Feminist Update: Train Your Husband Like A Dog (El Rushbo On Metrosexual Whimps Craze Alert)

RUSH: I gotta share these next two sound bites with you. This is a total change of pace, but I promised myself I'd get these in today, and so I'm going to fulfill the promise. What I have here, first off is a story from the Times of London. It's about a woman named Annie Clayton. She has a book, video, whatever called "Bring Your Husband to Heel," and she says, "'You can use your skills as a dog trainer to retrain husbands. How does it work? Well, all animals from parrots to goldfish to gorillas learn in the same way. If something is worth doing, we'll repeat it. If it's not, we won't. It's called operant conditioning.' Why are men like dogs? Because they bite visitors, because they leave hair on the sofa? 'Research says that dogs and humans learn in the same way. I suppose there are similarities, they're both omnivores. They like to be worn. They copulate in the same way -- or similar, don't they? But there's no husband bashing in this,' she says. 'We examined every wife's behavior first because you can't change somebody else's actions until you've changed yours.' You're happily married. Did you have to train your husband?" Here we go. That's the story leading into the sound bites. This babe was on Good Morning America today, was on ABC, and this is a BBC show, How to Train Your Husband by this woman that's a dog trainer, and it's a new series that teaches wives how to train their husbands using techniques meant for dogs. Here's how Annie Clayton, a canine behaviorist and host opens her program. "Pay attention, ladies. I've been training dogs for nearly 20 years but I've been married a whole lot longer and I firmly believe you can train a husband like a dog because, well, they both learn in exactly the same way. I'll let you into a little secret. I'm living proof it works: I haven't washed a dish in years."

RUSH: Okay (laughing) and here, just one more segment, a portion of ABC correspondent Jim Sciutto's report on this BBC program. This is what he said.

SCIUTTO: Meet the show's first husband and wife and master and student, Margaret and John Elliott, married for 37 years. It is all about throwing bones, more "good dog" than "sit" and "stay."

CLAYTON: You're going to ignore what you don't want anymore. Replace that behavior you don't want with something that you do want, which is helping you with the dishes. But you must reward each tiny, tiny increment towards the whole.

SCIUTTO: Margaret practices on a real dog first -- husbands can relax; she will not be using the leash at home -- and then, with hidden cameras recording every moment, she puts the formula to the test on her husband, and John, to his own surprise, ends up just another puppy dog. The men are kept in the dark. They're told they're taking part in a relationship study. It's not until the very end that they find out exactly what they've gotten themselves into.

RUSH: There was a guy that worked at BBC who quit last week. He wrote a piece in a London newspaper about how the country's gone to hell over there because it's totally being run by female thinking; news organizations have been totally feminized -- and I just find it interesting that this story (laughing) comes on the heels (ahem) of that.

"Imagine the uproar id someone came out with a book about how to train your wife,"

Thinking the same thing.

The only person that can get me to do anything is my 3 year old grandson. All the rest have given up.

[Brad’s Gramma]

LOL!!!!!!!!

[Rhetorical pi2]

So, if I start peeing on the floor, and smelling butts, and shedding on the sofa, she is gonna start throwing Tostitos to me, and rubbing my stomach, putting vodka and tonic in my bowl?

I'm up with that!! May I hold my head out the window while she drives?

Now - about positions.... :0)

[Dashing Dasher]

Imagine the uproar if someone came out with a book about how to train your wife.

Apparently you don't remember the 1950's!

[Dashing Dasher]

Your husband is quite handsome.

Is he a boxer?



LOL!!!

Several gurus in the self help field do teach men to dump and seduce women. Part of that is entrainment. Judith Regan edited an expose on the niche that is set to be released next month.

Of course, I learned everything I know from my Dad, and from observing both my own failures and the failures of others. And our successes, too.

Ping... a ling...

...the country's gone to hell over there because it's totally being run by female thinking...and I just find it interesting that this story (laughing) comes on the heels (ahem) of that.

Ya think?

[tophat9000]

Your women trying to train you like a dog?...Fine, start craping on her carpet and peeing on her leg till she stops

[patton]

Oh, go take a flying leap...LOL

[papertyger]

Sit Ubu, sit.

HAHAHAHA - Metrosexuals, thanks to the brilliance of El Rushbo, can now be defined as trained husbands. Women really ARE in charge. Its the U.K but men have gotten too soft to stand up for themselves.

I heard this today too while at work. I turned to my co-worker, also a conservative (we can listen on our headphones), and I said, "and these people used to have an Empire at one time, now look at them. Sad, really." A few days ago, after work, we talked about the Empire system on how many nations who used to be world powers have really fallen. I think most of the real men (well, non-Freeper types, UK Freepers are OK and are considered real men/women, I want to keep the friendy fire down to a minimum) are the soccer hooligans, tank them up on alcohol and there ain't no stopping them. B-) Still though, we ain't that far behind with all the Madame Sapphos we have over her who want to castrate our society.

Thanks. I needed that.

"Just don't expect to get the dishes done. ;-)"

That's why they make dishwashers...ain't it?

[JLO]

Ha! This looks more like it, except my guy is way gray haired. Cats, no dogs. Note, all of these photos were sent to me. They're not mine.

[PaulaB]

Ok ladies

Not Trained



Trained

[NY Attitude]

Wasn't there a movie along this theme that had Sandra Dee in it?

[MamaTexan]

Is he a boxer?

ROFL!

Seriously...articles like this make me appreciate the fact my husband was already trained when I married him!

[arasina]

That's why they make dishwashers...ain't it?

I still get to use the leash though, right? :^*

[Pearls Before Swine]

Seriously...articles like this make me appreciate the fact my husband was already trained when I married him!

Did someone else do the hard work first, or was it genetic?
