Relations dog owner

How beautiful it is usually the relationship between dogs and owners, if they hear and see all the colors: These are for example some of the comments I hear do when it comes to dogs and education or training: "The sound of my dog \u200b\u200bthem to him, the important thing is to teach the fine things, no? " Other examples a little more specific? Here soon served: Fido bites me, I say: Ugly, look 'cos you did to my mother, ask forgiveness! And he comes and I get to lick, then he has repented! "" My dog \u200b\u200bdoes not eat the cheese, in fact not even eat hot dogs, he does not like, the flesh, but do not go crazy here now eat with pleasure the tuna cans. "" My Dog, a young labrador 6 months living in a box of 5 square meters, why do not is large enough, you know if I keep it free and then not run away when I call back, "I wonder why? As you can see there more than anywhere else, in these few lines, there is a world inhabited by so many dogs and owners. The type "I know everything", the dog must be trained, dominated, beaten, tortured, abused, abandoned and ruined, and then maybe changed. see how it all ends with ed, type "dog = child that the dog be pampered, spoiled , spoiled, ruined, and then left again and changed. yet all in ato. Because in the end, any kind of owner you are, it is likely that if your dog does not satisfy you, you're going to get rid of it in one way or another. What beautiful relationship between these dogs and their owners, the first type, stress wreaks on the dog days of hard work, the harassment suffered by the head office, or perhaps has the warrior spirit of a soldier thought to be the general of an army made up of two people (he and his dog), where he commands and the dog just runs as a soldier, whatever the cost. The second type, the dog is like her child, the treats in any way, you all just can not get over it that the dog is not a child, think in another way, you relate to him in another way. Phrases like "but if I growl, then do not love me" is daily bread for people like me, takes care of dogs in his profession. The problem is that no matter how hard I try to explain how a dog thinks, how does it relate to the owners, etc.. sometimes I feel as though I tried desperately to communicate with a Martian, by the way these owners look at me. I confess that I have much less trouble communicating with their dogs. Often after only one interview, the two types of owners leave, give them to take the road that can lead to a peaceful coexistence with their furry friend, too difficult to change their way of being, thinking, better to try to give the dog , and replace it with another, like a toy defect, fault.

And what about those who already have a dog, perhaps a hybrid, and adopt another, more beautiful, more in line with their expectations, more fashionable, and will do away with the first result, because no two dogs can keep them. I'm crying already the new dog, which will soon be replaced by another more glamorous. Or what it says, "with dogs are unfortunate, I had a puppy and died for this, the other one for that, the more for that other", it is true you are unlucky with dogs, but dogs part is that they do not have a shot in the ass to have you as the owner, or not? Okay, do not digress. To conclude my article, I should say now, well thought of adopting a dog, contact a professional immediately in order to set a correct relationship with the dog from day one, do not trust the various experts on duty, then, are all but experts. It is not difficult to set up a good relationship with Fido, just a few simple rules are adopted with a little common sense and consistency. But maybe some of us prefer to tyrannize over their dogs, after all, says an old saying popopo Sicilian "and cumannari megliu ca futtiri" excuse the vulgarity, but it makes it a good idea, while others prefer to treat the child as Fido never had, or that it is now grown, has become one of his family and went away. And 'human, after all, that sin will suffer consequences are the poor dogs.

The Rally Obedience in Sicily

I now speak of a new dog sport, a lot of fun and engaging for everyone, and that a way can be a little less boring and more rewarding to do a good basic education. It 'a sport, and as the word itself has something dell'obedience, which I have already spoken in a previous article, only that it is much less formal and therefore more suitable for any of the other. In fact, I think the rally obedience, may be a perfect link between basic education el'obedience itself, in short, a great way to start doing sport with your dog, before launching, possibly in the wider world dell'obedience.

The rally obedience is a sport open to all dogs, including mixed race, is recognized by the Olympic Committee, and provides for different classes, depending on difficulty and age of the dog.

We therefore, the junior class, with provincial and regional championships, open to all dogs aged between 6 and 12 months.

Following the beginners class, also for the provincial and regional championships, open to all dogs who are at least 12 months.

Then we have the Class 1, valid for all leagues, you can access the dogs that have achieved a qualification excellent or very good 3 qualifications in the previous class.

Class 2, also applies to all leagues, and you can access all the dogs that have achieved excellent qualifications 2 or 3 stages in the previous class.

In all these classes, the entire route is run with the dog on a leash.

Class 3, provided for the conduct without a leash, and is required for access have achieved excellent or 3 3 podiums in the previous class.

class champions finally, is reserved for the Italian Champions, which will compete for the championship title of the year.

addition to these classes, there are other 2, the open class and the elite class, which are established every two years in the Olympic Games of the Dog.

The path, bordered by a number of signs that indicate what operation is required, is specified by the court from time to time, and provides, inter alia, a maximum travel time calculated on the average of its competitors in the same class + 30 seconds.

End the path beyond this time, does incur the binomial dog - the conductor in disqualification.

The essential difference all'obedience, meanwhile, is the possibility to encourage the dog during the journey, it can look into the conduct, the obligation to strengthen it in every panel that includes a stop. This obedience, however, provides a conduct more formal, with the look of the conductor facing forward, without the ability to encourage dog, all things that cost penalty points that are inexorably paid in terms of score. Furthermore, since the dog and handler enter the ring of obedience, and until the end of the test, an average of twenty of minutes, the dog can never be reinforced if not a reinforcement of social, as good, said with some irony, that if between dog and handler was established a proper relationship leadersheep, serves very well to .

obedienceì The Rally, has few followers today in Sicily, although dog amateur sports associations such as Dog Obedience Society of Barcelona (including two representatives dog have participated in the recent Olympic games in Lignano Sabbiadoro, finishing 2 nd respectively and 6th in the final classification) and some dog lovers centers like the Center Cinofilo Villa Adriana in Agrigento, are committing actively to promote this very interesting also in our dog sport.

As always lead the way to Sicily in dog activities and sports utility other than defense is tough and steep, but with the commitment, perseverance and passion you can slowly bring forward a new sport cinofilia as witnessed an increasing number of owners who attend daily courses aglity, obedience, and in the near future, why not rally obedience.

the 4-step learning

In this article I will talk a bit 'of training and learning in particular.

E 'useful to think of learning as a sequence of four steps.

• Acquisition;
• Fluidity;
• Generalization;
• Maintenance;

It 'clear that the acquisition is the first stage of learning, where Fido acquires a new behavior. If we teach our dog to run the "sit", the dog must learn to move in a certain way, to ground his back to earn his reinforcement.

The second step, the flow, is the phase where Fido learns to be fluid with the new learned behavior. At this stage the dog acquires rhythm, and robotics. At this stage, we could for example, ask the dog to the answers faster and more precise to earn reinforcement.

The third step, is called generalization. The dogs are very good at discriminating, but consequently also less able to generalize. This brings us to the fact that if we teach our dogs in the same place, for example in the kitchen, they will be very good to perform the required responses in that environment, but will be fatally ill-prepared to do the same once you're out in a new environment.

E 'rather important, that Fido learns that what is in our kitchen, which even before the coffee shop, study veterinarian, in the presence of persons, other dogs, animals of different species. In short, the dog must learn to do the learned responses in different circumstances and situations. To achieve this, Fido should be gradually brought back from our kitchen (a quiet and distraction-free) canine expo, chaotic environment, rich in visual and olfactory stimuli. The generalization is an automatic stage of learning that has rarely need special attention.

The fourth step, the maintenance phase in which Fido is a learned behavior that incorporates in its behavioral repertoire. This means that returning to "sit," Fido has always run fast and accurate behavior.

As drivers, we need to ensure that the conduct is maintained at an optimum level. For some dogs, this may require some occasional training session for other many repetitions of the previous steps, to maintain, speed, precision and generalization .

I wanted to dwell a bit 'more about this, to bring home to dog owners, how difficult and complex to teach the dog to respond to a given signal, provided, however, and at the same speed and accuracy. How much work is behind simple behaviors like "sit" or "land" if we really want our 4-legged friend to run with them a degree of reliability and accuracy.

Teaching is never easy, you must have patience, do not get caught up in the frenzy driven by the enthusiasm to run if things are looking good, nor be discouraged and give up if things do not seem to go for the right way. Everyone is different, and this also applies to the dogs (even the same race) and not always what works for one will be fine for another.
