Kates Playground Zip Files



Due to time constraints I was unable to post much lately, so i load to talk about an issue that has long been interested and I met for six. It is the strengthening of food link, a methodology aimed the establishment of a proper hierarchical relationship between us and our dog, and I met through an interesting article linked Amalio Lasheras to find the end of this post.

already commented earlier in the family dog \u200b\u200band human the importance of establishing a correct hierarchy between humans and dogs to avoid conflicts. In this article I link we have two possible ways in which our dog we can consider:
  • As a member of its species this implies that we can fight for the leadership of the herd may develop a disorder of dominance aggression .
  • As a member of another species ie sees us as humans and not like dogs. This avoids conflict by not being aggressive the hierarchical relationship between the two species.
Having so it seems obvious that the best thing is that our dog we consider how humans are, but the reverse is not so rare to find. Personally I think those dogs treated like children and do what they crave, or that his master is maintained as a leader through physical aggression, are strong candidates to consider its kind to their masters.

The methodology we propose is aimed at the dog to see their human masters and leaders of the pack occupying the post of Super-Alpha , a kind of matriarch of the pack leadership exercised without the animal has the need to fight him to take the lead. This is the point that I liked the article, since this type of relationship is not artificial or roles assigned to dogs or to humans: each one is who he is and everyone is aware of who is the other.

the dog to learn to regard their masters as Super-Alfas should extend the type of relationship between animals and their mothers during lactation. In this period the puppy is dependent and subordinate to her mother and naturally ends with weaning. Stronger links with food get that this period is completed and extends throughout the life of the dog, taking the masters the role of the mother.

To teach the dog's owners have to follow some guidelines when feeding to see them as food providers with which they must strive to obtain it. This includes, among other things, being able to remove and without an aggressive response from the dog. It started a month, when the puppy begins to take solid foods, and continue to the owner when the animal comes into your new home.

recommend reading the original article where this method appears much more extensive and detailed, since my intention here is simply to make a short summary. I must say that before I met him and we had already brought our dogs and so far there has been no hierarchical conflict, although they can not tell me how exactly we believe. Recommended Links
