Has anyone ever tried to housebreak their dog with a diaper? I heard it can
be done and have seen the diapers for dogs of the internet but I am not sure
if I believe it. I am desperate, my puppy is driving me nuts by not
training.

What's the point? Is the dog incontinent?
HOWEsbreakin is INSTINCTIVE. If you
got a HOWEsbreaking problem it's EITHER
on accHOWENT of the dog is SICK or UNHAPPY.

> I heard it can be done

It takes some of HOWER EXXXPERTS two
years or MOORE to HOWEsbreak their dogs.
Sometimes it NEVER happens.

The PROBLEM isn't the diaper or not, the PROBLEM
is HOWEsbreaking is INSTINCTIVE and shouldn't
take MOORE than a couple days to teach a dog to
ask to go HOWET and relieve hisself when and
where he's asked.

But that won't happen if you lock IT in a box.
And it won't happen if you follow the advice
of the lying dog abusing punk thug cowards
and active long term incurable MENTAL CASES
you're askin here abHOWETS.

It helped clear problems from my dogs in the
field using the can penny distraction technique.

Works like a charm.

My dogs get distracted easy from their jobs ie,
retrieving or training to find lost people, oh did
I mention that I am a Search and Rescue Team
Leader.

Sorry that slipped my mind.

I have read volumes of training books and don't
know where people get that Jerry copied others
work as I have NEVER come across his methods
before. I would like to see proof.

Just like Jerry outlined I eliminated problems one
at at time as they arose. I used to try and train to
the way I wanted them but this is backward, you
train out the problems leaving what you want left over.

Funny part is the second dog who had the same
problems as the other didn't need correcting for
some of his habits after I cleared it from the first
dog.

Seemed he learned through osmosis.

Nice side benefit there.

It nearly came to giving them up to a 3rd party
trainer as they were not performing well. The
VAST majority of working dog trainers are
agressive in their actions with the dogs.

I tried it and it didn't work and guess what I
was at my "Whits End" then someone I new
turned me onto Jerry and the rest is history.

I referred friends and families to Jerry's manual
and all have had great results. Starting puppies
out on the distraction technique is especially
good because they never develop the habit.

I had my sisters dog healing, sitting and down
stay reliably at 8-9 weeks. The first night home
following Jerrys advice we ditched the crate and
put the pup on the floor beside the bed and after
2 whimpers NOT A SOUND OUT OF THAT DOG
FOR 6 HRS! first night, that has never happened
in all my days.

Sorry, the man understands dogs its that simple.

Date: 2003-10-08 16:18:56 PST

I've been having a problem with my dog, Axel,
relieving himself in the house while I'm away
from home.

I've used TPW method's, and yesterday I was out
for 12 hours, and Axel didn't have one single "accident".

Today, I had hoped that the results would be just as
good - and they were (I was out for 11 hours).

The problem began when, as a puppy, Axel would
relieve himself in the house and I would point at the
mess and tell him "NO" or "Bad Dog".

That made him afraid to relieve himself in the house
or infront of me.

After I got TPW's training manual, I corrected my
mishandling of these instances.

When I came home to an "accident", I would simply
drop a can near the area and ask Axel "What's that?"
Then I would clean it up - with out showing him I was
the least bit upset about the mess, and when he looked
at the spot I would tell him "Good boy, you're a good dog".

This has been an ongoing problem, and thanks to the
Puppy Wizard, we've finally got it taken care of...

Also, Axel LOVES the cat's litter box...He enjoys the
"snacks" he can find in there...I followed TPW's methods
by alternating sounds and praising him while or before
he sticks his nose in it, and today, he's been going into
the room with the cat box and barking. That's because
he's thinking about getting into the box, but he knows he
shouldn't.

Thank you, Jerry, for all you help. You've been a
blessing to all of us.

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

From: AIMEE (countrygirl0334@yahoo.com):

I own a black an tan coonhound. We got him
as a puppy, and due to constant mishandling
(pulling on his lead, negative corrections, and
the occasional use of a bark collar) I ended
up with a very anxious dog.

I couldn't leave him home alone, I couldn't
crate him, I couldn't even take my dog for
walks because he feared EVERYTHING.

I was going to have to get rid of him if things
didn't turn around.

My husband and I searched the internet for
answers - AND WE FOUND THE PUPPY WIZARD.

For all of you disbeliveers out there HIS METHODS WORK!

I've followed his manual, and we now have a
dog that can be left home alone, that heels
on command, that can go outside and NOT
be afraid of everything he sees.

Not only have his methods helped our dog, but
our marriage has gotten better. We had fallen
into a rut - constant bickering and tension, we
never laughed or had FUN together - but now,
with the same mindset used in THE PUPPY
WIZARDS dog training, our communications
channels have opened, and we now work
together instead of against one another.

For all the "Literalists" out there, NO WE DID
NOT TEACH EACH OTHER TO SIT, STAY,
OR HEEL.

We simply eliminated the nagging and the
acting out to get NEGATIVE attention from
one another since we weren't getting
the POSITIVE attention we wanted.

So, it's been proven - THE PUPPY WIZARDS
METHODS WORK.

It's up to you to accept them. Yes, there's alot
of blame that we have to accept, but once we
realize that we've caused these problems to
arise, we can strive to make things better.

I live in an apartment complex that accepts dogs. I
have recommended your web site and your training
manual to quite a few pet owners. Unfortunately, it
seems to be human nature for them to not address
training until their dog's behavior problems become
serious.

Several people have seen me out working with Kit. They
cannot believe it when I am able to call a 7 week old
pup away from them. Those who have pups of their own
say that they are waiting until their pups are older
in order to begin training. I tell them to begin now.
But they don't know what to do.

Have you ever seen the movie "Gremlins"? The Mogwai
comes with three rules: 1) keep out of bright light,
2) keep away from water and 3) never feed after
midnight. Of course disaster befalls the new owners
because they don't take these rules seriously. When I
last watched this movie I thought to myself, how
similar it was to getting a new puppy. Just as does a
Mogwai, a puppy has a nature that demands proper
handling and just as it will with a cute little
Mogwai, mishandling will turn your cute little puppy
into a gremlin.

Subject: Kit rules PetsMart Puppy Playtime

Hello Jerry,

The experts say to take your puppy to puppy
classes to socialize them with other puppies.

Kit went to Puppy Playtime at PetsMart today.

I guess that I fail to see what Kit could learn
from those unruly puppies except perhaps
some bad behaviors.

Anyway he mostly lay there quietly and watched.
He wasn't' scared or apprehensive and he didn't
mind approaching other dogs if they seemed willing.

But it was a mad house-a beagle sounding off, a
boxer jumping on everyone, a bull dog pushing his
way around, a Great Dane tripping over everyone,
a little pug barking and poor little Kit getting trampled
because he was so much smaller than everyone else.

Once, he got a bit defensive and snarled and yipped
when this one bigger terrier kept picking on him
(scratching him hard).

Several people commented to me how calm Kit
seemed to be. They wondered if it were a breed
characteristic.

I told them that it was my training method, but
most of them seemed to just get that look in
their eye that says "Yea, yea".

But this one lady seemed interested so I referred
her to your web site. She had a rescued dog which
she held in her arms and it would snap at other
dogs when she gave them any attention.

She would immediately grab her little dog's muzzle
and squeeze it tightly. She finally confided in me
that it did the same to her husband and to her 25lb
cat.

I told her that it was going to get worse and
worse if she didn't address it immediately.

I know that carrying that dog around like she
does and tucking him tight under her arm
when another dog approaches is exasperating
her dog's behavior. I told her so. She said that
she would immediately go to doggydoright.com.

I hope she does.

I hope you realize that it takes a while to train a puppy. They don't learn in
a week or two (unless you have an extraordinary dog). It takes patience,
consistency, positive training, and taking the new pup out once an hour or so
at the beginning.

The diapers and dog-panties you see are NOT for housetraining! They are
for older dogs that have lost control and for bitches in heat to keep
the house clean from the discharge. Using something like this will only
keep the dog from learning to control urination and defecation...
because is doesn't have to make the effort.

Set up a schedule for meals and nap time and bed time, and play time.
Pups should go outside, on leash to eliminate (this way you Know when
the job is done); just stand in one place until it "goes"... then let it
explore or pla a bit. Pups have to "go" after sleeping, playing hard,
or eating ( about 10-20 minutes after eating), and about every couple of
hours, at first. Many will need a trip or two outside during the night
for a few weeks. Don't let your pup have free run of the house; dogs
are den animals, and to a pup, the whole house, or even a big room,
seems like the whole world, not a den. Crating the pup when you are
gone, asleep, or otherwise can't directly supervise will support your
other efforts, and will be the pup's den. When you use a routine like
this, your pup can be accident free, or almost so very soon... HOWEVER!
The pup will not have the necessary control for long periods for several
months.... I don't consider my guys fully housetrained until there has
been no "sinning" for 3-5 weeks, at about 10-12 months.

No punishment for accidents. If he squats indoors and you see it,
startle the pup to interupt the act and grab up and get outside. Reward
success outside with praise (and I add a Cheerio). Clean up accidents
with NO cleaning agents (unless there is poop) by soaking up in paper
towels, wiping with plain water, then soak the area with an enzyme-based
product such as Nature's Miracle or pet store Simple Solution.

You can do it.

10-12 months???

My puppy is 4 months. I've had him since he was 6 weeks old. He is still
peeing in the house, on beds and anywhere he is. I take him out every hour,
and feed him at 3 different times during the day (no food otherwise). His
water is down for him constantly though (I'd hate to have to limit it). He
pees before bed and 1st thing in the morning. He is good about waking me up
to pee by licking my face (yes he sleeps in my bed). he goes out after
eating too. I am getting frustrated.

That so? You think a dog is gonna relieve hisself

You're a bigger idiot than you've already proven.

Yeah. That's HOWE COME it SEEMS QUEER

after IT has done ITS business.

PROBLEMO, jo. If you take the dog HOWET
every couple HOWERS the dog will NEED
to be taken HOWET every couple HOWERS.

Perhaps it'd be WIZE to train the dog to ASK
to go HOWET when IT needs to go instead of
your false arbritrary rigid schedule?

That so? leah MURDERED her DEAD DOG

That's INSANE, jo. Dogs HOWEsbreak INSTINCIVELY

On accHOWENT of you AVOID any

IT DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO

THAT'S HOWE COME it takes you MONTHS

Dogs are seldom ABANDONED. They GET DUMPED

Whatever. HOWEsbreakin is INSTINCTIVE. If your

To hurt and intimidate him.

It helped clear problems from my dogs in the
field using the can penny distraction technique.

Works like a charm.

My dogs get distracted easy from their jobs ie,
retrieving or training to find lost people, oh did
I mention that I am a Search and Rescue Team
Leader.

Sorry that slipped my mind.

I have read volumes of training books and don't
know where people get that Jerry copied others
work as I have NEVER come across his methods
before. I would like to see proof.

Just like Jerry outlined I eliminated problems one
at at time as they arose. I used to try and train to
the way I wanted them but this is backward, you
train out the problems leaving what you want left over.

Funny part is the second dog who had the same
problems as the other didn't need correcting for
some of his habits after I cleared it from the first
dog.

Seemed he learned through osmosis.

Nice side benefit there.

It nearly came to giving them up to a 3rd party
trainer as they were not performing well. The
VAST majority of working dog trainers are
agressive in their actions with the dogs.

I tried it and it didn't work and guess what I
was at my "Whits End" then someone I new
turned me onto Jerry and the rest is history.

I referred friends and families to Jerry's manual
and all have had great results. Starting puppies
out on the distraction technique is especially
good because they never develop the habit.

I had my sisters dog healing, sitting and down
stay reliably at 8-9 weeks. The first night home
following Jerrys advice we ditched the crate and
put the pup on the floor beside the bed and after
2 whimpers NOT A SOUND OUT OF THAT DOG
FOR 6 HRS! first night, that has never happened
in all my days.

Sorry, the man understands dogs its that simple.

I've been having a problem with my dog, Axel,
relieving himself in the house while I'm away
from home.

I've used TPW method's, and yesterday I was out
for 12 hours, and Axel didn't have one single "accident".

Today, I had hoped that the results would be just as
good - and they were (I was out for 11 hours).

The problem began when, as a puppy, Axel would
relieve himself in the house and I would point at the
mess and tell him "NO" or "Bad Dog".

That made him afraid to relieve himself in the house
or infront of me.

After I got TPW's training manual, I corrected my
mishandling of these instances.

When I came home to an "accident", I would simply
drop a can near the area and ask Axel "What's that?"
Then I would clean it up - with out showing him I was
the least bit upset about the mess, and when he looked
at the spot I would tell him "Good boy, you're a good dog".

This has been an ongoing problem, and thanks to the
Puppy Wizard, we've finally got it taken care of...

Also, Axel LOVES the cat's litter box...He enjoys the
"snacks" he can find in there...I followed TPW's methods
by alternating sounds and praising him while or before
he sticks his nose in it, and today, he's been going into
the room with the cat box and barking. That's because
he's thinking about getting into the box, but he knows he
shouldn't.

Thank you, Jerry, for all you help. You've been a
blessing to all of us.

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

From: AIMEE (countrygirl0334@yahoo.com):

I own a black an tan coonhound. We got him
as a puppy, and due to constant mishandling
(pulling on his lead, negative corrections, and
the occasional use of a bark collar) I ended
up with a very anxious dog.

I couldn't leave him home alone, I couldn't
crate him, I couldn't even take my dog for
walks because he feared EVERYTHING.

I was going to have to get rid of him if things
didn't turn around.

My husband and I searched the internet for
answers - AND WE FOUND THE PUPPY WIZARD.

For all of you disbeliveers out there HIS METHODS WORK!

I've followed his manual, and we now have a
dog that can be left home alone, that heels
on command, that can go outside and NOT
be afraid of everything he sees.

Not only have his methods helped our dog, but
our marriage has gotten better. We had fallen
into a rut - constant bickering and tension, we
never laughed or had FUN together - but now,
with the same mindset used in THE PUPPY
WIZARDS dog training, our communications
channels have opened, and we now work
together instead of against one another.

For all the "Literalists" out there, NO WE DID
NOT TEACH EACH OTHER TO SIT, STAY,
OR HEEL.

We simply eliminated the nagging and the
acting out to get NEGATIVE attention from
one another since we weren't getting
the POSITIVE attention we wanted.

So, it's been proven - THE PUPPY WIZARDS
METHODS WORK.

It's up to you to accept them. Yes, there's alot
of blame that we have to accept, but once we
realize that we've caused these problems to
arise, we can strive to make things better.

I live in an apartment complex that accepts dogs. I
have recommended your web site and your training
manual to quite a few pet owners. Unfortunately, it
seems to be human nature for them to not address
training until their dog's behavior problems become
serious.

Several people have seen me out working with Kit. They
cannot believe it when I am able to call a 7 week old
pup away from them. Those who have pups of their own
say that they are waiting until their pups are older
in order to begin traini ng.Itellthemtobeginnow.
But they don'tknowwhattodo.

Have you ever seen the movie "Gremlins"? The Mogwai
comes with three rules: 1) keep out of bright light,
2) keep away from water and 3) never feed after
midnight. Of course disaster befalls the new owners
because they don't take these rules seriously. When I
last watched this movie I thought to myself, how
similar it was to getting a new puppy. Just as does a
Mogwai, a puppy has a nature that demands proper
handling and just as it will with a cute little
Mogwai, mishandling will turn your cute little puppy
into a gremlin.

Subject: Kit rules PetsMart Puppy Playtime

Hello Jerry,

The experts say to take your puppy to puppy
classes to socialize them with other puppies.

Kit went to Puppy Playtime at PetsMart today.

I guess that I fail to see what Kit could learn
from those unruly puppies except perhaps
some bad behaviors.

Anyway he mostly lay there quietly and watched.
He wasn't' scared or apprehensive and he didn't
mind approaching other dogs if they seemed willing.

But it was a mad house-a beagle sounding off, a
boxer jumping on everyone, a bull dog pushing his
way around, a Great Dane tripping over everyone,
a little pug barking and poor little Kit getting trampled
because he was so much smaller than everyone else.

Once, he got a bit defensive and snarled and yipped
when this one bigger terrier kept picking on him
(scratching him hard).

Several people commented to me how calm Kit
seemed to be. They wondered if it were a breed
characteristic.

I told them that it was my training method, but
most of them seemed to just get that look in
their eye that says "Yea, yea".

But this one lady seemed interested so I referred
her to your web site. She had a rescued dog which
she held in her arms and it would snap at other
dogs when she gave them any attention.

She would immediately grab her little dog's muzzle
and squeeze it tightly. She finally confided in me
that it did the same to her husband and to her 25lb
cat.

I told her that it was going to get worse and
worse if she didn't address it immediately.

I know that carrying that dog around like she
does and tucking him tight under her arm
when another dog approaches is exasperating
her dog's behavior. I told her so. She said that
she would immediately go to doggydoright.com.

I hope she does.

THAT'S THE OTHER PART OF THE PROBLEM.

The dog has LEARNED to CON-TROLL his people
by relieving hisself. CONSTANT SUPERVISIION
teaches the dog all IT gotta do is squat and he'll
get your undivided attention and a cookie.

Have you ever seen the movie "Gremlins"? The Mogwai
comes with three rules: 1) keep out of bright light,
2) keep away from water and 3) never feed after
midnight. Of course disaster befalls the new owners
because they don't take these rules seriously. When I
last watched this movie I thought to myself, how
