"...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)."

Date: 2004-01-01 22:19:01 PST

Both my dogs at some stage have licked a spot somewhere on
their bodies and I have always managed to train them to stop.
In all cases there was nothing wrong that licking would have
helped (Roz has had cut pads, stitches in her belly and skin
irritations, all tempting her to lick), none of their licking
has been due to any allergies. When I see the dog licking more
than normal I look at the spot to see whats there and decide
if a vet appointment is needed or to wait and see, keeping a
close eye.

To stop the licking I distract the dog and give it
some friendly banter, when it starts licking again I repeat,
usually after about 4 times the dog stops, for the moment at
least, if it starts again then repeat, before long the dog has
no more desire to lick that spot at all.

The same thing worked with my lab licking/chewing problem too.
He had an itch due to blocked anal glands and started chewing
and licking his tail at the root.

After the glands were squeezed, and the itch was gone he still
wouldn't stop. (because the place he chewed raw was itching)
After some training (roughly the same methode as yours) he
stopped.

My dog (a 1 year old Yellow Lab) was biting his tail
at the root (Vet said his anal gland was blocked, and
was causing an itch).

After squeezing it, he still wouldn't stop biting his
tail. The vet advised a neck-funnel (don't know wat
you US-guy's call those) so he couldn't reach his butt.

I hate those things, i think they will drive a dog nuts.

I tried the wits end method. (difficult to read such a long
textfile if English is not your native language) Luckily this
is without all the "HOWE's" etc.so at least it's readable for
somebody like me.

The minute he started to bite i trew my key's
next to him on the floor, and praised him (he
stopped biting and looked up when he heard
the sound) I did this 7 times,

after that the tailbiting completely stopped.
Just give the wits end method a try.

RTFM is age-old computer lingo.... It stands for "Read The

But it is a long text to read (76 pages printed on A4-size
paper) My lab is 1year old now, and teaching him something
new takes about 30minutes  (depending on what to teach
of course)

My other dog (a 7year old staffordshire terrier-mix) is a bit
slower in learning, but he is used to me calling him a "bad
dog"whenever he did something i didn't want him to do, or
it might be the age.

Sometimes it looks like Sam (the lab) WANTS to learn
something new: he wants me to bring along the can
filled with washers whenever we go for a walk. It is a
very "humane" way of teaching: the dog is allways a
"good dog", and never a "bad dog".

There is nu punishment or prong-collars involved.

For a fact i tought him to heel in 15min's without
beeing on a leach at-all !!! When he spotted a dog,
he used to run towards it, but now i tought him to
"ask permission" first, and to my surprise it worked!

My dogs never went to puppy-training (lucky for them),
maybe this helped too.

 I have tried his methods and found them extremely
 effective. There are several areas in particular
 I found useful.

 He teaches you and the dog to pay attention to each
 other all the time. He teaches you to have such good
 communication with your dog you don't need leash
 corrections or shock collars or even food, you can get
 the dogs attention any time you like by calling it or with
 a snap of your fingers.

 When I trained both my dogs to "heel" or walk close
 to me I ended up going to the parks and teaching them
 without a lead at all, that ensured I had to use good
 communication and was unable to be tempted to use
 the lead to correct them.

 Another part of the training I agree with is not using
 the "policeman" approach, where you tell a dog "no"
 or react with it in such a way that you become involved
 in the behaviour (by trying to stop it), this approach often
 results in a dog ceasing the behaviour when you are
 about but doing it when you aren't (bin raiding, counter
 surfing etc).

 Basically you are taught to make your dog a good
 friend who likes and wants to work for you for the
 pleasure of working for you (setting the hierarchy
 is included in this), teach it to recall reliably, then
 to do everything else (sit, stay down etc etc).

 Unwanted behaviours are addressed as they occur.
 If you understand what you are trying to achieve and
 are prepared to work with it you can get great results.

It's possible to teach a dog not to eat out of a cat bowl
without too much difficulty.

My dogs don't touch the food in the cat bowls although
Roz licks up any bits that have been dropped around
the bowls :-)

I used a can with stones in it to create a distraction
anytime the dogs tried to eat the cats food, followed
with immediate praise. It worked a treat.

The cats bowls are down all the time, usually there is
food left over but the dogs don't eat it, even if we go
out and leave the dogs with access inside through a
dog door.

 If you have read the newsgroup posts then you must
 already have a good idea about what I think.


 His methods are the best I have come across. They
 aren't a quick fix but an entire training concept so if
 you aren't in for the long haul then don't bother.  If
 you go his way then you have to forget all the other
 gibberish that other people spew, you have to believe
 in what you are doing, then and only then will you get
 the results.

 You can't combine his methods with other training
 methods, not until you understand what  you are
 trying to achieve, and even then I have only ever
 combined about 2 other trainers ideas and even
 then just a snip of what they suggest which works
 in parallel with the Wits End concept.

 His methods make you as the trainer completely
 responsible for your actions, his methods make
 you think and work out your own solutions for
 any given situation, the default (the recall) is
 always there to get things under control again.

 His ideas and concepts teach you to work with
 the dog, to develop a team and a willingness to
 work together which is surely the best way to be.
 His methods don't use force or intimidation but
 they do totally emphasize the absolute importance
 of pack (family pack) structure, without that you
 can achieve almost nothing.

 If you are wondering how a dog can be trained
 without any negativity the answer lies in the recall,
 anytime your dog doesn't follow through with a
 request you call him / her to you, since the recall
 is the first thing taught and it is taught in such a
 way it becomes a reflex the dog always returns
 to you, it is a subordinate position for the dog and
 we release it by asking for a "heel" which is an
 "equal" position.

His methods are very good, his understanding of
 dogs is excellent, I recommend his methods.

 Bollocks, the manual has no dangerous suggestions at
 all, people who find the manual useful are those that
 don't need to control a dog to satisfy their own ego
 but simply want a well behaved dog that is easy to
 live with. I would suggest the people who follow the
 advice in his manual are people who have already
 tried other inefficient methods and are fed up with
 the poor results.

 The more I think about the methods he suggests the
 more sense it makes, the biggest problem is people
 believe they have to be in control of the dog, tell it
 whats right and wrong, dogs don't understand
 our values and I don't believe they are capable of
 understanding them either, so to train them we use
 methods they understand. That means abstract
 training, doing sometimes what appears to
 almost be the opposite of what makes sense to us.

 If you are purely result orientated then you will not
 find Jerry's manual much use, if you love your dogs
 and love to work WITH them then his manual is
 your dream come true. Distraction and praise works
 with any dog, when you sit back and really think about
 it, it's very obvious why.

 When a dog is properly distracted (and praised) of a
 particular behaviour then that behaviour very quickly
 becomes unfulfilling so the dog will no longer have any
 interest in pursuing it, whether we are about or not,
 thats the key to stopping garbage can raids and food
 stealing etc etc, no force, no bad dog, just distracting it
 in an appropriate manner that it no longer wishes to
 pursue that behaviour.

 Better than hiding the garbage can eh?

Read the group. Google archives. By all means, if you are
seeking a professional opinion from this person you had
better check resources and references. Since he has tried

It has been a couple of months since we have
initiated Jerry Howe's recommendations for
resolving the separation anxiety in our 8 y.o.
chocolate lab.

We have seen remarkable results.

 She can now be left on our houseboat and we can return with
 all of the wood trim and/or blinds intact. Before we spoke with
 Jerry and started the training, we could not leave her without
 her barking in a high pitch incessantly.

 I had resorted to "building her a pen" with pieces of chair railing,
 putting chairs in front of windows, and moving the bed so that she
 could not get to the blind (again!). It would take about 10-15 minutes
 of planning and moving things before we could leave.

 Even with that, she would find something to destroy. We NOW
 use the surrogate toy method and can go out, shop, go to dinner
 or whatever, without any problems.

 She is glad to see us when we return, but no longer frantic.

 I am so happy that this seems to be the norm now.

 Another problem that we had with her was although she would
 not destroy the house, she would leave us runny poop in several
 places.(kind of the same as destroy I guess). I tried to blame this
 on her diet, but realized that her anxiety level was so high that
 she just had no control. Now, the only time that she has done
 that is when she devoured a diaper from the trash!!!

 Jerry's methods work. I found him by typing in separation
 anxietyꊹ媝 florida into Google, otherwise I don't want
 to  speculate what could have happened with Amelia.

 We were at our Wit's End!!!!!! Thanks so much Jerry.
 We have given your URL to everyone we know with a dog.

 Your methods work. The others that we tried did not.

 It is that simple!

 Thank you, Thank you Thank you!

Aloha Jerry,

Just wanted to let you know that the surrogate toy
technique is working wonders.  I have not had a
shredded sheet for over a week now.  It is nice
to be able to leave the bed made and come home
to a made bed.

Your program is awesome, but you already know

 Aloha Sunny,
 Just follow the training program to the letter, no matter how
 insignificant some of the step seem to be and your puppy will
 be a very well behaved dog in a few days.

 I would seriously consider backing out of the training
 classes as they will conflict with the Wit's End principles.

 I went the training route first, and still had problems until
 I found Wits' End.  Now I have two "new and improved" dogs.
 You won't be disappointed if you follow the program.

 Good luck,

Hello Jerry,

A client of mine asked to say a 'big thank you' to you.
They have a 8 month spaniel that they were about to get
rid of.

In fact they had put her into kennels for a few day while
they 'thought it through'.  They rang me the day before
they were due to collect her.

She had wrecked their home - everytime they left her she
destroyed something else.  The walls, the cabinets, the
carpets, table legs, chair legs, - anything and everything.

They collected her and brought her to me.  I gave them some
routine training exercises, and also I wrote out your advice
(I will say at this point that I was not sure about it at all,
and felt a little embarrassed - it was the advice about the
'toy dog that gets the praise for not making a mess'.

Anyway, this was 11 days ago and I heard nothing.  Yesterday
they turned up at the new Monday evening class.  They were
absolutely delighted.

They told me that after just one attempt, (your toy suggestion)
she 'stopped all the destruction'.  They were in tear of happiness
while telling me.

Thank you Jerry.
Respectfully,
Marilyn

Hi Steve,

Just want to second Jerry's method for dealing with this -
I've suggested it to quite a few clients now and it's worked
'every' time.

It sounds a little 'amusing' I agree, but it really works.

Two of the occasions it's worked have been when the
owners were almost at the point of giving up (one had
actually put their dog into kennels for a few days so
that they could re-decorate the demolition done by the dog).

They rang me while the dog was still in kennels and were
not yet decided whether to collect the dog or not.

The very first time they tried Jerry's method, it worked.

Best of luck,
Marilyn Rammell

Date: 2003-10-08 16:18:56 PST

I've been having a problem with my dog, Axel,
relieving himself in the house while I'm away
from home.

I've used TPW method's, and yesterday I was out
for 12 hours, and Axel didn't have one single "accident".

Today, I had hoped that the results would be just as
good - and they were (I was out for 11 hours).

The problem began when, as a puppy, Axel would
relieve himself in the house and I would point
at the mess and tell him "NO" or "Bad Dog".

That made him afraid to relieve himself in the
house or infront of me.

After I got TPW's training manual, I corrected my
mishandling of these instances.

When I came home to an "accident", I would simply
drop a can near the area and ask Axel "What's that?"
Then I would clean it up - with out showing him I was
the least bit upset about the mess, and when he looked
at the spot I would tell him "Good boy, you're a good dog".

This has been an ongoing problem, and thanks to the
Puppy Wizard, we've finally got it taken care of...

Also, Axel LOVES the cat's litter box...He enjoys the
"snacks" he can find in there...I followed TPW's methods
by alternating sounds and praising him while or before
he sticks his nose in it, and today, he's been going into
the room with the cat box and barking.  That's because
he's thinking about getting into the box, but he knows he
shouldn't.

Thank you, Jerry, for all you help.

 You've been a blessing to all of us.

From: AIMEE (countrygirl0...@yahoo.com):

I own a black an tan coonhound.  We got him
as a puppy, and due to constant mishandling
(pulling on his lead, negative corrections, and
the occasional use of a bark collar) I ended
up with a very anxious dog.

I couldn't leave him home alone, I couldn't
crate him, I couldn't even take my dog for
walks because he feared EVERYTHING.

I was going to have to get rid of him if things
didn't turn around.

My husband and I searched the internet for
answers - AND WE FOUND THE PUPPY WIZARD.

For all of you disbeliveers out there HIS METHODS WORK!

I've followed his manual, and we now have a
dog that can be  left home  alone, that heels
on command, that can go outside and NOT
be afraid of everything he sees.

Not only have his methods helped our dog, but
our marriage has gotten better.  We had fallen
into a rut - constant bickering and tension, we
never laughed or had FUN together - but now,
with the same mindset used in THE PUPPY
WIZARDS dog training, our communications
channels have opened, and we now work
together instead of against one another.

For all the "Literalists" out there, NO WE DID
NOT TEACH EACH OTHER TO SIT, STAY,
OR HEEL.

We simply eliminated the nagging and the acting out to get
NEGATIVE attention from one another since we weren't getting
the POSITIVE attention we wanted.

So, it's been proven - THE PUPPY WIZARDS METHODS WORK.

It's up to you to accept them.  Yes, there's alot of blame that we
have to accept, but once we realize that we've caused these
problems to arise, we can strive to make things better.

Yves,

I for one have tried it... in fact I use this all the time.
I just used it last evening while my husband and I went out
to see "The Mummy Returns" (a horrible turkey of a movie,
but at least the house wasn't chewed from end to end in the
meantime).

Yes, it really works.  :-)  So do the other
distraction/praise techniques described therein.

If you are interested in the manual, you will
probably want to begin the exercises as well.

 Hi Jerald,

 Just wanted to tell you we read your manual and have

"Chloe" (the one we adopted--a.k.a. "The Destroyer")
 has already shown great improvement! (In Just 1 DAY!)
 She responds even better than our other
 (better-behaved) dog "Poe".

 We tried out the surrogate toy technique, and not a thing
 was touched when we got back!  We were both surpised
 because Chloe isn't that interested in toys and was still very
 uptight about us reaching for the door...anyway, it seemed
 to work.  We both work all day today so we'll  see how that
 goes...

Regardless, we will be cool as cukes when we get home!  ;)

 I'm just so thankful we might have a chance to get
 through to her!  We're very excited about her progress
 thus far...

 Thank You!

"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).

to stop a behavior. "Bad Dog" ALWAYS works," marshall

 My dog almost always comes when called. I would assume
 that this is because coming is often consequated with
 some form of reinforcement like food, petting, the
 opportunity to play a game, etc.

 But there are some times when he does not come.

 These are infrequent. What do I do? I say, "bad dog"
 and the moment he starts coming I say "good dog."

 Why is "bad dog" effective?

 When my dog was a puppy and he did not obey a command,
 that was in his repertoire, I would say "bad dog" and
 pick him up by the back of his neck and deliver a brief,
 "harsh," lecture.

 I would assume that in the process, I established "bad
 dog" as a powerful conditioned punisher. I also did the
 "bad dog" harsh lecture routine, when he would eat his
 poop which he seemed to do quite often.

 My dog, a Havanese, is quite a "softy" so I quickly
 discovered that not much of a "lecture" was needed
 to establish "bad dog" as a conditioned punisher.

 I should also note that I said "bad dog" in various
 ways, including near whispers. The net result is that
 "bad dog" functions as a conditioned punisher even
 when whispered.

 So, if my dog just "sits there" when I say "Max come"
 and then I whisper "bad dog," the vocalization in
 principle punishes the ongoing behavior and so the dog
 is disposed to do something else and that something else
 is almost always following the previously issued command.

 (You really don't want to issue the same command multiple
 times without some consequences for failing to comply, for
 then your dog will initially ignore your commands!)

 I am NOT a dog trainer. I am a behavioral psychologist
 (Associate Professor) who has loved dogs all my life.

 I write this because it is likely that Jerry Howe, who
 apparently opposes all forms of punishment, will post
 a follow-up to this post.

 His follow-up will likely not directly answer your
 question but instead refer you to his poorly written
 training manual or his magic black box that putatively
 cures nearly every canine problem.

 His follow up, unfortunately is also likely to personally
 attack me. You are free, of course, to form your own
 opinions and follow Jerry's advice.

 I want you to know that although I have used punishment,
 infrequentely and in limited ways, my dog is strongly
 bonded to me. He follows me everywhere, he sleeps with
 me, he cuddles at night with me, and he loves to perch
 himself on my legs, much like a cat, when I'm reading a
 book or talking to folks with my feet outstretched.

 I don't see where the limited use of punishment has
 harmed him in any general way. Perhaps, the limited
 punishment I have used together with all the postive
 reinforcement I have provided for "coming" and "going
 down" in the context of drills, in all sorts of settings,
 and under all sorts of circumstances, will someday save
 his precious life.

 I hope this post is helpful (also see below). Diane
 Blackman, Avrama Gingold, Paulette Nolan, Ludwig Smith,
 Lynne K. and others regularly post great advice here.

 Individually we sometimes make mistakes, but collectively
 I think we offer a variety of viable approaches limited
 mainly by our inability to be with you and your pooch at
 your home.

 Best wishes,

 Marshall

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

"The Misbehavior of Organisms" demonstrate the utility of your
methods and their deep roots in scientific (as opposed to

              The Puppy Wizard's Wits End Training Method

               I have studied canine behavior and dog training
               for years. I have a huge library that covers
               every system of training.

               The Puppy Wizard's (Jerry Howe's) Wits' End
               Training Method is by far the most scientific,
               the most advanced, the kindest, the quickest
               and the most effective training method yet
               discovered.

               It is not an assortment of training tips and
               tricks; it is a logically consistent system.
               Every behavior problem and every obedience
               skill is treated in the same logically
               consistent manner.

               Please study his manual carefully. Please
               endeavor to understand the basis of his system
               and please follow his directions exactly. His
               manual is a masterpiece. It is dense with
               theory, with explanation, with detailed
               descriptions about why behavior problems occur
               and how their solution should be approached.

               One should not pick and choose from among his
               methods based upon what you personally like or
               dislike. His is not a bag of tricks but a
               complete and integrated system for not only
               training a dog but for raising a loving
               companion.

               When I once said to Jerry that his system
               creates for you the dog of your dreams, his
               response was that it produces for your dog the
               owner of his dreams.

               You see, Jerry has discovered that if you are
               gentle with your dog then he will be gentle
               with you, if you praise your dog every time he
               looks at you, then you will become the center
               of your dogs world, if you use Jerry's sound
               distraction with praise, then it takes
               just minutes-sometimes merely seconds-to train
               your dog to not misbehave (even in your
               absence) (Just 15 seconds this morning to train
               my 10 week old puppy to lie quietly and let me
               clip his nails).

               Using Jerry's scientific method (sound
               distraction / praise / alteration / variation)
               it takes just minutes to train you dog to
               respond to your commands.

               What a pleasure it was for me to see my 6 week
               old puppy running as fast has his wobbly little
               legs would carry him in response to my recall
               command-and he comes running every time I call
               no matter where we are or what he is doing.

               At ten weeks old now, my puppy never strains
               upon his leash thanks to Jerry's hot & cold
               exercises and his Family Pack Leadership
               exercises.

              Jerry has discovered that if you scold your dog,
              if you scream at him, if you intimidate him, if
              you hurt him, if you force him then his natural
              response is to oppose you.

              Is Jerry a nut?

             It doesn't make any difference to me whether he
             is or not. It is a logical fallacy to judge a
             person's ideas based upon their personality. As
             far as dogs are concerned, Jerry wears his heart
             upon his sleeve. It touches him deeply when he
             hears of trainers forcing, intimidating, scolding
             or hurting dogs.

             More than that, he knows  that force is not
             effective and that it will certainly  lead to
             behavior problems; sometime problems so severe
             that people put their dogs down because of those
             problems.

            I believe that it is natural for humans to want to
            control their dog by force. Jerry knows this too.
            We have all been at our wits' end, haven't we?

            Dogs have a natural tendency to mimic. In
            scientific literature it is referred to
            allelomimetic behavior. Dogs respond in like kind
            to force; they respond in like kind to praise.

           Don't bribe your dog with treats; give him what he
           wants most-your kind attention. Give him your
           praise. You will be astonished at how your dog 's
           anxiety will dissipate and how their behavior
           problems will dissipate along with their anxiety.

           Treat Jerry Howe's (The Puppy Wizard) Wits' End
           Training Method as a scientific principle just as
           you would the law of gravity and you will have
           astounding success.

           Dog behavior is just as scientific as is gravity.

           If you follow Jerry's puppy rules you will get a
           sweet little Magwai; if you don't you will surely
           get a little gremlin (anyone see The Gremlins?).

Jen, your request for a positive only dog training list,
needs the same answer as I give the folk who ask why I
don't have a list for what I do with biofeedback.

The method is so simple, and if you adopt it and relate
to your dog in such a positive manner you won't have any
more problems and there is no need for any more technique.

With Puppies we Ph.D. psychologists have been outflanked
by the entirely practical and effective methods described
in http://makeashorterlink.com/?K3AD21A3D  Free
download, nothing sold, no mailing list, no distribution
of your name. Free  support if needed.

With ADHD kids I provide similar information at
www.drbiofeedback.com and there is no need for
a list dealing with problems with kids.  Apply
as directed and have happy healthy doggies or
kiddies.

Not difficult.

George von Hilsheimer, Ph.D., F.R.S.H.

P.S. jerk and choke, spanking, shocking, scruff shake,
choke, chin chucks, all those negatives, denial of
affection etc. are harmful, dranging, obscenities.

You might want to consider Pavlov's typology to
understand "hard and soft dogs" - essentially he
taught that there are outward and inward responding
organisms in weak and strong nervous systems and if
you grasp this firmly you'll shape your training
methods effectively.

Punishment ALWAYS deranges behavior, and so is
recommended and given only by deranged humans.

Of course, it doesn't matter if we are talking
dogs, cats, people, sheep, even husbands.  Dr. Von

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.

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.

 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.

 --Marshall Dermer
