Oh, and talking about crates, the first night I had
her, I closed the door of the crate, as this is what
almost everybody was recommending. She was hell of
earth, and at 5 in the morning, I had to put her in
the bathtub as she crapped on herself during the night.
The following night, I let the door open, putting a
towel near my bed for her to sleep. Her crate is in
the kitchen. I said what the hell, let's try it.
Totally different behaviour. I was pretty happy about
it that's for sure :)
Mine has the full run of the house when I'm at work already.
Why? Because she did go totally insane when I left her in her
crate, crapping on herself in the process. It was not fun. I
followed Jerry's advice and did the "Separation Anxiety" method
in the manual, and my house has not been destroyed. Dog happier,
house not destroyed? That's all I needed to know.
Thanks again for the advice,
Regards,
Denis

It helped clear problems from my dogs in the
field using the can penny distraction technique.
Works like a charm.
My dogs get distracted easy from their jobs ie,
retrieving or training to find lost people, oh did
I mention that I am a Search and Rescue Team
Leader.
Sorry that slipped my mind.
I have read volumes of training books and don't
know where people get that Jerry copied others
work as I have NEVER come across his methods
before. I would like to see proof.
Just like Jerry outlined I eliminated problems one
at at time as they arose. I used to try and train to
the way I wanted them but this is backward, you
train out the problems leaving what you want left over.
Funny part is the second dog who had the same
problems as the other didn't need correcting for
some of his habits after I cleared it from the first
dog.
Seemed he learned through osmosis.
Nice side benefit there.
It nearly came to giving them up to a 3rd party
trainer as they were not performing well. The
VAST majority of working dog trainers are
agressive in their actions with the dogs.
I tried it and it didn't work and guess what I
was at my "Whits End" then someone I new
turned me onto Jerry and the rest is history.
I referred friends and families to Jerry's manual
and all have had great results. Starting puppies
out on the distraction technique is especially
good because they never develop the habit.
I had my sisters dog healing, sitting and down
stay reliably at 8-9 weeks. The first night home
following Jerrys advice we ditched the crate and
put the pup on the floor beside the bed and after
2 whimpers NOT A SOUND OUT OF THAT DOG
FOR 6 HRS! first night, that has never happened
in all my days.
Sorry, the man understands dogs its that simple.

FYI - He ingested a mystery sock.
Hadn't done that in well over a year.
When he was a puppy we were very lucky - they went through or
came up. We've done "sock work" with him leaving them alone,
but mostly are pretty conscientious about not making them available.
The risk is obviously too high. One of his littermates beat him to
the punch with the same surgery, and his great grandfather had this
habit until he died at age 12.
My MIL was visiting (sockless!) and since he wasn't with
me every waking moment as usual as a result, I can only
imagine that the sock presented itself somehow while she
was with him.
He was a very, very sick dog. He had emergency surgery
on Monday, but was home by Tuesday - we lucked out that
the sock had advanced enough that they didn't need to
cut the bowel.
Once he was opened, they were able to manipulate the sock
out his rectum. He thinks he's fine, so the leash is very
necessary! He's got about a foot of staples on his tummy,
and this was a very expensive sock!

He's post surgical and needs to be confined and rest/kept safe.
He is used to crates, has not problem with them and does not
"escape" (mesh crates, wire crates, etc - he takes them all in
stride, whether strange places or at home).
When I got home, both dogs greeted me at the door. He had
managed to bend the clips on the end panel of his metal crate
(General Cage 204) and squeeze out the top/side of the end
panel that has the door. The door was securely closed.
THAT was NOT a good thing to do with a foot of staples
in your tummy. He hadn't done it before - but he's not his
usual self obviously.
We won't be trying that again any time soon!

Email: Janet B <***@bestfriendsdogobedience.com>
After Rudy came to stay with us, I got tired of running
into an open crate door, so I bought a new crate, with
a door that folds up and in. "can't be opened from the
inside" says the ad. I always looked at these and thought
"right", but for the last few months (yes, folks, it's
been 3.5 months) it has worked great.
Until Monday.
That's when Mr Smarty-pants decided he knew how to open it.
And greeted us at the door after 6+ hours of freedom. A
chewed wastebasket lid and a puddle inside the front door
(he loses it if very excited and yesterday morning I found
evidence that a smallish dog had apparently "visited" right
outside my full view front door) was all that was wrong.
So yesterday, when I left for a short errand, I made sure to
clip the door closed securely. And once again came home to
an unconfined puppy.
So, today, the crate will get clips on the door to ensure
this doesn't happen again. I need him to learn that he
shouldn't let himself out.
But it looks like he's going to be allowed house freedom
within a few days, and since he'll be 9 months old on Monday,
that'll be the day.
I'll take the next few days to put some shoes away and check
out other things he may be interested in, and get out the
bitter apple.
My house is not exactly the neatest place in the world, and
there's a lot of stuff that may be too available and interesting.
We shall see.
My puppy is growing up and too smart for his own good!

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,

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

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

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.

Hello everyone:
If you have followed some of my posts, you know something
about the ongoing story of Muttley, the large GSD/Chow dog
I have been trying to adopt or place in a better home.
I will add a bit more history later in this post.
Last Tuesday, toward the end of Janet's obedience class,
Muttley and I had just finished fairly successfully performing
a sit/stay/come routine, and then he was sitting by my side.
The final routine was to be a "down", which Muttley has had
some difficulty with, and frankly I have not had the time to
work with him much on that.
I was kneeling at his side, trying to hold his collar while
pushing his front legs down to the position, while he resisted.
Suddenly he lunged, knocking me over onto the parking lot, and
I lost grip of the leash as I reflexively broke my fall.
Muttley took the opportunity to attack a young black male
Lab to my left, and it was a very brutal attack. Janet and
the instructors tried to gain control, and as soon as I
could get to my feet I grabbed the leash and pulled him off.
That was the end of the class, and the other dog, Bernie,
was taken to an animal hospital for treatment. When everyone
had left, Janet counseled me about what should be done about
Muttley.
She said this was more than ordinary aggression, and only
intensive (and expensive) one on one training would have
any chance at working, and in any case, he was not suited
to group training.
She advised me that Muttley could be dangerous, and she
recommended that he be euthanized. "They can't all be saved".

If I did not have to worry about my cat, I would probably
keep him, and I am certain I could avoid any more dangerous
episodes. I probably would not have taken him to obedience
classes at this time if that was not such a difficult issue,
and if people here had not essentially shamed me into doing so.
Then he would only be a bratty dog with a mind of his own,
but he would not have been identified as dangerous.

overnight? Ideas when she might be ready to sleep with
the door open? Or on a bed or doggie bed?
Subject: Re: In defense of Jerry Howe's methods
Oh, and talking about crates, the first night I had
her, I closed the door of the crate, as this is what
almost everybody was recommending. She was hell of
earth, and at 5 in the morning, I had to put her in
the bathtub as she crapped on herself during the night.
The following night, I let the door open, putting a
towel near my bed for her to sleep. Her crate is in
the kitchen. I said what the hell, let's try it.
Totally different behaviour. I was pretty happy about
it that's for sure :)
Mine has the full run of the house when I'm at work already.
Why? Because she did go totally insane when I left her in her
crate, crapping on herself in the process. It was not fun. I
followed Jerry's advice and did the "Separation Anxiety" method
in the manual, and my house has not been destroyed. Dog happier,
house not destroyed? That's all I needed to know.
Thanks again for the advice,

Denis

Ok Mike which part worked for you?Mike
field using the can penny distraction technique.
Works like a charm.
My dogs get distracted easy from their jobs ie,
retrieving or training to find lost people, oh did
I mention that I am a Search and Rescue Team
Leader.
Sorry that slipped my mind.
I have read volumes of training books and don't
know where people get that Jerry copied others
work as I have NEVER come across his methods
before. I would like to see proof.
Just like Jerry outlined I eliminated problems one
at at time as they arose. I used to try and train to
the way I wanted them but this is backward, you
train out the problems leaving what you want left over.
Funny part is the second dog who had the same
problems as the other didn't need correcting for
some of his habits after I cleared it from the first
dog.
Seemed he learned through osmosis.
Nice side benefit there.
It nearly came to giving them up to a 3rd party
trainer as they were not performing well. The
VAST majority of working dog trainers are
agressive in their actions with the dogs.
I tried it and it didn't work and guess what I
was at my "Whits End" then someone I new
turned me onto Jerry and the rest is history.
I referred friends and families to Jerry's manual
and all have had great results. Starting puppies
out on the distraction technique is especially
good because they never develop the habit.
I had my sisters dog healing, sitting and down
stay reliably at 8-9 weeks. The first night home
following Jerrys advice we ditched the crate and
put the pup on the floor beside the bed and after
2 whimpers NOT A SOUND OUT OF THAT DOG
FOR 6 HRS! first night, that has never happened
in all my days.
Sorry, the man understands dogs its that simple.

I think that Franklin's been naughty.--
--Matt. Rocky's a Dog.
FYI - He ingested a mystery sock.
Hadn't done that in well over a year.
When he was a puppy we were very lucky - they went through or
came up. We've done "sock work" with him leaving them alone,
but mostly are pretty conscientious about not making them available.
The risk is obviously too high. One of his littermates beat him to
the punch with the same surgery, and his great grandfather had this
habit until he died at age 12.
My MIL was visiting (sockless!) and since he wasn't with
me every waking moment as usual as a result, I can only
imagine that the sock presented itself somehow while she
was with him.
He was a very, very sick dog. He had emergency surgery
on Monday, but was home by Tuesday - we lucked out that
the sock had advanced enough that they didn't need to
cut the bowel.
Once he was opened, they were able to manipulate the sock
out his rectum. He thinks he's fine, so the leash is very
necessary! He's got about a foot of staples on his tummy,
and this was a very expensive sock!

Some dogs are really adept at getting out of things,

Yes indeed. I crated Franklin when I had to leave yesterday.even the impossible.
He's post surgical and needs to be confined and rest/kept safe.
He is used to crates, has not problem with them and does not
"escape" (mesh crates, wire crates, etc - he takes them all in
stride, whether strange places or at home).
When I got home, both dogs greeted me at the door. He had
managed to bend the clips on the end panel of his metal crate
(General Cage 204) and squeeze out the top/side of the end
panel that has the door. The door was securely closed.
THAT was NOT a good thing to do with a foot of staples
in your tummy. He hadn't done it before - but he's not his
usual self obviously.
We won't be trying that again any time soon!

Email: Janet B <***@bestfriendsdogobedience.com>
After Rudy came to stay with us, I got tired of running
into an open crate door, so I bought a new crate, with
a door that folds up and in. "can't be opened from the
inside" says the ad. I always looked at these and thought
"right", but for the last few months (yes, folks, it's
been 3.5 months) it has worked great.
Until Monday.
That's when Mr Smarty-pants decided he knew how to open it.
And greeted us at the door after 6+ hours of freedom. A
chewed wastebasket lid and a puddle inside the front door
(he loses it if very excited and yesterday morning I found
evidence that a smallish dog had apparently "visited" right
outside my full view front door) was all that was wrong.
So yesterday, when I left for a short errand, I made sure to
clip the door closed securely. And once again came home to
an unconfined puppy.
So, today, the crate will get clips on the door to ensure
this doesn't happen again. I need him to learn that he
shouldn't let himself out.
But it looks like he's going to be allowed house freedom
within a few days, and since he'll be 9 months old on Monday,
that'll be the day.
I'll take the next few days to put some shoes away and check
out other things he may be interested in, and get out the
bitter apple.
My house is not exactly the neatest place in the world, and
there's a lot of stuff that may be too available and interesting.
We shall see.
My puppy is growing up and too smart for his own good!

prong collars to be very, very useful training tools.

Not great! I had been just closing off the upstairs bedroomwith Crow and Eclipse.
(a baby gate with the door fixed ajar about six inches keeps
the dogs out better than you'd expect), but the cats like to
hide in the wall of the linen closet (gotta love these old
houses!) when they're nervous and Crow and Eclipse tore
apart the linen closet to try to get to them. That's when I
closed off the upstairs entirely. They're also a bad
influence on Cinder, who started out thinking of the cats as
dinner but who had learned to live with them in peace until
her sisters arrived. I think it's possible but, frankly,

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.

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.

AND LIKE THIS:
From: AIMEE (***@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.

Subject: House training and such...
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.

She's doing well when left to her own devices, like right now -
I'm in the basement and my mom is upstairs folding laundry.
The pup is just playing with her toys or chews. I'm just wondering
when it will be reasonable to expect her to be left alone (not locked
in the crate) when we go out for a few hours - and how to know when
she's ready.
Yeah. Here's janet's STUDENT of three years:I'm in the basement and my mom is upstairs folding laundry.

Tonite I started Janet's obedience class. It's like NIGHT
and DAY from the class Bagel 'flunked'. I was amazed at
the difference and I am very glad Janet gave me the chance
to attend her class.
I can't wait till PK on Saturday.

That aside, I crate trained both my dogs successfully,
and used the crate to house train them.
Bagel is so well crate trained that in the mornings whenand used the crate to house train them.
I make his Kong, he runs to the crate and since I am not
crating him anymore (just confining him) but I am crating
Hannah, I have to pull him out of the crate and he does not
want to get out.
BTW housebreaking with Janet is going quite well.

I went away for the weekend and I think my
dog walker will never speak to me again.
Bagel escaped from the kitchen and ate about 10
pounds of puppy food and proceeded to deposit it
all over my house.
He esp. liked my living room sofa which was my
mothers as he pulled some cushions off of it and
literally stood on it and peed.
Yes I know my dog has issues and I know I need help.
I think my poor dog walker needs therapy now.
It was a rough dog weekend for her and not
just with my kids.
I didn't know until the last minute I was going away
and NEXT time, the furbabies will go to furbaby camp
for the weekend.
It was too much for them.
Well live and learn.
Meanwhile, I'm still glad I went on retreat.
My house will survive as things are not important.
Hannah still loves me and Bagel will talk
to me in a few days.....

Yes, it's a huge improvement over shoving them
in crates at night. But why does Bagel have to be
leashed?
because he will wander the area (room if i closein crates at night. But why does Bagel have to be

the door or house if i don't) and pee and bark all
night long. but i said that already you must not
be reading for comprehension.

well I'm not BLAMING my job it's ONE of MANY
things that I'm considering.
As for returning them to their respective shelters,
I don't want to split them up and I'm not going to
give them to just anyone. Possibly because I am
doing everything I can to keep them and drag this
mess out as long as possible in hopes that it will
work out.

Hello everyone:
If you have followed some of my posts, you know something
about the ongoing story of Muttley, the large GSD/Chow dog
I have been trying to adopt or place in a better home.
I will add a bit more history later in this post.
Last Tuesday, toward the end of Janet's obedience class,
Muttley and I had just finished fairly successfully performing
a sit/stay/come routine, and then he was sitting by my side.
The final routine was to be a "down", which Muttley has had
some difficulty with, and frankly I have not had the time to
work with him much on that.
I was kneeling at his side, trying to hold his collar while
pushing his front legs down to the position, while he resisted.
Suddenly he lunged, knocking me over onto the parking lot, and
I lost grip of the leash as I reflexively broke my fall.
Muttley took the opportunity to attack a young black male
Lab to my left, and it was a very brutal attack. Janet and
the instructors tried to gain control, and as soon as I
could get to my feet I grabbed the leash and pulled him off.
That was the end of the class, and the other dog, Bernie,
was taken to an animal hospital for treatment. When everyone
had left, Janet counseled me about what should be done about
Muttley.
She said this was more than ordinary aggression, and only
intensive (and expensive) one on one training would have
any chance at working, and in any case, he was not suited
to group training.
She advised me that Muttley could be dangerous, and she
recommended that he be euthanized. "They can't all be saved".

If I did not have to worry about my cat, I would probably
keep him, and I am certain I could avoid any more dangerous
episodes. I probably would not have taken him to obedience
classes at this time if that was not such a difficult issue,
and if people here had not essentially shamed me into doing so.
Then he would only be a bratty dog with a mind of his own,
but he would not have been identified as dangerous.

THAT'S quite a SUCCESS STORY, ain't it?
BWEEEEEEAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
