 TRAINING THE PROBLEM DOG
BY GLADYS R, W RIGHT
It i s "'If o,,n opinion tn.t s0111e people
should never own a dog. Like s0111e 1ndivid-
11&la wo haTe a child wo is about a year
or a year ar>:I a halt old and thNw up
their hands and say that they just cannot
do anything with it, the dog or child soon
}earr,a that by doing certain things, it
can ha Te it I s own way. E1 ther by pouting,
shouting and screudng, or throwing itself
on the noor and holding it's breath, or
in the case ot the dog , perhaps gNwling
and snapping. Naturally, 1! it is not pun-
ished immediately wen the crime is com-
nd.tted, there is no uae punishing at all.
Whipping the dog, eTen two or three. min-
ut.s after the crl.ffle, will not have the
desired results: it ru.y help, but will not
=• and by just llhipping a dog, the situ-
ation can even be made worse.
I reel in training a dog, the dog needs
all the lo'f'e, patience, gentleness (ex-
cept the punishment should be as rough and
seTera as the 1nclividu.ol. dog can stand and
must be regulated according to the crime),
and praise the trainer 1s capable or, and
then a lot more. I !eel that is the oncy
RIG RT -y to train a dog . I f 1 t is all
beatings without the love and praise (to
giTe the dog a feeling of acc0111plishaent
and to keep his self-respect) then the dog
i• better off not trained at all , tor he
ru.y turn vicious or be cowed, or he should
definitely have another trainer .
If he gets no praise for a job well
done, how is he supposed to distinguish
between what you Vkftt and what you don •t
Vkftt without holding a grudge? And why
should he do what you Vkftt if he doesn't
get ~hing tor it?
I have neTer had &111 trouble with 1111f
dog "Rose" in regard to her snapping or
growling ( except in play) ,t me, but she
thinks that she can be a little nasty with
strangers.
Last Friday I ru.de the first, and most
ill!)Ort&nt step in br..idng her. It was
then that she began to think and reali£e
that I do not Vkftt her to do tn.t.
She had been punished before, but it is
like trying to explain a problem in mathe-
matics to a child. You ean explain and
reason, punish and explain again, but un-
til the child begins to think it out for
itself, the solution or the desired re-
sults will not come from the child, or in
this case, the dog .
This past Friday we had company and be-
cattae 11 Rose11 was 1n heat and I have no-
'llbere else to put her, she was tied (of aD.
QUINLAN, TEXAS - FALL 1966 EDITION
places) to the foot or w;y bed (I ha•e old
newspapers on the noor for her).
My friend• are dog loYers too, so they
brought along their Beagle puppy with
them, and like arr:, puppy, 1'Mac11 wanted to
1nv•st1gate each and every room and cor-
ner.
When Bob went vi th the puppy into 'Ill/I
room to se:, hello to "Foto 11 and 11 0M" who
were on 'llfJ' bed, 11 Rose" i.m.ediately l\U\ged
at 11Mac 11 , snapp1ng and growling, so I
caught her orr gll&rd, knocldng her otr har
feet.
I have found in SC111e, in fact in most
cases, that shaking the dog does a lot
more than slapping or cuffing . The do;;
usually do&s not become "hand shy" and it
co"'Pletely unnerves a dog to think that it
can be tossed to and fro, especially the
big dogs and the "thick skinned" ones. So
"Rose" had a good shaking (I took her by
the loose skin on her neck, shaking her
head Vigorously) and t.allcing te her in
angry, disgusted tones, then I made her lie
down.
When the dogs (1111 dogs) are "in the
house", I u.se the phrase 11 .sh&IG" dog 11 using
the most disgusted and belittling tone I
can. You see, I contrel 111// do;;s by voice
alone and I want 11Rose11 to be controlled
this~ too.
I knew by the look on her face and in
her eyes that we had made the first real
progress. I talked te her, explaining (and
believe ••• the dogs understand a lot more
or our "human talk" than we think) to her
that that is not ,..at I wanted at all, and
that people who come here are frier>:ls and
1IIUSt be treated with respect as such, etc.
Bob va,t to "R<iae'' and petted her while
I talked to her. She began to realize that
he was a friend &Dd not to snap. When Bob
turned to walk away 0-om. 11Rose11 , she did
not lunge at him like she has a habit or
doing when people turn their back on her
&Dd walk a~.
I praised her &Dd gave her a couple or
pieces o! dog canqy. Needless-to-say, for
the rest of the day, she got a lot of lov-
ing, petting and praise. She was walking
"on air11 and Yery proud or herselt to
think that she bad finally, by herself,
done saaething to pl•••• us all so much.
Being that she is a very intelligent dog,
I am completely confident that with a lit-
tle patience , a good deal of love ( llbich
all dogs need) and with repeated correc-
tion, she will be a well beh&Ted and well
mannered c1tizenl

Westpbalian st.a] J 1 t>tl8
Last November I had the privilege or
attending the Horse Show ..tdch was held in
conj\lnction with the International Live-
stock Exposition at the .Amphitheatre in
Chicago. During the course ot this show, I
had the pleasure of being introduced to
th• Westphallan Stallions ,ndch were pur-
chased by the Peter Hand Brewery Compaz,;y
tor their display purposes. Being such im-
pressed by the size, not to mention the
beauty or th••• magnificent horses, I was
greatly interested in learning more about
th•. Thus, through the court.sy of the
good Meister Brau people, I am now able to
present to you, the impressi ve Meister
Brau Westphallan Stallions, the o~ horses
ot their breed here in America.
Th• word 11dratt11 i n i tselt, 11eans the
"act of pulling heavy loads" and in this
respect , more than not, we associate the
•act ot pul.J.ing" with the draft hors, or ox
or &J\Y other type of draft ardmal.
In lookil1g at the Westphalian , we can
plainly recognize this breed I s capabilities
as a worker, but hardly would we think of
h1a as a saddle horse, just by bis size a-
lone. Yet, surprisingly enough, this breed
which datea back to the 1Jth Century, was
just that - a saddle horse, used priN.rily
as the kn:l.ght 1 s charger.
At that time, the main re<iuisite was to
develop a horse ..tdch would be of the size
and strength able to carry a heavily ar-
mor ed rider into battle . And so it was that
the Westpbalian came to be bred, possessing
all ot the quallties necessary to suit the
6 5'TODG HILl.'S ANIMAL RF.SEAllCH MAGAZINli
With the passing ot Medieval t.1.mes,
howeYer~ the need tor a hors e used to sup-
port his armor·6d- •ter becue ob$oleto,
and although these r9<1uil'--,ts vere no
longer necessary, the We.rt.ph&li&il In-Md
itself, did not pas s into n<>rH1xistence.
Instead, th•• • powerful animals took their
place as industrious dratt hors es; due to
their speed, tar superior to the slow oxen
..tdch were formerly mployed in this ca-
pacity.
For 111&111 long decades, theso ugni ti-
cent stallions served their masters veil
and evc,tually c..,• to play a pr Ollinent
role in Gel'm&n brewing by pulling B a ~
beer wagons over the IIIUdey roads and cob-
blestone .treets of that day. It is no
wonder ,aey- Donald E. G~•ry, Chairllan of
the Board of Directors of the Peter Hand
Browery Compaz,;y, purchased the Westphallan
hitch froa, the Lowonbrau Gardens at the
close of the New York World'• Fair. Nov
they are a prard.nont part of Chicago and
the midvest, a colorful reminder of the
early days or brewillll:,
It is interesting to note when looking
further into the history or the Westpha-
llan, that the breed itself is divided in-
to two categories. The first ot these are
the cold blooded horses which the G9""""s
refer to as "Kaltblut11 • These are namely
tor draft horses quit& similar to the
Meister Brau staJ Ji ons. The second cat&-
gory, however, refers to the warm blooded
horses or 1'Warmblut11 used tor riding.

aee ..t,y the breeding or either or both
these type• or Westphallans have been or
such importance to the Gerinan people and
,my they th•selves, a>-e so proud of their
tine breed .
'Ibis past August I had the pleasure or
being invited b,y the Meister Brau folks,
to viait th• Westphallan Bors• Farm in
Graysl..ake, Illinois. Ther e I met Mr. Donald

As aeyone might imagine, the training
and handling of these stallions in a four
horse bitch, is no easy matter and tor
this reason, Rudi Kurzenberger who va.s
ofter from Meister Brau to stay in charge .
The Westphalians understand only German
(which, of course, is natural) and so the
to teach &,glish to four tons of br&wn.Y
draft horses. Here again, is another one
of the reasons why' Mr. Kurzonberger ac-
cepted to • ~ on in America, with the
team. His experience, knowledge and real
love for these stallions, is truly an as-
s et in handling thaa and understanding
their needs.
In Germaiv, evon the bre«li.ng of these
horses i s controlled by the government and
so before the purchase could actually be
finalized, Peter Hand was obliged to
pledge to Lowenbrau officials and to the
German Trade Minister, that 11Pauli 11 ,
"Guatl11 , 11 Damerl 11 , 11Michl 11 and 11 Bl.asi 11

will work alorlf! with the others, and that
these are the only stallions trained to
work together in a draft horse hitch.
On sy visit to the f&l'!II, I was very much
illlpressed with Rudi !Cunenberger I s willing-
ness to help me 1 ..rn &l\Y and every aspect
of Westphalian breeding, training and care.
But in addition to his wnderM. coopera-
tion , I found hilll to be a man -who is as
talented as he is congenial.
The present hO!lle of the Westphallan
Stallions was once the site of a pol\Y f&l'!II,
Needless-to- ny, 11uch remodeling had to be
accai,plished in order to transform the
stable into a cO!llfortable and ro01111 houaing
for stallions or this great siEe, But to
Mr. Xurzenberger, the project of remodeling
the interior or the stable, presented lit-
tle probl•. He brcught with him from Ger-
lllAllY, his wonderful carpentry skills as
well as his skills in ironwork and carving.
Be is a "Jack of all trades" and to rq mind
I dare sq, be is a master of th• alll
The blacksml. th shop -which he hbasell
built, is a good example of his work. It is
here that he toils vith forge, anvil and
lwmer shaping and repairing shoes for the
five Westphallans, a job that is necessary
alloost every six woks.
Entering the shop, one acquires a feel-
ing or a pusing age and at &l\Y _..,t, ;you
expect to see the old covered wagons roll
on b;r. It is trul;r an authentic replica ot
yesteryear, and tor the 110st part, a shop

Border Collie 'J/1, e tV S
• aJRDl!R OOLLI!S J3 PITS"
By Tea D. Stodghill
I have worked lll&JV years "1th all types
or stockdogs and I knov that abiost any
good atoclcdog v1ll uke a good pet but 1t
1• a hard question to answr as to which
breed ukes the best pet and watchdog -
the Border Collie or the English Shepherd.
As "IY father and grandfather on both "IY
mother•• and f a ther'• aide bad English
Shapherds (111 t act, -.r •other ' s great-un-
cle Henry Clay brought a pair of English
Shepherds Crea England at the ...e ti.lie h•
brought the fust registered Hereford cat-
tle to America and a s tar back aa I can
get any record on "IY family, ve I l l bad
Jlncl1eb Shtrpherda) I can't help but be
partial to this breed. But I haTe also had
Border Collies tor 1U1l3' years, and 1! you
want a dog to always be on the job when
raising a pup vit h your children, there
isn't a better vatcbdog than a Border Col-
lie and that is espeoial]J' true it you
have very S111&ll children,
Border Collies lo1re babies but the s . .o
thil'lg holds true for the English Shepherd.
Mother trains the pup by talJc1ng to tho
ba by, She vill say nJohm\y, keep oft the
street" uey times until the Border Collie
1s staying between the street and the baby
and 1f the small child gets too close to
the sidewalk, the Border Collie vill catch
the baby's dress and pull the child off tte
street. In fact, the same dog vill keep
baby lambs 1n the pasture and drive thm
to the lot at night. Hov could a dog that
has been trained for hwidreds of years to
watch baby sheep, fail to watch his us-
tor's baby just as vell as the same dog
would watch the little lambs .
The soft touch ot the Border Collie 1s
what ukes this breed very desirable tor a
housedog and the best of I l l b&by o1tters.
It there is a young child 1n tho tudly and
the Border Colli• bas th• run of tho house,
ho vill keep an "'f• on that baby just like
a bodyguard, and this is especially true if
the baby 1s on the noor on a rug.
It a registered Border Collie pup, tho
type that could v1n sheep dog trials or pen
the cows, vas raised vith a baby and 1f the
■other ot the child giv•• the b&by the cor-
rect hOllle t!'a1n1ng, the Border Colli• vill
be trying to do abiost nerything mother
tells the baby to do. She may say "Johnny,
bring •• your shoes" and while mother ia

everything mother tells Johnny to do.
As the boy grws older, he v1ll have his
Border Collie doing I l l killds of things tor
him, When he is old enough to go fishing,
the Border vill go along and ldll snakes,
tree squirrels, coon or anything else he
can find. He also ll&kes a good retriner
tor ducks, pheasants or quail, but the
black and tan English Shepherd 1s just as
good for killing snakes, treeing squirrels ,
coon or bobcat as the Border Collie,
Personolly, I have always tried to s4"'1d
nary one of rq ,rery best pups as pets tor
children because a dog for a pet and vatch-

"" bought our present Aussie, I heard no-
thing but "You CAN 1 T keep an Aussie in
the house. '11le,y just aren •t that lcind of

proved r,ry point. 11Bobby11 is the ideal
house dog . He is smll enough not to be
in the way, big enough to be a very ef-
ficient guard , is a great cOlllp&llion and
pal for my son, and every child in the
neighborhood adores hlJrt. Re has been
raised in the house, walked on the leash
and las been ro,,,ped within our .....u,

has worked out perfectly for "Bobby" , our
neighbors (l'ho &11 praise him because he
is the most quiet dog in the area), and
for my family. With no training 'Whatever

Since sheep hording jobs are in a lim-
ited supply, I think the Aussie will go
over equally well as a guard and compan-
ion for those who have a home in urb&n
and suburban areas. He is an attractive
dog , a sensible dog, a clean dog, and a
dog that enjoys his fardly. He does not
need eoctensive training as he has an in-
born knowledge of the right and wrong
thing to do in a given situation. He has
proved this maey tlJrtes in his farm work
where he was placed on his own and wu
axpeeted to handle anything that came up.
I have researched the origin of the
Australian Shepherd just as far as pos-
sible and have always run into a dead
end. I am strongly inclined to believe
that the rancher in Australia 'Who talked
to ,q friends, had the best information
on them. He definitely knev of the breed
as, when fll/f friends described our merled baby lambs and - s hea")' 1n lamb, tlat it

Speckled version that my uncle was able

viously expl ained, our version ot the
Australian Shepherd is identie&l to the
Australian dog in every way but markings

In it, he competed against a field of 82
dogsl He also won bis neoct trial against
62 dogs and on both occasions, scored
over 90 points.
The two picture.s below, prove beyond
a doubt, the abilities of this dog. In
the first one, he is driving a portion
of a nock of sheep. Notice his dist1nc-
tive style and "eye". In the second pho-
tograph, he is seen forcing sheep 1n a
race and is going over the top of them.
This Kelpie is a versitile worker,
good on sheep and cattle as well-in:leed,
a dog that any tanner or rancher would
be proud to call his ownl

pies, and after viewing the film, the As-

sociation returned it to Australia.
