That's EZ! You EXXXTINGHISH the HABIT JUST
LIKE HOWE you'd EXXXTINGUISH ANY HABIT
like C-HOWENTER SURFIN or GARBAGE CAN
CHASING or MURDERIN your HOWESKAT or
BUNNY or a little innocent DEAD DOG at the park.

Yeah. That'll LOOK bad.

The CAUSE is usually anxiHOWESNESS.
mauijnp is a DOG ABUSER like yourself, leah.

If there's a likliehood a PROBLEM is behaivoral
we TRAIN the dog and CURE the BEHAVIOR
PROBLEM. If it's MEDICAL the BEHAVIOR
PROBLEM WON'T CURE NEARLY INSTANTLY
so we KNOW to take the dog to the vet.

No, on accHOWENT of if it's BEHAVIORAL
we can EXXXTINGUISH THE PROBLEM
NEARLY INSTANTLY if you know HOWE.
> Could be allergies.
Allergies are often just STRESS INDUCED AUTO-
IMMUNE DIS-EASE like MOST of HOWER DOG
LOVER'S DOGS GOT on accHOWENT of you
ABUSE them.
Here's a couple of NEARLY INSTANTLY SUCCESSFUL
FREE WWW Wits' End Dog Training Method Manual
Students who CURED this SAME SAME PROBLEM
NEARLY INSTANTLY.
YOU CALL THEM LIARS. REMEMBER, leah?:

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
F***ing Manual" ;-) I used the manual and it works very good!
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
offcourse)
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.
