The same same same same qualifications HOWER
dog lovers here who are professional trainers got.
They got BAD EXXXPERIENCE.
They HURT and KILL dogs because they think
they need pain fear force deprivation bribery
and confinement to train a dog, after A LOT
of HARD WORK.
Trainin dogs is EZ GENTLE FAST and FREE
if you know HOWE. All the INFORMATION
you need to train any dog to any level of
discipline or utility you PREFER is in your
FREE copy of The Puppy Wizard's FREE
WWW Wits' End Dog Training Method
Manual.
> If the trainer told you to jump out a second
> floor window would you do it?
The Puppy Wizard's motto is "watch WON
DO WON TEACH WON. After the demo
The Puppy Wizard will ask questions and
repeat the performance. And then teach
you HOWE to do likeWIZE.
> Why do you need to show the dog who's boss?
You CAN'T! The dog will RUN HOWET on you
if you try to make yourself alpha, if he's a good
enough dog to take HOWET and make a pack
of his own. THAT'S the "adolescent rebelliHOWES
stage" discussed by Scott & Fuller.
Dogs CAN'T REBEL if we don't PROVOKE them.
> a dog is a dog and a pup is a pup.
INDEED. As a child is a child. The Puppy
Wizard doesn't do to dogs whoat wouldn't
be EXXXCELLENT for an infant. They're
delicate sensitive organisms, and need
to be respected as a dependent who's
needs must be met UNCONDITIONALLY.
> IF a dog chews your mail who is at
> fault the dog or you?
The dog can be trained not to do that NEARLY
INSTANTLY.
> You because you left it to where he could chew it.
NO. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
We DO NOT BLAME people for not knowin
HOWE to TRAIN their dogs to naturally
want to do every thing they're asked. That's
taken The Puppy Wizard nearly forty years
to perfect using tHOWESANDS of subjects.
> If the dog pees in the floor is it the dogs fault?
Unless the dog was neglected of his physical
need to relieve himself after abHOWET eight
or ten HOWERS, the dog was PROBABLY
makin an ON PUPORSE anxiety behavior
relief mechanism.
> Nope.
The handler would have done sumpting inappupriate
to cause the dog to be anxiHOWES.
> You waited to long to take him out.
That's RARELY the case. Most HOWEsbreaking
accidents are STATEMENTS. Unless the dog
is UNREASONABLY kept withHOWET the
opportunity for a break, his "accident" was likely
an ON PUPORSE or a MEDICAL PROBLEM.
Curing HOWEsbreakin problems is EZ and
FAST, if you know HOWE. If you do the right
actions the dog will be cured of his NEED to
MAKE A STATEMENT and will not reoffend,
UNLESS HE'S SICK.
That's HOWE COME The Puppy Wizard doesn't
recommend vetting the dog for most HOWEsbreakin
problems, cause we can CURE the BEHAVIOR
PROBLEM before the vet appointment could be
made and kept.
Often just taking the dog TO the vet gives him
enough DIRECT ATTENTION to CURE the
CAUSE of ANXIETY URINATION in his HOWES.
> There is no sense in being physical with a dog
> to show him who's boss.
That's what TEACHES dogs AGGRESSION. Look
up allelomimetic behaviorISM. The principles of
AB dictate that if you scruff shake a dog you're
likely TEACHING HIM to SCRUFF SHAKE your
goddamned kids floppin on him on the living
room floor.
> You keep beating the dog and one day that dog
> will turn on you and bite you in the kisser.
Naaah. That's not the problem. NoWON beats dogs
here abHOWETS. The PROBLEM is CONFLICTING
or negatively interacting with the dog in ANY manner
whatsoever.
If you teach the dog 'NO!,' he'll USE IT.
Or he'll REPRESS his anger and it'll eat him up.
Ask professor lyin doc "SCRUFF SHAKE
and scream 'NO!' into ITS face for 5 seconds
and lock IT in a box for ten minutes reflection"
dermer of the department of ANAL-ytic
behaviorISM at UofWI.
Or you can ask his little dog Maxie The
Magnificent FuriHOWESLY Obsessive
Compulsive Masturbator. He was DYIN
of a STRANGE MEDICAL condition that
was CURED by some TLC, just like HOWE
The Puppy Wizard PROMISED will CURE
The Puppy Wizard's SYNDROME.
Ask him.

Subject: Re: FOREVER And A DAY! - Re: dog aggression
Thanks for writing--I would be happy to do almost anything
to get your approach out to dog owners as I know it would
save so many lives. I know at times I was so frustrated I
thought of giving up on Sunshine but of course I never would
have but many people would have. The world just does not
know you can train a dog in just a few sessions and actually
solve problems.
We will be here until late April and we really have no plans-
-just to enjoy the warmth and sun of Florida, so any time
you could meet us would be great. I drive so I would be
happy to come to you anytime anywhere!
We went to Celebration today and two little poodles got
right into his face and he just sat there--I GOT a little
scared but he handled it just fine.--a couple of times people
would ask his name and want to pet him and he just went
to them tail wagging and rolled over for them rub his tummy.
He really just is not concerned about people passing, even
those on rollerblades! I have always used a gentle leader
in public but he spent most of time rubbing his face on the
grass--today I used his collar and he was so much happier!!
Only problem is he will stop to smell and I can not get
stopped soon enough to keep the leash loose. He never
pulled ahead of me but when he gets into smelling I have
a hard time getting him going--at times I think he could
smell a blade of grass for 10 minutes.
I can never thank you enough for giving Sunshine back!!!!!
I wrote to Purdue and told them about him being able to
walk in a crowd with out the /gentle leader and not having
a problem with other people and dogs.
I told them their advice did not work. Their advice was
to use the gentle leader at all times and when he was
around people or dogs to have him sit and reward with
treats--one really good suggestions was to have people
coming toward us stop when he got stressed or aroused
and not move until we backed away-
- can you just see me yelling at people to stop on the street
until I get his attention with treats.
They also suggested the possibility of using drugs-prozac-
but thought he was too dangerous as the drug would make
him less fearful and then he might attack or become more
sure of himself and become dominate aggressive. Just had
to share their great advice with you but I am sure you have
heard it all--even I am becoming an expert on bad advice.

I grew up in a Dane kennel. My dogs have ALWAYS been
bigger n me... and I couldn't hurt them at all, so I couldn't
train them, and that was not making The Puppy Wizard's
dogs owner's HAPPY. And WE couldn't KILL THEM as
our EXXXPERT trainers and breed fanciers practice.
So, we worked 24/8 just like I'm still doin.
But back then, it was just me and my dog. Now it's me
an my dogs against the ENTIRE industry, so it seems
from the REJECTION, RIDICULE, and MALICE from
self proclaimed dog lovers who RELIGIOUSLY REFUSE
to believe we can train ALL dogs and ALL handlers and
ALL behavior problems using ONE method... because
"every dog is a individual" and NEEDS "individualized"
training.
Well, it's that "INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING" that KILLS dogs
and gets innocent people HURT. And the crying goddamned
shame of it is, there's NO reason for it save for the fragile
defective EGOS of our professional and competitive pet
lovers who'd PREFER to HURT their own dogs than listen to
the one trainer and his multitude of 100% nearly instantly
SUCCESSFUL, FREE Wits' End Dog Training Method manual
students, like YOURSELF.
Their objection? "Could be dangerous not having CONTROL."
> Now just a good boy when he gets a little concerned will
> have him turn toward me and look like "oh great"
Our EXXPERT dog lovers blatantly refuse to praise a dog
for doin BAD, they KNOW they got to HURT IT to teach
RESPECT.. for their goddamned G-d-like AUTHORITY.

Yeah. That's cause EVERYTHING you'd been "taught" by
your pet professional was EXXXACTLY OPPOSITE of
what YOU learned HERE in CYBERSPACE, and applied
in a couple of days, maybe LESS... Hey? Got a surprise for
ya...
Last week The Puppy Wizard signed onto the "pro trainers"
hot list... a group of jerk and choke pinch and shock
fanciers.
My first post was NOT inflammatory (as you know The Puppy
Wizard has a propensity for being, when dealing with "dog
trainers").
My introduction IMMEDIATELY got me "redirected" to their
"BACK ROOM" "where ANYTHING goes..." Well, their only
concern from my first post was that I'd quoted Sir Monty
Roberts, the horse trainer for The Queen?
Our horse trainers are EXXXACTLY the same selfish, vicious,
ignorant, lying animal abusing coward thug cretins who hurt
dogs where I come from. ALL they wanted to do was 'take issue'
with ME quoting the NOTORIOUS ABUSER and FRAUD,
Sir Monty Roberts!~
All for havin quoted ONE LINE: "I've never seen a horse
run to the NEXT blade of grass." IMAGINE???
They had NOTHIN to say about the detailed DOG BEHAVIOR
text I'd sent, only voiced their objections to that dangerous
unscrupulous horseman!!! I didn't make any other reference
to him except his simile about BRIBERY.
In examining their quoted "complaints" of animal abuse, there
were only 2 references to HORSES! They intentionally
maligned his Technique, which is comparable to The Puppy
Wizard's H&C FPLX.
My findings were there were NO discrepancies in MR's methods,
only in the COMPLAINER'S failure to WANT to understand and
outrage for EMBARRASSING THEM!
As we've seen from MY work with these "trainers" on the net,
their OBJECTIONS were FALSE, and their rendition of what
MR's methods, tools, and goals are, were OBSCURED beyond
any sense of reason... or practicality!
I managed to last about 1.5 days in the PRO TRAINER'S
HOT LIST "BACK ROOM, where ANYTHING GOES!!!"
COWARDS CAN'T EVEN DISCUSS THE FACTS IN PRIVATE!
> Now we can go and he enjoys the people again-
EXXXCELLENTE!
Hey? Ya wanna know HOWE COME the PRO TRAINERS
freaked out on Your Puppy Wizard, Linda??? The Puppy
Wizard figured he'd CUT THEM DOWN TO SIZE, so he

The Puppy Wizard is NOT a FOOL, for FLATTERY!
What IS the nature of this problem you seek assistance with?
Your Puppy Wizard LIVES for a challenge, Linda.
Tell The Puppy Wizard the nature of your dilemma
you believe requires his generous assistance. IF
The Puppy Wizard can suffice your trainin desires
from sittin right here stark ravin nekkid, he will
GLADLY grant you a personal audience and have
the OPPORTUNITY OF HIS LIFE, to meet our
Sunshine IN THE FLESH....
State: "our training problem is:
And THEN we'll see about OUR own PLEASURE!
Your Puppy Wizard. <YPW;~)
P.S. Coincidentally, we have kin visiting down
your way and we are tentatively planning to
go there (don't know when) as they are not
mobile.
Perhaps Mrs. Puppy Wizard and himself can combine
the visits and we can socialize *(Ugh! The Puppy
Wizard PREFERS to WORK!!!)?
HOWE long will you be in town, and do you have
any commitments? Your Puppy Wizard is available
24/8 - IF we can solve your training problem as
per the usual, customary, medium. of CYBERSPACE.
DEAL? And PLEASE seriously consider NAILING
THAT UNIVERSITY. The Puppy Wizard will RAVENOUSLY
DEVOUR their "behaviorists" AND their high priced defense
team, FOR FREE! GUARANTEED.
Cause THAT'S HOWE The Puppy Wizard HAS HIS FUUN!!!
Eternally Yours, Jerry Howe, Your Puppy Wizard. <YPW;~)
P.S. Ooops! In reviewing my post, I've solved your training
problem... Perhaps it was the EXXXCITEMENT of hearing
from you once again and all the prospects it entails. The
PROBLEM IS, when Sunsine greets HIS PALS, he's already
gained physical contact through his feet on his friend.
Advise his friends they must not engage him physically,
that they should ACT NORMAL in their greeting, but at
the very last moment, STEP BACK to avoid contact
with his feet as you operate the techniques, and
Sunshine will AUTOMAGICKALLY become effectively
broken of this last, long term behavioral problem.
The Puppy Wizard is at your disposal. Call me whenever
you'd like and I / we will be there, nearly instantly, or
next spring. The Puppy Wizard gets lost on his way to
the corner store... repeatedly. Perhaps THAT'S HOWE
COME he prefers to be settin right here, stark ravin nekkid.

WELCOME TO WITS' END DOG TRAINING!
Will try it today and post how well this system works.
We went to a dog class that I had enrolled in for
resocialization--getting him to not lunge and try to
attack every dog he sees, we were at the third class
and I forgot the Halti but he was relaxed and had no
problem with any of the seven dogs-
-in the past he would shake and after a little while
turn away from the dogs and look at the wall. Saturday
he wanted to play with the dogs--he actually pulled
toward the dogs- kinda jumped around like he use to do
before he became aggressive- when he got close to another
dog.
Teacher was impressed with him but thought it was from
her class--I didn't tell her anything different-she had
tried but it sure was not working.
Today on our walk a dog went by and he alerted but did
not move toward the dog and when I called him he actually
came with his tail wagging and forget about the dog.
I have told everyone I see about your dog training-
-all my friends and neighbors know I have been so worried
and frustrated with Sunshine's behavior-infact some would
turn around and go the other way so as not to get close to us.
If people knew how easy it could be to get a dog to come
and listen to you there would be a lot less dogs in shelters.
I know I didn't know what to do and was afraid I would have
to kill him if he bite someone even though I loved him so
much.

Sunshine is still acting like a new dog!
Saw a dog today and "good boy-" worked along with calling him-
came the first time every time. Not even a sound out of him.
Think it is hard for him but he never even seemed to think
about going off-reacting.
The word come has no affect on him just the phrase--Sunshine
come goodboy.

Yup. You've got to generalize the come command to make
it 100% reliable. MISTAKES ARE GOOD. You want him to
make a few mistakes so we can get the sound associated
with the command.
> I have not tried to call him off leash outside as that is

O.K. You know to do the HOT & Cold and Family Leadership
Exercises and you'll have a perfect come command in a couple
fifteen minute sessions.
> On the leash he came on the first call today even when he
> was starting to explore the leaves etc.
Excellent. We discussed his penchant for eating leaves
and dirt off the ground.
> He walked past several people today with hardly
> a second glance-
We also discussed that he was rather aggressive, and you
were becoming very concerned about being able to keep him.
> he did see a cat about 10 feet away and when I called him

PERFECT. Next time you'll probably not need the sound.
Just remember to vary the origin of the sound each time,
day in to day out, the sequence never breaks.
> Now what do I do when he sees another dog?
You'll tell him GOOD BOY and prepare to make the sound
and praise if he continues looking, and if that fails, you'll
ask him to come, keeping in mind the sequence of the
commands with sound and the distract/praise techniques.
You'll get used to thinking that fast in a couple more days,
no problem.
> Although the calling him the four times seems easy it was
> very hard-
Yes, it takes a bit of a knack to get it just right, but if
you fail, not to worry, you'll be able to get it right the
next time. We don't lose points for "do overs" as long as we
get the pup under control fast and EZ. That's HOWE COME that
dependable come command is so necessary.
> -I had a friend which was good since I had a lot of trouble
> calling the right way and using the can at the same time.
Yes, I recommended you may want a friend to help because
of your disability.
> I found out I had been calling him many times each time
> I called him to come.
Right. Should be about a second between requests and
the sounds on the second and fourth commands and move
off into the FPLX if that fails, and continue the technique.
EZ, huh???
> I am still working on the leash it is really hard when you
> are not standing upright as the leash can not be as loose
> since it drags on the ground-
Yeah, I don't know if you're able, but do try to handle the
lead exactly as instructed. It'll feel uncomfortable for a
few days, but we don't want that lead tangling and
accidentally pullin on him.
>-I am so worried without the leash around my hand
Psst! If you've got fair strength in your hands, let me
do the worrying for you... O.K.?
> but I am not sure if it was the leash,
Well, you know I told you it was the overcontrol of
the lead that triggers positive thigmotaxis, the opposition
reflex.
> telling him good boy everytime he looked at me
That ALWAYS works. All my Mrs. got to do is tell me
good boy and I'll do anything she asks. Hey? I think
I just figgered out HOWE COME she always gets
her way with me...
> or the cans,
Any sound will suffice, even an extraneous and coincidentally
but well timed sound will work, maybe even BETTER.

WELCOME TO WITS' END DOG TRAINING!

Naaah. There's nobody that has such fast EZ safe gentle
methods. I'll be on TV soon enough with my Doggy Do Right
(And Kitty Will And A Rooster Did And A Cockatoo Or Two
Did Too) machine.
But that's just gonna give me the floor to discuss the state
of the art of the animal behavior industry.
Would you do me a favor? If you're on the internet, I'd sure
appreciate it if you'd repost this to the groups, a lot of
people are saying terrible things about me and tellin folks
reports like yours, are FORGERIES by ME.
Thank you for being a good student.
Yours, Jerry.

Excellent.
> I am truly at my wits end!!!
Me too, but not with your problem. This one's EZ!
> Today he bite me twice breaking the skin when
> he was in a "rage" .
He's gonna be EZ. He's not even thinking about you when he
bites. He's just overexcited trying to PROTECT you. That'll
diminish immediately through simply handling the lead
properly, gettin the control and attention through the praise
conditioning, and distract/praising his aggressive thoughts
before he gets out of control.
EZ stuff.
> Once when he saw another dog-ran toward the dog
Sound/praise and repeat as necessary. Just remember
to always vary the direction the sound comes from. You
might need a helper to produce the alternate sounds in
time.
> and pulled me down-
In a couple days that'll cause him to come back to you.

He'll straighten out in a couple days of EZ work.

> falling.
Yes, but he wasn't conscious of YOU, he's in a fury protecting
you.
> The second time was when we were going down the street-
> -I use an electric cart
Excellent. You'll be able to handle him EZ like that.
> and a man walked toward us and He saw him before I did
That would complicate and slow things down.
> and took off-
In a couple days you'll have the control to stop him after
he's started.

That was predictable!
> -he bites what every is close.
At least he's consistent. That's GOOD!
> When he is not in a rage he will let me doing anything-
Of course. He sounds PERFECT. This is the kind of
dog I'd go out of my way to get for myself...

Perfect.

Yeah, kinda like me...

You're gonna be EZ.

He sounds like a great dog!

He'll learn the same manners when in pubic.

We'll fix him up in a couple days of EZ work.

Pssst! It's already in the bag...

Not to worry, that'll be past history in a couple days.
> Your method seems so simple
It is. Just follow the techniques and ask me if you
need any help. I've got all kinds of fast EZ solutions
for any problem you could encounter.

Everything you've tried has relied on bribes force
and confrontation.
> -but I will start trying tomorrow.
And instead of trying to force him to stay in control,
you'll PRAISE his first aggressive thought and he'll
move in close to YOU to protect you, not charge at
others. He'll learn FAST that you want the aggression
and he'll want to use it BEST for YOU, so he'll do
EVERY THING you ask the first time.
I'd LOVE to have a hundred dogs just like him today.
> I use a Halti so he does not pull me over-usually!
Right, but here again, you're relying on some degree
of force to control him. That will ALWAYS trigger
the OPPOSITE of what we want, telling him to be
aggressive, not to pay attention to you and your safety.
Once he sees THAT, you're gonna need a shoe horn
to PRY him AWAY from you.
In fact, when you WANT him to attack someone all you'll
have to do is let him see someone and gently pull back
on his collar without sayin nuthin, and that'll set him off...
> but have never used punishment, choke collar or any
> other "corrections"
Good, that'll make it REAL EZ to teach him my methods.

Fine. We'll forget the treats and use the click differently
for our puporses.
> Thanks for your help in advance-
CONGRATULATIONS in advance...
> -I pray your method will be our salvation!!!
No need to. It's already DONE.

Do me a favor? If you could keep a record of our
discussions and your work with your pup, and
send it in to the news groups I participate in, it'd
be a great benefit and inspiration for others in the
same or similar situations.

"I know that most men, including those at ease with
problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept
even the simplest and most obvious truth if it would
oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they
have delighted in explaining to colleagues, proudly
taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by
thread, into the fabric of their lives."
-Leo Tolstoy-
Is it any wonder that the following sig file has generated
more complaints to my personal email than any other
controversial post I have made to date, bar none?:
CAVEAT
If you have to do things to your dog to train him that you
would rather not have to do, then you shouldn't be doing
them. If you have a dog trainer who tells you to jerk your
dog around, choke him, pinch his ears, or twist his toes,
shock, shake, slap, scold, hit, chin cuff, scruff shake or
punish your dog in any manner, that corrections
are appropriate, that the dog won't think of you as the
punisher, or that corrections are not harmful, or if they
can't train your dog to do what you want, look for a
trainer that knows HOWE.

Nature, to be mastered, must be obeyed.
-Francis Bacon-
There are terrible people who, instead of solving a
problem, bungle it and make it more difficult for all who
come after. Who ever can't hit the nail on the head
should, please, not hit at all.
-Nietzsche-
The abilities to think, rationalize and solve problems are
learned qualities.
The Wits' End Dog Training Method challenges the learning
centers in the dogs brain. These centers, once challenged,
develop and continue to grow to make him smarter.
The Wits' End Dog Training method capitalizes on
praising split seconds of canine thought, strategy, and
timing, not mindless hours of forced repetition, constant
corrections, and scolding.
