Hi

Our 6 month old German shepherd male puppy is showing aggressive behavior
toward our 2 sons. They are 19 and 21. He will bark at the sound of our
older son moving around in his room in the basement of our home. While
barking he will also back away as if he is afraid. We have tried yanking on
his choke chain and correcting him as advised by his breeder, but he still
carries on with the barking. He will let our son get close to him and pet
him, and while he has never bitten him, we are concerned. He is doing
somewhat better with our younger son, since he is around him more. The
strange thing is that he doesn't show any sign of this behavior around any
other males. We have taken him around other family members and their dogs,
and to the pet store with no problems. He is fine with other men that come
to the house and he is fine with my wife and our 17 year old daughter. He
was raised for the first 6 months by a single 60ish woman, who decided he
was too much for her. He is a good dog otherwise, seems to be pretty
intelligent and eager to learn. We don't know how to correct this behavior
and are open to suggestions. Thanks

Sort of interesting Bill.
Is there anything about your son which somehow spooks him? Does he wear a
hat - some dogs are wierd about certain hats. I had a dog who hated one
particular friend. Turned out it was his cowboy hat. Hat removed - dog
greeted him happily.
Does he appear suddenly from the door to the basement as opposed to those
who might knock at the front door and be greeted as friends by you? Consider
anything that makes him very different from your other son. Does he carry a
brief case or guitar or something which spooks the dog? I'm really grasping
at straws here but there are many things which could be the problem. Is he
tall and bends "over" the dog when trying to make friends? Dog's often don't
like this. Does he "like" the dog? Would he be willing to take over the
dog's feeding, walking, complete care etc. for a while. Does the dog spend
any time in the basement with your son? That might help.
Could even be that somewhere during his life he had a bad experience with
someone very like your son.
Can't be much more help with this but something else might come to me and
others will probably also have ideas.
Funny little creatures these dogs. They get ideas in their heads and it's up
to us to try to sort them out and understand. Make sure that you are not
contributing to the dog's worry over your son, by treating him differently
when your son appears as opposed to when others are around him. Your
unwitting nervousness would be quite apparent to the dog who would then have
his ideas about your son confirmed in his mind.

All behavior problems are caused by mishandling, Bill.

That should take a couple minutes to extinguish.

Right. All aggression is fear.

To teach him to be confident?

Hurting and intimidating dogs is not correcting nuthin,
it's being a dog abuser.

> as advised by his breeder,

Well, you learned the hard way. You ready for MOORE of

Takes MINUTES. Maybe LESS. WithHOWET HURTIN noWON.

That's pretty bad.

That's probably cause other males don't make suspiciHOWES
noises that cause him to get jerked and choked as taught to
you by your ethickal breeder.

Well, he's only six months and you've got your hands full
cause you've been given bad information from your breeder.

> He was raised for the first 6 months by a single 60ish woman,

Where was the ethickal breeder when the lady had trHOWEBLE
with this pup? She just took the dog off her hands?

Yeah. Too bad you've been given bad advice abHOWET him.

Well, you're in EXXXCELLENT company here abHOWETS.

You won't be gettin no goddamned suggestions from HOWER

I assume that I and my wife are those two naive childs
since I freely admit to having read and, I hope,
understood enough of the manual and it's counterparts by
John Fisher and the posts of Marilyn Rammell to believe
and use it.

This naive child would like to say thank you to both
Jerry and Marilyn for putting up with a constant barrage
of really infantile crap at the hands of supposedly
adult dog lovers.

The other naive child (LSW) has to put up with the
nagging idea that if people like them had been posting
earlier, maybe we would not have had to hold the head
of a really magnificent animal in our arms while he was
given the needle and having to hug him and wait until he
gasped his last gasp.

To my mind, "naive" is believing you can terrorize a dog
into good behavior. Naive is believing that people that
hide behind fake names are more honest than people that
use their real names. Naive is thinking that dilettante
dog breeders and amateur "trainers" like Joey
(lyingdogDUMMY, j.h.) are the equal or better than
those that have studied and lived by their craft for
decades.

"Stupid" is believing that people do not see kindergarten
level insults for what they are. Really stupid is believing
that people like Jerry Howe and Marilyn Rammell are
going to just go away because you people act like fools.

Why do you act like fools? I really have no idea, and I
don't really care.

I think I'm going to get one myself for Father's day and
take it down to the Animal Shelter for their use and
testing. You would never believe the results, so you'll
never know.

I don't see a "scam man", so I guess I and Longsuffering

eh? As Joey (Dogman) says, "poor Rollei.".......right.

Yes it was, and that is sad.

Robert, Longsuffering Wife and Rollei (do I get to

Perhaps the boys should slip HOWET the window and

they want to raid the fridge in the middle of the nite?

Perhaps Bill's son doesn't wear a cowboy hat?

the dog?

That's probably it!

Yeah. Every dog is different, you know.

RIGHT! Perhaps there's a sqeeky stair or door hinge?

You suppose it might be the jerking and choking when he barks?

Right. Dogs HATE being jerked and choked.

Did your friend who wore the hat like your dog?

That's got NUTHIN to do with the problem. I'm still thinkin
the dog is wearin a cowboy hat and THAT'S the problem.

Perhaps he should take off his hat in the HOWES?

INDEED.

You think maybe a guitar carrying non hat wearing youth
startled his mom while he was in gestation?

Good thinkin. Work on that cowboy hat idea. Perhaps it's a gang
sign?

> Funny little creatures these dogs.

INDEEDY. Funny HOWE they react HOWETA FEAR over NUTHIN.

Right. Bill's breeder told him to jerk and choke his dog
to heelp sort HOWET and undersand his fears.

your son,

RIGHT. Wouldn't want him to worry.

You mean, like by not makin him take off his
hat in the HOWES and jerking and choking him?

Right. But this only seems to happen when the dog's wearin
a cowboy hat as a gang sign.

You think so?

You don't SUPPOSE the JERKING and CHOKING might have

Perhaps someWON will have MOORE ideas. Perhaps Bill

- Yanking him when he is barking at your son might not be such a good
idea that might agitate him more. The best thing will be for your son to
ignore the dog when he comes in and continue ignoring him, by that I mean no
looking at, no speaking to or touching the dog until he calms down. It will
be best if you ignore the dog too. Let the dog be until he seeks contact
with your son. When he seeks contact your son can pet him. A good thing will
be for your son to have a pocket full of treats to give your dog when he
behaves good, as in no barking, no acting out. When your dog has gotten a
bit more comfortable around your son it will be good if your son could do
something with him that he likes, like playing fetch, going for a walk etc.
Your dog sounds lovely and I am sure he will come around and that you have
nothing to worry about. he just needs to get to know your son and be
comfortable around him.

I know of no breed that goes through as extreme a developmental fear
period (usually at 7-9 months) as GSDs. The sound of unknown activity
is probably what is setting him off, rather than anything about your
sons. Don't force him to confront his fears right now. Ignore him or
laugh at him to tell him that this is a perfectly normal activity and
nothing to be upset about. Chances are good that it will go way as
quickly as it began.

You think so, looney toons? What do you do when your
dogs do that? You scold and intimidate and lock them
in a box, don't you?

> The best thing will be for your son to ignore the dog
> when he comes in and continue ignoring him,

Don't you think that's RUDE, looney toons?

That might make the dog MOORE mistrustful.

> It will be best if you ignore the dog too.

You can't ignore a dangerHOWES behavior problem
and not expect it to get worse, looney toons. Tell us
all abHOWET the many incidents where your two
dogs have done the same same, even bitten innocent
kids, the vet, your SO, and others, looney toons? Did
you IGNORE your dogs when they was attackin people?

> Let the dog be until he seeks contact with your son.

The dog is aggressive.

> When he seeks contact your son can pet him.

He'll probably get bit.

> A good thing will be for your son to have a pocket full of

Bribing dogs makes them suspiciHOWES. Dogs are SCAVENGERS.
They steal scraps of food and run to hide to eat it with their
backs
to the wall in a heightened state of alert.

Is that what you WANT?

> as in no barking, no acting out.

Offering the treat is bHOWEND to start him up again.

> When your dog has gotten a bit more comfortable around your son

It's been a couple months and it ain't gettin no goddamned better,
looney toons. What's gonna change? OLD AGE? The dog's gonna
get too old to bark at his kids and then they can pat IT?

> it will be good if your son could do something with him that he
likes,

Oh? You mean, sumpthin like not gettin bit?

> like playing fetch, going for a walk etc.

The dog ain't interested, looney toons. The dog barks
at his son, looney toons.

> Your dog sounds lovely

His dog is gettin jerked and choked on the advice of
his ethickal breeder and is assaulting his kids and is
probably gonna GET DEAD in a couple weeks.

Your dog bit a child and you didn't worry abHOWET it.

Kinda like your dogs need to do likeWIZE?

That's good. He probably woulda got bit harder if he had

Good for you! You're a dog abuser. That's HOWE COME
your dogs are screwed up. Your dog Ezra has bitten several
people, including a child.

Yeah.

That "happy dance" is ANXIETY. Your dog is food aggressive

MENTAL ILLNESS IN RPD*
Mental illness is a public issue in these newsgroups.
People are always running around calling other people
mentally ill and diagnosing their illnesses. I think it's only
fair that we have an accurate list of who is and who isn't
mentally ill, so that we can avoid any misunderstandings
and promote group harmony.

RPD* Ment_ally Ill All_StaRz as of 10/9/03


-----------------------------------------------
lyinglynn writes to a new foster care giver:
For barking in the crate - leave the leash on and
pass it through the crate door. Attach a line to it.
When he barks, use the line for a correction.

- if necessary, go to a citronella bark collar.

I'll be you've never had to put down litters of
beautiful labrador puppies? If you had did, maybe
you'd be singing a different tune?

No different tune," ~Emily

"I'll bet you don't know a thing about me. I volunteered

for a while, and I know a bit about overpopulation and

This however has nothing at all to do with responsible

to that problem," Mustang Sally.

The dog sleeps in the basement in a cage. He also eats down there and we
let him in and out from the basement. (basement door leads outside)

Reese (my dog's name) will be upstairs in the family room and as soon as he
hears my son's bedroom door open , he goes nuts. He will bark his head off
for ten minutes. If I put the leash on him he will usually stop. Sometimes
I will put the leash on him and hand it to my son. Reese will sit and let
him pet him. 30 minutes later he hears my son's door open and he's going
nuts again.

I'm going crazy trying to figure out what to do..

Some thoughts... for what they are worth, no more, no less... no
accusations being made...

1. Your dog is a puppy with very little life experience. He is making
a judgement based on darn little... perhaps.

2. Boys in their adolescent years sometimes make shaky decisions, too.
Both of them are in the basement... Same area? Kinda makes me wonder if
your son has done something out of your sight, based on his immaturity
(even if he's normally mature for his age) that has frightened the pup.
This does not mean that he has done it intentionally or that he has hurt
the pup... only that it has effected the pup to produce the behavior you
see.

3. GSDs tend to go through very pronounced fear stages.... several of
them... and one is often around this general age... so his reaction may
be based only on this developmental stage and his selection of your son
to react to in this way.

4. One approach might be to have your son do all or almost all of the
pup's daily care, especially his feeding. This will make the kid very
special to the pup.

5. The confidence-building effect of a basic obedience class, around
other well-controlled dogs, not directly interacting with them, just
learning to understand that he is safe with you, and earns all sorts of
praise and rewards for learning to work with you, may be extremely
helpful in developing strategies to work through the last couple of fear
stages... as well as this one. Classes will be starting right after New
Years...so I'd ask at your vet clinic for which schools/clubs/trainers
are the best, and enroll now.

NOT IF YOU PRAISE HIM.

Cause he knows it's time for MOORE jerking and choking.
That INCREASES anxiety even as he REPRESSES his
anxiety, and THAT'S HOWE COME behavior problems
CHANGE to other, seemingly non related behavior problems
as REPLACEMENT or TRAINSFER behaviors.

> Sometimes I will put the leash on him and hand it to my son.

On accHOWENT of the entire time the dog has
been REPRESSING HIS FEARS while on lead
with your son his ANXIETY INCREASES and
when the CONTROL is relieved, the dog reverts
back to a HEIGHTENED LEVEL of his FEAR.

When the dog is digging out to beat the

any ear pinch, you are finished

This is continued resistance to your

If the dog drops it, chuck it solidly

Koehler Method Of Dog
Training
by Koehler, W R
Published by HOWELL BOOK
HOUSE (0876056575,

========================================================

Here's some quotes and some methods right
outta your koehler book professor "SCRUFF SHAKE and scream "NO!"
into its
face for 5
seconds:"

"The Koehler Method of Dog Training (1962). New York:
Howell Book Book House(p. 52-53)."

Hanging

"First, the trainer makes certain that the collar
and leash are more than adequate for any jerk
or strain that the dog's most frantic actions could cause. Then
he starts
to work the dog deliberately and fairly to the point where the dog
makes his
grab.

Before the teeth have reached their target,
the dog, weight permitting, is jerked from
the ground.

As in coping with some of the afore-mentioned problems the dog is
suspended
in mid-air.

However, to let the biting dog recover
his footing while he still had the strength
to renew the attack would be cruelty.

The only justifiable course is to hold him
suspended until he has neither the strength
nor inclination to renew the fight.

When finally it is obvious that he is
physically incapable of expressing his
resentment and is lowered to the ground,
he will probably stagger loop-legged for a
few steps, vomit once or twice, and roll
over on his side.

The sight of a dog lying, thick-tongued,
on his side, is not pleasant, but do not
let it alarm you

THE REAL "HOOD"

"If your dog is a real "hood" who would
regard the foregoing types of protest as
"kid stuff" and would express his
resentment of your efforts by biting,
your problem is difficult -- and pressing.

"Professional trainers often get these
extreme problems. Nearly always the
"protest biter" is the handiwork of a
person who, by avoiding situations that
the dog might resent, has nurtured the
seeds of rebellion and then cultivated
the resultant growth with under correction.

When these people reap their inevitable
and oftentimes painful harvest, they are
ready to avail themselves of "the cruel
trainer" whose advice they may have
once rejected because it was incompatible
with the sugary droolings of mealy-
mouthed columnists, breed-ring biddies,
and dog psychologists who, by the
broken skins and broken hearts their
misinformation causes, can be proven guilty
of the greatest act of cruelty to animals
since the dawn of time.

"With more genuine compassion for the
biting dog than would ever be demonstrated
by those who are "too kind" to make a
correction and certainly with more disregard
for his safety, the professional trainer
morally feels obligated to perform a "major
operation."

"Since we are presently concerned with
the dog that bites in resentment of the
demands of training, we will set our
example in that situation. (In a later
chapter we will deal with the with the
much easier problem of the dog that
bites someone other than his master."

Are we havin FUN yet?

jerk and choke them on pronged spiked pinch
choke collars and shock and spray aversives in
their faces and beat them with your training stick
and lock them in boxes.

HOWEDY Group,

Here some SUCCESS STORIES ive had using JERRY'S MANUAL

1) My dogz, two bitches - Vicious, barking, aggressive, pulled
on leash, wanted to kill any dogs they saw, fought between
each other. TWO WEEKS using Jerry's manual, they were calm,
friends, my companions.

2) ADDED A BEAGLE PUPPY (male) to my "PACK", the
girls had -NO PROBLEMS- with him from the moment I
dropped him by their noses.

3) My FRIENDS dogs 2 MALES barking and jumping
at the fence all night 3 DAYS TRAINING WITH JERRY'S
MANUAL they were CALMED AND HAVEN'T BARKED ONCE!

Added a NEW MALE DOG (2 yrs old) AND
WELCOMED HIM WITH NO WUCKAS !

4) POODLE that ATE food from the KITCHEN BENCH -
lock him in a box? NO! USE JERRYS MANUAL! 4 DAYS
AND HES NEVER DONE IT SINCE!

5) ABUSED DOGS AT THE SHELTER I WORK AT -
HAD TO BE FED WITH A BUCKET ON A STICK -
ONE WEEK ON JERRYS MANUAL, THE SUPERVISOR
TOLD ME TO PUT THEM IN THE PUBLIC KENNELS
FOR SALE !

Quite amazing to - I thought they were just dull coloured
dogs, but after I had removed the fear and anxiety their
hairs coloured up amazingly.

6) STAFFY FEMALE who would NOT DROP HER
BALL! She carried it around all day and night - 3
DAYS on jerrys MANUAL and she now DROPS
it when u ASK her to!

BWHWHAHAHAHAAHA !!!!

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!

NEVYN and my Dogs, Rizzo and Midget, My Grandparents
dogs, Dusty and Snoopy, and my friends pup, Jazz.
