Aggressive cat - long winded post (sorry)

Sharon - 24 Apr 2007 03:16 GMT Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any advice they can give me.
My nephew had to go interstate so left me his female cat. She is only 4 years old and in very good health.
However, I already have two beautiful cats who are inside cats only. Anyway, I introduced "Ginger" to them.... that didn't go well. Ginger hates them and would appear to hate all cats.
So Ginger became an outside cat, while my girls remain inside cats and the three very rarely met. But about two months ago my neighbours poor starving pregnant cat started hanging around for food. As she looked so sickly I began to feed her. That was okay because the mother cat lived on the carport roof, Ginger on the ground. Until the mother cat had her kittens and started coming into the backyard looking for food and I think a new home.
Ginger has had a fit.. she growls, yells, screams... if I try to pick her up she bites me, takes swipes at me and she is getting a lot worse. Last night it was raining so I tried to bring Ginger into the sunroom and she went crazy. I just don't know what to do.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sharon.

It would also appear, from your description, that Ginger needs to live as the only cat in her household/territory. Obviously that's opposite of your current situation.
If you haven't already, ask your nephew about what Ginger's disposition was before you took her in.
You might also do well to have her checked out by a vet, to rule out any physical maladies that might be causing her aggression. Put on a pair of thick gloves, get her in a carrier, and see what the vet can determine and/or recommend.

Sharon - 26 Apr 2007 04:36 GMT Hi,
Thanks very much for your posts..
Ginger is de-sexed and microchip. There are so many cats around our neighbourhood, finding Ginger a new home will be almost impossible. Especially with her volatile nature.
The link that "Noon Cat Nick" sent is excellent and now added to my bookmarks. It has a few suggestions that I will try. I
Once again, thanks everyone for your posts.

This may not be the appropriate solution for Ginger, but I thought I would take the opportunity to post it anyway, and it also may help out someone else. Best regards, ---Cindy S.
Sharon - 27 Apr 2007 01:21 GMT Hi,
Ginger lived in the Blue Mountains on quite a large property, the only other cats around were ferals which she use to get into fights with.
I am perhaps giving misleading information, Ginger isn't always aggressive. She can on occasions be a delightful and beautiful cat. She only re-acts badly when the neighbours cats come visiting. I try to chase the cats out of the backyard and back onto the carport roof. (With not a lot of success).
The site you sent me to does suggest at the last resort medication. I am taking Ginger to the vets tomorrow and will have her checked out and have a chat with them.
In Ginger's perfect world there would be no other cats - trying to find her a new home will be difficult. I am not too sure how many people would put up with her bad moods and aggressive behaviour. She and I need to try to work this out...

Charlie Wilkes - 24 Apr 2007 08:12 GMT > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Any suggestions would be appreciated. What a shame. I'm not sure what the best solution is, but it would be nice if you could do something to help the kittens and their poor mother as well as Ginger. It sounds like the mother cat is not really your neighbor's cat so much as a stray cat that lives in your neighbor's carport. Perhaps you could find an animal protection group that would spay her free or cheap so at least she doesn't have any more litters.
Anyway, good luck.

Spot - 24 Apr 2007 15:26 GMT I think I would see about finding all the outside cats homes including ginger. Some cats just do not like other cats and obviously she needs to be in a home where she's the only cat.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to tell you all of an encouraging experience I had with a wheelchair bound lady and her "aggressive" cat.
The lovely kitty is generally high strung, very protective of the lady and fearful of unknown people and noises. And after biting and scratching people who worked helping her, the owner was convinced she would not be able to keep the cat, as much as that upset her.
I heard of the kitty and contacted the shelter for the owner to see if they would take her and they couldn't say yes no knowing why the cat had bites. If aggression was a personality trait for the cat they might not be able to take her.
I spoke to the lady about trying to change the behavior before she makes a choice on giving up the cat. She was all for it. So I took my Doggy Do Right box over there and set it up for her. The owner kept it on the second setting for a few days then switched to the third setting for the next week or so.
When I called to check on them the owner said, "ya know, that thing really works!"
Her cat is now allowing strangers in the apartment without threatening them, or batting them with her paw. She said kitty calmly checks out the new people and then goes to lay down the floor. She is so happy:-)
now she wants her own DDR.
This is a kitty a lot of different people were telling the owner was too much for her to deal with. She's only had the machine for about 3 weeks and the kitty is doing great:-)
I'm so happy this worked out and had to let you all know again what a great tool the DDR is.
The machine could help many more animals become "adoptable" or be able to remain in their homes. Everyone in animal care should give it an honest try.

Hi Everyone:
I posted a question about a new puppy in a home with 2 established cats. I received 1 post that was helpful. The rest were insane. I have been reading other posts as well.
You people are totally NUTS! I have never seen a newsgroup with so many lunatics. You people should be striving for Darwin Awards.

The pup won't mess up the HOWES if he's TRAINED. That takes about two HOWERS of EZ work as taught FOR FREE in The Puppy Wizzzard's FREE WWW Wits' End Dog Training Method Manual.

Dogs seldom have ACCIDENTS. When dogs foul the HOWES it's usually because they're ANXIOUS or you've TAUGHT him to do things when your back is turned by your CORRECTIONS RESTRICTIONS, CONFINEMENT, and PUNISHMENT...

Hi Jerry,
I received email from Mark Shaw on 10/6 which I just read today. Sorry I didn't have time to get to it sooner. We have had a lot going on in our area concerning animals. We formed a new Task Force to address spay/neuter, pet overpopulation and animal abuse. I needed to do a lot of research before the first meeting and time was just not available for anything else.
Anyway the letter went on to say that we are in collusion, I tried to defraud him, and have sent none of the materials that he has asked for although he has yet to furnish the P. O. Box number that he wanted them sent to in the first place. He goes on to state that I am no longer eligible for the "fictions reward." All of this is in answer to postings that prove I was "sharing" his email with you which in his opinion was a breach of good manners. His email only had terms and conditions of the reward which I would consider "public information."
Be that as it may, I would like to state that you had my permission to post any email I have sent you regarding DDR including this email.
I'm very sorry that you have to put up with this type of situation from someone that obviously never intended to make good on his reward offer in the first place.
I had a call from a friend of mine with a very aggressive cat. I have loaned her my DDR for a few weeks to see if it will calm JR down. I will let you know the results. She goes to the same holistic vet that I go to and he is also interested.
In case Mark does post to the list again I would like to say that I do very much believe that DDR will help JR as I know it has helped my dogs and cats. I have entirely too much to do, to worry about his opinions or reward.
The only reason I was willing to apply for the reward was on your behalf as I do think your product is a valuable tool in helping with aggression and other behavior problems.
I am in Feral Cat Network (we spay and neuter approximately 100 feral cats a month), I am also a member of a local AKC dog obedience club, member of a local AKC agility club, president of Pet Rescue, board member of the Alliance for Care and Welfare of Animals (on the board are: county commissioner, vet. rep., rep. from AKC dog club, CFA cat club, assistant County manager, head of animal control, director of two different shelters, etc.) and Space Coast Feline Network http://www.spacecoastfelinenetwork.com
I listed these not to be on an ego trip but to let Mark know that I am involved with animals and have very little time to play games with him also I would not recommend your product if I did not believe in it.
Please feel free to post this email as it has no copyright on it as did Mark Shaw's last email to me.
Take care Jerry and don't let the Mark's of the world get you down.
Elaine

Thank you, Elaine. I have been trying to educate the mark's of this world, with some occasional successes. I guess that's variable reinforcement? -

Hi Jerry,
Well, we have been running Doggy Do Right for awhile (3 weeks) now and would appear that it is working. We are still on the lowest setting but my cat aggressive dog is now much calmer with the little fur balls getting near her. Not perfect but much improved! I do think that you need a more universal name as it appears to have drastically cut the spraying problem down that we have with our crowded cat situation. I am going to send an e-mail to Domesti-Cats club, Feral Cat Network and Space Cats Club as a lot of the members have some of the same problems with their cats. It has also lessened the number of nightly cat fights.
Thanks, Elaine
-----------------------
Hi Jerry,
I wrote to you a week or so ago about the unit. I have since borrowed one from Elaine Mc Clung. She speaks very highly of it.
So, I brought it home and plugged it in. Of course, I wanted it to come on, all the barking stop, and have every one immediately fall to the floor in little comas for a few hours. Well, after I got all 27 of them to be quiet, still no comas. But, it had only been 36 seconds at that point. So, I gave it a little longer. Still no comas. Was this really going to work? I mean, I do have an unusual situation.
So, by bedtime, a few hours later. I started to notice just how many were asleep already - with their feet in the air! I started to have hope. During the night, all was calm. In the morning when I got up, only a few of them WALKED quietly to the door to go out. Not the usual evacuation.
I had the unit from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday Morning. I was certainly pleased with the night effect. I wasn't so sure about the amount of the day time effect. Until I took it back. Within half an hour, the monsters had resurfaced. I wondered if I could break into Elaine's house and if she would notice :)
I know another person who does dog rescue. She rescues Beagles. She has 23 in an 1100 square foot house. God bless her. She is interested to see if it will work for her. I also spoke to someone else who does cat rescue, and she is interested. The cat rescue people have monthly meetings. Maybe Elaine could give a word or two about it.
So, if there are any words of advice you can send my way about the best way to use it in my case, I would appreciate it. I of course wanted to keep it on the highest setting, but don't know if that is advised, even with my situation of so many new ones coming and (too few) going.
Also, how I and others can go about getting one, etc. I think the vets should have the info in their offices. It must help dogs with separation anxiety. My vet practices homeopathic as well as traditional medicine, so I would think it would be right up her alley.
Thank you. Desiree M Webber A New Leash On Life

"I ordered from Jerry a long time ago.. He was helpful and the order was filled promptly. Yes, Doggie Do Right does indeed exist.
I "had" a very aggressive female Pit.. She was showing aggression not only towards Dok, Rhodesian Ridgeback, but our cats and even us.
She now plays with Dok, even to the point of allowing him to take a toy or bone from her. She no longer shows any aggression towards us. She is showing some aggression towards the cats but that is down to a warning growl.
It is not just my opinion that all this aggression existed before Doggie Do Right as we were advised by three vets to euthanize her.
I do very much believe that DDR will help JR as I know it has helped my dogs and cats. I do think your product is a valuable tool in helping with aggression and other behavior problems.

Hi Jerry, (update 10/31/00)
Teddy, my friend, with the very alpha male Siamese cat reports all is well. She has been running DDR for well over a week now and JR has not beaten up on any of the other cats. Gillie the smallest female cat was living in the bathroom and JR was attacking her every day.
Teddy forgot to close the bathroom door the second day she had the DDR and came home to good news "no hair all over the room." Now she is leaving the bathroom door open all the time and JR has not attacked Gillie.
Gillie used to be able to sleep with Teddy on the bed but JR got soooo....bad he would almost maul her if she came into the bedroom. Teddy told me that yesterday Gillie came into the bedroom and JR just looked at her and ignored her.
Teddy is so grateful as she was considering putting JR outside or having him euthanized. Will update you in another week or so.
Thanks, Elaine.

Desiree (New Leash), is a member of the Space Cats Rescue in Melbourn, FL. She wrote me after using Doggy Do Right (and Kitty Will Too) for just TWO DAYS. She'd borrowed it from Elaine, but Elaine called her back and asked her to return it A.S.A.P., because she needed it to keep her problem cat from bullying the others. Her post wasn't sent as an endorsement, it was just her private email to me:
"I had the unit from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday Morning. I was certainly pleased with the night effect. I wasn't so sure about the amount of the day time effect. Until I took it back.

Hi, Lowest setting to us is when the machine is on the least number of times during the day. We are going to try putting it on the next setting and see if that will completely solve our problems. We are holding our breath at this point on the spraying and hoping that BIOSOUND continues to work. Will let you know. Yes, feel free to use my post. If you sell to people with cat spray problems though you might want to recommend that they do what we did.
We went through the house with BacTerminator an enzyme product that eats the cat urine. We have used Bac T. for a long time and it usually only slows them down for a week or two, so I know it is the BIOSOUND that has created the success we are seeing right now. We were resigned to constant cleaning and even then it was difficult to keep up with. I don't know if you have forgotten but we have 19 cats. Elaine.

From: "George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D." <drv...@mindspring.com To: <d...@arcane-computing.com Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 5:38 PM Subject: Doggy advice
Scott, Jerry Howe forwarded me the letter below. I'm glad that you referred negatively to Jerry's habit of CAPITALIZING and HOWEING everything.
I personally hate this habit of his. I think it is his way of diluting his authority - IME he is a very modest fellow. However, contrary to your sneer, he is very competent at living with dogs.
I thought I'd list a series of actions which I found on the list, folk asking advice on what to do about dogs doing this and that, for example:
whining, humping, hunching, pacing, self mutilation - paw licking, side sucking, spinning, prolonged barking, barking at shadows, overstimulated barking, fighting, bullying other dogs, compulsive digging, compulsive scratching, compulsive chewing, frantic behavior, chasing light, chasing shadow, stealing food, digging in garbage can, loosing house (toilet) training. inappropriate fearfulness aggression.
The thing that is fascinating to me, as an ethologist who graduated from college 50 years ago and has spent all of the intervening time working with animals (including the human animal), is that you never see any of these behaviors in wild dingoes, jackals, coyotes or wolves, you don't even see these behaviors in hyenas (who aren't dog related).
You see these behaviors in human managed animals, especially animals who live with neurotic hysterical humans.
As Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student) demonstrated for nearly 50 years at Ohio University (Oxford, O.) there is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving care.

Dear Jerry, I paged through some of the "dog business" and was astonished at the low quality of opinions arising from professors of behavior analysis.
I had the very great privilege of meeting Sam Corson (Pavlov's last Ph.D. student) and his dogs at Ohio University. I even got to spend a night at Sam's house.
There is no question but that you are a spiritual brother to Corson and to Pavlov, both of whom knew that the dog's great capacity for love was the key to shaping doggie behavior.
Paradoxical reward and paradoxical fixing of attention are both well documented Pavlovian techniques. Even so humorless a chap as B.F. Skinner taught students like the Breland's whose "The Misbehavior of Organisms" demonstrate the utility of your methods and their deep roots in scientific (as opposed to commercial) psychology.

Subject: God Bless The Puppy Wizard Dear Mr. Puppy Wizard,
I have, of late, come to recognize your genius and now must applaud your attempts to save animals from painful training procedures.
You are indeed a hero, a man of exceptional talent, who tirelessly devotes his days to crafting posts to alert the world to animal abuse.
We are lucky to have you, and more people should come to their senses and support your valuable work.
Have you thought of establishing a nonprofit charity to fund your important work? Have you thought about holding a press conference so others can learn of your highly worthwhile and significant work?
In closing, my only suggestion is that you try to keep your messages short for most readers may refuse to read a long message even if it is from the wise, heroic Puppy Wizard. I wish you well in your endeavors.

The Embry Study:
"While some may find it strange that reprimands might increase the chances of a child going into the street, the literature on the experimental analysis of behavior is replete with examples of how "attention to inappropriate behavior" increases the chances of more inappropriate behavior.
Thus, suggestions to parents that they talk to or reason with their children about dashing into the street will likely to have the opposite impact. Reprimands do not punish unsafe behavior; they reward it."

HOWEver, when REWARDS were moved to a delayed contingency the behavior and learning immediately deteriorated."
"It is NO WONDER that the marked changes in deviant behavior of children can be achieved through brief, simple educative routines with their mothers which modify the mother's social behaviors shaping the child (Whaler, 1966). Some clinics have reported ELIMINATION ofthe need for child THERAPY through changing the clinical emphasis from clinical to parental HANDLING of the child (Szrynski 1965).
A large number of cases improved sufficiently after preliminary contact with parents that NO treatment of children was required, and almost ALL cases SHOWE a remarkably shortened period for therapy. Quite severe cases of anorexia nervosa have been treated in own to five months by simply REPLACING the parents temporarily with EFFUSIVELY LOVING SUBSTITUTES (Groen, 1966)."

Jerry, I was cleaning up some old disks and found the attached essay of mine on reward/punishment - mostly anti-punishment.
I didn't find the Biblio, but lets hope its in there somewhere! I could probably find it in my book, IS THERE A SCIENCE OF BEHAVIOR as all the references are <1970 - but not on disk (1967!).
REWARD/PUNISHMENT
Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative reinforcement" (1958) nearly every learning theory model involves the use of punishment. Of course, Skinner has never, to my knowledge, demonstrated how we escape the phenomenon that an expected reward not received is experienced as a punishment and can product extensive and persistent aggression (Azrin et al, 1966.
Punishment deters some behavior; however, consistent punishment is least effective in a long run that includes cessation (Morgan, 1961; Hilgard, 1956; Skinner 1938). Behaviors punished reappear, and in the long run the total emission of a punished behavior is greater than when it is unpunished (Ferster and Skinner, 1957).
Punishment may enhance the value of an activity and cause it to be repeated more often (Aronson and Mills, 1959). As Festinger put it, "rats and people come to love things for which they have suffered" (1961).
Punishment inhibits responding in general, but neither the intensity or the frequency of punishment are related to training or to the extinction of a response (Smith et al, 1966).
Recent research contradicts the point of view that an animal becomes quiescent and mechanically produces the required response late in punishment training (Lyman, 1966). Appel and Peterson (1966) surveyed the punishment literature to conclude that punishment may be suppressive and confusing, but punishment does not control or eliminate behavior.
A mild shock is a more effective stimulus for avoidance learning than a strong shock. Animals are generally more responsive during mild punishment (Johnson and Church, 1965). Investigation of a wide range of shock frequencies shows that increase in intensity is accompanied by an increase in the disruption of learning (Levine, 1966; Skinner, 1958; Hilgard, 1957, Skinner, 1938).
See also: (Aronson and Mills, 1959). (Ferster and Skinner, 1957). (Lyman, 1966). Appel and Peterson (1966). (Johnson and Church, 1965). (Levine, 1966).
Prolonged shock makes rats less exploratory in new open fields (McKay, 1965). Aversive noise is even more destructive of the effectiveness of the motor system of neurotics than that of normal individuals (Jansen and Hoffman, 1965).
If a victim's avoidance of punishment causes a large reduction in the rate of the punishment he will repeat the avoidance more efficiently than if it does not. However, when the punishment rate reverts and is not changed by action the formerly "successful" victim will much more quickly stop responding than the formerly "unsuccessful" victim (Herrnstein and Hineline, 1966).
It seems that reduction in punishment is more effective than continuing punishment and that changes in rates of punishment can have as strong or stronger effects than basic reinforcements.
An action which is first sporadically punished will become more persistent if it is continually punished (Banks, 1966).
It has been very well established that the more children are punished for being aggressive by their mothers, the more aggressive they are in school; the more severely they are forced to be independent the more dependent they are. Particularly when punishment is severe or perceived as inappropriate, and when it is inconsistently applied (as, unless the parent is God, it often must be), punishment tends to confirm the action it is designed to eliminate (Sears et l, 1953, 57).
"The unhappy effects of punishment have run like a dismal thread through our findings. Mothers who severely punished toilet accidents ended up with bed wetting children. Mothers who punished dependency to get rid of it had more dependent children than mothers who did not punish. Mothers who punished aggressive behavior severely had more aggressive children than mothers who punished lightly . . . Harsh physical punishment was associated with high childhood aggressiveness and with feeding problems." (1957) (McKay, 1965) (Jansen and Hoffman, 1965) (Herrnstein and Hineline, 1966)..
Delinquency and punishment are very highly related (of delinquents studied 268 were punished as compared with 79 whose 5mothers reasoned with them; 299 were punished as compared with 50 whose fathers reasoned with them - non delinquents 169/138 for mothers; 155/109 for fathers (Gluek and Gluek, 1959).
Punishment may cause improved performance of the punished action (Hendry, 1963). Aylon and Azrin (1966b) have extended earlier animal research to humans to demonstrate that punishment may acquire discriminative or rewarding properties.
See also: Azrin et al, 1966) Skinner (1958). (Morgan, 1961; Hilgard, 1956; Skinner 1938).

The Amazing Puppy Wizard is the cognomen of a dog behaviorist, Jerry Howe, of Orlando, Fl. Howe's primary teaching is that dogs deserve unconditional love, respect, and attention and that by providing these emotional needs dogs will regulate their own behavior.
Howe is bombastically antagonistic to rewarders, but he is aggressively hostile to punishers - he refers antagonists to B.F. Skinner, Mary Cover Jones, and J.B. Watson and especially to Samuel A. Corson when they mistakenly annunciate behavioral principles to support their use of punishment.
Punishment always deranges behavior, says Skinner, Jones, Watson, Corson and Jerry Howe!
Howe developed a sonic device which calms dogs and has been broadly tested in a wide range of different situations. The present author is a Who's Who recognized psychologist who was asked to evaluate Howe's device by a former student.
Howe provided the author with a device, without charge, and said device worked as reported.
George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D., F.R.S.H. drv...@earthlink.net Then cross reference to Jerry Howe, etc.
--------------
Jerry, the difficulty with these ignorant dog molesters is that they cannot read. Negative reinforcement is no response by the trainer.
There is positive reinforcement, an action which is followed by an increase in the targetted behavior (usually called "reward" which is precisely and technically a misnomer), negative reinforcement is the absence of any response.
Negative means 'No'.
Skinner's last book, "CUMULATIVE RECORD" reviews this thoroughly. http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/proj/nru/nr.html
Negative reinforcement is stopping an aversive reinforcement according to this author. Read it, they have a sense of humor!
There are four forms of systematic reinforcement:
do nothing (negative reinforcement)
reward the behavior (positive reinforcement)
punish the behavior (aversive reinforcement) after habituating the subject to punishment,
stop punishing (relief of aversion, which is negative reinforcement).
Logically, failing to reward after habituating a reward is also negative reinforcement. Actually intermittent rewards work better than consistent, invariable rewards, so there is actually another two categories. Invariable reinforcement and random reinforcement (on varying schedules).
Punishment is AVERSIVE REINFORCEMENT.
Actions which cause the animal being trained to avoid, avert, cringe away from. Pavlovians always responded to American psychologist's inability to reproduce Pavlov's results with dogs with the comment, "American's don't LOVE their dogs". If you ever observed a Russian psychologist working with a dog, you'd instantly see the difference.
American psychologists were wooden, robot-like, wanted to be "scientific".
This meant to them that they should display no affection, or any other emotion with the subjects.
When a Pavlovian dog started to misbehave or fail to respond, doggie was taken out of the equipment, and taken home for a loving vacation, with much TLC. Sam Corson, Pavlov's last student, demonstrated the same relationships at Ohio State.
Interestingly the first page of results for Sam Corson, dog behaviorist is loaded with Jerry Howe quoting Dr. Von. heh heh heh
Dr. Von
Oh, by the way, you once had a pompous fellow say that Dr. Von was a figment of your imagination. I don't normally mention this, but I have been listed in Who's Who in the S & SE USA since 1982, and in the big books, Who's Who in the USA, WW in the World, WW in Medicine etc, and WW in Science and Technology, since that date.
These are the Marquis Publications, the "real" WW, and you can't get yourself into them.

Here's HOWER miserable stinkin lyin anonymHOWES punk thug coward animal murderin active acute chronic life long incurable mental case pal tommy soronson HEELPIN dogs:
tommy sez:
At no time do the Monks *ever* advocate beating a dog. A swat on the rump or a check to the chin does *not* constitute a "beating."
And then he sez:
"I don't know how big you are, kiddo, so this may not be as easy for you as it is for me, but use a little "knee action," that is, as the dog goes charging by you, just give the dog a little bop with your knee and shin. Yep, really lean into it.
Even knock her over, if you can, but make sure to make her think twice about rushing past you again - - which is exactly what you want her to do.
Don't bother with scolding her, she'll get the message.
If it happens again, just REPEAT the knee action.
When she steps on your toes, just pick up your foot abruptly and nudge her with your knee. Again, no scolding is necessary here, so you don't have to worry about her "over-reacting."
I don't think this is necessarily a lack of respect for you, just a lack of training. That is, she just needs *more* of it."
You mean like HOWE when you HOWEsbreak a dog an you beat IT with a switch or heavy man's leather belt and tie him next to his evil deed and return to BEAT HIM every twenty minutes, tommy?

Subject: My GSD bit me. The question:
I have a four year old male GSD. He growls at me sometimes. When he growls at me he stares me in the face and lays his ears back.
The New Skete books say that the dog should not be allowed to do that. They suggest shaking down the dog by grabing the dog on the sides of his neck and picking him off his front feet, then giving the dog the same sort of treatment the dog would give another if it were challenging him.
Namely getting in the dogs face and letting the dog know you are the alpha dog.
Well, my dog bit me clearly he felt that I was not convincing enough or he bit me out of fear.
Anyone got ideas on what to do with this dog that might help him to decide that he wants to follow and that he has nothing to fear from me?

You need to improve your acting skills. Get a werewolf suit with blood-drenched fangs and claw gloves and THEN go after your dog.
Knock the sh.t out of him and don't be afraid to crack some ribs. Then yank the mask off and shout "SURPRISE! IT'S ME!" I guarantee you and your dog will have a new relationship based on mutual respect.
Keep in mind that the monks of New Skete were pre-Lon-Chaney.

Aside from being incredibly offensive and self- righteous, this post shows and absence of knowledge in the differences in dogs' temperaments, or perhaps a lack of ability to perceive same.
The fact that you, Alison, have never met a dog to whom corrections and discomfort, even pain, were unimportant does not mean that such dogs do not exist.
What it means is that you don't know as much about dogs as you think you do, and you surely don't know a damn thing about Harlan or anyone else's dog here.
I had a Dalmatian that would instigate fights with one of her housemates; that dog had no fear or anything, and pain incurred during a fight meant nothing to her.
I know that that dog is not unique, and I'm sure many people here can tell similar stories. The fact that you, Alison, continue to say things to people such as what you said to Theresa about causing her dog to suffer (at least I guess that's what you meant by "you cause your dog suffers" - - must be the King's English you guys talk about over there) means that you are an ignorant, arrogant, insensitive person who is not worth further notice.
Sally Hennessey
Nope. No more than you'd convince Patch that prongs and e-collars, in the right hands, are not intrinsically abusive; or that dogs trained properly with prongs or e-collars are not fearful, in pain, or intimidated; or that any one of us here knows our own dogs and their reactions better than someone who has never seen them or us...hmmm.
I'm starting to see some similarities here.

I think I'd phrase it something like "if the puppy is very persistant, it can be appropriate to take hold of the loose skin at the back of the neck and give a slight shake to the *skin*".

Sez on our FAQ'S pages at K9 Web you should knee the dog in the chest, step on its toes, throw him down by his ears and climb all over it like a raped ape growling into his throat and bite IT on his ears, or leash pop it on a pronged spiked pinch choke collar or pop him in the snout with the heel of your palm.

I totally understand. And the samoyed thing was a bit of a joke - Kavik is a samoyed. I sympathize with you- i received a great deal of hostility for not getting my dogs barking and whining under control at the dog club - apparently, I wasn't trying hard enough.
I was given many different techniques to try from treating when quiet, from teaching bark-nobark and treating, from aversives (binaca and tobasco) and NOTHING worked.
Well, actually the binaca worked but after i got him in the eye it was not a possibility to be using that.
Even yesterday Kavik and Toklat and I went for a four mile walk. IT took about an hour. In that hour Kavik barked basically the entire time. Not AT anything, not because he was insecure, unhappy or any of the other reasons folks here are going to tell me that dogs bark- he barked for sheer joy. BARK BARK BARK, I AM WALKING YAY BARK. I actually timed the amount of time he wasn't barking and it was a total of 7 minutes in 58 minutes. And because its outdoors, and in a place where folks aren't sleeping,
I don't worry about it -its a good outlet for his bark drive.
I also don't correct him when we are skiing - but if we go fast enough, the barking stops!!
In any case, for places where its really inappropriate for him to bark - in the car when i am not present, or in the dog club in his crate when i am teaching, he wears a citronella collar. He understands that when he is wearing it, he shouldn't bark, at this point. He doesnt' even test it anymore. And I have been able to leave the collar off most of the time lately - he has learned that he shouldn't bark when left alone in the car at people or while in the crate. I believe both of these are "boredom barks" - barks to entertain onesself. However, if i am very lax about the collar and he doesnt' wear it for several weeks while in these situations the training wears off - so basically i do it randomly - once in awhile he wears the collar as a reminder.
Quite frankly, I much preferred this method of training to MY applying the aversive - i am not the bad guy and he is completely in control of the correction. Clearly he understands what causes the correction. And I am not counting on my own powers of timing and accuracy to create the correction.
