THE DOG IN ME - Danilo Mainardi year among the books found under the Christmas tree is also the book by ethologist Parma. And today I got plunged in with enthusiasm, especially as the narrator and his conversational style makes you devour the pages, and the similarities are many, here is someone who can put it down word for word what you have understood, heard and maybe even done without being too conscious. Please buy one, read it and, if you share, give it.
is not a guide / treatise on how to "educate" the dog, but a sincere book that helps humans to establish a good rapport with animals , to understand them and understand what a report
can be full of pleasant surprises if lasciatisi behind social prejudice and stupidity, it really opens up another (our furry in this case). Just to
citarvi something about the puppy just came eccogli
say "this is the moment when the human family, to the suit, should perceive their difficulties and help communicate what can be done and what you can do .... Also because the puppy will behave more intelligently than the more peaceful and playful. For him, as for all the fear and stress did not help. sweetness and patience, therefore, and you will be amply returned! " I still see too many hands in the air, too many large items when you have to do with puppies and adult dogs, as for boys, if I have to threaten to obey me, if I simply can not explain that done something wrong, you just mention that I have it all wrong!
I've always had a certain reticence on the "clicker traning
", or simply for those who always turn with the treat the dog with him to make something delicious . It will be nice method but I am suspicious (but it is my personal opinion and opinabilissima) I seem to "depersonalize" the dog using his "greed." Of course I use much of the bite to time especially if I have to explain to Frodo something new, but cuddles, hugs and compliments are worth the same. And then Frodo is always free to use its typical "passive
disobedience", a sort of Gandhism dog, so do your exercise with exaggerated slowness, yawning brazenly in the face to remind me that he can also do something to please but definitely not my puppet! Faced with this kind of exercise of the right not to do I just have to succumb and move on!
Danilo Mainardi concludes a chapter on dogs trained too, just to satisfy some urge to control the masters
"because I do not like to have a "dog soldier ", that is one of those so well trained to do only what was taught, but by far my favorite those that know how to express , obviously within certain limits (this means to me, human and non-human, good manners), the and their preferences, their intelligence, their personality , then here is the fact that they choose, from time to time, where sleep becomes a positive sign. It tells me about their peace and their welfare. On fact, ultimately, they are really part of our family ."... Yes, you read this book and help to understand what it means to really have a dog friend.
