INDEEDY. HOWEver, it FAILS MISERABLY:
"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.
Pavlov Told Us So 100 Years Ago. Sam Corson,
Pavlov's Last Student Demonstrated At UofOH
That Rehabilitation Of Hyperactive Dogs Can
Easily And Readily Be Done Using TLC. Tender
Loving Care Is At The Root Of The Scientific
Management Of Doggys. <{) ; ~ ) >
"...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
"ALL ANIMALS LEARN BEST THROUGH PLAY," Konrad Lorenz.
"Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative
reinforcement" (1958) NEARLY EVERY 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)."
"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)."
"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 behavoir and learning
immediately deteriorated."
And THAT'S HOWE COME "BALANCED TRAINERS" jerk
choke shock crate intimidate mutilate and
murder innocent defenseless dumb critters.

Very good! HOWEver, the "body language" described
as indicating the dog is "EAGER TO WORK" is most
often anXXXIHOWESNESS caused by FEAR of being jerked
choked and shocked. You can SEE THAT in ANY of the

HOWEDY People,
Since The Amazing Puppy Wizard ALWAYS gets CONfHOWENDED
tryin to suss the psychobabble in behavioral terminology
HE asked Dr. Von if he could remember what he was taught
in school fifty years ago:
"...all the highest nervous activity, as it manifests
tself in the conditional reflex, consists of a continual
change of these three fundamental processes -- excitation,
inhibition and disinhibition." Ivan P. Pavlov
What's important is, "does Shamu reliably
eat the fish and not the pretty girl?"
George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D., F.R.S.H.
From: "George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D."
Subject: The Amazing Jerry's take on psychobabble
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 12:13:44 -0400
You might improve the learning of folk who actually
live with and train dogs to do useful things if you
excluded everyone who uses psychobabble from your lists.
I recommend to all of you who wish to taste the flavor
of sensible animal behaviorists to read THE MISBEHAVIOR
OF ORGANISMS, Breland and Breland.
This married pair of psychologists began the long trail
of highly trained animals who are symbolized by Shamu
eating a mackrel from a girl's hand instead of eating
the much more tasty pretty girl who is exactly the size
of the natural food of killer whales, seals. Yum!
The essay, by the way, is a chapter in B.F. Skinner's
summing up book, CUMULATIVE RECORD. They include a
sentence which more or less says, "unless you understand
the personal history of the particular animal, and the
history of this animal's species and group, the developmental
history of the animal, you cannot effectively train the animal.
Pigs root and hen's scratch, if you try to train hens without
scratching or pigs without scratching or pigeons without pecking,
you aren't going to have much success.
A conditional reflex is one which is learned, the original
primitive reflex occurs no matter what the history of the
animal, and is hard wired. If you train the animal to respond,
say by ringing a bell immediately before turning on a bright
light, then you've taught the animal and made his native reflex
of pupil constriction conditional upon the ringing of a bell.
Thorndyke added some terminology to this kind of training
and insisted that when you train the animal to make gross
motor responses that this learning is "instrumental", the
animal takes action and uses an instrument.
The Russian word translated as "conditional" in all other
contexts was mistranslated by Pavlov's American translator,
Horsley Gannt, as "conditioned" and so American psychology
went haring after phantasmagora.
The major theorists for the development of the language of
operant conditioning are Edward Thorndike, John Watson, and
B. F. Skinner. Their approach to behaviorism played a major
role in the development of American psychology.
They proposed that learning is the result of the application
of consequences; that is, learners begin to connect certain
responses with certain stimuli. This connection causes the
probability of the response to change (i.e., learning occurs.)
Thorndike labeled this type of learning instrumental. Using
consequences, he taught kittens to manipulate a latch (e.g.,
an instrument). Skinner renamed instrumental as "operant"
because in this learning, one is "operating" on, and is
influenced by, the environment. Where classical conditioning
illustrates S-->R learning, operant conditioning is often
viewed as R-->S learning since it is the consequence that
follows the response that influences whether the response
is likely or unlikely to occur again.
It is through operant conditioning that
voluntary responses are learned.
One should note that Russian Psychology did very well
without the operant language, and only pettifogging
university professors ought to worry about what kind
of label we attach to the learning. Pfui!
Even Skinner understood this!
And please note if you saw the original movie, THE
MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, you saw a Chinese psychologist
who was based on Andrew Salter, CONDITIONED REFLEX
THERAPY.
Alas, Salter didn't have a Ph.D., but he basically rescued
us from the long Freudian nightmare and returned psychotherapy
to a scientific basis. Alas, the 2nd movie didn't even cite
Salter as a source. "...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

"Si. Chill out, Tattoo. Our guests will be
arriving momentarily. Pull yourself together
and stop acting like a skeevy little frootloop,
Tattoo. You give me the willies when you
get like this.
HOWER guests have arrived!
Ahhhh, welcome to Fantasy Dog Training
Island, People!
I'm your host Mr. Roarke. You've come to
Fantasy Dog Training Island to enjoy handling
and training your dogs? Or perhaps you have
some little idiocyncracy you'd like to hmmm,
shall we say ADJUST?
Excelllente!
Here on Fantasy Dog Training Island, right
is wrong, and wrong is right, and you're
always in control, even when you kill your
dogs to make bad things right, TO BE FAIR!"
"Boss, boss, boss, do you think you should
mention that part?"
"But of curse, Tattoo. Here on Fantasy Dog

our fantasies, where everybody lives happily
ever after, just like me an you, my little needy
friend, Tattoo!"
"But boss, boss, boss, these visitors to
Fantasy Dog Training Island have LIVE
dogs, boss. They'll train them here in their
FANTASIES, but in real life, those dogs
are likely to run away, destroy their HOWESES,
eat their children and attack their guests,
and they'll kill their best dogs to be fair,
for REAL, boss.
Our guests will be going back to the real
world in just a couple of days, boss...
You can't let that happen to them, boss!"
"Ahhhh, not to worry my sniveling little friend,
Tattoo! This is all FANTASY! Relax! Enjoy
our guests, Tattoo. Bring them all something
refreshing from the Fantasy Bark and Grill
while I get to know some of the bimbos better.
Now run along Tattoo and make our
guests feel comfortable, like they're in
their own HOWES!"
"But boss! Bosss!!!"
"Hush! Go now, Tattoo, our company awaits...
Greetings people! Are you familiar with your dog
training equipment? Have you notice your crates,
head halters, shock collars, spray collars, and
your pronged spiked pinch choke collars?
For SHORE they LOOK like torture devices,
and in real life, they ARE torture devices, but
NOT HERE, on Fantasy Dog Training Island!
Here your crate and pronged spiked pinch
choke device are YOUR FRIENDS! I'll
introduce you to your friend the shock collar
too, while we're examining our TOOLS to
enhance the bond between trainer and dog,
here on Fantasy Dog Training Island!
Notice if you will, your aversive spray collars.
NO! Don't aim it at yourself, I can assure you,
it IS loaded..."
"But boss, bossss!!!"
"Get off my butt, you miserable cussed little dwarf.
Pay no attention to the spoiled child, People.
He's troubled and is supposed to be in his
room resting. He's harmless, and means well,
but all this excitement seems to have
overwhelmed him.
I usually take him to the park for a couple
hours a day, but today we were preparing
for your visit."
"But boss, these people are going to lock
their dogs in boxes and shock and choke
their dogs, thinking they're TRAINING them!"
"Relax Tattoo! Go to your room while I
explain to them HOWE the crate teaches
the dog his box is his HOWES that he
should respect. I'll teach them that locking
IT in the box to control behaviors they can't
train, is GOOD!
We'll say crating teaches IT, BONDING!!!
Now go to your room, Tattoo, you're overtired.
We'll tell them their dogs LIKE responsibility
and are asking for punishment when the dog
questions authority, just like you enjoy, Tattoo.
You're fine with the mild static like stimulation
of your shock collar, are you not, my little friend?
Now run along to your room."
"But boss,"
"'ZAP!' Bad Tattoo! You shouldn't be
disrespectful, you imputent little troll."
"Ouch! But boss!"
"ZAP!"
"Ouch! But boss! That'll make their dogs
hyperactive, vicious, and scared in real life,
and might get them DEAD, boss!"
"Relax Tattoo, this is Fantasy Dog Training Island!"
But this ain't no FANTASY, People.
This is real life...
Dogs DIE because of our ineffective, inappropriate
handling and training tactics as taught by our REAL
LIFE Fantasy Dog Trainers here on rpdb and in the
dog behavior industry.

That's a bit of a stretch. The researchers fail to
understand the nature of the beast nor can they
divorce themselves from their own egos. We can
DISPROVE THAT THEORY with a couple of simple
EXXXPERIMENTS demonstrating ALLELOMIMETIC behavior,
NOT EGO GRATIFICATION as the motivating factors.

Oh, you mean GREED. Another HUMAN QUALITY:
"Despite this, and despite the fact that there was no
evidence of cognitive association with the words, the
authors leap to the conclusion that the fact that the
boys improved in the acquisition of Norwegian words
WITHOUT REWARDS while still being given English words
WITH REWARDS suggest hat the children may be able to
acquire new behaviors on their own.
The need for this study escapes one, particularly in
view of the very well established fact that schizophrenics
condition quite readily (Mednick, 1958)
Kanner (1954) reports that 13 classically autistic
children improved enough to go to school without
"anything that is regarded as good psychotherapy or
as psychotherapy at all...
Autistic children have been known to become
permenantely social by deinstitutionalization,
BY REMOVAL from the parents, BY RADICAL CHANGES
in other environments, and by MASSIVE DOSAGE of
TOUCHING, HOLDING, FONDLING LOVE DESPITE THE
REJECTION OF THE CHILD."

Hello blackman,
I gather from a pryor post that your Oso won't retrieve, but
will chase critters. I presume that is the dog we're talking
about.
So, you want to teach him to retrieve? And you are anxious to
get into the ear pinch method of forced retrieve, rather than
picking up that book and studying it to get an insight into
what may be beneficial for getting Oso to enjoy retrieving?
You even have a dog that happily does that behavior. You don't
suppose you could figure out some way to engage Oso at the
same time you are getting some retrieves from the other dog?
Ever heard of allelomimetic behavior? Or maybe you don't
believe in it, like jean donaldson who doubts it's existence?
Perhaps that because as trainers we believe we must take
control. Control is etheric. A military coupe gets control,
but the fighting may continue. The kind of control we should
strive for is through compliance, because our subjects want to
do everything we ask, the first time. Like in a good marriage.
The both partners work harder at satisfying the other partners
needs and desires, and there can never be an obstacle. The
same foundation can be built with your dogs as with your mate
or your child. Behavior is behavior, and how our behavior
effects our relationships, dictates the success of those
relationships.
For all that you seem to know, you don't seem to know or
understand some of the most basic fundamentals of dogs or
behavior or motivation or reward. You think of rewards in
terms of food, to appeal to your gut level instinct, where
your character and personality are most comfortable, rather
than the higher resources available, were you not grounded at
a low level of consciousness, your gut, greed, avrice, and
false pride.
Your focus is on the micro, the act of manifesting a behavior,
the minutia of making something happen. You overlook the most
important aspects of dog behavior, and totally disregard and
disrespect the dog and Natural Law. Canis55 tried to tell you
about drive flows. You people totally misunderstood the use of
them. The concept was too simple for your complex minds, and
one of the most easily accessed and valuable tools are
overlooked. You have to think in more than one direction. We
are working with a living, thinking, being, A WORKING PARTNER,
not a piece of steel.
Your focus should be to step back and examine how the retrieve
fits into the normal consciousness of a dog, how the retrieve
fits into the normal course of events in the dogs' instinct
and life, and HOWE we can foster that.
These factors allow the full spectrum of your dogs thinking
and instinct to be molded to shape a particular behavior.
Your desire to accomplish the end goal is so myopic and your
need for instant gratification so intense, that you complicate
the chore of getting the most from your dog, and subvert your
efforts by compelling the dog to not want to participate.
Sure, you may get him to do the retrieve against his will, but
if you take your guard off of him, he may defect and not
participate. That is why you are so strong on the idea of
proofing and reliability. It equates to your dogs' lack of
trust in you and your ineffective, condescending, warped view
of dogs, training, and behavior.
Consistent, positive reinforcement and praise are the only
effective tools that will teach your dog to do anything you
want the first time you ask, without fear, force,
intimidation, or pain.

"Oops! I would start by only holing her mouth
shut for say 5 sec.
At this point, "No" does not have any behavioral function.
But, if you say "No,"pick up the puppy by its neck and
shake it a bit, and the frequency of the biting decreases
then you will have achieved too things.
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.
**********IS THAT A CONSISTENT 5 SECONDS?************
When our dog was a puppy, "No" came before mild
forms of punishment (I would hold my dog's mouth
closed for a few seconds.) whereas "Bad Dog" came
before stronger punishement (the kind discussed above).
"No" is usually sufficient but sometimes I use "Bad Dog"
to stop a behavior. "Bad Dog" ALWAYS works," marshall

That's INSANE. Ain't it.
P.S. Contacting Dr. P:
Please note that due to the large number of
requests I receive, I can no longer give free,
personal advice on problems related to dog
training and behavior.
In order for me to give such advice we would
have to "talk" about the problem at length.
That is, I would need detailed information about
the dog, it's environment and routine, the problem,
and the situation in which the problem occurs.
Thus, this type of consultation takes time which
I cannot afford to give away for free.
If you wish such advice, please see the information
I have provided about my K9 Behavioral Consulting
practice. Another alternative to obtaining personal
advice is to participate in e-mail, chat room, &
newsgroup discussions.

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.

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.
