Psychological training for dog owners
If you have a dog ... then you certainly had to deal with the problem of her upbringing. You read books about dog training, consulted with other dog owners, MB engaged in a trainer. Most likely, it will improve your relationship with your dog. But it may be that some issues remained unresolved, something did not work as desired. As a result, relations with animals do not bring full satisfaction.
Why is it happening?
The fact is that in the books and training club dog training techniques you teach. Their study, of course, useful, but they can not quite fit specifically for you and your dog. Much better to learn not only techniques of training, and the principles on which they are built. Then you will have the opportunity to devise those methods which are more suitable for you. Moreover, it is quite easy.Quite a bit of attention and ... knowledge of how and what to do. That is what we learn in training.
In addition, it is very important your correct working contact with the animals. Even the most thorough knowledge of the principles of dog training will do nothing, if your relationship with your dog is not harmonious. How to build its interaction with the animal, whom it might be for you and how to achieve it - the answers to these questions, you also get to training.
The first block of training includes a six-hour sessions, both theoretical - no dogs, and practical - on the court with the animals. In the first block of study:
- Positive reinforcement. What is it and how it differs from the awards. How to achieve the desired behavior without coercion.
- How to use reinforcement. Time of reinforcements, conditioned reinforcement, variability of reinforcements.
- Negative reinforcement, it differs from punishment. When negative reinforcement is powerless.
- A dog, as a functional member of the family system. Who are his dog, and who is it for you.
All knowledge and skills acquired in training are applied, practical significance, it is all that you can use to interact with your pet.

Being engaged in training; domestic dog, that is, in fact, teaching people to treat them properly (in this work and is an instructor in training - in education, first of all people, not dogs), I once asked a question that in result very much changed my whole life, and even led to a change of profession. I wanted to understand - why, for what people generally give birth to dogs, and generally, any other pets?
This question may seem strange to you, after all "and so everything is clear. Take your time, all is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. If, before the beginning of XX century. dog was an assistant man, served under him various useful work, in our time it is almost completely lost its practical significance. At least in developed countries. But it is in developed countries today dogs per capita has more than anything. The same situation with cats. And really all hamsters, fishes, turtles never any practical value in man and did not have.
But this is about all I think you know yourself. It is unlikely that many of you are working with dogs. Even if your dog may well work, few who have such a need. At most - MB you do with dogs for sports, but sports - this is also rather fun for the soul, than work. I think that will not be mistaken if we assume that the dog for you - friend, family member, close creature. It is likely that "and so clear. And indeed, all would be very simple and understandable, if not one "but" - the role attributed to the dog, ie, the role of a loved one, can and must in some sense taken literally.
This means that adjusting the attitude of the owner with a pet, keep in mind that for him the animal - even a small degree (and sometimes very large) - also "man". I think if you were doing with the trainer, you probably have heard from him the following words: "Do not humanize the dog." Regarding the humanization of mistakes during dressing Much has been written literature.There is even a special term "anthropomorphism", ie attribution of animal human characteristics.Here are just that, not humanize the dog, most likely, if not impossible, the authors of these articles and books, it seems, just never thought about. Moreover, I can say that many good professional trainers, with whom I worked, humanizes the dogs and build their interaction with them, partly as a people.
Of course, all this is true to a certain extent. The dog still differs from person strong enough and with it there are many others, not human rights. But the important thing here to understand the following: prohibit humanize dogs impossible. Humanization - some of the natural process of building the relationship between man and animal. Therefore, during dressing should just keep in mind that anthropomorphism is bound to happen, and to build dressing process is partly based on this.
Moreover, the need to fully understand that some problems with the dog means dog training to be solved simply can not, just as they can not be solved by means of training of the problems that arise with close friends. Examples of this are numerous. Very often, the instructor stopped by in their work that a person "wrong attitude to the animal." And usually, the instructors are powerless. I myself, being engaged with the owners, are often faced with the fact that my instructions simply not implemented, and, for reasons unclear to me, and himself the owner of the dog. And why this is happening, I began to understand when seriously engaged in the psychology of relationships.
Speaking simplistically, relationships with one another are based on certain "scenarios". As soon as the dog is perceived by the owner, in part, as "man", with it being built on the same "scenario". Change "script" behavioral level - ie level on which the Training - difficult, almost impossible. Try, for example, that simply forbid myself irritated at someone in the family, when he does something that you do not like. I think it will only lead to increased irritation. To solve this problem are needed at all other means - for example, try to negotiate, understand each other. This deal has not trainers, and psychologists.
I have deliberately simplified the situation. Many problems in human relationships require a much more serious and profound intervention, sometimes - personality changes. The point here is not in the specific techniques and procedures, it is best left to professionals. I want to point out is what the: people to sort out their relationship with the dog understands what he needs the dog may well understand what he really wants to achieve from it and not follow blindly the instructions of an instructor who comes from very general considerations - so accepted (and in fact made in the service dog training, ie when the dog is still seen as a tool and not a full partner in the communication). Of course, the dog, as I said - not a man, and certain mandatory requirements for it do exist. But even these tasks better deal, knowing well that we want to get to the exit. And it is quite impossible without an answer to this seemingly simple question: What do I need a dog? Why have I not getting from people that can give me it?
In general, the attempt of this approach to human relationships with animals is not new. For example, among veterinarians and animal trainers in the West is widely believed that the dog is for the owner of the role of the child. The study showed that spent (and continues to be), I is not always, and in general, not primarily so. The dog can take any place that can take one person to another.
For a successful dog training is important to understand, and well separated those moments in which "the dog - it's just a dog", and which can and should be resolved through taming, of those moments in which a dog - a little "man", and which require very other intervention. Such an approach would not only make the dog obedient, but also relations with them will bring more joy and pleasure.
