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."

"...all the highest nervous activity, as it manifests
itself in the conditional reflex, consists of a continual
change of these three fundamental processes --
excitation, inhibition and disinhibition," Ivan P. Pavlov
"Postitive emotions arising in connection
with the perfection of a skill, irrespective
of its pragmatic significance at a given
moment, serve as the reinforcement. IOW,
emotions, not outside rewards, are what
reinforces any behavior," Ivan Pavlov.
"All animals learn best through play." -- Konrad Lorenz
"Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative
reinforcement" (1958) NEARLY EVER LEARNING
THEORY model involves the USE OF PUNISHMENT.
Of curse, Skinner has never to my knowledge, demonstrated
HOWE we escape the phenomenon that an expected
reward not received is experienced as a punishment
and can produce extensive and persistent aggression
(Azrin et al, 1966)."
"The IMBECILITY of some of the claims for operant
technique simply take the breath away. Lovas et al
(1966) report a standard contingent reward/punishment
procedure developing imitative speech in two severly
disturbed non verbal schizophrenic boys. After twenty-
six days the boys are reported to have been learning
new words with alacrity. 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)."

Subject: Reward/Punishment
Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 09:01:22 -0400
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.

Always good to have more food for thought!
Material that includes research data from 2006, 2005 was
presented at ACC&D's Third International Symposium, and
part of the slideshows presentedare available here.
http://www.acc-d.org/2006%20Symposium%20Docs/Session%20I.pdf
Issues regarding previous assumptions on what neutering does
as a 'benefit' are pretty well challenged in this data above.
Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs (ACC&D) is a nonprofit
501C(3) group involved in attempting to study, define and resolve
some of the problems that currently exist internationally as they
regard issues of animal population control. "More than 120
representatives from universities, animal welfare organizations,
foundations, companies, and government agencies from 11 countries
gathered to share information and plan for the future". Main site:
http://www.acc-d.org/
"On the negative side, neutering male dogs · if done before
maturity, increases the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer)
by a factor of 3.8; this is a common cancer in medium/large
and larger breeds with a poor prognosis.
· increases the risk of cardiac hemangiosarcoma by a factor of 1.6;
this is a common cancer and major cause of death in some breeds
· triples the risk of hypothyroidism
· increases the risk of geriatric cognitive impairment
· triples the risk of obesity, a common health problem in dogs
with it the many associated health problems associated with
obesity
· quadruples the small risk (<0.6%) of prostate cancer
· doubles the small risk (<1%) of urinary tract cancers
· increases the risk of orthopedic disorders
· increases the risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations
Hemangiosarcoma is a common cancer in dogs. It is a major cause
of death in some breeds, such as Salukis, French Bulldogs, Irish
Water Spaniels, Flat Coated Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Boxers,
Afghan Hounds, English Setter, Scottish Terrier, Boston Terrier,
Bulldogs, and German Shepherd Dogs24.
In an aged-matched case controlled study, spayed females were
found to have a 2.2 times higher risk of splenic hemangiosarcoma
compared to intact females24.
A retrospective study of cardiac hemangiosarcoma risk factors
found a >5 times greater risk in spayed female dogs compared
to intact female dogs and a 1.6 times higher risk in neutered
male dogs compared to intact male dogs.25 The authors suggest
a protective effect of sex hormones against hemangiosarcoma,
especially in females.
In breeds where hermangiosarcoma is an important cause of death,
the increased risk associated with spay/neuter is likely one that
should factor into decisions on whether or when to sterilize a dog.
Hypothyroidism
Spay/neuter in dogs was found to be correlated with a three fold
increased risk of hypothyroidism compared to intact dogs. The
researchers suggest a cause-and-effect relationship26.
They wrote: "More important [than the mild direct impact on
thyroid function] in the association between [spaying and]
neutering and hypothyroidism may be the effect of sex hormones
on the immune system.
Castration increases the severity of autoimmune thyroiditis
in mice" which may explain the link between spay/neuter and
hypothyroidism in dogs.
"Dr. Spain, who has been recently involved in many
studies assessing the long-term risks and benefits of
early-age neutering, presented convincing data about
the effects of spay/neuter on hip dysplasia, cranial
cruciate ligament rupture, long bone development,
body weight, diabetes, urinary tract infections,
mammary cancer, and several other conditions."
CONCLUSIONS
An objective reading of the veterinary medical literature
reveals a complex situation with respect to the longterm
health impacts of spay/neuter in dogs.
The evidence shows that spay/neuter correlates with both
positive AND adverse health effects in dogs. It also
suggests how much we really do not yet understand about
this subject.
On balance, it appears that no compelling case can be made
for neutering most male dogs to prevent future health problems,
especially immature male dogs. The number of health problems
associated with neutering may exceed the associated health
benefits in most cases.

"...all the highest nervous activity, as it manifests
itself in the conditional reflex, consists of a continual
change of these three fundamental processes --
excitation, inhibition and disinhibition," Ivan P. Pavlov
"Postitive emotions arising in connection
with the perfection of a skill, irrespective
of its pragmatic significance at a given
moment, serve as the reinforcement. IOW,
emotions, not outside rewards, are what
reinforces any behavior," Ivan Pavlov.
"All animals learn best through play." -- Konrad Lorenz
"Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative
reinforcement" (1958) NEARLY EVER LEARNING
THEORY model involves the USE OF PUNISHMENT.
Of curse, Skinner has never to my knowledge, demonstrated
HOWE we escape the phenomenon that an expected
reward not received is experienced as a punishment
and can produce extensive and persistent aggression
(Azrin et al, 1966)."
"The IMBECILITY of some of the claims for operant
technique simply take the breath away. Lovas et al
(1966) report a standard contingent reward/punishment
procedure developing imitative speech in two severly
disturbed non verbal schizophrenic boys. After twenty-
six days the boys are reported to have been learning
new words with alacrity. 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)."

Could you be so kind as to post here the

writes that you should JUST praise the
dog when it barks?????????
As I recall, I thought he first advocates
distracting the dog from barking, with
keys or the soft sound of pennies in a
can, before praising.
Perhaps you can tutor me regarding
Jerry's system.

I thought it seemed far fetched to praise a stuffed

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.

Of course, it isn't necessary at all to know how dogs think,
or even if they *do* think. I believe that they do, but of
course I can't prove it, and neither can Jerry.
The heart of the matter is, the discussion in the manual
regarding "how dogs think" is part of a wholistic approach to
dog training.
It helps to comprehend the reasoning behind the
methodology. The methodology works quickly
and easily, therefore lending credence (as far as
I'm concerned) to his theory of how dogs think.
It's the same sort of thing regarding theories of whether the
earth revolves around the sun, or contrariwise. Is it possible
to send a rocket to the moon, based on the assumption
that the sun revolves around the earth?
The answer is, of course, yes, though it would most likely
be enormously complicated. The better solution is to begin
with the theory that the earth revolves around the sun.
In other words, the simplest answer or description is the
best, even though it may not be empirically provable.
And so, I am willing to take Jerry's theory on how dogs
think as a likely one, simply because the dog training
methodology he describes (based on his suppositions)
works so well.
I hope this helps you to understand from which perspective
I say the things that I do about Jerry's method and manual.

Lisa

Well, again, "sh.t" happens.
It's possible to avoid "sh.t" from happening altogether, by never
doing anything, but that doesn't help dogs very much, does it?
But as some folks are wont to say: "Management always fails."
It'll fail for you one day, too. And I bet it alrealready
has, probably many times, in fact.
The more dogs you try to manage, the more
things you try to do, the more times it'll fail.
Because I've see too much "sh.t" actually happen,
and know that it's impossible to totally prevent.
"sh.t" has happened a number of times just today, at
my place, because someone simply forgot to do what
he was supposed to do. He's done it correctly, oh,
maybe a thousand times now, but today he didn't, and
"sh.t" happened.
Actually, you should feel pretty good about the fact "
that he actually shows "sh.t" happening on his show.

Lori, I sincerely wish that were true. (the too bad to save part)
There is innate temperament that is not shaped by treatment.
The dogs our rescue gets from horrible abuse cases quickly proves
that.
OTOH, I also see dogs that have never had a single triggering
incident who cannot be saved. I've got such a client right now,
a 9 month old GSD who we've been fighting to save for months.
He's been seen by Jean Donaldson and Leslie Nelson and a slew
of others, and has received nothing by loving care all his life.
His littermates are normal, his breeding excellent, and there
was no triggering event or medical cause. As much as it breaks
my heart, the dog cannot be saved.

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.

Borrowed from: "Puppy Raising Tips" from
professional trainers, John and Amy Dahl.
"Around four months many puppies can withstand a
correction. Unfortunately this is the time they start
teething and if their mouth hurts, they may act
generally sensitive. If this is the case, be patient and
wait for all those baby teeth to fall out.
In training, retrievers often respond to physical correction
better than verbal correction. While "NO!" is extremely
useful if puppy is about to bite an electrical cord or steal
food off the table, when you are teaching them something
(like obedience) a sharp jerk on their lead or swat with a
stick gets the message across with less emotion and less
effect on their confidence.
If they drop the dummy and act like their mouth hurts
when they are teething, stop all retrieving and wait for
their mouth to feel better. A correction should be just
severe enough to get the dog to respond.
Repeated weak corrections are very stressful to the dog."

IME there are lots of soft Labs, and some of the recent
field-bred dogs are among the worst. In the 60's, when
you worked with them, if I understand correctly, they
were probably more consistently tough and resilient. That's
the traditional nature of the breed.
Trainer Mike Lardy thinks we are getting the softer, more
sensitive dogs today because training methods using modern
e-collars are so much better and more gentle than they used
to be, it doesn't take a tough dog to come through training
in good shape. I think it's a plausible argument.
Doesn't fit the stereotype the ignorant have of e-collars.
We still get a few that are happy and eager no
matter what we do to them.

Subject: Aggressive Dal from shelter
I recently adopted a female, spayed 3 1/2 yr old
dalmatian from a no-kill shelter. She spent 2
years in the shelter and naturally she has some
socialization issues to overcome.
My problem is I am not quite sure HOW to tackle these issues. . .
1. She is aggresive toward **ALL** other dogs, even
dogs that have shown that they are willing to be submissive.
Upon sight of a dog, she lunges and snarls.
2. She is usually kind and affectionate toward her owner
(me), but recently began turning sour and for no apparent
reason snarls toward me! This has completely destroyed
the trust we were building over the past month.
3. She deals with visitors, but is very anxious around
people she doesn't know. At first she would scream if
a stranger petted her with 2 hands. I just don't trust
her around anyone yet.
4. She lunged at my sisters 2 year old the same way she
lunged toward other dogs, aggressively.
I really really like this dog, when she is calm and able
to relax. I want to keep her, but I don't really know
what the best way to establish the necessary trust.
Any ideas out there?

HEY!!!
There is a Valid Valerie with a REAL Dalmatian
who is a real sweet dog with a few issues that I
am working to resolve after adopting her from a
shelter she spent 2 years in.
All I want is to get some decent help for my dog.
There is some decent stuff in Jerry's manual.
My dog has ACTUALLY been responding to
her training. The deal is you have to separate
your opinions and impressions from the guy
who is writing these posts and take from the
manual what you want.
Personally, I get a pretty good chuckle out
of the whole Jerry thing. I have to say the
guy is pretty clever, you're letting him get
under your skin.
It makes for a very amusing game I think.
I'm sure he would agree, or he wouldn't
be playing everyday.
He also wouldn't be playing if he didn't believe
that his method of training weren't valid.
Perhaps I'll learn from my mistakes, but so far,
using the Wits' End, I have gotten my dalmatian
to listen to me, to look to me for direction, to wait
for me to say when.
I have changed her from an aggressive dog
to one who is willing to please her owner,
willing to listen, willing to assume her role
in the pack.

P.s. Jerry, don't get any ideas about morphing
into me, ok?

Well if she wanted to stop and go in another

walking and she could go.. and if there wasn't
enough slack on her lead she would just pull me.
Then when she got done doing *her* thing, she woudl
heel.. smile at me and wait for me to say "let's go"
and finish *my* thing. I would refuse to move .. i
looked like an idiot.. freezing mid walk for minutes
waiting for *my* dog to heel and give *me* permission
to go again.
I did the treats and the let's go... she got to do her
stuff and get a cookie.. if she even wanted the cookie.
I wound up calling Jerry.. as I have a half red nose
pit and half amstaff.. who is incredibly protective..
we had a new pup on the way.. and i needed help.. i
followed petsmarts trainnign guides.. memorized them...
and they *did* work, don't get me wrong.. but only
when my pet wanted a cookie or felt the cookie was
better than what she wanted.. which was not often.
She quickly learned to ignore my commands if she
could see my hands were empty. So I called Jerry...
he chatted me for about an hour and a half.. gave me
his link... and even when i had probs intro'ing the
pup he called me withn i5 mins of my email for help
at 10pm on a sunday night.
One.. singular.. uno family pack exercise after
the hot and cold exercise and i could zig zag
down my street.. about face .. whatever.. and
never had tension.
two men were acrossed the street and she walked right
by them... ordinarily she'd snarl and protect us.
And in two days.. my dog.. who bit the puppy if he
even looked like he was going near my husband or kids..
is nursing him every hour.. cleaning him.. rough housing
gently.. and teaching him to go potty outside..
actually watches him to make sure he doesn't go in
the house... and has milk.. which is awesome since
she's 19 months old and has never had a litter.
She also has stopped barking non stop at our neighbor's
dogs and pig.. does not bark at eveyr car that drives by
and has stopped jumping on people. she's even starting
to ignore our cat who has lived on her dome litter box
and our window sill (literally) for over a year and a half.
She also does her commands on cue.. and doesn't look for a treat.

I have been trying for the last 18 months to help my
dog who became fear aggressive at 18 month of age.
I do not know what started the problem but he came
aggressive first with dogs and then began lunging and
snapping at people. Until this time he loved everyone
and could play with any dog. He was well socialized
ad I took him with me everywhere.
At 13 months he passed the Canine Good Citizens
Test except he could let me leave him. I had used
clicker training to teach him manners and tricks but
it was not working on his aggression problem.
I took him to vets who suggested a low protein diet,
trainers who charged $800 to only make him worse.
They tried to use a prong collar and he froze, urinated
and tried to climb on my head to help him. they then
suggested a shock collar I knew this approach was not
working as he was becoming more aggressive.
I took him to an animal behaviorist with Ph. D. 400 miles
away who told me to "KEEP HIM SAFE" and read a book
on the fearful canine. I tried another trainer who tried to
use a nylon chock collar but it only made him worse.
I read hundreds of books,"CULTURE CLASH", "DOG
ARE FROM NEPTUNE", "THE OTHER END OF THE
LEASH", ETC looking for help. We finally went to Purdue
University Small Animal Behavior Clinic and they said he
had fear aggression, punishment would not work, use the
gentle leader and when out walking and he got stressed
have the people stop until he could get in control using
treats, and work on clicker training.
At that point I knew more about clicker training and using
the gentle leader than they did! Nothing was working--he
would not come when I called him and would run away when
I tried to catch him. I was afraid to walk him even in the
neighborhood as we had become that "mean dog and women who
hasn't trained her dog"
I went to four trainers in both Michigan and Florida who
were trainer/specialists in aggression and the last two
were so afraid of him they could not approach him. No one
said I should give up on him and kill him but they would
say "You have to realize he is dangerous and you are
responsible for him."
*(You got LUCKY, Linda... They coulda got Sunshine
DEAD on us. Damned near did... too.)
As last resort I tried the internet again--I had had on
going discussions with trainers from Triple Crown and Dr
Meister with out any help-and I found the ad to Doggy Do
Right and messaged Jerry to ask if this might help my dog.
He said solving the aggression problem was EZ but I could
not believe him even when I downloaded the manual.
The name of the method was right I was at my Wits End.
I had been working for 18 months!
Using the can sound three time he came, and still comes
from anywhere with the command-"comegoodboy" Next
I tried the can when walking him--when he saw a dog three
blocks away he went off-lunging and snapping-I used the
can sound and he looked at me like uhn?
I used it three more times and we got to the other dog-
-the looked at me wagging his tail--the other person
looked at me like why are shaking that can but just walked
on by.
When ever I try to explain about the sound people look at
me like "you must be out of your mind"
The results can make a believer!!!
