Question:

HOWEDY lush,

Hi there, Our Maltese terrier, 6 months old, just about eats everything.

Just like HOWE your dog does, eh lush? It’s driving me insane.

Well, diana aka lush was INSANE long before ever gettin a dog, being a victim of parental abuse.  We live at a beach and so I take him for a walk every morning and every evening, but along the way he’ll stop and pick up nearly every piece of rubbish or cigarette butt or worse….

Takes minutes to train a dog not to eat garbage or eat poison. Ask perry aka bentcajun girl or janet boss or diddler or stan the Nazi man or peejoe. When he is in the house he does the same, we’ve been puppy trained as our house has to be kept very neat now,

IOW, hiding every thing the dog can steal has disavailed you of training opportunities. nothing can be less than coffee table height otherwise he’ll get to it.

Just like your dog, eh lush? I’ve even found him in the kitty litter tray chewing on their remains.

Takes MOMENTS to train a dog not to eat kat poo garbage or anything else. In the short run, continue with very careful management –

That’s INSANE, lush. Your own dog got the same problem.  a year ago a dog was lost to glue on this forum

BWEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! THAT WAS PREDICTABLE cause perry aka bentcajungirl is a DOG ABUSER like yourself, lush. SHE GOT WHAT SHE TAUGHT HER DOG TO DO, by trying to force and intimidate and avoid her destructive ANXIETY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS, like you’ve been doin, lush. You’ve got a very long history of dog anxiety behavior problems abuse and mental illness, lush. You’re a proven liar and dog abusing coward and you can’t post your lies here noMOORE, lush.  and it was a heartbreaking daily account –

BWEEHHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! IT WAS PREDICTED AS ALL BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY MISHANDLING. but long term you want to be teaching him  ’leave’ and retrieve / trade.

THAT’S INSANE, lush. You’re a lying dog abusing know nuthin mentally ill coward. Leave can be taught with distraction and reward –

NO. Using "distraction and reward" REWARDS the dog for TAKIN STUFF it ain’t supposed to take.  basically,

BASICALLY, you’re a lying dog abusing punk thug coward and active long term incurable MENTAL CASE, lush. when you see him about to do something you don’t want him to do, wait till he does it,

BWEHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! make a noise

That would be TOO LATE. The dog will steal it an run.  (training disks or a few coins in a cup –

BEWEEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! YOU’RE A MENTAL CASE, lush.  important that this is appropriate for the dog –

BWEHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!! you aren’t trying to scare the living daylights out of him, just grab his attention) and as he  looks away, click & treat.

THAT’S INSANE, lush. You’re a lying dog abusing punk thug coward and mental case, lush. you can then work on sliding the distraction noise in to the leave command.

BWEHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA!!! You been takin your anti psychotic meds, lush? Trade-

You mean, trade for the STUFF the dog was TRAINED NOT TO TAKE, lush?  we worked on this as part of our  obedience retrieve but it proves useful for all sorts of things – using an object  such as a dumbbell (not one of his toys)  encourage him to sniff it. When he does, click & treat. once he’s got that, stop clicking & treating till he picks it up (you may need a lot of patience,

BET YOUR LIFE ON IT, CAUSE YOU AIN’T GOT NO METHOD. YOU’RE LYIN, lush. You’re givin the OP a BUM STEER cause you’re a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR and DOG ABUSING MENTAL CASE, lush. Maltese’s aren’t too popular in the UK, I’ve never met one and don’t have a clue as to their drive,

Their "DRIVE," lush? Only thing you’ve been correct abHOWET is not havin a CLUE, you psycopath. but guestimate that they are fairly mellow if a little on the noisy side, given that they  are a ‘lap dog’ – my weim picked it all up b4 I did!)… once he’s picked it up, click – wanting his treat, he’ll drop it – so you have the rudimentary of a trade.

IOW, you’ve TRAINED your dog to TAKE STUFF so you can DISTRACT and REWARD IT, lush. YOU’RE INSANE. And you’re a lying dog abusing coward, lush. Work on it slowly and b4 you know it, you’ll have him giving you all sorts of goodies

The OBJECTIVE was to STOP him from takin STUFF, not bring it to you for a REWARD you goddamned MENTAL CASE.  ( …put the cats litter tray on a high shelf –

BWEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! cats can jump higher than little dogs.

Suppose they don’t want the kat box on their kitchen table, lush? Problem solved :) )

BWEEEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!! Diana

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.

See the dogs, cats, us and pics of NZ etc at my homepage….. http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/paulbousie/index.html Updated regularly (last time 23 Jan 01) so keep coming back!!! 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. AIMEE

Hi there, Our Maltese terrier, 6 months old, just about eats everything.

Could be your dog has an OCD called pica. Or it could be that your dog is just normal and your efforts to force control of her is making her pick things up FASTER. It’s driving me insane.

Could be it’s a RHOWEND trip. We live at a beach and so I take him for a walk every morning and every evening, but along the way he’ll stop and pick up nearly every piece of rubbish or cigarette butt or worse….

Cigarette butts can make them sick or dead. When he is in the house he does the same,

Your dog takes things so you’ll chase him and make a fuss abHOWET it. we’ve been puppy trained as our house has to be kept very neat now,

That’s HOWE COME you can’t train IT not to do that. nothing can be less than coffee table height otherwise he’ll get to it.

You could train your puppy not to take stuff in WON DAY, if you knew HOWE.  I’ve even found him in the kitty litter tray  chewing on their remains.

Takes moments to train a dog not to eat kat doo doo. Yesterday I found him with a tube of super glue dribbling out of his mouth

Brilliant. We had a DEAD DOG recently cause the dog’s abuser wouldn’t stop trying to punish her dogs for stealin stuff. (my son is an avid warhammer hobbyist).

Good. We’ve taken him to puppy training school,

Oh, well THAT’S your problem. You been taught wrong. learnt a lot,

Yeah. But you didn’t learn anything that will train your dog. You learned to avoid and bribe and make EXXXCUSES. he is very well behaved in all other respects,

That so? He’s only six months old. follows commands and comes when he is off leash etc.

Yeah. You won’t be sayin that when he’s 8 months old.  we even taught him a command to leave food and treats unless he receives the  command, but this only works if you can see the object that you want him to leave.

IOW, you threaten and intimidate him. OR, you REWARD him for not takin it when you was there. THE ILLUSION is TRAINING but there is NO training to what you are doin, you’re foolin yourself, as you’ve seen. Must be pretty seriHOWES for you to be comin here asking liars dog abusers cowards and active long term incurable mental cases for advice for the same problems they got and can’t train. I give him plenty of toys, and he eats a well balanced diet of biscuits, meat and bones to chew on.

That’s got nuthin to do with his anxiety behavior problem or negative attention getting devices he’s using to command 100% of your undivided attention. I just don’t know how to stop him from picking up everything in his mouth.

That’s EZ to teach if you know HOWE. I do try and stop him

That makes him try HARDER and FASTER. however half the time I’m not quick enough to see what it is that he is going to pick up,

Then you’ve VARIABLY REINFORCED the behavior. You cannot force control and expect to TRAIN your dog unless you can force control ALL the time. I’ll just become aware that he’s chewing on something else…  And I don’t like having to put my fingers in his mouth to pry it out every couple of minutes.

He’s got you trained. My fear is that he will scoop up something that may harm him, the super glue was a warning signal there.

INDEEDY. Most of HOWER EXXXPERTS got the same same same same problem. Any ideas folks?

Yeah. Kulander.

EAT THIS! HOWEDY M,

Hi–I have a very active mutt!!!

That usually means hyperactive.  (Heinz 57 variety)

A dog is a dog. I  adopted her from the pound at 4 months old.

A three week old puppy got all the brain he needs to learn anything we have the brain to teach him. Every time I turn around–she is trying to eat flies!

At risk of SHOWENDING like HOWER geniuses here abHOWETS, "DON’T DO THAT" an he won’t eat no MOORE flies. Any behavior that’s consistently repeatable is EZ to EXXXTINGUISH NEARLY INSTANTLY if you know HOWE. If they are in the house–

You gotta send them HOWET. she will wait at the window, trap them with her nose and eat them.

She’s gonna tangle with a bee WON fine day and get hurt. You can break her of chasin bugs or anything else NEARLY INSTANTLY if you know HOWE. In the past three weeks, she has eaten four.

Serviette?  (that I’ve seen)

She should spit them HOWET. Is this a problem-

The Amazing Puppy Wizard’s dogs know not to snap at anything that ain’t a mosquito or man. OtherWIZE, they don’t molest other critters or eat poisonHOWES plants cause they’re TRAINED not to take what they shouldn’t have. (other than trying to control the houseflies ; )   )

That can be a problem. thanks for all your advice!

Yeah. You had judy and matty tellin you their dogs do the same thing and the bees will teach your dog not to get stung. Maureen

Two HOWETA three Pauls PREFER NOT HURTIN DOGS as The Puppy Wizard teaches in HIS FREE WWW Wits’ End Dog Training Method Manual. Here’s two Pauls:  Daylight Time  Well, let me tell you, your Wits’ End  Dog Training Method works.  My dog, Dasie, Loves to chase chameleons  around the barbecue on the patio. I  used this system on four different occasions.  When she went out today, she looked  everywhere else but the barbecue.  Amazing, just amazing.   I will write to Amanda about the video.  I am really excited to learn more, and  understand. Maybe just a little reassurance  that I am going about it the right way.  Thanks again  Paul – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – It’s possible to teach a dog not to eat out of a cat bowl without too much difficulty.

While the concept of shake cans is not new, I haven’t read any other advice that says to praise immediately regardless of what the dog does next (the common advice is to praise once the dog is doing a desired behaviour or at least stopped the unwanted behaviour), this is unique to Jerry (and Marilyn) and from my own experiences is an important part of the process.

And how do we know this aspect of his advice is right? Jerry is not God and his manual is not the Bible. His advice could be subject to an empirical analysis.  –Marshall Hello Marshall, The way I view it from my observation of how my dogs react is that the distraction interrupts the dogs thought, not for good or bad, just interrupts, the dog is therefore distracted for a second and then will either continue the behaviour or do something else. The praise reassures the dog that the sound distraction is not a threat or punishment, however if everytime the dog resumes a particular behaviour it’s distracted immediately (and praised immediately for reassurance) then it quickly decides this behaviour is not fulfilling and it ceases. A dog will offer another behaviour in it’s place and if that is acceptable to us then we let it be otherwise the distraction continues until a suitable alternate behaviour is offered. One example, Sam used to jump up on me when I arrived home, I would shake can to distract him right at the moment he was about to jump up, after about 4 repetitions he tried sitting and offering me his paw, of course this was fine so I let it be.

Thanks Paul! He does recommend praising a dog for barking, but he appears to recognize that this may not work and so distraction is recommended as a back up procedure:
