We
all grew up with the same idea of how your working dogs: they use
physical force to fight to be alpha to present the dogs competing in the
pack. This concept is so engraved in our psyche and English being the top dog means you are the "dominant" in turn. Even people who have no interest in anything related dog probably
heard about the importance of being dominant, the leader of the pack,
the alpha.
Even now, when he was so completely refuted, so most trainers look down their noses at anyone who dares utter the word "field" or - worse! - "Alpha Role", the idea that dogs are trying to take the sole owner of the world at the thought of a time now, unfortunately widespread among dog lovers.
Any pull on the leash and jump, eat something you dropped on the floor and chase the cat, he was responsible for finding a dog for supremacy or lack of leadership on the part of the owner.
This truly amazing what we call the best dogs friend of the whole man, what with the constant effort of this so-called friend we spread. You feed him, bathe him, care of him, and in some cases even the dress, to take him to the vet when they are sick and give it a comfortable place to sleep when he is tired, and how can pay you? By staging a coup! The nerve! But how this mistaken notion of rank just be?
We all know that wolves dominate the other, have a strict hierarchy in which subordinates refused before the resources and individuals are constantly struggling for dominance, right? Well, no, that's not exactly how it works. It turns out that our previous notions lupine social behavior were based on wolves in captivity. People from different packages have been forced to live next to each other, a very natural for them, leading to a very abnormal behavior. The resources of the massacre were the result of stress, as in nature, there are no rivals packets because space is not a problem.
In nature, a wolf pack consists of a monogamous couple and two or three generations of descendants, leaving the pack after reaching sexual maturity (about two years). stray dogs, especially in a more urban setting, they prefer a solitary life. They are opportunistic scavengers eat pieces of food here and there, they should not hunt in groups because they do not hunt large prey.
In wolves, all group members are involved in one way or the rearing and get food, while dogs are not monogamous, and only the mother is responsible for the education of his small. In some areas (usually rural) where the dogs were found wandering loose groups ( "Member" is only temporary), a pregnant woman will separate from the rest of the group to give birth and care for her young. So you can see the obvious flaw in wolf behavior of the application in the study of dogs. Dogs and wolves are distant relatives (although the same species) and ethology therefore not interchangeable. Not that these groups lack any semblance of structure, it is that the hierarchy is important in some situations, as for humans.
As the "common knowledge" for decades that wolves are constantly fighting for domination, it is easy to understand how dog owners can confuse a simple lack of means to try to move forward, but the truth is your dog is more dominant when he rushes to the door as the person who just zip with you to ensure that the last little spot in the elevator, you were about to enter. There is more of an alpha when he rushes to the food you left the woman to take that sweater you just put it down for a moment. These people are not looking to assert their dominance, they are just plain rude: they put their advance needs in the needs of others. Dogs, like people, who are not taught to behave properly, you can not be expected to know how to do it.
This means that your dog can not be taught boundaries or rules? Of course not. But adhering to the domain theory is not how. It is very imperfect, and used to justify the use of stress in dog training. A dog does not complete an application for three main reasons: fear, not knowing what to do or or just more motivated to do something different ... Not because it is dominant! Just like humans, dogs do better with a caring role model and leader, rather than a tyrant.
Before continuing, I must emphasize the large number of outraged trainers who are itching to emphasize that, all together now: "Dogs are not furry humans" Very true, but as far as the brain is concerned (particularly part relegated to hedonistic behavior and the satisfaction of needs), we are very similar, despite the obvious difference in animal appearance are hedonistic in nature. think first of ourselves is an essential survival tactic that stuck with us and probably never leave. I must stress that this does not mean that altruism does not exist in some species (one of which is the dog), but deviates from the topic of this article.
The dog sits before letting out or expect something to offer its shows no kind of subordination, it's just a dog "polite." Of course, he has no real concept of social etiquette, but learned that certain behaviors (sit, stay, ceasing to whine or bark ...) are the only way to get what you want (is, affection, freedom ...).
It is a common misconception that dogs are trying to "take control of the operation" pulling the leash, as only the head before walking. The dogs, even those who are best friends, do not walk side by side. Dogs are not stupid, but also wolves, the state has not determined by where a person walks, animal spirits have their own business. It is no different when you are on a walk with you: a dog that pulls just trying to mind his own business as she can while connected to a slow bipeds! To request a dog spend the duration of a walk strolling slowly desperately beside you is a lot to ask; that does not mean it's impossible, but it takes a lot of restraint not to chase the car, jogger or bird that caught his attention, or investigate pee, keel or the carcass of a foot on his nose !
A big problem arises when one considers that, as human beings, we have this expectation that our dogs are able to understand our spoken language. Most dogs go their whole lives not knowing what the word "no" means, even if the feeling several times during the day. First, the dogs pick up on the tone of individual words, which is why I call my dog 'Jungle Breath "and just run for me. Second, telling a dog not to do something is usually unproductive because in all likelihood, he did many things at once, and you said that "it will not." Not that, exactly ? It much more productive to tell him what to do, does not leave room for interpretation. this common source of miscommunication is what causes so many dog owners think their dog is dominant or just stupid. in addition to "no", "quiet" is the number one word people seem to expect their dogs know. the funny thing is that really screams get most dogs to bark more! Random strong "Silence!" actually the dog jumps into silence, the owner of the response is not usually communicate the noise termination was what they asked (with the use of a price), but to return to what they were doing nothing which tells the dog in fact, in some cases, will even unintentionally reward the dog barking. barks and give it the attention it is quiet and you do not.
A discussion of canine dominance fair would not be complete without a shout-out to the alpha role: the ridiculous practice of ground pin your dog to establish you as his superior. Submissive dogs show their belly all the time, like wolves. If they do in nature, because we can not operate and emulate? First, it is not a gesture of submission, it is a gesture of appeasement. A dog exposing her abdomen fully expressed inoffensiveness, was seen in a tight situation, and try to make very clear that he does nothing wrong. Second, they never see a dog returns another dog on its back (unless inappropriate game). This gesture is offered, not forced. Forcing a dog to the ground will do nothing for your relationship, the better it will scare him, at worst, can leave you with some of your missing face. The role of alpha has been perpetuated by the monks of New Skete and immensely popular by Cesar Millan, who said all regret both the use and disclosure of this practice.
Another time, you can see a dog go "belly" play. Also during the game, the dog on the ground that initiates the behavior, body language will be hired, but without tension (do not shake or tails between their legs) and is free to get up when he wants.
Do you know why dogs do what they do may seem trivial, but it can greatly affect the outcome of your training. A dog that destroyed the house because he has no separation anxiety will probably not be for the exclusive benefit of having something more interesting to do, while a dog that often destroys the will of the 'boredom. Similarly, punishing a dog for being a dog will only frustration and poor results. Trainers who demonize the dogs by making false accusations on hierarchy and domination are less human to justify the technical training but - thankfully! - It does not look like many dog owners choose to have their canine friends.
The most common criticism I hear regarding the use of non-confrontational training methods is that it will cause the dog to become employees refuse to do what you ask, without the certainty of reward . Trainers who use coercion claim that a dog must want to obey because the owner said, not because he is. It is very human to want an individual (dog, human or otherwise) in order to respect the respect and love, rather than predict a win, so I can not say I entirely blame for this state of mind, but no I did not understand how was the supporters of coercive methods could possibly follow double standards in their words: how to do something for all different goodies to do something just to avoid punishment? Personally, I would exclude my selfish notion of enough training because it will only lead to frustration and resentment when you hit a block of training spot. Remember, dogs need to learn manners, not blind submission.
A dog is taught the concept of punishment is likely to meet when there is the threat of that pain. I am not saying that this method is completely ineffective (although, for all kinds of dog, I mean), but in the long run much more effective to teach a dog if it complies, the best thing the world has him and an experienced coach will know exactly what it is for the dog in question.
With the competence, consistency and quiet, you will never go wrong!Good luck and happy training!
