Dog training

Positive & Negative Reinforcement Reinforcement

Giving praise (positive reinforcement) in dogs is a very important thing in dog training. Give a sincere compliment by not just doing. Give sincere compliments to the dog with the dog will be able to feel it so the dog would expect you to do it again, again, and again.

Reprimand (negative reinforcement) is considered as a punishment by the dog, and he would think to avoid that happening to him.

Praise or reprimand make the dog understand what you want or not.

Dogs trained depressed will concentrate to avoid punishment rather than achievement. This means you will not be able to provide training to the maximum towards the dog.

Tools that may indicate a compliment or a command.

You may not always praise the dog every time he did that you want such as saying "good dog ... .good dog .. !!!". How do you do that if he is away from you, whether you have to shout ?. You need tools to replace the praise that comes out of your mouth. Clicker, a tool that emit sound "click". With a clicker, you can give a compliment or a command to your dog.

Clicker also can replace a snack / treat. The dog will be happy if given a snack / treat as well as the sound of "click" of the clicker. If you instruct your dog to move with the clicker, so your dog clicker moving ring and give it a snack / treat. Do this 20-30 times until the dog understands that your clicker ring then a "click" is snack / treat. "Clicks" can also mean that the dog has completed his task.

Always ring the same clicker for a particular purpose. Example: 1 time "click" to praise, 2 times "click on" sequence to command the dog to sit, and so on like Morse code. If the dog makes a mistake, tell the dog "wrong" and do not ring the clicker.

Total orders in exercise and workout duration.

Do not really give a command in training. If the dog had never made a mistake then you can proceed to the next command. Dogs who are used can be trained to exercise more than 1 hour in one day.

Once the dog knows where the compliments and which strikes then you can give lessons. Dogs can distinguish these two things after 20-50 repetitions. Will sooner he understands if you do it firmly. To compliment maybe you can stroke with exasperation when they praised him, while for strike you can hit the roll of newsprint onto the floor. He will be able to distinguish it quickly.

When is the right time to give praise.

Do not give praise when your dog do things you do not command even if it is true. You have to teach the dog that compliments or giving snack / treat only could he get if he did things that you commanded. This can increase the dog to concentrate or pay attention to the commands you give.

Once your dog realizes that the only correct response receives praise or he would be reprimanded if he did something wrong then the training will be run in accordance with what you want.

New orders and orders for long.

Each new command that you give, it will be remembered by the dog than the previous command. Coaches should provide training balanced between new orders and the old command so that all orders can be understood perfectly by a dog.



Some things that should be added in the training:

Jackpots: Reward enormous than usual if the dog looks bored.

Conditioned Reinforced: praise or reprimand may be a signal (sign) as sound, light, movement of your body such as a hand or blink an eye or eye memelototkan.

Of Reinforcement schedules: By the time your dog is very good at the command you give, then you do not need to give a compliment every time he does it right. Give praise when really needed, suddenly, randomly or immeasurably. For example: if he had done the three commands correctly, praise him. This can make it always run the command correctly with the hope he gets the credit and make it able to run multiple commands at once.

Unexpected Facts About Origins of Dogs

Scientists have managed to uncover the origin of the dog. Unexpectedly, the origin of the dog is different from that envisioned all along.

To uncover the origins of one of the mammals closest to humans, scientists from Oxford University studied the genetic data and compare it with the existing archaeological evidence.

They investigated a series of genes from the 4800 year old ancient dogs were found in the Tomb of Newgrange in Ireland.

Scientists also examined the mitochondrial DNA (DNA material in the cell organ that serves to generate power) of 59 other ancient dogs that lived between 3,000 and 14,000 years ago, and compared them with 2,500 cells genetically modern dogs.

The results show clearly that there is a genetic difference between modern dog populations that currently live in East Asia and Europe.

That suggests, a good friend of this man is the result of the evolution of two distinct wolf populations living in two different places, and experience taming more than once.

Quoted by the Daily Mail last week, Greger Larson, a researcher from the University of Oxford, said that the domestication of animals is rarely discussed and it took a lot of data to prove it.

Taming itself not only in dogs. Keith Dobney of the University of Liverpool found that wild boar are also domesticated twice, in China and Anatolia, Turkey.

Previously, there are several theories that develop related taming dogs. One theory suggests, initially humans actively taming, then breed wolves.

As according to another theory, the wolf itself be benign because it follows the human and eating human leftovers, or loiter near human settlements, transformed into a dog and become friends with humans until now.

How To Greet Dog Properly

The problem here is people do not know how to greet your dog. All will not be problematic if people heed two rules - never touch a dog without the owner's permission, and let the dog make first contact. Do not come too quickly toward the dog, the dog huddled too close, or frighten the dog. Under this pressure, some dogs will live in total or shrink in body, pretending it was all a nightmare. Others will take action-usually barking or growling. The message is quite clear: when a stranger approached, barks and growls that would take people out of them. Soon, your dog is sweet and a little insecure has turned into a dog that likes to bark.

Many people can not understand why the dog was afraid of them when they clearly showed that they were about to greet him. Try reverse its position and is now definitely more obvious reason. For example, you are afraid of spiders and your friends to come and show his pet spider in your face. If he kept telling you, "Tarantula is good really. You see a friendly expression?" or "Tarantula can not hurt anybody; he babies are cute and innocent," will you suddenly feel safe?

Not really, in fact the only way you can approach the spider is if you begin to open yourself and kept her as his own accord. That means you should be on the table or in the few places where you can keep your distance from the spider. Then, when you are ready mentally, you gradually approached for a closer look and even touch. The same applies to dogs. Not all dogs have the friendly nature of everyone or accustomed to meeting with strangers, especially if they already are shy from the beginning you adopt them or even before they teradopsi, because they rarely do they meet with people. If you walk too close and disturb personal space dog or even stand up and reach out to touch it, she may feel threatened or are not sure of your intentions. However, if you stand alone or crouched on one knee while looking the other way (do not stare directly into the dog's eyes), then he will approach and sniff you. Once she was more relaxed, then you can calmly stroked him under the chin and neck or body. By offering food (treats) in dogs are shy and let him pick out of your hands - you do not stare at the dog's eyes of course - will accelerate the process of friendship and also teaches dogs to associate foreigners with good things.

Often, people succeed at first attempt to greet a dog but when they made a sudden movement, the dog was scared and threatened and he will try to bite or run away. It is also similar to the incident spiders. When you feel comfortable to watch and touch the tarantula, when suddenly he was moving his mouth or feet into the air, you'll probably jump out of fear. You would think that the movement is a terrible thing, for example, jump to the movement of your face and bite you. In fact, the tarantula itself, the movement may be a reflex movement or a movement to change the position or even a gesture that he is your friend. So the way to ensure that you do not scare the dog after the initial introduction is slowly accustom the dog to be around you in a number of different positions. Avoid pressed against the dog or stroke her head or pulling and embrace so that she felt confined. Better to move slowly so that he is no chance to retreat. Most importantly, keep an eye on the signs given through body language. Do dogs tense and scared, her eyes move on or continue to look the other way while he silent? Or whether it evaporates, removing and fast tongue, or panting with lips drawn back? It is a sign that the dog feels anxious. At times like this, make sure that you give the dog his personal space.
If the dog's pupils dilated or constricted and he suddenly stiff and really did not move or give you a glare, he might bite in a short time. But, if you still have time, you can calmly avoiding the gaze of the dog, look the other way and get away from the dog.

Body language should you get when you want to say hello to a dog is a dog that is relaxed and not nervous, and his eyes looked steadily and gently. His tail should shake up or shut down.

Dr Iris Schoberl of the University of Vienna say, but in the end still people who have the most impact. This was seen when he and his team conducted experiments on more than 100 pet dogs and their owners.

The owners undergo psychological tests to determine his personality while the dogs also undergo similar tests with questionnaires. Samples were then taken by the saliva to determine levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body of each individual.

The result confirmed that the dog could be sensitive to the emotional state owner. When the owner of stress, as well as the dog.

Are our pets feel depressed? How do I know the grief our pets and what to do about it?

More than 2.3 million dogs are routinely left in solitude for five hours or more, the vet said he met and took the dog with other dogs we met on a regular basis is very important. Loneliness causes the dog performs destructive behavior because of anxiety. The veterinarians advise pet owners to maintain attention and care about things like that.

One of the four dogs were depressed because they're lonely, it was reported by a study.

A dog's hair turns white when dog worry

As with human hair, dog dander can also go gray if they are through hard times, according to a recent study published in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science.

"Dogs are considered owners often experience anxiety or impulsivity tend to have a muzzle with the hair graying earlier than other dogs," said study lead author, Camille King.

In a study involving 400 dogs and their owners, the researchers made an exception. They did not examine the dog that did have feathers gray or silver, and dogs older than four years, in order to avoid misidentification of gray.

To measure the level of anxiety dogs, the researchers asked several questions about the behavior of the animal to its owner, such as: whether a dog is often destroy the goods when left alone, whether bristles often fall out when receiving treatment at the vet or in a new place, and whether the dog likes curl up when responding to the arrival of a new group of people.

Meanwhile, to measure impulsivity, researchers asked whether their pet dog owners often hit a person, although it can be appeased, and whether the dog they lose focus or become hyperactive after exercise.

Then, two independent assessors who have never met the dogs will assess each photo on a scale of 0 to 3, with 0 indicating no gray in the muzzle, and three showed a muzzle full of gray hair.
The researchers found that female dogs tend to have gray levels higher than male dogs. In addition, dogs that show a fear of loud noises, animals and strangers also tends to increase gray hair.

Preferably, graying fur has nothing to do with the size of the dog, neutered or not, and have a medical problem or not.

"Initially, I was somewhat skeptical of this hypothesis, but when we analyze the data, the results are quite striking," said lead author of both studies, Thomas Smith from Northern Illinois University.

With this discovery, the dog owners and veterinarians can get a warning if a dog gray at an early age, there is a possibility that the dog is having problems of anxiety, fear or impulsivity. Thus, early treatment measures can be carried out before already severe.

when the dog should be in the sun

Dogs shall receive sunlight for survival because with the sun vitamin D and calcium will be absorbed by the body . In addition , the sun can also dry out the skin covered by hair . Especially in dogs that have thick fur , fur under the skin area will certainly easy to damp , if damp it will nest fungi or bacteria that can cause a dog suffering from skin diseases .
When is The Right Time To Expose & How Long ?
The best time according to the theory of medicine is 6-8 hours in the morning . Maybe some say 7 am to 9 am . If you are a dog owner has the time to hang the dog in the morning , it was better . But what if there is no time or area of ​​your house does not get sunlight in the morning ?
There are two ways of drying the dog , that is by " Forced " and how " Suka-Suka " .
How to " Force " is forcing the dog to be exposed to sunlight at the desired hour by dog owners . Usually the owner of the dog using a dog cage or tie up the area that is exposed to sunlight . Typically , the owner did not participate but would prefer sunbathing area cool while careless . Please attention if you use this method , always consider the condition of your dog's fur , especially on dark colored dogs like black or dark brown . Do not use a benchmark of time , say 30 minutes or 1 hour but see the condition of your dog . If your dog has been struggling , you should immediately move your dog to a shaded area and do not forget to give drink . Typically , dogs are dried by means of " Forced " will be faster heat . Probably about 5 minutes , they would have overheated and struggling . I do not like this way , because the more impressed torturing dogs . Why do I say torture ? Further we discuss how " Suka-Suka " .
How to " Suka - Suka " is a way of drying the dog in accordance with the wishes and needs of the dog . How to free him in the open area where there is an area that is exposed to sunlight and shaded areas . Dogs will menjemurkan himself whenever he felt the need . As the animals still have a natural instinct or wild instincts , they can know when the time is right for sunbathing or when sunlight is the best time for sunbathing . You will be amazed to see them sunbathing , they will not be struggling ! ! ! . They will look like a tourist who was sunbathing on the beach of Kuta . Sometimes they could do this for hours and hours without struggling . Are they going to bask appropriate medical theory that 7-9 hours of the morning ? not necessarily , sometimes they sunbathe at 11 , 12 or 2 pm .
Dicara " Love - Love " is, sometimes they choose the location of the surface of the sand . While sunbathing , they rub - rub his body with sand . Why do they do this ? mineral -bearing sands , and warm sand turned out very well to eradicate the bacteria or fungi as bacteria and fungi can not live at a temperature that is hot . Like the photo above , I initially thought this dog was a victim of hit and run , but it turns out the dog is cool to sunbathe :)
I once loaned a dog that is always sore skin for a year . I put the dog in the backyard . I note , every 2 hours he always menjemurkan himself . After 2 months , the dog's skin heal itself without the need to peel drugged . Apparently, they are not dumb animals . They know how to heal themselves when sick . However, because many of us who keep dogs in the stable, so they do not have the opportunity to perform natural healing .
Ok , you do not have a large open area to release your dog and you also are not a lot of time . At least , you could ask your dog playing in the park at noon on the day of your holiday . On the beach would be better because it contains a lot of beach sand minerals . Do it at least once a month , your dog will undoubtedly be healthier .

What distinguishes a Pit Bull barking with a Mini Pinscher or Pomeranian or Basenji or Labrador Retriever or German Shepherd or Rottweiler or any other breeds ? What gonggongannya when translated into words is meant " kill ... kill ... kill ... ! " : I'm very confident that's not . Whenever a pit bull can speak in human language it might be singing the " Pit Bull also 'human' ... " ; allow me to borrow a term of words and meaning of a song ( group seurius band ) to show that the pit bull was also got the feeling and longing loved like other breeds on earth. Do people understand that public gonggongannya flipped his iron bars or chains enclosure is a call that we approached with our fingers gently caress lovingly head plus gross and scope of the muscular chest , his longing is when we say "good dog sweet dog ... nice dog ...
