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.

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.

Sharon.

Sometimes rescue groups are willing to do "courtesy postings," i.e. you can
post a picture and description of a cat you are trying to rehome on their
website, but the group itself is not responsible for the cat in any way (the
cat obviously stays with you in the meantime), and anyone who would phone to
inquire about the cat would be referred directly to you. 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,

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...

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.

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.

The pup won't mess up the HOWES if he's TRAINED.
That takes about two HOWERS of EZ work as taught

       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.

"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

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

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

First, the frequency of unwanted chewing has decreased;
and two, you have established "No" as a conditioned punisher.

How much neck pulling and shaking? Just the
minimum necessary to decrease the unwanted
biting.

When our dog was a puppy,  "No" came before mild

"No" is usually sufficient but sometimes I use "Bad Dog"

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."

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.

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.

 Um, may I suggest a re-wording that might make
 it  clearer- given that "scruff shake" is too easily
 misinterpreted as "pick the puppy up by the scruff
 of the neck and shake the puppy in the air"?

 I think I'd phrase it something like "if the puppy is very
 persistant, it  can be appropriate to take hold of the

You think a EXXXPERT trainer got to BEAT
a HUNTIN dog to MAKE IT HUNT?

Perhaps the mom dog didn't want her babies HURT all
their lives like HOWE HOWER dog lovers PREFER to
HURT THEIR DOGS?

"John ran out, grabbed Blackie by the collar, and
gave the dog two or three medium whacks on the
rump with a training stick while holding him partially
off the ground. John then told Blackie to sit, ran back
to the line and cast him back to the dummies."

The Puppy Wizard sez a mom dog eatin her babies
to SAVE THEM from a fate like that, is COMMENDABLE.

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

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.

Only if you're a MENTAL CASE.

Here's Jerry's version

"I Dropped The Leash, Threw My
Right Arm Over The Lab's Shoulder,
Grabbed Her Opposite Foot With My
Left Hand, Rolled Her On Her Side,
Leaned On Her, Smartly Growled Into
Her Throat And Said "GRRRR!" And
Neatly Nipped Her Ear," sinofabitch.

 Here's yours:

"I dropped the leash, threw my
right arm over the Lab's shoulder,
grabbed her opposite foot with my
left hand, rolled her on her side,
leaned on her, said "GRRRR!" and
nipped her ear.
