Question:

Hello People, Jerry Howe _could_ post the proper link but what he really wants to do is sell you a $100 electronic training device. The free manual is the "bait & switch". If you want to avoid the sales pitch, here is a DIRECT link to the free training manual download page: http://www.doggydoright.com/free_training_manual.htm EdW http://Petloss.com

Response:

You’re wrong, ed. The free manual and UNLIMITED free personal assistance COSTS me sales of Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO). I don’t CARE about making money or sales. I don’t have to worry about it. What I DO have to worry about, is our Gang Of Thugs telling people to HURT their dogs, and calling THAT training… Why do YOU want to see people jerk and choke their dogs on pronged choke collars, and get their ears, toes, and testicles pinched and twisted, and fingers stuck down puppies throats to CHOKE them out of mouthing, and BEATING DOGS WITH STICKS to MOTIVATE them, and HANGING DOGS to REHABILITATE them? What’s YOUR motive for wanting people to hurt dogs to train them? j;~)

Not at all jer. If I was wrong, you would change the link to point to the correct page. As long is you say "free manual" & the link points to your $100 electronic training device, I am correct that it is a "bait & switch" setup. EdW http://Petloss.com

Response:

Bait and switch would be if I referred people to a non existent or substandard remedy with the INTENT of selling a more expensive product… That is CLEARLY NOT THE CASE. There is NO MENTION of Doggy Do Right (and KITTY WILL TOO) in the Wits’ End Dog Training Method manual… You got any complaints about the INFORMATION I present her, take it up with my ISP and have THEM tell me I’m doing something inappropriate. Don’t be making complaints here that you cannot back up with LAW or policy of my ISP. You are slandering and maligning me with intent to do my reputation and my business HARM. That is AGAINST the law. Jerry.

So what? > You got any complaints about the INFORMATION I present her, take it > up with my ISP and have THEM tell me I’m doing something > inappropriate.

Sorry jer. You are not about to tell me what to do. > Don’t be making complaints here that you cannot back up with LAW or > policy of my ISP. > You are slandering and maligning me with intent to do my reputation > and my business HARM. That is AGAINST the law. Jerry.

Grow up crybaby. I am not the one saying "free manual" & directing people to a sales pitch instead. YOU are. You do it deliberately. If telling the truth is a crime, you can have me arrested.

Hello People, There are some questions about dog behavior that confuse and befuddle the human mind, when trying to understand what is going through your dog’s head when he’s doing something— anything at all…, but primarily for this discussion, we’ll be thinking behavior problems, but not exclusively bad behaviors. You often hear trainers tell us that we are not able to know what the dog is thinking. Fine. I know what I know, when I observe a behavior, but in order to "prove" it, you’d only be satisfied with a signed document from the dog, certified by a notary. Fair enough. So, that’s why I have a magick bullet that attacks the problem from another angle. To me, it doesn’t matter what the dog is thinking or the behavior he is engaged in… Funny, don’t you think, that here I am telling you that I believe that I have the experience to determine in the majority of dog behavior problems exactly what the dog is thinking, but that it is irrelevant to Howe I solve the problem??? This would seem to go directly against all of the "experts" in the field, who are always hunting for the cause of behavior problems. They always need more in depth information to diagnose and solve a behavior problem. Any behaviorist that comes out to work in people’s homes spends a few hours just asking questions and trying to observe behaviors. I seldom care to know anything more than what their complaint is. Why this dichotomy? Simple. It does not matter in the majority of behavior problems, what the micro aspects of the behavior problems are. The soiling on the floor, the chewing of your woodwork, doors, or carpet, or the surprise left in the living room or child’s nursery, the jumping, digging, excessive barking, all have their probable explanations. But those explanations, whether you attribute a problem to temperament, or dominance, or jealousy, or vindictiveness, bad breeding, or boredom, does not address and treat the etiology of the behavior, or the root cause for such things that concern us so much. Now it would seem, that the behavior has to be looked into very closely, to determine the root cause, in order to extinguish the undesirable behavior… So, we begin on a wild goose chase, looking for probable causes of the behavior, and to what outcome? We become so focused on trying to dissect the problem, that we are overlooking the macro aspects of the problem. We punish the behavior, because we can’t see the forest for the trees. If the macro, or the state of our relationship with our dog, the  way in which we interact with him, is properly shaped, then the micro aspects of the behaviors he offers us, will naturally fit into our family structure. He aims to please, because life is better that way. Keep this in mind when addressing a behavior problem. In an effort to mimic the behavior of wolves and wild dogs, the Alpha theory was popularized by the dog training establishment and the university know-it-alls, to utilize nature’s example of proper wild wolf pack society. However, they forgot that life in the wild is vicious and does not include humans. Using the Alpha theory as a model for our desired interaction with our dog, isn’t it obvious that we are telling him to survive in our human family as a wild pack animal, rather than as a civilized, domestic pet? And aren’t we confusing him, by not ALWAYS following wild wolf pack rules? Every trainer here will stress consistency, especially me. We need to demonstrate leadership, but not by using the dominance techniques of an Alpha Wolf. Therefore, the Family Leadership Exercise in the Wits’ End Dog Training Method takes full advantage of the best qualities of the Alpha theory (leadership, pack cohesiveness, reward for cooperation, security), and tailors them to work in the civilized human family social structure. The difference being, that through the intelligent use of Natural Law, we can utilize the most forceful aspects of wild wolf pack behavior, but through analyzing and reformatting it, we can utilize those natural, innate, instinctive behaviors, and mold them to fit our civilized, human family structure, instead of teaching our dog to live ONLY to survive, as he would in a wild wolf pack. Survival of the fittest, always applies… This is extremely important to understand. The primary causes of aggression and behavior problems in dogs are due to stifling natural, innate, instinctive behaviors and setting up a confrontational relationship between family and dog. The use of fear, force, confrontation, and punishment of ANY kind, contradicts our desired goal of integrating the dog into our family. Instead, it teaches him to react instinctively as a wild wolf trying to survive, in a civilized human social structure. What can we do with his natural, innate, instinctive behaviors, so that he is acceptable and happy in our civilized human family society? Well, the first thing that we can do is not react out of a gut level response to some atrocity the dog is pulling out of his bag of tricks! We don’t want to focus our attention on the micro aspects of his behavior, or he will get pleasure and reinforcement, from knowing that he can command all of our attention, instead of us psychologically commanding his undivided attention and cooperation. Responding emotionally to the dog’s behavior, tells him that we are upset and creates a conflict in his mind, as to why nature tells him something is O.K., and why we are contradicting Mother Nature… The pup quickly learns to mistrust our leadership, especially one so weak as to punish puppyish antics that are normal. What we as human leaders need to do, is channel the drives behind the behavior into some activity that is acceptable to all of us. For instance, if the pup wets on the floor, it’s our leadership role to teach him without confrontation, the appropriate spot to relieve himself. Once he learns this, he won’t want to wet anywhere else. Punishment or negative attention to the problem only cause stress and anxiety that will inhibit the dog from learning what we need him to understand. The dog will work with us, and do anything we ask, if we know Howe to ask.
