The Four “Fs” of Fear. Spooked? It's autumn—the season of shorter nights, crackling leaves, the hunter's moon, and, of course, Halloween. Costumed creatures come to your door and scary monsters parade across your television screen. Maybe your pulse will quicken as you get reacquainted with Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Boris Karloff, and maybe your hands will get sweaty. And maybe you'll see behavior in action. Yes, a room full of people watching a horror film can be a great example of an important behavioral concept.
Let's talk about the Four Fs, specifically about the third F. The four Fs Ted Turner (the behavior expert, not the film mogul) created a series of videos that I stumbled upon early in my clicker training education. Fight flight fool around …fornicate (my own paraphrase) When considering stress behaviors, we often think of the first two, but not of the latter two (although #4 seems fairly de rigueur in bad romance novels and many film genres). We'll leave #4 for another time. Fooling around. Pourquoi à 12 mois un chien devrait être capable de tout sauf : des parcours d’agility , du frisbee et co … - Réglisse, Excel & Glen. Par Regexcel dans Santé-Bien être le 28 Septembre 2013 à 13:59 Pourquoi à 12 mois un chien devrait être capable de tout sauf : des parcours d’agility , du frisbee et co … Comme on ne demanderait pas à un papi de 90 ans de faire de la corde à sauter , on ne va pas demander à un enfant qui sait tout juste marcher de nous accompagner à pied lors d’une randonnée … Cela vous semble couler de source ?
Et pourtant … On estime qu’un chien type westie (environ 8-9 kg âge adulte) termine sa croissance à 10-12 mois. Qu’un border collie la termine à 14-16 mois et qu’un Bouvier Bernois la termine à 20-22 mois. Ces chiffres pouvant être variables dépendant des individus. Rien de choquant dans ses chiffres lorsque l’on sait que l’âge pour commencer les concours est de 18 mois pour l’agility par exemple ? On est bien d’accord mon but ici n’est pas de descendre les gens qui sortent tôt en compétition, mais simplement de prévenir en expliquant aux futurs compétiteurs qu’il y a des risques. 8 semaines à 6 mois.
Comment un bon chien en arrive à mordre …... Une catastrophe annoncée! Mercredi 9 octobre 2013 3 09 /10 /Oct /2013 07:35 Comment un bon chien en arrive à mordre …... Triste histoire, malheureusement classique... Une catastrophe annoncée! C'est l'histoire d'un jeune chien Border Collie, BOB, que nous suivons presque depuis l'ouverture de notre cabinet. Nous l'avons soigné lorsqu'il était jeune (6 mois?) Pour un gros bobo: rien de grave, mais une pansement d'immobilisation pendant 2 semaines au moins, à refaire régulièrement et à ne pas mouiller!!!!
Pendant ses nombreux soins et pansement, BOB étaient insupportable: il passait son temps à nous sauter dessus pour nous faire des bisous!! J'ai revu BOB cette semaine. Je fais patienter un peu BOB et son maître afin de revoir mes état émotionnels à la baisse...j'en profite pour relire son dossier médical. Allez HOP, tout le monde en consultation, BOB a déjà retourné la salle d'attente et son maître lui hurle dessus depuis 5 minutes ("assis""couché""bob""non""arrête""assis""assis""bob"..........).

Help for OCD Dogs. Why you should (and how you can) cure your dog's obsessive-compulsive disorder. By Pat Miller You’ve probably heard about people who wash their hands repeatedly until the skin wears off, who pull out their hair until they’re bald, or return home, time after time after time, to make sure the stove is turned off. These are obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs).
Sad to say, OCD behaviors aren’t confined to humans; dogs get them, too. Oh, you won’t see your dog worrying about whether the stove was left on, nor will you catch him washing his paws repeatedly in the sink. What is OCD? “OCD is a psychiatric disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions, such as cleaning, checking, counting, or hoarding. The last thing you want is for your dog to develop an OCD. An “obsessive” debateThere is some disagreement among animal behavior professionals about applying the term “obsessive” to canine behavior.

Dog Leash Training: Teaching Your Dog to Walk on a Leash. Why do I need to register or sign in for WebMD to save? We will provide you with a dropdown of all your saved articles when you are registered and signed in. Dogs have to be taught to walk nicely on leash.
They’re not born knowing that they shouldn’t pull ahead or lag behind. Teaching leash manners can be challenging because dogs move faster than us and are excited about exploring outdoors. Leashes constrain their natural behaviors and movements. Some dogs are determined to run around as fast as they possibly can. Other dogs want to stop, sniff and urinate on anything and everything in their paths. How to Teach Your Dog to Walk Nicely on a Leash You’ve probably seen dogs at shows or on TV who prance alongside their handlers, staring up with rapt attention. You can use various methods to teach dogs to walk without pulling on leash. Until your dog learns to walk without pulling, consider all walks training sessions.
Continue reading below... Qualities of a good dog trainer | Capers for Canines (and Other Animals) A recent reader’s comment saying that anyone can be a dog trainer is absolutely correct. There are no governing bodies to control it. I visited my local pet store and saw business cards for almost a dozen trainers hanging on the bulletin board. It’s become a very popular profession. But are they good trainers? I’ve heard people say that they want to be a trainer because they were able to teach their dog how to sit. I started my career working with animals as a pet massage therapist and I am glad that I did because through that training and experience, I learned how to read dogs’ body language and communications signals. The next attribute of a good trainer is obviously being able to work effectively with the dogs using humane and scientifically sound techniques. Most trainers teach classes and provide one-on-one consultations with clients. And finally, probably the least important skill is writing ability although I do believe it’s still necessary.
Dog Training Careers. Are you thinking of becoming a Dog Trainer and not sure where to start? One thing to sort out in your mind is whether you want to train dogs (dog trainer) or teach people how to train their dogs (Dog Training Instructor). If you want to do the former then you may want to talk to the big charities like Guide Dogs for the Blind, Hearing Dogs etc who train dogs as Assistance Dogs. Or you may want to offer residential training yourself - where you take dogs into your home/kennel and train them to do various behaviours. Once they understand what is required the cues are transferred over to the owner. But what most people refer to as a Dog Trainer – person who runs classes for owners - is actually teaching the owners, not the dogs. One of the first things you need to decide is 'Do you like to work with people?
'. If you don't, then please do not think about becoming an instructor. The majority of DTI's are self-employed. Good things about being a self-employed dog training instructor include: Certified Dog Trainer Qualities. Dr. P's Dog Training: Qualities Of A Trainer. In most instances when talking is about dog training, it hinges on techniques and methods - the basics that are used to develop in the dog the habits and natural abilities that will enable it to do a good job.
Dog psychology is touched upon but rarely trainer psychology - what makes the trainer 'tick'. I have met a number of good trainers, who all have their particular style even to the extent of allowing their dogs to do things that to the layman would appear totally taboo. But at the end of the day they come out with not only a good dog but a top dog. Perhaps we could learn more from studying the top trainers to develop in ourselves the necessary skills and qualities to succeed in training a dog.
A good trainer has a compound of qualities which are strongly inter-related, experience, knowledge, patience, natural affinity with dogs, enthusiasm, exuberance, readability, - the list could go on. A good trainer should be able to judge why a dog is going wrong. Dog Behavior Blog: What Makes A Good Dog Trainer? Over the years, I have watched a lot of dog training classes and I have found that there are certain qualities that all good dog trainers have. One thing that good dog trainers always remember is that the people in their classes genuinely want to have a good relationship with their dogs.
The people are there voluntarily. No one forced them to come. So that enthusiasm for a good relationship has to be nurtured and encouraged. Dog training is a people-oriented activity. As the old joke goes, dog training teaches the people more than it teaches the dogs. Good trainers know that different people learn in different ways. In my opinion, the best way to teach dog training is to make it fun for everyone. For those of us who have been training dogs for a long time, it is very easy to forget that a lot of people don’t know how dogs learn. A frustration of teaching dog training classes is that many people do not do their “homework,” or work with their dog outside of class.
--Con Slobodchikoff. Conditionnement classique et opérant. Pourquoi est-ce que les humains (et les chiens) réagissent aux stimuli avec certains comportements ? Les comportement peuvent ils changer selon les conséquences ? Peggy Andover explique comment le cerveau peut associer des stimuli différents et ses réponses, appuyé par la fameuse expérience d’Ivan Pavlov de 1890, et comment le renforcement et la punition peuvent entraîner des changements de comportement. Quand on pense à l’apprentissage, on s’imagine souvent des élèves dans une classe ou un amphithéâtre, livres ouverts sur leur bureau, qui écoutent attentivement un professeur à l’avant de la salle.
Mais en psychologie, l’apprentissage à un autre sens. Pour les psychologues, l’apprentissage est un changement de comportement à long terme basé sur l’expérience. Il y a deux formes principale d’apprentissage : le conditionnement classique et le conditionnement opérant, ou instrumental. Parlons tout d’abord du conditionnement classique.

Some trainers have apprenticed for some period of time with an experienced trainer before branching out on their own. Some have special schooling, such as higher degrees from colleges and universities in animal behavior, or schooling at online vocational programs that may be combined with a hands-on mentoring component.
Others came into the profession through working in animal shelters or competing in dog sports and competition.

A Closer Look at All Dogs Are Individuals [INFOGRAPHIC] | Animal Farm Foundation. All dogs are individuals means: We owe it to all dogs to see them for who they really are, free of prejudice, stereotypes, and assumptions that are based on a known pedigree, a breed label guess, physical appearance, or their past history. Just a small handful of genes will determine how a dog looks on the outside. It’s not even 1% of their genome. And yet, we frequently make enormous, life changing assumptions about dogs based on that 0.25%! This set of genes, the ones that determine a dog’s breed associated physical traits, are different that the genetic program that builds the brain.
The genetic program responsible for creating the brain is much different and tremendously more complex than the genetic programs that underlie physical traits in dogs. The overwhelming majority of dogs in shelters are mixed breed dogs. Peer reviewed research shows us that visual identification of mixed breed dogs is highly inaccurate. Not even when the mixed breed dog has pure breed parents! Kristopher J. Understanding inherited causes of canine bloat. Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), or bloat, is one of the leading causes of death in dogs, second only to cancer for some breeds, and the number one killer of Great Danes. Despite its prevalence, the cause of bloat is unknown. A multi-disciplinary team at Michigan State University is investigating the hormones motilin and ghrelin for the cause of the disease -- and better treatments. Laura Nelson, assistant professor in the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences (SCS) and principal investigator in the project, has been awarded a 2-year grant to fund research on the causes of Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) in dogs.
The grant was awarded by the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation (CHF) on October 4, 2013. When a dog gets bloat, gas fills the dog's stomach, the stomach twists completely around, the gas has no way to escape, and blood and air supply to the stomach are cut off. "Not every dog is going to get it," says Nelson. Pet Tutor(TM): Smart solutions for barking issues. 101 Things to Do Beyond the Box-Dog Behavior Games.
