Bad Dog! Do Not Own Yet!


When we were looking for a dog, every time we came upon a breed of dog we didn’t know about we would run to the computer and do a google and learn a little something about the potential pet.

On one site Anna found herself in, to go forward where the information was you had to tell them your name and your dog’s name. Because we wanted some information but did not have a dog yet under the blank for the name of the dog Anna put “Do Not Own Yet”.

Now, she has received countless of emails with special offers for dog books and other things for her and her dog Do Not Own Yet.

Here is an actual email, doctored to protect the blind and in bold is the mistaken name:

Hi Anna,

Dem Ranking here from http://www.thedogsbowwowwow
hoping you and Do Not Own Yet are doing well.

Today I'd like to show you a fun trick you can
teach Do Not Own Yet in no time flat.

Here it is:

"How To Teach Do Not Own Yet To Wave Hello"

First, start out with Do Not Own Yet in the SIT position.

(Note: If you're having trouble getting Do Not Own Yet to
SIT when you say "sit" ...and to STAY when you say
"stay", you should check out my guaranteed training
system here: http://www.thedogsyyakyakyak

Now, with Do Not Own Yet sitting in front of you,
gently tickle the hairs on one of the dog's
front paws.

THIS PART IS CRUCIAL:
As soon as Do Not Own Yet's paw moves,
praise your dog and give a treat.

It's important to praise and reward Do Not Own Yet
immediately ...even if the paw just barely
moves.

Now repeat this process quickly until Do Not Own Yet
starts to pick up the same foot ...without
you tickling the hairs.

(It might take a few repetitions, but Do Not Own Yet
will get the hang of it.)

Next, you want to keep praising and rewarding,
Do Not Own Yet every time the paw comes up
...but gradually withold your praise until
Do Not Own Yet's paw comes up a little higher
each time.

Your goal is to have Do Not Own Yet's paw come up
about chest high.

...Do Not Own Yet's chest, that is :-)

Once Do Not Own Yet raises the paw to chest height
CONSISTENTLY, add the command "wave" or
"high five" just before rewarding and praising
...while the paw is in the air.

So if you were to map this out in
Do Not Own Yet's mind, the "timeline"
for this trick would look like this:


COMMAND ---> DESIRED BEHAVIOR ---> REWARD

It's pretty simple, really.

In fact, training a Miniature-Schnauzer to do
just about anything will follow that
same pattern.

BUT, there's a catch.

You've got to first lay some CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT groundwork in order to accelerate
Do Not Own Yet's training ...and guarantee
the training "sticks".

If you don't follow these vital
(but easy) steps, you'll make the same
mistake that countless other Miniature-Schnauzer
owners make ...and Do Not Own Yet can end up
being a strain on you ...and a nuisance to
others.

That's why you owe it to yourself
and to Do Not Own Yet to check out my
guaranteed training system for
Miniature-Schnauzers here:

http://www.thedogsblabalbalbal

If you use the easy methods in this
breakthrough system, Do Not Own Yet will
listen to you and obey you every time.

Period.

And that's not just a promise, it's a
guarantee.

In fact, try my system out for three
full months.

If Do Not Own Yet doesn't snap to attention
and obey your every command ...just let
me know and I'll give you ALL of your
money back.

And YOU CAN KEEP THE ENTIRE SYSTEM
FREE.

No tricks, no gimmicks, no B.S.

It's all spelled out for you here:
http://www.thedogxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you're serious about keeping
Do Not Own Yet well trained ...and
therefore having a good long term
relationship with your dog then
you'll put this amazing system
to work for you right now.

Sincerely,


xx

  1. I believe it. I remember reading years ago how a guy actually got his dog signed up for the Navy - and some got credit cards and SS #'s.
