狗狗情绪智商大补帖
2007-12-05 16:19
虽然狗狗在成长过程中无时无刻不在学习，不过尤其是在出生后19天-12周，此时因为狗狗的脊椎逐渐成熟而且大脑髓鞘化开始，他们的神经系统始终持续不断地发展并储存资讯以备不时之须。幼犬在此成长过程中并行经历三个关键阶段为其一生个性朔造影响深远：
--铭记期6-10周
此时幼犬对周遭发生的任何事物极为敏感，不论是好是坏一辈子都将印象深刻，在此期间我们必须绝对避免任何负面纠正如大声斥责、惊吓、喷水，更别说是打骂或任何形示的体罚。（其实万不得以以上负面纠正就算成犬也应尽量避免）。不过这可是狗狗一生最重要的黄金学习阶段，同窝幼犬在此时会藉由碰撞、仆打、轻咬等肢体互动学习犬类沟通分寸并寻求自我群体地位，当幼犬行为过激造成对方不适，哀嚎声会引来母犬纠正不良行为，让幼犬了解轻重，一而再三幼犬就会熟悉哀嚎声与母犬的制止而开展自我控制，若太早把幼犬抱回人类家庭，错过此阶段宝贵学习经验的幼犬，未来很难避免不良行为。
--信赖期7周开始
野生狼群中的幼狼在七周前行动是被限制于母狼身边，因为肢体于七周后发展较完全才允许探测外界。在7周以前过多的刺激不论是正面或负面都不适宜。所以将幼犬抱回家较理想的时间是7周以后，主人应尽量让幼犬接触新鲜的人事物，同时确保每次探索新事物都是好玩有趣的！
--社交期7-16周
幼犬社交能力从12周开始下降，早期未经适当社会化熏陶的幼犬，长大后对任何人事物较易处处充满戒心，除了遇事反应过度之外，更将造成学习障碍，甚至发展成胆却或具攻击性。不过这种遗憾也不是完全无法补救，只不过矫正过程相对漫长。
狗狗的行为表现35%靠天生，65%受后天环境影响，也可以说狗狗的好性情是他一生正面经验的总合, 所以在幼犬初到家时正值7-16周的社交期，作主人的必须提供狗狗社交训练的成长大补帖。
社交训练代表着接触各式各样有趣新鲜以及过瘾的经验：
--依照个别狗狗接受度逐渐引荐新鲜人事物，最忌讳强迫狗狗接近他不喜欢的东西，因为狗狗反而会对目标产生负面情绪，比如说狗狗特别对婴儿车不友善，作主人的请理解狗狗不见得了解婴儿推车与婴儿是两回事，在野外尖细的叫声代表示弱，试想当狗狗第一次遇见发出尖细婴儿哭声的婴儿车，他本能的表达高姿态地示威，却被主人不经意喝斥，往后他对其他类似的东西能不产生敌意吗？此时主人万万不可火上浇油地每逢婴儿车就扯紧牵引带，反而加重狗狗紧张反应。为了消除不安全感，最佳办法是借一辆婴儿车，采循序渐进的方式奖励狗狗看到婴儿车时保持平和；在婴儿车旁练习他拿手的服从指令，每次训练向婴儿车拉近些许距离即可，进行中若狗狗开始不良反应，则退回前一次训练的距离，不要操之过急一个劲地强迫狗狗就范。关键是重新建立狗狗对婴儿车的观感，在狗狗尚未接受婴儿车之前，主人于散步时必须尽量提早避开迎面而来婴儿车，否则一次惨痛的负面经验将使之前的心血前功尽弃。
--固定提供狗狗尝鲜的机会，让他可自在地探索并与日常生活中的一切事物与声音互动，不同的人、狗、汽车、自行车、滑板、吸尘器、穿制服的人…等，甚至春天出生的幼犬必须认知穿羽绒大外套的人不是从外星来的怪兽，主人打著伞或戴上太阳眼镜也不是甚麽恐怖的异形变种。第一次乘车时请准备好他喜欢的玩具与零食奖励，不要等到剪趾甲时手忙脚乱，平常没事就抚摸脚掌，甚至用趾甲剪碰触。给狗狗刷牙不但有益口腔卫生，更可减低狗狗看牙时的过激反应，家中若有孩童务必让狗狗习惯从他口中取出食物或玩具。
--散步与玩球不应该取代公园、郊游与服丛训练，因为它们提供许多互动与探索的机会，说白一点就是让狗狗多见世面，以避免到在陌生环境中惊慌失措。相信任何从事服丛训练的主人都有过同样经验，在家中或后院驾轻就熟的指令，一到了公园后则完全抛诸脑后，彷弗暂时失忆！请千万不可责备狗狗或对公园敬而远之，反之下次请带著狗狗具有的致命吸引的奖励，谨记以玩乐为己任的狗狗们深知重赏之下必有勇夫的道理！
--狗宝宝主人可以送狗狗最宝贵的礼物，不是真皮项圈，也不是时髦背心，而是幼犬社交课。其实经验老道的育种人仕会从狗狗刚出生三天起就每天固定给新生幼犬作全身按摩，除了刺激脑部成长、运动神经反应外，甚至可促进体重与毛发增长，更重要的是让幼犬开始习惯接触人类的手。
因为幼犬出生84天以后社交能力开始下降，4个月前是幼犬社交课的黄金时期，不过这往往成为兽医与训犬师之间的争论，因为通常4个月大幼犬尚未完全打完六合一疫苗，狗宝宝主人担心犬小病毒感染，连门都不敢出更别说带幼犬上课，但要知道负责任的幼犬社交课都会要求上课的学生提出疫苗注射进度医生证明，这个矛盾其实是可以避免的。
经过持续训练固然可以造就狗狗的技能，但良好的性情可以让学习事半功倍，以上并非航太科技，只要把握黄金学习时间多用点心为我们的狗宝贝奠定好狗民的基础！

Good Dog Upbringing (November 20, 2007)
2007-11-20 15:43
By now you may be able to agree with me that good dog is not evaluated by a dog’s IQ, but mostly his temperament. If you have read previous articles, you may have encountered the word: temperament. How do we human foster good temperament in a dog. Just like the old saying “it takes the whole village to raise a kid”, it takes the whole family pack to nurture a well accomplished dog. A good dog can not solely relies on Obedience Training, it is imperative to undergo collateral family upbringing based on house rules imbed in the dog’s every routines. They may sounds clichés, but please scrutinize and see if you have reinforced them resolutely, consistently and fairly with your dog?
Feeding:
How many times you feed your dog daily? For puppy younger than 6 months old, you may need to feed them 3-4 times a day. 6-month to 1-year 2 times. Once for adult dog. I only need to give you one main reason why you need to regulate a dog’s meal time? To regulate and keep track of his potty schedule. In the circumstance that the dog is home alone during the day, I would still recommend you to feed him in the morning before you go to work and when you come home at night. Do not leave an overflowing food bowl, but a safe chew instead. Don’t worry I guarantee you, the dog will not starve because he misses lunch!
Dog should be fed AFTER human’s meal. If your dog is used to roam freely during human meal time, the whole family members need to ignore the dog’s reactions (whine, jump, paw, or sit and stare) the whole time. If reactions get annoying, please keep the dog in his crate or another room. Feeding is the best opportunity to practice “Sit/Stay/Focus” command. Of course it takes time for the hungry dog to master. At the beginning the dog may lung and jump when you lower food bowl. Give your Negative Marker (mine is “Eh-eh”) and body block his momentum. Provided he keeps 4-on-floor (all four feet on the ground), the food bowl is lowering bit by bit. If the dog gets too excited, simply put the bowl on the counter and leave. This is a very serious punishment for a hungry dog in fact; professionally called Timed Out!
Sleeping:
Dog can not sleep in human bed nor sofa; instead he should have his own sleeping quarters; ideally a crate. Before he is house broken, the dog should be confined during the night. Even during the day, the dog should be leashed under supervision. As soon as you sense his intention to jump onto sofa, you should gently pull him away and lead him to a designated spot. It is important to place a mat or a blanket at the corner of living room out of the family traffic but allow the dog to be habitualized with daily activities.
House Manner:
Try to recollect the first time your puppy arrive your home, how was he introduced? The correct way of bringing puppy to new environment is leading him touring the house with leash. As long as he ventures into an off-limited place (master bed room) or forbidden object (garbage can), you can stop moving and clap your hand or tap your lap to get his attention, reward him for veering back to you. When Obedience Training advances, you can incorporate “Leave It” into his everyday life.
Playing:
Don’t tell me that you have never heard of: “a tired dog is a good dog!” Most dog owners underestimate their pets’ requirement of energy consumption and mental stimulation until bad habits surface themselves. The problem can be easily prevented by playing with the dog properly.
First of all if you don’t like your furniture or yourself becoming your dog’s chewing toy, just provide appropriate chew toy. Appropriateness is manifested by not resembling to your furniture, attire, and children’s toy or too easy to be “killed and swallowed”. Contemporary dog owners are lucky because so many dog lovers have developed great products like Kong. Just one reminder, red Kong is for light and average chewers, black Kong is for tough ones. Kong is excellent because you can stuff your dog’s favorite treats with peanut butter that will keep him occupied for several hours when you are gone.
The best game you can teach your dog is “FETCH”; I know that is not an easy one. Before your dog can master, you can start by playing Dog Ping Pong and Catch Me by gradually extending the distance. The worst games you can play with your dog are: play slapping, vigorous fighting and tug-of-war.
Let dog be dog! (Aug 31, 2007)
2007-11-20 11:11
Among so many pet candidates, bird is much more beautiful and gracious, cat is more gentle and soothing, rabbit is more lovable and docile, and chimpanzee is more intelligent and deft, how come dog beats all the other domestic animals such as cow, sheep, pig, chicken and ventures into living room of their human masters? Certainly everyone may talk with fever and assurance about their passion for dog, but sometimes it is purely because we fall in love into something without any reason that is the most precious life experience! I don’t know about yours, the uniqueness, simplicity, earnestness and persistence in dog fascinate me.
Indisputably, dog is a fascinating but complex species. Too often people project human characters and emotions onto dogs, this actually renders no benefit to dogs and sometimes it can be detrimental. Then, how can we do the right thing and do thing right? Dog loving people should endeavor themselves to comprehend the confusing canine inborn behaviors. Stop treating dogs fury little people, but just treat them as DOG. When you treat dogs like surrogate children, you spare no efforts loving and pampering them, you give them whatever they like unconditionally, endless sweet talks and 24/7 attention all that elevates the dog’s social hierarchy in the pack structure. Certainly they are by no means normal for human, pet is for loving!
Therefore, dogs naturally born with confidence develops dominant aggressive trait under the excessive caress of innocent owners. No one should disturb the dog’s nap, nobody can touch his toy, he always occupies his favorite spot on the sofa, and he changes whichever directions as he wishes during walking. Of course, they are not life and death habits to owners. But someday the dog attacks a neighbor child “out of the blue” will stun the kind-hearted owner! “Caress Disorder” (Can I put it this way?) is most detrimental to naturally fearful submissive dog. As the self-imposed social status leads to tremendous anxiety and agitation as it doesn’t actually match his strength and capability. Worst situation is if the dog sees no leader in the pack, he needs to take on the role he can’t manage. Then he starts to bark whoever passes by his assumed territory, throws himself against fences to protect the family. To release the pressure, he may start to chew furniture, have accident in the house, lick or even bite his paws.
I trust no pet lover would like to face this situation. But if we don’t understand and accept canine inborn behaviors and natural temperament, when problematic behaviors present themselves, we will not be able to cope properly. Especially when a dog doesn’t realize how to be a dog, tension between dog/human relationships is doomed to deteriorate! However, as long as we can make efforts to understand proper canine socialization. Pet dog actually prefers to be position the bottom of your family pack and let human to be the leader and taking all the responsibilities taking care of the pack. Let the dog be dog!
