each one representing a dog anxiety or
behaviour ( desied or not), each circle represents
something about the dog, all of them create what
a dog is.

The traditional way to train a dog is to stamp out
the "bad" circles, try to eliminate as many as you
can, problem is each one you stamp out another
takes it's place (anxiety circles can't be destroyed
they just change), obviously it's a futile exercise,
but thats the traditional way.

Now imagine a big circle that completely surrounds
all the small circles, this big circle is the whole dog,
that's what we get hold of with all the little circles
inside, we don't see the little circles we see the BIG
circle the macro as you put it and use that to train.

I laugh now when I see posts critisising you, they
are critising something they don't even understand
or even have the capacity to understand.

See ya,

Paul

HOWEDY krisHURT,


But you wouldn't hesitate to shock and choke
him on your pronged spiked pinch choke collar.

<snip imaginary spiders>


Or choking beating and shocking them.


Well, not if you don't know HOWE to train a dog.
All behavior problems are CAUSED BY MISHANDLING.
Therefore, ALL behavior problems are EZ to E***TINGUISH NEARLY INSTANTLY.


BWEEHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Maybe there's a ditch digger or truck driver in the neighborhood?

Offering food bribes to dogs makes them FEARFUL.
Dogs are SCAVENGERS that STEAL SCRAPS and
run to hide to eat them with their back to the wall in
a heightened state of alert.


That could provoke her dog to attack.

That's sheer idiocy. She'll end up chokin her dog someMOORE.
<snip bribery>


You mean instead of CURING his phobias NEARLY INSTANTLY???
<snip idiocy>

That may CAUSE him to ATTACK as has been
REPORTED here by several of your lying dog
abusing punk thug coward pals...


Or he'll GO MENTAL, like yourself.


BWEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

There ain't no behavior problem that
can't be CURED NEARLY INSTANTLY
if you don't bribe choke and intimidate dogs.

In order to break a REFLEXIVE behavior you've
got to RESTIMULATE that behavior and interrupt
the thought process several times in succession...

And then there's noMOORE PROBLEM.

You can't post here abHOWETS noMOORE.


Not that it's time consuming and too much
work, but that it DOESN'T WORK...


You mean, a straight jacket?


You mean, so he can be HAPPY.

They choke and shock dogs to make them friendly.

The Puppy Wizard has DISCREDITED the E***PERTS.


You're a liar and a dog abuser, krisHURT.

HOWEDY Irene,

You can CURE your dog's phobias NEARLY INSTANTLY
if you follow all the instructions in your FREE copy of The
Puppy Wizard's FREE WWW Wits' End Dog Training
Method Manual.

Disciple Paulie Writes:

I've never forced my dogs to do anything, I tell them
they are good dogs and they seem to follow me, once
I told them they were bad dogs and they ran away from
me, now I only ever tell them they are good dogs and
they always are, always.

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.

Paul.

Jerry!

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

He has since become the "smartest dog in the world"!

Once I stopped thinking like a human and got
inside his head, I can teach him ANYTHING,
usually in a matter of minutes.

Makes me look like an expert dog-trainer.

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

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

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

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

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

A horseman friend of mine uses very similar
techniques in training his horses- he calls it
"natural horsemanship".

He is hated by nearly all the local "trainers" yet
somehow he repeatedly wins at every show he
attends. He rarely shows any more, but goes now
and then to rub their noses in it (pun intended)...

Too cool....

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

Okay, I gotta speak up here... We've been using
Jerry's methods with our dog. We had the same
problem as the original poster has with Buzz.

One day working with the family pack exercise
and practicing the recall command with the family
and she'll now go out with hubby and daughter
instead of needing me to reassure her or even
refusing to go with anyone but me.

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

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

That's in about a week's time.

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

She had been abused and beaten by previous
owners, then she was in a shelter for months.

They (most of them) wanted to give up and kill
her Now she's gained confidence and trust with
us.

Last night was another big breakthrough (in my
eyes). She barked! Big deal, she barked just
once when she heard the front door. Great!

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

Works for me.

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

Aloha Jerry,

Just wanted to let you know that the surrogate toy
technique is working wonders. I have not had a
shredded sheet for over a week now. It is nice
to be able to leave the bed made and come home
to a made bed.

Your program is awesome, but you already know

Review the Hot & Cold Exercise and the Family
Leadership Exercise and the come command.
That'll give you absolute control.


That's good. Ask her to heel when you're walkin
her. Do the heeling pattern exercise when she
breaks to get involved with the other dogs.


That's O.K. Work on the heel till you can pass
them withHOWET her breaking heel.


Right. That's probably from bribing her to sit
before you started my method. The request
to sit increases anxiety if they've been bribed
to sit. It'll work when there's no other excitement.
That's the PROBLEM with treat or click treat or
any PHYSICAL REWARD methods.


Good. Handle the lead pupperly and reverse
and instantly praise when she breaks the heel.
When she fails to reverse, ask her to come,
that's the default in part 2 of the manual under
Four Step Heeling Pattern Exercise. (Work on
that till you're proficient).

We'd ONLY want to do that after the above fails.
You'd make the sound soon as she alerts on the
other dogs and continue working the heel command.


As long as you're not using the sound as an aversive
and instantly following it with praise and NEVER pullin
on the lead, you can't mess her up.

With the way she lunges you've got PLENTY of time
to effect a sound distraction.... but you gotta still be
workin the heel. Try to rely on the heel command to
get her through passin other dogs or greeting them.

If you got to use sound in front of other dogs they
got to be praised as well.

Seek HOWET some distractions soon as you've reviewed the basics.

LikeWIZE. It's a PERFECT method but it's
unf****ving of mistakes. But at worst it can't
make the dogs aggressive or shy so long
as you're praising pupperly.


INDEED. That's likey to be the first mistake
we make that triggers the dog to pull or bolt.


Yeah. That's the other reason it's so crucial to
handle the lead EXACTLY as instructed.


Ain't it! We can NEVER have a bad day workin
with HOWER dogs cause even if they're not
cooperating we just follow the technique and
they got not choice but to be happy in their work.


As you work with her she'll calm down and eat less.

It's such a pleasure havin NEVER to scold or
punish or bribe my dogs.


My pleasure entirely. Spread the good news.


Yours, Jerry.

Subject: House training and such...
Date: 2003-10-08 16:18:56 PST

I've been having a problem with my dog, Axel,
relieving himself in the house while I'm away
from home.

I've used TPW method's, and yesterday I was out
for 12 hours, and Axel didn't have one single "accident".

Today, I had hoped that the results would be just as
good - and they were (I was out for 11 hours).

The problem began when, as a puppy, Axel would
relieve himself in the house and I would point at the
mess and tell him "NO" or "Bad Dog".

That made him afraid to relieve himself in the house
or infront of me.

After I got TPW's training manual, I corrected my
mishandling of these instances.

When I came home to an "accident", I would simply
drop a can near the area and ask Axel "What's that?"
Then I would clean it up - with out showing him I was
the least bit upset about the mess, and when he looked
at the spot I would tell him "Good boy, you're a good dog".

This has been an ongoing problem, and thanks to the
Puppy Wizard, we've finally got it taken care of...

Also, Axel LOVES the cat's litter box...He enjoys the
"snacks" he can find in there...I followed TPW's methods
by alternating sounds and praising him while or before
he sticks his nose in it, and today, he's been going into
the room with the cat box and barking. That's because
he's thinking about getting into the box, but he knows he
shouldn't.

Thank you, Jerry, for all you help. You've been a
blessing to all of us.

===================

Here's Aimee's original post and her first post to
The Puppy Wizard:

I own a black an tan coonhound. We got him as a puppy, and
due to constant mishandling (pulling on his lead, negative
corrections, and the occasional use of a bark collar) I ended
up with a very anxious dog.

I couldn't leave him home alone, I couldn't crate him, I couldn't
even take my dog for walks because he feared EVERYTHING.

I was going to have to get rid of him if things didn't turn
around.

My husband and I searched the internet for answers - AND
WE FOUND THE PUPPY WIZARD.

For all of you disbeliveers out there HIS METHODS WORK!

I've followed his manual, and we now have a dog that can be
left home alone, that heels on command, that can go outside
and NOT be afraid of everything he sees.

Not only have his methods help our dog, but our marriage
has gotten better. We had fallen into a rut - constant bickering
and tension, we never laughed or had FUN together - but now, with
the same mindset used in THE PUPPY WIZARDS dog training, our
communications channels have opened, and we
now work together instead of against one another.

For all the "Literalists" out there, NO WE DID NOT
TEACH EACH OTHER TO SIT, STAY, OR HEEL.

We simply eliminated the nagging and the acting out
to get NEGATIVE attention from one another since we
weren't getting the POSITIVE attention we wanted.

So, it's been proven - THE PUPPY WIZARDS METHODS
WORK. It's up to you to accept them. Yes, there's alot of
blame that we have to accept, but once we realize that we've
caused these problems to arise, we can strive to make things
better.

Hey J,

I see nothings changed on the NG. Still the same
old crappy advice and misunderstanding of the
only advice worth reading.

The problem with your method J is that I can't
answer the questions on the NG no more, people
are after a quick fix, they don't want to understand
that dog training requires a disiplined method, I'm
now really understanding that they are all result
orientated, they want the dog to sit, to down, to
stay, to come, to stop it's "bad" behaviours, they
want to stamp out each anxiety one at a time not
realising they create a new one as they deal with
the last.

I feel sorry for them, they don't understand, they
don't even realise the errors of thier ways and
they arn't self thinkers, they follow the majority,
after all if everyone says thats the way then it
must be. I've finally realised people don't want
to learn to train dogs they want a trained dog,
they want a little puppet that sits and stays and
downs and does all the nice doggy stuff or so
they think, then when the dog acts like a dog
they come squealing to the NG asking how to
stop the dog being a dog.

I have a nice little visulisation of a dogs mind
that I think demonstrates the way we approach
dog training. Imagine lots of little circles all in a
cluster, each one representing a dog anxiety or
behaviour ( desied or not), each circle represents
something about the dog, all of them create what
a dog is.

The traditional way to train a dog is to stamp out
the "bad" circles, try to eliminate as many as you
can, problem is each one you stamp out another
takes it's place (anxiety circles can't be destroyed
they just change), obviously it's a futile exercise,
but thats the traditional way.

Now imagine a big circle that completely surrounds
all the small circles, this big circle is the whole dog,
that's what we get hold of with all the little circles
inside, we don't see the little circles we see the BIG
circle the macro as you put it and use that to train.

I laugh now when I see posts critisising you, they
are critising something they don't even understand
or even have the capacity to understand.

See ya,

Dear Jerry,

I hope you'll be able to post this message so
more people who are at their wit's end will be
able to help their dogs.

To review:

Our puppy was uncomfortable during thunder
storms. At the beginning of the problem, she
paced restlessly from room to room. She
couldn't settle and sleep.

From there the problem grew. She would run
to the far southeast corner of the house (which
makes sense because most storms here come
from the northwest) and she'd cower in the
corner of the couch and shake.

1st attempt to help her:

I'd pick her up, brush and massage her (call
me a nut - I've sung to her when I've done
her daily brushing since she was tiny so of
course I sang too) and when she relaxed,
I'd put her in her crate. She then slept and I
thought the problem was solved.

Traumatic event:

We were out in the park playing with one of her
doggy friends when it began to rain. On the way
home, there was the loudest, longest, thunder
clap I've ever heard.

From that day on, the problem got worse and worse.
I couldn't calm her with singing and massage. The
fear spread. She wouldn't go out if it was raining.
No thunder, just gently summer rain, and she
wouldn't go out.

The solution:

I surfed the net and came across a free manual Wit's
End Dog Training Method and a product called Doggy
Do Right that seemed better than anything else I came
across.

A phone call to Jerry Howe, author of the manual and
Director of Research, Biosound Scientific, convince
me to try both the manual and the product.

Problem solved:

I followed Jerry's suggestions (more phone calls - he
is most generous with his time and advice). The first
two thunder storms my puppy was restless but not
running around in a blind panic.

The third storm, she barked her deep, stranger
danger bark after each clap of thunder.

The fourth storm, she seemed uneasy at first. Soon
she was asleep at my feet and she napped through
the rest of the storm.

A miracle.

I am endlessly grateful to Jerry
for his manual and his machine.

A word about Doggy Do Right. It is odd to buy
a machine that emits a sound I cannot hear.

I took the chance because Jerry offered a full
refund including shipping. Though I heard
nothing, my puppy clearly did.

When I first turned on the machine, she got
the cutest, most quizzical look on her face.

She looked at me as if to say: "What's that?

I never heard that before." She looks at the
machine when it is on. She rests on the floor
beneath it.

It is obvious from her behavior that she is
aware of its cycles.

Amazing.

Thank you Jerry.

Well, let me tell you, your Wits' End
Dog Training Method works.

My dog, Dasie, Loves to chase chameleons
around the barbecue on the patio. I
used this system on four different occasions.

When she went out today, she looked
everywhere else but the barbecue.
Amazing, just amazing.

I will write to Amanda about the video.

I am really excited to learn more, and
understand. Maybe just a little reassurance
that I am going about it the right way.

Thanks again
