Hello James,
I have used his recommended techniques and ideas with great
success, and over the period I've used these methods the more
I've become to understand and appreciate how his methods work
and how effective they can be if carried out correctly.
His manual isn't conventional and as such gets critisized and
misunderstood. The basic concept is to allow the dog to choose
whatever behaviour it wants for any situation but to distract
(and immediately praise ) it from behaviours we deem
undesirable, because of the correctly timed distractions
repeated usually about 4 times (in each location) the dog
decides of it own accord that this behaviour is undesriable
and therefore pursues something else, if that behaviour is
also inappropriate to us then we carry on distracting, very
soon the dog finds a behaviour that is mutually acceptable.
The benefits of this type of approach are numerous, Firstly we
aren't challenging the dog so there is no conflict so the dog
does't develop any possible negativity to us, the dog decides
of it own free will that a behaviour is unsatisfying so
chooses to cease it (in other words even if we are gone the
dog won't have any desire to pursue that behaviour i.e. bin
raiding etc).
I would recommend his manual.
Paul

From: Paul B (panders@zfree.co.nz) Subject: Re: Can pack
leader influence rank? Date: 2002-02-25 00:51:48 PST
I use sound to distract the dog and praise it immediately. The
reason for the immediate praise is that as soon as the dog is
distracted it's no longer thinking of the inappropriate
behaviour so the praise reinforces the "not doing" the
unwanted behaviour.
I use various sound sources, a soda can with stones in it, car
keys, Click my fingers, etc. Varying the direction of the
sound each time is important too, otherwise the dog may begin
to anticipate the sound and it will lose it's effect, if the
noise direction is random the dog won't get too familiar with
it and it will remain an effective distraction.
Remember too that we aren't trying to scare the bejesus outta
the dog, simply breaking it's train of thought while it's
thinking of the unwanted behaviour.
Sometimes you won't even see a reaction but the dog will have
been distracted fleetingly. (Recently one of my dogs started
habitually licking my feet while I was watching TV, I clicked
my fingers on her left side and told her "good girl" even
though she only paused her licking briefly, next I clicked
over her right side and praised, by about the 4th repeat she
suddenly stopped, I repeated this over a few nights and now
she doesn't lick any more, on the few occasions she absent
mindedly licks now all I do is click and praise and she
immediately stops).
Timing is important too, learn to anticipate when the dog is
thinking about doing the "dirty deed" and distract and praise
then, with any luck the dog will try again almost immediately
so distract and praise again, if the timing is correct after
about the 4th rep the dog will stop.
I could go on but this post is long enough already, remember
too that the dog isn't being a "bad dog", it's behaviour is
simply inappropriate for the circumstances.
Happy training, :-)

Right. That's HOWE COME we don't have disobedience or fighting

Right. That's HOWE COME the military doesn't permit
fraternization between officers and enlisted personnel. That's
HOWE COME companies have executive toilets and cafeterias and
the military has enlisted and officers and NCO'S clubs, and
families have children's play rooms, adult bedrooms, and
common areas where neither sort have priority over the HOWES
rules.

Right. That's HOWE COME food bribes USURP the handler's
authority. The dog is working for a tangible item, not respect
for the pack rules.
Bribes teach GREED, not comaraderie.
> I argued that it's no use trying to impress the dog with

Right. Same same as the reasons behind restricting
fraternization.
Makes sense in business too. The rules are about the same same
same same for your dogs, kids, spouses, employee's
and employers. We must never use force fear confrontation,
or HOWER AUTHORITY to enforce HOWER WILL.
That's HOWE COME we train the come command as a conditioned
reflex, there's no choice in the matter, it's strictly reflex.
Any command can be trained as a CR, but we don't
want to do that because it would inhibit the dog's THINKING
and ability and desire to RATIONALIZE, and SOLVE PROBLEMS
and use his senses to do his job to the best of his ability.
That's not to say we don't be PALS, just that there's a
certain modicum of respect for WON another that must
always be followed to insure strict discipline and proper
authority.
THAT'S what makes for RESPECT.
IOW, we DON'T WANT TOTAL CONTROL based solely on REFLEX,
because we want the dog to WILLINGLY WANT
TO DO AS WE ASK, even if it's NOT EXXXACTLY HOWE
WE ULTIMATELY WANT HIM TO BEHAVE.
We're walking a middle line between total unthinking
response, and total COOPERATIVE EFFORT.
When cooperation fails, we reinstill HOWER authority by
pulling rank, IOW, using the come command as leverage to
subordinate the dog, and then return him to the heel or
PARTNERSHIP position, where he can start off again as a
partner, not a subordinate.
So we're DELEGATING AUTHORITY, in a sense, and
we intervene with a come command when the dog exceeds
his bounds or fails to achieve, and start over again till the
behaviors are LEARNED PUPPERLY and the dog is a
WILLING WORKER.
Then the dog will NEVER question HOWER requests,
cause to do otherWIZE would be contraWIZE, to borrow
a term from HOWER professor SCRUFF SHAKE.

That would likely make the dog overly protective... like if
some mugger was disturbing your XYL... you'd automatically
THUMP him. HOWEver, if the XYL had TOTAL CONTROL
and showed the mugger up to be a CHUMP, you'd stand
there laughin your @$$ of at them and give her a hug when
she's finished dispatching IT.
> My view is the dog is always observing you
Every last detail. My dogs know if I take off my reading
glasses and leave my desk, I'm fixin to be away for a few
minutes and they'll follow. If I step away from my desk
wearing my glasses, I'm just goin to a file to find somethin
and return to work, so they remain where they are cause they
know I'm not goin nowhere noHOWE.

Right. Dogs are not so EZ to FOOL as PEOPLE are.

Right. The Puppy Wizzzard tries to find the middle line, so
the dog will be concerned about what's goin on, yet not overly
concerned and still confident of their position and regard for
their leadership.
It's a delicate balance between being totally in control, and
totally out of control. That's HOWE COME dogs protect
HOWErselves.
A STRONG, IRON WILLED LEADER NEEDS NO PROTECTION. An
INTELLIGENT, FRAGILE, leader
NEEDS CONSTANT PROTECTION... so, we WANT
the dog to THINK we're AFRAID of things that go BUMP
in the nite.
We WANT HOWER dogs to believe we're delicate,
so they won't rougHOWES us.
> My observations seem to confirm this too,
INDEEDY.
> watching people with their dogs at parks etc, the more
> confident people seem to have better control of their dogs
> and better> behaved dogs than apparently less confident
> people.
Same same for military and businesses and family and
scouting...
That's HOWE COME The Puppy Wizzzard's FREE
WWW Wits' End Dog Training Method Manual Students
get BETTER CONTROL when their dogs are OFF LEAD,
than when they're restricted on lead.
The dog senses the TRUST and CONFIDENCE the handler
has placed on them to DO as they're REQUESTED, despite
that there's no apparent means of CORRECTING MISTAKES.
That makes the dog FEEL GOOD about working and paying
attention and DOIN as he's ASKED.
HOWEVER, WONce the dog is ORDERED to DO something, the trust
and confidence are eroded and the dog is MOORE likely to
challenge HOWER authority and will UNDOUBTEDLY fail to do the
command, cause he's gonna challenge your authority if he feels
put upon, and will be unwilling to comply, forcing the handler
to take action to regain control and ENFORCE HIS WILL.
WONce we get into a battle of the wills, the dog wins in EVERY
situation where we cannot force control.
> Not absolutely but just generally.
Well, we're talking about VERY SUBTLE effects having BIG
influences on ALL HOWER RELATIONSHIPS.
Like the chain of command in the military must never be
broken, we can establish similar rules for HOWER behavior
which will be followed by everyWON in the PACK, be it family,
dog, scouts, business, or military command.
> If I'm correct then is it possible our dogs obedience and
> behaviors etc are reflecting our self confidences?
ABSOLUTELY. Hesitating while giving commands,
waiting for the last command to be followed etc,
detract from the dog's sense of confidence in us,
and shows him we're UNCERTAIN as to HIS
willingness to FOLLOW COMMANDS, just as it
makes kids or wives or employees and employers
say "NO!"
> Paul
WONCE we learn HOWE to ESTABLISH the proper
degree of CONTROL,
HOWER charges will follow suite because it's the MOST NATURAL
THING TO DO. We NEVER QUESTION pupper
authority. HOWEver, if we go over or under, we have
FIGHTING in the ranks, MUTINY, and DESERTION.
NOW there's only TWO questions remaining: HOWE
do we instill pupper discipline without repression to
elicit 100% TOTAL NON PHYSICAL CONTROL just
like a military unit with HOWER dogs, kids, spouses,
employee's, employer's, and governments?
AND HOWE COME The Puppy Wizzzard NEVER
FOLLOWED HIS OWN RULES HERE ON HOWER
FORUM, KNOWING FULL WELL, TO DO OTHERWIZE
WILL CERTAINLY CAUSE DISSENT, FIGHTING, HATRED, ANGER, EVEN
DEATH?
The First question is ANSWERED IN FULL in your
FREE copy of The Puppy Wizzzard's FREE WWW
Wits' End Dog Training Method Manual.
The SECOND question is answered in reading HOWER
forum...FIGGER IT OUT. The Puppy Wizzzard came here
to IDENTIFY, EXXXPOSE, DISCREDIT, and DESTROY
the lying dog abusing Punk Thug Cowards we got here
who INTENTIONALLY HURT DOGS to ENFORCE THEIR
WILL AND WILL GLADLY KILL A BAD DOG, TO BE FAIR.

Paul B (NOSPAMpaulbousie@clear.net.nz) Subject: Good dogs!!!
bad dogs.?? Date: 2000/10/21
Something occurred this morning that made me think how we
treat our dogs and what expectations we have of them.
Because it was a Saturday we slept in and the dogs eventually
jumped up on the bed on my wife's side. After a brief greeting
she very abruptly demanded they get down, "OFF THE BED" she
insisted, Sam looked at her perplexed, so she repeated the
"order", so Sam tried to lick her face, "GET OFF" she said
abruptly.
Sam got down but was unsure what he had done wrong. After a
bit they both came over and jumped up on my side, I patted
them etc and eventually asked them to get down, "off the bed,
good dogs" and they hopped off immediately with no prob's.
Eileen asked me why they obey me and not her so easily. I told
her they got down for me because I asked them to, they know
the command "off the bed" or "off anything" so there is no
need to demand it of them, ask them and they will comply,
demand it and they get confused because they think you are
annoyed with them but they don't know why so they try to "make
amends" which is why Sam licked her.
I have found giving dogs "payment" in advance i.e. "Sam sit
goodboy" makes the dogs want to respond, after all, all dogs
want to be "good dogs" and if you tell them they are good then
they feel an obligation to obey your request.
Telling Sam he's a good dog after he sit's apart from been too
late is also a gamble because if he doesn't sit then there's
no positive interaction.
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.

I have posted about my dog Sunshine before who was aggressive
to all people and dogs until I found and used the Wits End
Training methods.
He is now great--can go any where and he is fine with people
and dog even when they get in his face on a flexi lead! He
still had problem with stress that was making him scratch him
self raw in places--he nose has had a sore for the last month.
We started using the Doggy Do Right and his nose was almost
healed when the machine went off. The next day he was
scratching and opened the sore on his nose again.
Twelve hours after I turned it back on he quit scratching and
his nose is healing again. The machine does work.
I have two barking dogs behind me that have reduced their
barking a lot. In fact when we were out walking one them came
over to visit and the owner did not notice he was gone since
he did not bark at us as he usually did.
The Wits End Training Method works, the problems I have had
are the result I having trouble breaking my old patterns.
My dog got it fast but kept getting confused when I had
trouble getting the commands together. I always thought I
used praise but I really did not until I started using the
Wits End Method of sound and praise. In the past it took a lot
of treats to get him to do something--now I have been able to
teach him several things like pull the laundry basket with
just praise. He really likes it better I think and does not
seem to miss the treats for jobs.
If you have problem with your dog try the Wits End Method--it
is free and it works and it improves your relationship. So
much of dog training is force and using pain to get a dog to
do something that a method that works and does not rely on
pain, force, or "corrections" is wonderful for both owner and
dog. Don't think something that is free can not be good
because I have spent more hours and more thousands of dollars
than I though possible in the three years with Sunshine and
nothing helped until I found the Wits End Method of sound and
praise.

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

Oh? Well THAT'S the PROBLEM here abHOWETS
Disciple Paulie. We got LIARS DOG ABUSERS
THUGS PUNKS COWARDS and MENTAL CASES
who WANT to HURT and KILL dogs and get HOWET
callin THAT, trainin.
> I tried 4 pro trainers,
Yeah... didn't do much good. Your dogs had a boatload of
problems when we first met here.

That's on accHOWENT of there ain't no other trainer who's got
a proven effective method, EXXXCEPT The Puppy Wizard.

And THAT'S HOWE COME their dogs FLUNK 10%
of the time, MINIMUM, GUARANTEED. See The
Puppy Wizard's post "Misbehavior Of Organisms."
That'll EXXXPLAIN HOWE COME the BEHAVIORISTS
can't TRAIN a critter CONSISTENTLY 100% EFFECTIVELY
and withHOWET HURTIN THEM.

When you first met The Puppy Wizard your dogs were escaping
your yard and doin lots of stuff you needed to work on.

And nHOWE you NEVER got to tell them NO.

Well that'd be overly generHOWES here abHOWETS.

Let's talk abHOWET SAR dogs and lying "I LOVE
KOEHLER" lynn's past history of RETIRING her
SAR dog before ever WORKIN in SAR cause SHE

she could HURT him in the ring where he got high
scores but COULDN'T HURT HIM on a REAL LIFE
SAR site cause she doesn't know where the FIND
is so she don't know WHEN TO HURT HIM.
