Hello ken, You don’t have to look any further than right here to find animal abuse. Just find a koehler trainer to find a bona fide DOG ABUSER… In order to use the koehler method it is PREREQUISITE that you as a handler are PREPARED to HANG the dog "till his eyes roll back in his head, his tongue turns thick and blue and falls out the side of his mouth, and when you put him back on the ground he should stagger to his feet and PUKE, or else you DIDN’T HANG HIM CORRECTLY, for objecting to being jerked and choked till the dog can’t take it any more… Otherwise, you are going to have to KILL the dog because you were not severe enough and not following the instructions is the CRUELEST thing you can do, according to the MONSTER koehler… It’s in the BIBLE by koehler you and the Gang Of Thugs are using to torment and dominate dogs… Have you seen the following? You have, and you have no problem for THAT, IT’S NOT ABUSE, it’s ACCEPTED training methodology, isn’t it, KEN? Well ken, I got NEWS for YOU. It IS ABUSE, and we are not going to tolerate people like YOU and the Gang Of Thugs of R.P.D.B. TEACHING people to choke, jerk, shock, twist and pinch ears, toes, and testicles, and HANG dogs to REHABILITATE THEM and BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS, to make them retrieve… I’m blowing everyone’s cover BIG TIME, and you and your vicious pals ARE GOING NUTS trying to lie and cover up the truth so you will not be seen as the vicious dog abusers you are… Here’s PROOF. > You’re right.  I never noticed before that you inserted the > word "slap" into the article, inside supposedly quoted > material, without indicating that it was your addition. > You are even sleazier than I thought.

Me? I don’t HURT DOGS and LIE. YOU do. You ABUSE DOGS. And you LIE. Here’s PROOF. > I would never advise anyone to slap a dog.

Hello shelly, Sounds to ME like your interest in abuse is a red herring to distract people from the REAL issues of HURTING dogs to train them… We don’t need to worry about the abusers the LAW is eager to take care of, we need to BUST the ABUSERS who are ABOVE the LAW, our dog trainers who TEACH HURTING DOGS to train them… You know all about it, and YOU IGNORE it, because YOU APPROVE… I think you should re examine YOUR value judgements and LOOK at YOURSELF and our Gang Of Thugs here on R.P.D.B, who jerk, choke, shock, hang, and pinch and twist dogs body parts, BEFORE pointing the finger at DOG ABUSERS elsewhere.

I don’t CHOKE, JERK, SHOCK, HANG, OR BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS. You approve of that, and THAT’S WHY you and your vicious pals here on R.P.D.B. are all sticking together and LYING and swearing to it, TO DEFEND DOG ABUSE… > ANY QUESTIONS? > Yea, could you get lost?

SORRY, PAL. I’m going to make sure that people RECOGNIZE THE TRUE DOG ABUSERS… Punks like YOU criticize OTHERS to take the attention off of the ABUSE THAT YOU CONDONE. As a Koehler trainer, being willing to HANG DOGS is PREREQUISITE, like it says in the book: till their eyes roll back in their head, their tongue turns thick and blue and falls out the side of his mouth, and when you let him back on the ground he should stagger to his feet and PUKE, like it says in the BIBLE by Koehler…  or else you didn’t do it CORRECTLY… > (ken)

Hello peewee, You sound like the guy who traveled the world looking for diamonds, and returned home destitute, to find gold in his own back yard… You seem to have no problem for "trainers" like cindy moore teaching people to jerk, choke, shock, and twist and pinch dogs body parts and you don’t even mention ANYTHING when our heavy handed experts like amy dahy BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS OR hang DOGS LIKE SOME OR OUR GANG OF THUGS TEACH… What gives? You want to stop dog abuse? LOOK RIGHT HERE on R.P.D.B. for our ACCEPTED brutality… Ignore the LIES. To do OTHERWISE would PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, wouldn’t it? Either you approve of HURTING DOGS, or you don’t… Make a stand here.  Let the authorities deal with the CRIMINALS WHO ARE NOT PROTECTED from the law BY CALLING THEMSELVES DOG TRAINERS.

Hi Crazy Jerry! Hello ken, You’ve got a COLLOSSAL NERVE calling ME crazy. I don’t choke, jerk, shock, pinch or twist dog’s body parts or HANG DOGS to rehabilitate them… THAT’S CRAZY.

:   : This story is about a worker who’s dog was killed as a result of his : work in the fight against animal abusers. You shouldn’t be using this : tragic incident to be promoting your "little black box." What, kinda like you shouldn’t be using people’s pets’ deaths to flame them with, Ken? Also, I have a hard time not choking whne I see a line like that coming from some one who loves to use tragic incidents to get on little black boxes and I seriosly doubt he even really cares about these little charades he goes on rather than he just likes to stir people up and watch the flames fly. I mean, that line coming from *you* of all people is almost amusing it’s so hypocritical.

I’ve been on this list for less that a week now, and I have never claimed to be anything but a dog-lover, particularly my dog.   And you attack me for showing human kindness and compassion for someone’s loss.   This is an attack close to home, in my own homestate so the laws & things that go one DO affect me.  I’m fully aware that the law will no doubt be involved in this, but where, may I ask is the harm in showing another person that you care and feel terrible about what happened?   Answer me this.   I want to know how I "ignore" and "approve" of it?  Because I don’t pick a fight with just about everyone on this list?  I’m sorry, but I don’t think so.

Response:

Well, no. Jerry’s beef is with everybody. Amy just happens to be this week’s blue plate special. He goes off at anyone who doesn’t agree with him, is successful at what he claims to do, questions his credentials, asks for verification of any part of what he claims – in short, he’s a fruitcake. He’s also very good at telling people how to commit suicide. One would think he’d had some practice at that, except he is still here. Unfortunately. Actually, about two months ago, Amy did order one of his magic black boxes for testing purposes. She still hasn’t gotten it. His only bona fide paying customer, and this is how he treats her. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >From ‘Jerry Howe’: >Hello Jerry, >You’ll forgive me for not knowing who you are, I’m sure, since >I hang out in rec.pets.dogs.rescue, and not .behavior, but I must point >out that you’re going off on other people when it seems your real beef is >with Amy Dahl, which seems rather foolish.

I don’t know anything about hurting dogs, but I know that Jerry Howe makes claims for his "Doggy Do Right" that cannot possibly be true, as they violate the laws of physics as applied to the attentuation of high-frequency sound over distance.

Response:

Jerry– I appreciate the apology, although it wasn’t necessary in public forum, with all of the other comments attached. I’m not fully aware of the entire situation, but like a level-headed, attempting to be well-informed person & dog-lover, I DO try to see all sides of any situation before passing any judgements. I simply come here for information on topics I am curious about.  I AM informed, educated and caring enough to know what methods of training work for me and my pup, and which do not, and which I would never try. Thank you, Shelly & Coda *Mr. Naughtypants*

Hello karibear, MY methods of protection training had never been discussed here, before you and your vicious pals, the Gang Of Thugs started on the bandwagon about the temp and diarrhea visceral reaction as a physiological response to MY protection training. You see karibear, I do not jerk, choke, shock, hit, or twist dog’s ears, toes, or testicles, and because I do not use fear, force, confrontation, punishment, or corrections of ANY KIND. Because my dogs are conditioned to a very gentle lifestyle, and are USED TO being dealt with in a CALM, QUIET, GENTLE, KINDLY, and CONFIDENT manner, that when an aggressor makes an assault on the dog’s handler, OUR dogs respond out of RAGE that anyone should THREATEN their kind, considerate, gentle, TRAINER, and make HIM AFRAID, and that’s WHY our dogs WILL on occasion have the same kind of visceral reaction to that as our Gang Of Thugs has had since I’ve exposed them as the dog abusers they are. Your pals haven’t mentioned it since I told them it was a PSYCHOLOGICAL stress reaction to sudden change in the lifestyle of the dog…  My students dogs are not used to anyone behaving INAPPROPRIATELY, that’s what all their prior training has been about. When suddenly our handler is threatened with violence, it is overwhelming to our dogs that such a heretofore safe, stable, quiet, environment has suddenly turned into mayhem. That’s NORMAL. That’s not abuse. We don’t threaten the dog. WE THREATEN his owner, and the dog does what he has been programmed by Nature to do… PROTECT HIS BEST FRIEND. You seem to have a problem with ME, because I do not teach people to HURT dogs to train them… OUR experts HERE twist dog’s body parts, and  BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS JUST to make them retrieve. But let’s just say that I did condone hurting dogs to train them. IF I DID condone hitting, pinching and twisting ears, flanking, and hurting, dogs, and BEATING THEM WITH STICKS, THEN I would be doing exactly as everyone else who trains for schutzhund or ring sport… as it says in their rules books… I don’t do those things because they are INAPPROPRIATE methods of "training." And I speak out against them AS A PROFESSIONAL TRAINER who DOES train protection dogs, but not with PAIN… NOW, let’s just say that I were guilty of HURTING dogs to train them. That would make ME just like YOUR PALS, wouldn’t it? IF I were just like YOUR PALS, I wouldn’t be giving them diarrhea and spiking their temperatures, as I OBVIOUSLY HAVE done to them over here on R.P.D.B. But let’s just say for the moment that I’m as vicious as YOUR PALS who jerk and choke shelter dogs because they don’t have the TIME to properly handle and train all the dogs who need to be choked and jerked by them before getting placed… WOULD THAT EXONERATE THEM??? Not even YOUR SICK MIND can construe that IF I HURT DOGS, that MY ALLEGED ABUSE JUSTIFIES OTHERS ABUSING and HURTING DOGS in what I consider to be CRIMINALLY INSANE BEHAVIOR… You are DEFENDING your pals, the R.P.D.B. Gang Of Thugs who jerk, choke, shock, and hit dogs, twist and pinch their body parts "THERAPEUTICALLY" (as Amy Dahl admitted)  and HANG DOGS to "REHABILITATE" THEM (as others HERE admit). Defend them IF YOU CAN, from a TRAINING PERSPECTIVE. DEFEND THEIR ACTIONS based on LOGIC and reasonable PRINCIPLES of TRAINING and CRITERIA for accomplishing a necessary task, NOT BECAUSE I OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES "WORSE." Thanks for helping to make this eminently clear. Here’s something you’ll really enjoy: You and your pals, our Gang Of Thugs are vicious and sadistic dog abusers, hypocrites, who are trying to evade responsibility for some rather serious charges of dog abuse that I have leveled against them and have EXPOSED them with THEIR OWN WORDS… I’ve BLOWN THE WHISTLE on your pals, and it’s KILLING THEM, and YOU. Tough break, huh? Now, it’s time for cindy moore, amy dahl, doc dermer, and the rest of the Gang Of Thugs to SQUEAL as their charges do when THEY GET THEIR EARS PINCHED and are mercilessly SHOCKED and BEATEN WITH STICKS, and that’s JUST to teach them to retrieve…

Hello Steve, Nice to meet you.

> Hello Jerry, > You’ll forgive me for not knowing who you are, I’m sure, since > I hang out in rec.pets.dogs.rescue, and not .behavior,

That was by design, not coincidence. I was not prepared to address my issuses regarding training and handling dogs with KINDNESS and RESPECT, in the R.P.D.R. until I got the genie back in the bottle, so to speak, and educated the good folks on R.P.D.B. first, AND to EXPOSE their LIES defending themselves, in response to what I say. Everyone is aware of the facts over at rpdb… The LIARS have all been exposed. Their abuses of dogs is KNOWN and the facts have been established. Now I’m here in R.P.D.R. HOWE do you do? > but I must point out that you’re going off on other people when > it seems your real beef is with Amy Dahl,

No, no, no…tsk, tsk, tsk. Don’t be so narrow minded. I present and equal opportunity to expose all of our dog abusers in R.P.D.B. and I expect to rattle a few cages over here now that I’ve been properly introduced. > which seems rather foolish.

Better be careful who you are calling foolish… I’ve been in dog training for three dozen years specializing in behavior problems and protection, and I don’t hurt dogs to train them. MANY of the others do. WHO’S FOOLISH? > Especially since you’re appending Amy Dahl’s words to each > followup you made to *other* people’s posts.

The original text is on the links provided. I think that it’s time YOU start to FACE FACTS. I didn’t PUT THOSE WORDS to print, those are HER OWN WORDS. And it’s NOT just amy dahl. Cindy Moore, of our illustrious FAQ’s pages HURTS DOGS, and teaches abuse on her FAQ’s page. She teaches kneeing dogs, poping them on the snout, throwing them to the ground by the ears, and filling holes they’ve dug with water, and holding the dog’s head under to break them of digging holes. AND, let’s NOT OVERLOOK jerking, choking, shocking and twisting and pinching dog’s body parts to ENHANCE THE BOND BETWEEN TRAINER AND DOG. Does THAT sound like APPROPRIATE handling and training INFORMATION? I think not, and I can prove it, IF YOU AREN’T QUITE CLEAR YET. > Perhaps I’m missing something.

Perhaps you did, perhaps not… we’ll see. People who defend dog abusers are almost as guilty as the abusers themselves, WOULDN’T YOU AGREE, STEVE? Maybe you’d like to tell me HOWE YOU can justify pinching ears, shocking dogs, and BEATING THEM WITH STICKS to teach them to retrieve, the MOST NATURAL THING IN THE WORLD, for a Retriever??? Do ALL RESCUE FOLKS APPROVE of HURTING DOGS to  TRAIN THEM? I hardly think so, but we don’t seem to have anyone HERE speaking out against HURTING DOGS…, we’ve got good folks like YOU, STEVE, DEFENDING DOG ABUSERS… WHAT GIVES??? That’s NOT HOWE it should be, is it, STEVE? Perhaps you are simply not aware of the real issues… I’ll be working with this group quite a bit over the coming months. I’m NOT going to slink away as you’ll be seeing some of our Gang Of Thugs run for cover. They’ll be finding someplace they can espouse HURTING DOGS to train them WITHOUT SCRUTINY, and WITHOUT ME calling people’s attention to their ATROCIOUS, CRIMINALLY INSANE BEHAVIOR… disguised as dog training. Here’s a project for you, steve… Take lyingfrostydahly’s own text, and turn it any which way you know HOWE, and construe it to be something APPROPRIATE.  IF YOU CAN, I’ll apologize to one and all and go quietly on my way into retirement… Until then, don’t DEFEND DOG ABUSE and talk rescue at the same time, it’s HYPOCRITICAL and does not further your cause, does it? My next post will be discussing the ramifications of fear, force, confrontation, and repression of natural, innate, instinctive, behaviors, and it’s effects on TEMPERAMENT and the surrender of dogs to shelters, because of the INAPPROPRIATE training methods taught on rpdb and accepted here on rpdr.

You don’t know anything of the sort, do you, john? You have never seen Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO) http://www.doggydoright.com , have you? Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO) CURES dog behavior problems like hyperactivity, barking, chewing, digging, car sickness, fear of thunder, gun shyness, aggression, fence running, any obsessive/compulsive behaviors, and reduces spraying and fighting in cats. > as they violate the laws of physics as applied to the > attentuation of high-frequency sound over distance.

Says WHO? Someone who HURTS DOGS to train them because they aren’t bright enough to outwit a puppy dog? Someone who is ignorant and vicious enough to HURT DOGS to train them? Someone who is a PROVEN LIAR? Did YOU do any testing on Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO)? No, you’ve never heard ANYTHING except what the people I’ve EXPOSED AS DOG ABUSERS AND LIARS have to say about it… > Most people would call that *lying*.

Are YOU calling ME a LIAR? Are YOU making FALSE, MALICIOUS, DEROGATORY STATEMENTS about Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO) in an ATTEMPT to DEFEND DOG ABUSERS? THAT’S not NICE. And, that’s not true, either. Unless you want to bet the farm and risk losing it in court, I’d strongly suggest you refrain from maliciously attacking Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO).  The BIOSOUND Scientific Elves are NOT playing games. Attack ME about my training methods. Go ahead. I dare you. Criticize my work, it’s all in writing in the Wits’ End Dog Training Method manual available for FREE at http://www.doggydoright.com Choke me with my own words, but if you think the Elves will stand idly by while you say such intentional lies, YOU GOT ANOTHER THINK COMING… I’ve got no time for such foolishness, but I just might like to pick up a bit of property in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD… Keep that in mind when you attack Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO) and don’t call ME a liar… unless you can prove it in court. You may have to.

Well, of course this wasn’t discussed before. Nobody knew about it, not until you claimed that you did it. This is supposed to be a discussion group, though, and you can certainly expect a discussion of something obviously cruel and inhumane. And add to that your own comments some time back about not even liking dogs. It doesn’t matter what kind of response or reaction it is. Deliberately causing extremely high temperatures and diarrhea in a dog and claiming that it is a response to your unique training method is still animal cruelty. We’d worry a lot more if we thought you really had a dog, or had ever even trained a dog. Just take your meds, and everything will be all right.

That shouldn’t come as a surprise. EVERYTHIING I teach comes as a SURPRISE to you CRETINS who HURT dogs to train them… > This is supposed to be a discussion group, though, and you > can certainly expect a discussion of something obviously cruel > and inhumane.

Cruel and inhumane? I DON’T BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS, as YOUR PAL Amy Dahl does. I DON’T TWIST AND PINCH DOG’S BODY PARTS to train them to Retrieve, the EASIEST, MOST NATURAL, job for a dog to do. YOUR PALS DO THAT. Ask cindy moore what a dog sounds like when she’s pinching and twisting his ears.  I don’t FLANK dogs (grab the loose skin in front of the rear leg to rib cage) in protection training, and I don’t SWITCH (strike with a cane) DOGS as REQUIRED IN SCHUTZHUND… Don’t accuse ME of being CRUEL and INHUMANE because I train my dogs with such a gentle approach, that craziness like an assault on the dog’s owner triggers an extreme visceral response… Don’t try to turn it into something it’s NOT. The elevated temp and loose stools ARE NORMAL REACTONS and the effects are temporary. YOU are LYING to PROTECT YOUR VICIOUS PALS HERE, by making people THINK THAT I ABUSE DOGS… EVEN IF I DO HURT DOGS, that does NOT EXONERATE YOUR PALS, cindy moore and amy dahl and the rest of the koehler Gang Of Thugs WHO ARE PREPARED TO HANG DOGS to "REHABILITATE" THEM… > And add to that your own comments some time back about not > even liking dogs.

IDIOT. That was a sarcastic post to your pal lyingdogdirty who HANGS DOGS by the HUNDREDS as does his wife when NECESSARY… > It doesn’t matter what kind of response or reaction it is. > Deliberately causing extremely high temperatures and > diarrhea in a dog and claiming that it is a response to your > unique training method is still animal cruelty.

You don’t LIKE it that I have EXPOSED ALL YOUR PALS, the Gang Of Thugs who JERK, CHOKE, SHOCK, PINCH AND TWIST DOG’S BODY PARTS, HANG DOGS TO "REHABILITATE" THEM, AND BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS to make them retrieve… the most natural thing in the world for a Retriever dog…  It’s GAMETIME. The gig is up. You and your pals might as well admit the truth and remedy the situation, or face constant ridicule and contempt from EVERYBODY here, because that crap has got to cease… We don’t NEED to HURT DOGS to train them… If our Gang Of Thugs is not smart enough to outwit a puppy dog and has to resort to HURTING DOGS to train them, I suggest they get out of this business, or be prepared to DEFEND themselves against charges of CRIMINALLY INSANE BEHAVIOR. Here’s one of YOUR PALS LYING again:
