Mom used to get so disgusted. SHe would say to the cat who had just jumped
on the screen to be let in for the 50th time on a nice day "In or out! In or
out! Make up you mind!"

HOWEDY Bobcat,

It's the same same as dogs and ANY behaivor problem.

Dogs an kats DO THAT to get your 100% undivided attention.'

Then you gotta PRAISE him.

IT MEAANS you AIN'T PRAISED HIM.

Naaah, THAT'S ALL WRONG!

Of curse, on accHOWENT of YOU AIN'T PRAISED HIM.

NO! That's IDIOCY.

You gotta PRAISE BAD BEHAVIORS.

Until i read the Jerry method of Bark
reduction, it went something like this
with our 11 month old puppy "Yoshi"

Yoshi: Bark, bark,

us: HUSH Youshi

Yoshi Bark, bark......................

us: Hush Youshi

Yoshi BARK, BARK, BARK, ...............

it stopped when Yoshi got tired barking

We decided to try the Jerry method

Yoshi: BARK, BARK

US: GOOD Yoshi, Good Boy, who is it?

Yoshi Bark, Bark

US: It's ok, good boy Yoshi, We know them.

Yosh without fail, now stops after we say that.

I must say, it is so much more fun, when we
can praise him, to deal with things like this.

Thanks Jerry

ps: We are just starting to go thru the Jerry
Papers, and learn how to live with our son

"Yoshi", whom we love very much. --
Best Regards,
Estel J. Hines

Well I just printed out the Amazing Puppy
Wizard info, so I haven't actually started
to train yet.

Today a salesman knocked on the door,
and Pokey was going balisstic. I calmly
go to the window to see who it is, and
off-handly say Good Boy, It's a stranger,
Good Boy. Pokey shut right up, gave me
a quizical look, and came and sat beside
my feet!

OMG, I could not believe it!

I was totally floored, as this has been his
behavior since a pup. Just wanted to update,
and Pokey and I are hitting the sack...;)

Hello.

I never posted here (or anywhere) before.
I never trained or owned a dog before this
year.

I downloaded the Wit's End, read it, corresponded
with Mr. Howe and trained my dog to come and to
stop barking in a weekend.

Our dog, Jake, had been treated with kindness the
whole time we had him, about 10 months, but his
earlier life is unknown.

I worked on the hot-cold exercise for about 30
minutes when he suddenly "got it". After that
he came to me every time with no hesitation.

I used the cans filled with pennies to teach him
not to bark. If he now starts to bark, I go to the
door or window, say "Good Boy, its' alright" and
he usually calms down right away.

A couple of times I had to get the cans
out again to reinforce the behavior.

We feel a strong bond with this animal
and he is very eager to accept our love.

So with all the vitriolic spewing going on,
I have to believe Mr. Howe is right.

His method worked for us.

I don't know if it would have been quite
as effective if we had tried another method first.

Re: Barking Deterrants Needed...

Hi. Please understand that I do not know Jerry
and have spoken with him briefly once by email.

I have no stake or interest in the success of  his
business.  I simply want to thank him publicly for
one of his tips, with regards to separation anxiety.

I thought it seemed far fetched to praise a stuffed
animal and then say good bye to my own dog, but
I am usually a very open minded person, so I tried it.

Well, lo and behold- the damn trick worked!

I think Jerry has some intriguing techniques, and
personally I think everyone who constantly criticizes
him is not understanding his logic.

Thank you Jerry!

         "Only the unenlightened speak of wisdom and right action
                       as separate, not the wise.

             If any man knows one, he enjoys the fruit of both.

                  The level which is reached by wisdom
                             is attained
                      through right action as well.

          He who perceives that the two are one knows the truth."

           "Even the wise man acts in character with his nature,
           indeed all creatures act according to their natures.

                   What is the use of compulsion then?

                  The love and hate which are aroused
               by the objects of sense arise from Nature,
                         do not yield to them.

Cali plays a similar game when I go down to the basement. She walks around
to all the doors waiting for me to open them, so she can inspect the
contents. I gave up arguing with her long ago. The Workshop is the only
place she is not allowed (unless cleaned up) and also the first door she
insists be opened.

Smokey is a little more impertinent. Smokey has always stood by the corner
of the couch and howled for her bowl. But lately she's been howling for
other things. I would get up to get her bowl, but she would not follow.
After finding her in my seat when I got back from the bowl trip a few times.
I realized that she was trying to tell me I was in her seat. She said I was
a dumb slave having taken so long to figure out this rouse.

Yes, very familiar. Frank sometimes used to go around and open all
cupboard and closet doors. When he'd opened them all, he was satisfied
and could go to sleep for the rest of the day.

Miranda always wants to be on the other side of the door to the
enclosure. In the winter, it's too cold to keep it open all the time,
but happily it's warm enough now to have it open all day. I close it for
the night, though (my bed is right beside the door), and she always gets
a panic attack when I close it. She runs around the flat screaming 'OH
NO SHE SHUT THE DOOR WE ARE GOING TO SUFFOCATE!! SAVE YOURSELF, CALIBAN,
WE WILL NEVER GET OUT OF HERE AGAIN!!!'

Caliban is scratching at the closet doors right now, but then he knows
there is a big bag of food for him that I packed for my brother to take
to the island on one of his spring trips there.

Today  miners were saved after 14 days after a rock fall trapped them  1
kilometer underground in a gold mine in Tasmania. it took many days of
tunnelling through rock 13 meters to reach them. The tunnel was 1 meter
wide,  the miners were kept alive with a 10 cm pipe which supplied them with
water and food,  for the days they were trapped.  They were in a small
cramped area,  not able to stand or walk about.  They reached the surface at
6 am this morning.  unbelievably they walked out to the waiting ambulances !
They are in good condition,  the whole nation will sleep better tonight.
