When the dog is in position, praise lavishly even though you executed the movement not the dog.Encourage by taking a treat or toy.If the dog backs up do the technique near the couch or a fence where he has nowhere to go. So, here's how NOT to train your dog:- Forget that your dog has a nature unlike yours. Hold off on food treats until you really need them. But dogs make choices very differently from people.In really hard cases, kneel nd put the leash loop under one foot and slide it under the knee of the opposite leg, facing at a slight angle to the dog. Try to be away from other voices. When you have his attention move the treat slowly back toward the tail. Watch and catch them in the middle of sitting and say 'sit' and gesture. That way a dog associates the behavior with the command. Take special care with young hips - don't force a completely uncooperative dog this way. You have to be geared up to repeat the same order, day in and day out, and occasionally not get the same outcome.Some dogs likely are what would, in humans, be called obstinate.To command sit, stand and face the dog then make the command.. Beyond the need to establish that you are the alpha (leader), it has a number of benefits. Most times, they are not ignoring the command as much as failing to understand it. Wait for a movement from standing or sitting to down.Patience and commitment is key to training any behavior. Dog Training - How NOT To Train Your DogJust about every dog owner truly wants to train their dog well. Fortunately, almost every dog can learn 'sit' quickly.Repetition, consistency (reward only for the proper action), and enthusiasm will quickly lead to learning the 'sit'. At completion praise lavishly and reward. Follow those futile techniques and you'll harvest the pay back of a neurotic dog and you will be an unhappy owner. Never reward until the behavior is complete - Also don't become tense or angry after failure. Don't be harsh, but don't give up easily either.Dog Training - Down Command - Dogs have a natural inclination to adhere to a hierarchy with an alpha (leader) at the top. As important is what he is not doing! In a sit dogs can't chase cats, knock over furniture, run into the street. Now bring out other techniques.- Get impatient and frustrated when they don't behave as you want them to. And never let him train you. It seems it should be obvious - they've done the action with

Quackery
The Criticism section can be summed up by Quackery. I added Quackery to the see also section and it has been deleted. Linking this page to that page is helpful to the reader. What is the best way to make that link? WAS 4.250 06:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Who uses quackery?
I'm having some doubts about this though, like Ian above. So, who actually uses the term "quackery" in their criticism? I looked a bit for Goldacre, and I could find one place but rather indirectly about McKeith (search for "quackery" to see the context). Of course we have the article "Is McKeith a Quack". This is a difficult issue. --Merzul 03:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Letter to the editor
Regarding this paragraph:
In response, Jan Krokowski of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency wrote a letter to New Scientist , warning readers that "lue-green algae — properly called cyanobacteria — are able to produce a range of very powerful toxins, which pose health hazards to humans and animals and can result in illness and death." (Krokowski, Jan. "Blue-green for danger", New Scientist , January 14, 2006. Accessed February 13, 2007)
I wrote to Krokowski to ask whether he'd written the letter on behalf of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, and he has replied that he wrote it as a private individual. This seems to be a case of someone simply using his employer's address. I'll forward the e-mail if people need to see it.
Should we remove it, edit it to remove the SEPA reference, or leave it as it is? SlimVirgin (talk) 09:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Her father
Well, at least there has been some progress since I last saw this, especially flattening the criticism section and putting the rebuttals at the appropriate places. Now, I wanted to add something about her father dying and she going on a crusade against smoking. It's such a sentimental story and Max Clifford is really proud of it, but... the cited article said his father was a "Shipyard worker" and our other source says he is a "civil servant", so are there many shipyard working civil servants in the UK, or do we have a conflict here? --Merzul 04:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
It is a very touching story, it makes it a better story and appeals to more people if he was working class.:) Probably he was one, then went on to be the other. I liked the other story too that said she was brought up on junk food. On another note, are people happy with the 'screaming fat women being given enemas by gillian' type quote in the section on her TV programmes? It's quite funny I suppose lolMerkinsmum 04:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
McKeith's own response to the reporting of the ASA debacle
Why don't people want it included, that she still feels able to use the title Dr. as and when she wants? It's useful because to an extent it must be relevant to what the ASA document about her title actually said (which we haven't seen.) i.e. she says it's only because a disclaimer saying she was not a medical doctor was not included on a leaflet. There'd be little point in her lying about what they'd said, as the ASA would really not be happy with her then. She obviously believes in the value of her PhD, that's her opinion and shes entitled it. It is accredited- just by an alternative medicine, not government recognised source. She's done (some) work I mean whatever it was took at least 3 years, she didn't just get it overnight in return for payment of a sum. And she's right, she's not thick and has a good degree and MA from good, recognised institutions, (Edinburgh and Pennsylvania) she could have gone where she wanted, although it may have taken her longer to change subjectsMerkinsmum 12:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
You added:
The source says:
So Gibson says she has agreed to not call herself a doctor in an ad and then quotes her as saying she does not agree to any such thing. I disagree that we can use this to "know" anything other than that Gibson is contradicting himself or at least being very unclear. Further, that the specific incident involved a specific leaflet does not mean that the issue is "only" about that leaflet. That is nonsense as the agreement is about paid ads in general. The content you added is not supported by the source you provide when the whole of the source is used to evaluate it. So 1:That the case used a specific leaflet as evidence has no importance as to the general finding of Dr being misleading and the agreement to not use it in paid ads. And 2:The source contradicts itself on whether she will continue to use Dr or not on paid ads. WAS 4.250 13:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Writing for Max Clifford
Jokes aside, WP:WFTE has a link to Principle of charity, and that's an article I would recommend to our more critical editors; because that's what this article desperately misses. This woman is presented entirely through the eyes of her enemies; so without joking, we need to write a bit for Max Clifford. --Merzul 02:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The claim that she's endangering people's lives is surely hyperbole
She promotes "Miracle superfood: wild blue-green algae" which can be deadly; and whose deadly effects is called "detoxification" by the quacks. In other words, as it poisons you the quacks are telling you it is helping you. It has been legally dealt with but our laws are weak against lying profit centers that give campaign contributions.
Cyanobacteria is the scientific name for blue-green algae, or "pond scum." Cyanobacterial toxins are the naturally produced poisons stored in the cells of certain species of cyanobacteria. One group of toxins produced and released by cyanobacteria are called microcystins because they were isolated from a cyanobacterium called Microcystis aeruginosa. Microcystins are the most common of the cyanobacterial toxins found in water, as well as being the ones most often responsible for poisoning animals and humans who come into contact with toxic blooms. Although many people have become ill from exposure to freshwater cyanobacterial toxins, death from algal-contaminated drinking water is unlikely to occur given that water resources are usually effectively managed to control taste, odour and other algae-related problems. It's possible that extended exposure to low levels of cyanobacterial hepatotoxins could have long-term or chronic effects in humans. Historically, large-scale harvesting of blue-green algae masses was done for research purposes, to study their properties, their possible use as therapeutic and antibiotic agents, and their potential as agricultural commodities. Today, the algae used to manufacture blue-green algal products are harvested from controlled ponds or natural lakes. Before or during harvest, some types of algae will naturally produce chemicals such as microcystins, and these toxins could be retained in the blue-green algal products. Blue-green algal products are sold in some pharmacies and health food stores as food supplements, often in tablet or caplet form. Health Canada is advising consumers to apply caution in their use of the products until evidence of their safety can be firmly established. In particular, adult consumers who choose to use products containing non-Spirulina blue-green algae should do so for short periods of time only. However, consumers can safely use products made only from Spirulina blue-green algae as these were found to be free of microcystins. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/water-eau/drink-potab/cyanobacteria-cyanobacteries_e.html
In 1982, Microalgae International Sales Corp. (MISCORP) and its founder, Christopher Hills, agreed to pay $225,000 to settle charges that they had made false claims about spirulina. The company had claimed that its spirulina products were effective for weight control and had therapeutic value against diabetes, anemia, liver disease, and ulcers. On May 5, 1999, the Canadian Health Protection Branch warned that products containing blue-green algae may contain toxins harmful to the liver and some species of blue-green algae naturally produce toxins known as microcystins. To determine the extent of this problem, Health Canada, through the Office of Natural Health Products, Therapeutic Products Program, and the Food Directorate of the Health Protection Branch, surveyed products to determine how many are on the market, in what forms they are, and the levels of microcystins they contain. On September 27, 1999, the survey results were announced in a news release: Results of Health Canada's market survey testing of blue-green algal products show that no microcystins were detected in products made from only one type of blue-green algae, Spirulina blue-green algae, which is generally harvested from controlled ponds. However, testing indicates that for many non-Spirulina blue-green algal products, harvested from natural lakes, consumption according to manufacturers directions results in a daily intake of microcystins above that considered acceptable by Health Canada and the World Health Organization. Microcystins are toxins which accumulate in the liver and can cause liver damage. They are naturally produced by some kinds of blue-green algae. Blue-green
