As usual you still have nothing to say, the whole problem with pitbulls isn’t the dogs, it is stupid people like you that own them.. Your Pal, Jerry; ~} Amy lyingfrosty Dahl LIES with a straight face and says: "I don’t beat dogs, twist ears, or pinch toes. For the benefit of anyone who is in doubt, and who chooses not to read the article, there is NO mention in it of "twisting ears. I would never slap a dog. I would never advise anyone to slap a dog. I do not believe there is a single circumstance, ever, where slapping a dog is anything but destructive." RIGHT. She PINCHES, not twists… and chin cuff doesn’t mean hit, it means slap. amy lyingfrosty dahl continues: "Get a stick 30- or 40-inches long. You can have a helper wield the stick, or do it yourself. Tougher, less tractable dogs may require you to progress to striking them more sharply. With your hand on the collar and ear, say, "fetch." Immediately tap the dog on the hindquarters with the stick. Repeat "fetch" and pinch the ear all the way to the dummy. Repeat, varying how hard you hit the dog," ">>>Now you are ready to progress to what most people think of as force-fetching: the ear pinch.>>> Make the dog’s need to stop the pinching so urgent that resisting your will fades in importance.>>> "but will squeal, thrash around, and direct their efforts to escaping the ear pinch>>> You can press the dog’s ear with a shotshell instead of your thumb;>>> even get a studded collar and pinch the ear against that>>> Say "fetch" while pressing the dummy against its lips and pinching its ear.>>> if the dog still does not open its mouth, get out the shotshell. Try pinching the ear between the metal casing and the collar, even the buckle on the collar. Persist! Eventually, the dog will give in>>>" AND HERE’S THE REST OF THE ROUNDUP: Diane Blackman, Yes, diane… She’s as confused and deceitful as they come. She knits cover-ups for pronged choke collars so she can train dogs illegally on akc showgrounds, and so that people won’t SEE the prongs and think the less of her… She twists words better than you can, BECAUSE SHE HASN’T GOT BAGGED FOR LYING, LIKE YOU DID. She’s got a dog who’s been a chronic puller for five years, and she day boards her dogs because she can’t trust them at home alone. Her links page has lots of lousy advice, but diane won’t edit the lousy ones that teach HURTING dogs, because she says she doesn’t know enough about training to discern good from bad information… Whaddaya thaink of that? Janet Boss, Jerks dogs around on pronged collars to make them friendly. She’s as incompetent a creature as G-D could possibly create. I’ll be throwing THAT in HIS face when I get there… She has no business telling people to kill their dogs because their only option is to jerk the dog around and keep him confined for the rest of his life. See the thread ”interested in hearing” and you’ll see for yourself HOWE you bums mishandle and kill dogs because you don’t have any IDEAS and can’t outwit a puppydog… Susan Fraser, susan twists and pinches ears and toes and shocks and chokes dogs on pronged choke collars. But she doesn’t hurt them. Avrama Gingold, Our Professora… She got her damned teeth knocked down her throat when her dog finally figured out HOWE to hurt her back, and make it look like an accident. That’s called allelomimetic behavior. avrama had a habit of jerking him to make him heel or come, but always made it look like the dog did it to himself. Dogs are smart. Don’t take my word for it, that’s in the Wits’ End Dog Training Method manual. Lynn Kosmakos, Our pathological liar? She jerks and chokes and hangs dogs according to the koehler method. She justifies force because there are so many dogs to HELP and such little time to HELP them all, at the shelter she kills dogs at. Bob Maida, What advice? "Don’t let him do that?" Killfiles is all he writes about. He can’t talk dog training because he is a violent dog trainer. If he opens his yap, I shove his foot in it for him and hammer on top of his head till he’s craping toenails… He’s no dog trainer. He said he recommends cindymoron’s Website to his ‘’students” and they tell him HOWE much they’ve benefited from it… cindymron’s site has instructions for sticking your fingers down puppies throats to choke them out of mouthing, kneeing the dog in the chest, shocking, throwing the dog down by his ears and climbing on him like a wild animal, pinching and twisting ears, choking, jerking, and sticking dog’s heads under water you’ve filled into a hole he’s dug to break dogs of digging. I guess boob’s student’s only learned the jerking and choking from him… Your pal boob had been begging his ”teacher” cap’n fagarty to debate me here, and smarten me up. He sent his little girl to write me a threatening letter saying she’d sue me if I told the truth here… Then, your pal boob suggested there would be a motorcycle gang paying me a little visit… Do you ride, lyindoc? I may be able to get you a good deal on some dead bikers machines. Cindy Tittle Moore, A true sadist. She gets pleasure for dominating and hurting dogs. Read her forced fetch page, that will show you HOWE excited she gets just at the thought of hurting dogs. Did you see my STAY-OUT-OF-JAIL CHALLENGE to cindymoron? Here’s the deal… We get her to force fetch train three dogs in front of a childs playground, and I’ll train three protection dogs in the same site, and we’ll see who the children are disturbed by, and who the parents are going to call the cops on… And then I’ll show ups as expert witness for the prosecution, and we’ll demonstrate her forced fetch in front of a criminal judge and jury… HOWE’S that for a FAIR TEST??? Denna Pace, Says she sees a lot of value in koehler… She’s got PLENTY of problems with her own dogs running away and being disobedient. Marily Rammell, what the hell is she doing in this lineup of Thugs? John Richardson, He only hurts dogs to save them from the needle. He’s as abusive and immature as they come. He’s a clone of dogman. The dogs he can’t hurt into being friendly, he KILLS in the shelter he HELPS in. Unlike yourself, he’s too stupid to be evil. He’s just doing what koehler taught him. Ludwig Smith, Another koehler trainer. He’s too cowardly to come out and say what he believes. He throws around lots of non advice, and then tells us we can get more help in koehler’s books. He’s got a link to cindymoron’s page on his sig file… and Terri Willis. The psycho clown. She wants to hurt dogs because she is compensating for her inferiority complex. She WANTS TO HURT DOGS.

Ah, yes. Our esteemed john richardson, pit bull freak and dog abuser. Hello john, You are very good with twisting words and their meanings, just as good as you and your pals are at twisting ears and toes and choking, jerking, shocking, BEATING DOGS WITH STICKS to MOTIVATE them, and HANGING DOGS to REHABILITATE them… It’s CLEAR that you do not have the intellect to handle and train dogs without responding from a gut level reaction of fear and confrontation to supposed resistance and threats to your AUTHORITY… > As a militant eclectic on matters pertaining > to training, I too vote against calcified > thinking – or non-thinking due to calcified > brains, as the case may be.
Sure, talk out of both sides of your mouth at once. You are ONLY interested in DEFENDING YOUR ALLEGED RIGHT TO ABUSE DOGS IN THE NAME OF TRAINING… > Tradition for traditions sake is mere religion in the worst > sense of the word. Unfortunately, however, too many who > promote new approaches do so with the same "one true path" > religiosity that the arch-traditionalists spout.
No john, those are EXCUSES you and your punk pals who HURT DOGS to train them,use to JUSTIFY and RATIONALIZE HURTING DOGS some more…you do so because you are intellectually weak and emotionally stunted. Your EGO is what makes YOU NEED to hurt dogs out of your FEAR of them. They threaten your self-IMAGE and are an affront to your "AUTHORITY." > So it sometimes seems as though everything is open to > revision except the single most destructive misconception of > all: the myth of the codified one true path.
That’s what YOU are doing in trying to DEFEND HURTING DOGS TO TRAIN THEM… You just can’t get it through your freaking stupid, thick, skull, that FEAR, FORCE, CONFRONTATION and PUNISHMENT are NOT conducive to behavior modification and training… > What also distresses is how, just as in the case of new > religions that supplant older religions, the advocates of the > new gods feel compelled to out and out demonize the old > gods.
john, you are making a cowardly argument in defense of HURTING DOGS TO TRAIN THEM. > I think we are at a point where much too much is known for > anyone to claim that training is pure art and/or all a matter of > intuitive feel, but we are also at a point where too little is > known to pretend that we have a true science.
What the hell are you trying to say? You are making STUPID analogies in a vain attempt at CONFUSING the FACTS. > I myself am constantly impressed with how a technique that > works like a damned miracle in several cases goes absolutely > pfffft in several more.
THAT’S WHY YOUR METHODS ARE DEFECTIVE. YOUR METHODS GETS DOGS KILLED. > This most striking of observations from my experience doesn’t > seem to get much airplay in training books,
YES IT DOES. The ENTIRE BACK OF KOEHLER’S BOOK IS DEDICATED TO DOGS THAT OBJECT TO BEING ABUSED ACCORDING TO YOUR METHODS, AND SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANGING AND KILLING THE DOGS ARE EXPLICIT…BLAME IT ON THE BREEDING OR ON A TRAINER WHO IS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH…FACT. > however, and I simply have to surmise that that is for the > same reason that one does not find in religious tracts > warnings to the effect that reality is a subtle thing and finding > even reasonable facsimiles of the truth requires considerably > more than can be found blurbed about the pages of a religious > tract.
Let’s stick to dog training. "Hitler had some good ideas," and "the Marquis de Sade was misunderstood," are the ARGUMENTS that you are trying to use here…It ain’t gonna fly. > The closest that an appallingly large number of > trainer/behaviorists come to admitting that they may not know > it all after all is the outrageous cop-out that a given dog that > does not respond to the "one true method" is a "problem dog" > who should probably be given up or even given the needle. > This won’t do.
That’s true of your pals here who CHOKE, JERK, SHOCK, TWIST and PINCH dog’s body parts, BEAT DOGS WITH STICKS to MOTIVATE them, and HANG DOGS to REHABILITATE them. Intelligent, non force, non violent training methods WORK LIKE SCIENCE…you and your pals NEED TO HURT DOGS ONLY TO VALIDATE yourselves… > JohnR > Pit Bull Libertarian
BEWARE the forgeries to confuse you, and the warnings offered to you from our rpdb Gang Of Thugs regarding killfiling my posts and the Wits’ End Dog Training Method manual. These people are frantic at the thought of not having anymore EXCUSE for being able to jerk, choke, and hurt dogs on pronged, choke, and electronic shock collars. You cannot trust your dog’s well being to people who tell you to killfile my advice…and tell you to punish, confine, and confront your dog’s behavior problems. Our Gang Of Thugs are easily identifiable by their warnings about my posts, and their killfile instructions to prevent me from EXPOSING THEM as the vicious, abusive, cretins they are,AND WANT YOU TO BE, so they don’t look out of sorts.

:Unfortunately, the web site for the newpaper :does not have everything that is in the newspaper, :and this article seems to be one of the missing 
nes. Maybe John could send you a copy of what :he wrote??? Opinion pieces don’t seem to make it to their website except in the case of a couple of their own regular columnists. I don’t have exactly what ran, as it was lightly and generally highly competently edited, but here is the email I sent them a little while back…. —— Dear Sirs/Madams: I read with great chagrin the article about the campaign against Pit Bulls in Evesham Township. Some information that should be included in follow ups: 1. The State of New Jersey’s Dangerous Dog Law *prohibits* counties and municipalities from passing breed specific ordinances. 2. I was at both of the City Council sessions in Wilmington, Delaware and the City Council session in Washington, DC. a. After the second, truly open session on the matter, Wilmington scaled back its initial law so that it would *not* be tantamount to a ban on Pit Bulls. Moreover, the breed specific provisions that were kept in place have already caused some needless problems that opponents of breed specific law predicted would arise, eg mass give ups of innocent Pit Bulls to an already overburdened shelter by people who don’t want to be in violation of any law but who don’t want to pay in time, money or effort the costs of complying with the law. We will continue to fight in Wilmington until all breed specific provisions are repealed. b. Washington DC has not yet brought ANY law up for a vote and opponents of breed specific law have reason to be cautiously optimistic that no breed specific laws will even come up for a vote this session, let alone pass. c. Many towns and cities have had breed specific laws proposed only to have such laws defeated in committee by the full council. These range from New York City many years back now to York, Pennsylvania last year. d. There is movement in many areas to repeal breed bans and other breed specific laws. Cincinnati, Ohio was one of the first cities to pass a breed ban against Pit Bulls back in the late 1980s. Last year, that ban was repealed. 3. Yes, PeTA wants to ban Pit Bulls as pets. But for PeTA, the very institution of keeping pets is tantamount to "slavery" and should be eradicated. Their recent high profile call to ban Pit Bulls should be considered just the opening salvo in a much larger campaign. 4. Among the groups who have opposed breed specific laws are the Humane Society of the United States, the American Humane Society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the American Dog Owners Association, the American Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club and the Endangered Breeds Association. 5. Pit Bulls do have natural tendencies towards aggression towards other dogs and other animals generally. In this respect, the are not terribly unlike many dog breeds, especially the "bull" breeds and terrier breeds from which they arose. However, also like many dog breeds, very much including most terrier breeds and pretty much all "bull" breeds, they also have a natural tendency towards being human friendly. That can be ruined through poor breeding and/or inept "guard dog" training, though I suspect that quite a few of the Pit Bulls that end up in shelters and rescue get there because it’s actually pretty hard to make a Pit Bull human aggressive and the idiots who try to toss the dogs when it becomes clear that it isn’t going to happen. In any event, there was hysteria about Pit Bulls before there was a single documented mauling by a Pit Bull and the maulings that have occured since are as much the effect of the early hysteria, since that early hysteria is what brought the breed to the attention of some of the worst dog owners in history, as they were the cause of later waves of hysteria. At some point, sober discussion of responsible dog ownership will have to replace this endless media cycle of: hysteria -> fascination with the breed by irresponsible people -> some totally avoidable incident -> more hysteria -> more morbid fascination by the wrong people -> more incidents ->… and so on. Continual focus on the BREED rather than the improper training and handling of specific dogs of various breeds that have been involved in serious bite incidents is a huge part of the PROBLEM. 6. When I did hands-on volunteer work at the Animal Orphanage in Voorhees, I was the first or among the first to go into the play yard and closely interact with dozens if not scores of Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Mixes. While not all of these dogs had their heads sufficiently together to be deemed adoptable, not a single one bit me and most of them were eventually successfully rehomed because of the Animal Orphanage’s enlightened policy towards Pit Bulls. My experience has been duplicated by scores if not hundreds of rescue volunteers across the country and beyond – volunteers who try to make a positive difference for a breed of dog that many in "polite society" have deemed it acceptable to treat with a combination of hatred, loathing and contempt that is born of ignorance and fear. I would be happy to meet with the residents of Hawk Lane in Evesham as well as township officials to discuss more reasonable responses to whatever legitimate concerns they have. I would also be happy to meet with the person allegedly "guard dog training" a Pit Bull puppy in order to assess what is really going on and to help point this person in a more responsible direction if necessary. In the meantime, what we don’t need is hysteria from the citizenry, the politicians OR the media. sincerely John F Richardson JohnR Pit Bull Libertarian Never sneer at the power of a little pink squeaky toy!
