The Beagle is one of the very ancient dog breeds. It was once used as a hunting dog. It is not big and is one of the smallest hunting dogs. Although it is small, it is agile and can hunt down prey quickly.
Recently, Xiao Mengjun received help from a beagle owner. This beagle is named Pomegranate (pseudonym) and is 4 years old. It has behavioral problems of food protection and aggression. According to the owner, the specific problems are as follows:
1. Food protection - Don't let people get close to you when eating, it will attack.
2. Attack - usually free-range, do not go into the cage, if you go into the cage, your teeth will bleed; you cannot touch it when sleeping, sleep anywhere at home, and if you push it down on the sofa, you will bite it and leave after biting it; today, it was lying under the table while sleeping, and a child accidentally touched it, so the child bit him;
3. In the past, the old man took care of him and raised him very lovingly, but recently the old man died of illness and the parents took care of him.
4. Dragging the owner along with him.
The owner was once bitten very badly by it, and the two bloody holes were very huge, as shown in the picture below
Although the pomegranate looks very kind-hearted, as long as the above-mentioned situations are involved, it is very likely to attack and bite people, and it happens frequently.
This dog has too few rules and boundaries. It believes that the whole family is its territory and has the highest status. It does not have any respect for people, so it needs to limit its range of activities in a cage or + a fence.
Detailed analysis:
Dogs have habitual attacks. For a long time, it is a very serious problem.
Attacks include territorial defense, including physical protection. Contact, including attacks caused by food guarding
A dog does not have any rules and boundaries, everywhere is its territory, and all food it can touch is its food
The status of dogs and people is seriously wrong. Dogs are the boss, and they have no trust or respect for people. Therefore, "in the eyes of dogs, all wrong behaviors done by people should be taught by the boss dog"
Plan:
1. It is necessary to limit the activity area, reduce the territory, and reduce territorial awareness. Use cages or cages + fences. The restricted area also ensures the safety of children.
2. Learn to follow the dog correctly and establish the correct status relationship between humans and dogs.
3. Adjust all life details, including prohibited areas in the home and feeding of food. Food restrictions, contact methods, etc.
4, analysis and treatment of aggression problems, how to avoid triggering conflicts, etc.
5, correction of food-protecting behavior
Here is a suggestion to dog owners with similar situations: If you want to simply send the dog to a dog training base or behavior center to teach it well, and then send the dog home, the dog will be fine. This is impossible, so don't have this illusion.
But wouldn’t it be useful to send it to the behavioral center? No, sending it to a dog behavior center will definitely help. After all, dogs can be exercised in a group. But in the final analysis, it is the status issue between the owner and the dog, as well as the owner's usual indulgent behavior that makes this happen to the dog.
Only by learning how to set rules and boundaries at home, how to effectively control the dog, how to understand the dog's expressions, and how to improve the habits of getting along with the dog can the owner fundamentally solve the problem. At the training base, it can respect the dog trainer, but when it comes home, it still won't respect the family.
Therefore, it is necessary to send the dog to "school", but as a parent, you must also learn the corresponding knowledge. While the dog is attending school in the behavior center, the owner must also adjust his/her own corresponding behavior under the guidance of the dog trainer in order to make adjustments and corrections to the dog.
