Nope, never heard of it. Sounds like doubletalk. My methods cure all dog behavior problems without bustin our skulls trying to reinvent the wheel.. Enlighten me, I’m a quick study… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text —— Original Message —– I just had a nice talk with the man who invented the "doggiedoright" device; he told me that if you tell him that I sent you he’ll knock $25 off the $99.95 price. If you know someone working at a shelter etc who wants to quieten the dogs in the neighborhood then this is an ideal present for them – and he will sell it at a discount.  He sounds like someone we all know who has no sense at all about money.  Nice, nice man. four locations at which the thing has worked, so I recommend it. Yap yap yap no more!  I have zero financial interest in this. George Nevyn writes: Jerry I cannot even begin to tell you the success Ive had with your training manual! My two mutts have gone from out-of-control psychos to obedient well behaved companions within a matter of weeks! AND My friends have seen the success and have asked me to work on their dogs! I was working with a 5 month old Ridgeback female today and she was being an angel after like an hour of working with her! it is AMAZING!! I pity those fools who take their dogs to classes where the "Trainers" abuse their dogs! (do they have a degree? A masters? a Phd? by the way? NO they are average joes off the street who think they know how to train dogs!) Once again, Jerry, you are a genius!

Re: Barking Deterrants Needed… Hi. Please understand that I do not know Jerry and have spoken with him briefly once by email. I have no stake or interest in the success of his business. I simply want to thank him publicly for one of his tips, with regards to separation anxiety. I thought it seemed far fetched to praise a stuffed animal and then say good bye to my own dog, but I am usually a very open minded person, so I tried it. Well, lo and behold- the damn trick worked! I think Jerry has some intriguing techniques, and personally I think everyone who constantly criticizes him is not understanding his logic. Thank you Jerry! Hi, Jerry. I’m not sure that I’m a 100% convert, or that I agree with (or even understand) 100% of what you say in this manual … BUT … we had "come" down pat in a few reps and you could have knocked me down when I tried the exercise with "drop" and, after a few reps in different spots Darwin practically *threw* the rubber ball at my feet on command. He’s still not perfect (just a pup, after all, and he’s stubborn enough to want to push and test me a little bit more). For what it’s worth, I can see (as no doubt you have) how your usenet manner is likely to rankle a few folks, but that woman who advocates ear pulling and beating with sticks deserves everything she gets. Even if that was the only method that would work, I’d live with my dog not fetching rather than do any of that. (Darwin fetches enthusiastically and instinctively, tho’). Best, ben Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 11:42 AM I just wanted to take a bit of time to tell you how much I appreciate your product and your training methods as well. When my little Chihuahua first arrived I was overwhelmed with her anxiety and her ability to just Bark endlessly. I received your product and at first I thought I was using it wrong, because my puppy just seemed to ignore it. But after a week or two, she began to calm down considerably as well as act more friendly towards people on the street. I can’t believe the difference I see in my little puppy. Your product is a life saver! Thanks again for everything. Sincerely, Regina Guerrero      Elaine McClung, President of Pet Rescue, Animal Commissioner      Brevard Co FL, writes:      Hi Jerry,

Are you familiar with foundation training?

Response:

Isn’t that the dog that you FINALLY taught to heel using my methods a couple months ago, Master Of Deception blankman??? Or is that the one you beat in the face with your shepherd’s crook? Know what? I lost the instruction for the knitted cover up for the pronged spiked pinch choke collar so you can train your dog on show grounds illegally. Did you ever get that bill paid at the vets for your doggy day care cause your dogs were out of control and you couldn’t trust them in your HOWES unless you was there to hurt them for being out of control? Now get the heel outta here. Jerry.
