HOWEDY Callac,
You mean ESCAPED MENTAL PATIENTS LIARS DOG ABUSERS and SADISTS. Don't you, Callac. Welcome to the BIZZARO WORLD of dog lovers where HURTING and MURDERING DOGS is LOVE LEADERSHIP and GUIDANCE and being NICE to dogs is CRUEL BEYOND BELIEF. Well, she ain't likely to remain SWEET if you lock IT in a box to control behaviors you don't have the intellect to HOWEtwit even after The Amazing Puppy Wizard's FREE WWW Wits' End Dog Training Method Manual Students all over the Whole Wild World told you HOWE they done it EZ GENTLY NEARLY INSTANTLY and for FREE withHOWET HURTIN noWON E***CEPT HOWER DOG LOVERS who HURT and MURDER dogs cause it makes them FEEL P-HOWERFUL and IN CONTROL. There AIN'T no such thing. HOWER DOG LOVERS lock dogs in boxes cause they don't know HOWE to TRAIN them. INDEEDY. Most folks would PAY to have that. Lockin your dog in a box will FLIP HER HOWET. You ain't gonna get no goddamned heelp from HOWER MENTAL PATIENTS. Have you KILLFILED The Amazing Puppy Wizard? Aldous Huxley had sent Dr. Osmond a rhyme with his own word choice: "To make this trivial world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme." (Thymos means soul in Greek.) Rejecting that, Dr. Osmond replied: "To fathom Hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic." -- INTRO TO WITS' END DOG TRAINING MANUAL George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D. F.R.S.H. Several years ago one of my old students telephoned to me and asked me what I knew about Doggie Do Right, a device to cause your neighbor's dog to stop barking. I had not heard of the device, nor its inventor, Jerry Howe, but I telephoned, read his website, and told my graduate that I thought the device was worth a trial - indeed I shut up the dogs in my neighborhood by turning on Jerry's supersonic device. After all we all know that dogs respond to whistles humans cannot hear, so why not respond to "attaboy" sounds which humans cannot hear. My student lived far from my Florida homestead, so he tried it on the three incredibly savage, hyperactive and noisy dogs who lived behind a tall fence just 3 feet back of his bedroom. Hot rats! The device worked, Andy got his sleep and I didn't think much of the matter again. A few months ago I had new neighbors on each side of my house, four of them, all with noisy unshuttupable dogs. Argh! So I foned Andrew in Virgina, received the intelligence that his neighbors dogs were still quiet, and then I foned Jerry Howe, the inventor of Doggie Do Right, who came to visit me. Merlin walked into my office. Jerry is a slender fellow with a belly button lenghth grey beard tapering down his chest. I liked him immediately, and I applied his instrument to the neighborhood again which again became silent. It occured to me that if this ultrasonic field worked with dogs that we ought at least to ask the question, what happens to humans in range of the device??? I asked Jerry to give me a list of customers and began inquiring among them. One thing became immediately evident. The Doggie Do Right not only shuts up your neighbors' dogs, it calms and modifies your husband's behavior. Holey Moley, Captain Marvel, this device has major potential. In the meantime Jerry gave me a copy of his Wits End Dog Training Manual. I was delighted. He also introduced me to the world of professional dog trainers some of whom even have Ph.D.s in psychology. This was not such a delight as it appeared that none of these luminaries had actually read Skinner, Lazarus or other fountains of wisdom in psychology. Indeed, it seemed as though they knew very little about the laws of behavior at all! Punishment and confrontation seemed to be their major stock in trade. Well, if you go to my website, http://www.drbiofeedback.com you can read of the career of Sam Corson, I.P. Pavlov's last student. Sam demonstrated that rehabilitation of hyperactive dogs can easily and readily be done using TLC, tender loving care is at the root of the scientific management of doggies. Pavlov told us so 100 years ago. So what are these degreed morons doing punishing dogs, and shouting "NO" into their doggie faces? If you pick up B.F.Skinner's last book, ***ULATIVE RECORD, included in it is an essay by Keller Breland and Maryann Breland entitled THE MISBEHAVIOR OF ORGANISMS. Skinner deliberately included his students' chapter to emphasize that you cannot manage the behavior of animals unless you take into consideration 1. the animal's evolutionary niche (who is the animal?); 2. the animal's personal history (who is the animal?) and 3, the instinctive repetoire of the animal (who is the animal?) and 4. the personality of the animal (who is the animal?). The Brelands moved far from the white rat. "Thirty-eight species, totaling over 6,000 individual animals, have been conditioned, and we have dared to tackle such unlikely subjects as reindeer, ****atoos, raccoons, porpoises, and whales. " Jerry Howe spends most of his times with dogs, but he has learned Pavlov's lesson well. Dogs are individuals, they are individual DOGS, and they respond most directly and immediately to love and tender loving care. Read with pleasure, and then go love your dog.

Andrew, Jerry Howe is here as I type and we have decided to create a human mellowing branch and to sell the marvel mystery device. Here is my first draft. What do you think? George Friends and colleagues: A couple of years ago I became interested in Doggy Do Right (DDR) a sonic device which inhibits barking in your neighbors' yappy dogs. I tested the instrument and became pleased at the silence in our neighborhood. I perused the manual for the DDR which has significant guidance for loving your own dog so that the wee beast no longer leaps up on you, howls, whines, tears up your shoes, escapes, digs holes, spins around, throws up in the car, eats paper, self-mutilates, fears thunder, suffers when you go to the store and don't take him, and all the other ills and behavior problems to which the domesticated dog is prone. Jerry Howe, the inventor of the DDR, understands doggy behavior so well he might well have been a student of Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student who fixed hyperactive dogs, and started our profession, as well as the profession of "Pet Facilitated Therapy"). It occured to me that we might put ourselves out of work. If a sonic device can mellow hyperactive dogs, why wouldn't it do so for hyperactive kids and neurotic adults? So, I am inviting a few friends and colleagues to join me in forming a company, which will lease BABY BE GOOD; HAPPY BOY; SWEET LITTLE GIRL; MAMA BE MELLOW; PAPA BE STRONG - these are just first pass names for the device in its several adjustments. Jerry Howe, genius inventor says you have to refine the adjustment for . More than a thousand owners agree that DOGGY DO RIGHT happifies the dogs next door so they don't bark.

Have you taught her the "NO!" command?: professor of ****-ytic behaviorISM research at UofWI, marshall SCRUFF SHAKE 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." The Puppy Wizard can't. The Puppy Wizard will only accept 100% SUCCESS. NEARLY INSTANTLY.

Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2002 11:33:36 -0500 Message-ID: uim43blqq1h67d@corp.supernews.com 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.)

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. !st 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. ============= Thank you, Jerry Howe, Director of Research, BIOSOUND Scientific Director of Training, Wits' End Dog Training 1611 24th St Orlando, FL 32805 Phone: 1-407-425-5092 http://www.doggydoright.com |
