We duz ope we al az luvli day - but pleez do no be too diswespekful eech uva - diz beyayvya wil no be tolwaytid .. 

Ere duz be speshul pal in Casel Meed Park..

Ere iz a pic to wemind yoo wot Brisol, Gwomits nd BTs look lyke ... nd wot ugli bunch dem umanz iz! *snigga*

Dat is al fur now!  Toodel pips!

Undastandin "Gwumpi" Dogz - Ow yoo can elp!

Ellos!

Today we did fink we wud blog bowt "gwumpi" dogs - dogs dat dus no lyke uva dogs. (Aldo mos da time wot umanz wefers to az gwumpi dogs iz akshuli scare or ankshus dogs.)

Scare Jack!

TBH we az bin finkin bowt diz blog fur a wile, but az eld off cos iz a contwavershul subjek nd sum weederz mite no gwee wiv wot we sez ... but evwifin we sez in diz blog can be bak up by syenz so we aks dat yooz jus weed wiv open mind  *nervuz giggle*

OK! So da mos pawten fing memba iz dat al mamals - nd dat duz inclood yoo umanz - iz diktatid to by owr moshunz.  So we al duz wot we duz cos of a moshunz we iz feelin!  Umanz iz luki in sum wayz cos dey az big bwayne cortex nd can use lojik to ovawide deez moshunz wen nesesswy (mos da time). (We finx iz bit libiliti too do - dey tendz ova fink stuf nd majin al sawts stuf!)  Uz dogz duz no av dat luxwee or indwanz!

Da nex pawten fing memba iz dat uz furs duz not plot nd plan (memba we dussnt av da cortex fur dat), we juz feel waw moshunz nd akt on dem!  Wun da mos potent moshunz eni sentent bein can feel iz feer.

Feer mayke uz twy voyd danja to da lyfe witch do elp uz servyve.  Feer mayke uz akt wivowt finkin - if a wild anipal bowt to be chase by nuva anipal fur iz tee stop to fink bowt weva to wun or no e wud die - wite?  So wen uz furs feel fwetened we needs get way!

Wen we iz puppees we lerns fings vedy kwikly nd if we iz intwodooz lots fwendly furs we lerns dat it be fun play wiv uva furs nd dey is no a fwet!  Oweva - jus lyk sum umanz, sum furs is natwali mor soshbel dan uvas.  Feer of sertun fingz iz also inhewitid - why duz so meni umanz feer spiderz nd fingz? So iz no al bowt soshlisashunz - aldo dat be vedi pawtent.  Also wun vedi scawey egspeerenz can turn confident fur into scare fur!

Wen we feels we canno get way fwom da fwet to owr lyfes we duz wun or mor of sevwal fingz: flee, fweez, fiddle, fight or feint.  Az las wesawt mos of uz will fight!

Az we goze fwu lyfe (furs nd umanz) we lerns dat doin sertun fingz gets wot we wont - nd da mor ofen dat appen da mor weinfaws dat beyayvyor iz.  If it aint bwoken dussnt be fixin it wite?  So if fwowin a tantwum az a toddla get wot e want - e do it gen nd gen to get wot wont;  if sulkin or cwyin mayke sumfur treet yoo ow yoo wont be treeted yoo duz it gen nd gen;  if barkin nd lunjin at uva furs mayke em go way yoo duz it gen nd gen - get da idee?  

Diz iz wot appen to lots furs oo duz be scare uvas.  1.  Fur iz spook by uva dog, iz on leed so canno wun off, so bark nd lunj insted to twy scare uva dog off.    2.Dog iz pul way by iz owna - WESULT - da fwet iz gon.  Da beyayvur mabbe furva weinfaws by fak dat akshli barkin nd lunjin itself iz internli wewardin to uz furs. 3.  Owna tug da leed nd tell dog off - uz furs interpwit diz az justificashunz fur showtin at uva fur nd da tug on da leed mayke uz feel sayfe gen coz owna still der.

Da mor we pwaktis diz beyayvyur da stonga entwench it becum!  Da mor entwench it becum, da arda it be to chanj.

So ow to chanj it?  Wel, be pwepare fur it tayke long time!  Werk owt wot duz be scawin uz (nd mayke shur we duz be scare - sum dogz bark owt fwustwashunz nd sum dogz duz be bolshi cos of seksual fingz goin on - bofe of witch duz be vedi difruntz to feer.)

Den 1. Teech alterntiff beyayvyor to get wot wonts.  2. Desensitize uz to da fing we scare of.

Diz be mutch eezia sed dan dun cos wunz we in advance state feer we wil no be able lern nu beyayvyur - so owna az to lern twiggaz nd fweshold distanz wer we feel sayfe.  At edj diz distance az ask fur difrunt beyayvyor to barkin nd lunjin - lyke wotch me nd weward!  Now da biggest weward we can get ere is no noms or pwayz - but DISTANZ FWUM DAT FWET! So wunz got beyavyur walk way fwum fwet - no towards it.

Desensitizin can den start by vedi vedi slowli weduzin da fweshold distanz.  Memba yoo az to be vedi slo nd no wush diz.

PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEZ dus no twy mayk us apwoach da fwet!  Majin if yoo was child nd weely scare of partic gwownup.  Yoo tel yooz pawentz - but dey sez yoo got go spend da nite wiv dat pawsun!  Ow wud yoo feel?  Wot wud yoo fink bowt yoo pawents?  We needs no we can twust yoo nd we needs yoo undastan owr feer!

Diz ole pwosess be vedi difcult get wite - da timin of wewardz nd wot wewardz be vedi pawtent.  So iz bes werk wiv beyayvwist.  If yoo gets diz wong - mite mayk pwoblem werse!

Now da confwuntashunal bit:- ownerz oo lets der fur wun up to eni fur nd deklar dat der fur wud no urt no fur - e oni wont to play! Pfft! Majin yoo sat in publik playce nd sum stwanj bein cum nd sit vedi close to yoo nd start tutchin yoo nd leenin genst yoo.  Yoo moovs way, da stwanj bein moov closa to yoo gen, den it start gwopin yoo.  Wot yoo do? Twy wun way?  It folo yoo nd start gen! Yoo showt at it nd tel it stop - it ignaw yoo!  At sum poynt yoo gonna lash owt wite?  Oo be in da wong ere? Dogz oo iz scare of uva dogz iz wegli awassed nd bullid by furendli dogz wiv no mannerz nd der beyayvyur get werse nd werse az wesult. Dat iz no fare.  So if yoo duz av fur furendli fur pleeez teech im sum mannerz!

Also, beyayvyur iz neva unlern, so a fur oo be maykin gud pwogwess wiv a desensitizashunz pwogwam can be put wite bak to skware wun by wun bad egspeerwenz wiv wude dog!

We az witten diz blog to elp yooz understan why sum furs duz lunj snap nd bark at uvaz.  If yoo az a fur oo duz diz we wekmend dat yoo werk wiv pwofeshnul to chanj da beyayvur.  If yoo az fur dat bovva uva dogz nd duz no lisen to yoo wownd uva furs we wekmendz yoo find twayna to teech im sum mannerz!  Wun day e mite av bad egspeerenz wiv da wong fur, nd den becum wun of da scare wunz!

Wun mor fing! It iz gud idee teech al furs wer muzzel.  Yoo neva nose wen dey mite need wer wun. Nd if it be in scawey sitwashunz (lyke in payn afta akzdentz) dussnt wont addid tworma of werin muzzel fur fus time.  Der be lowds vidyos on intnet showin ow intwodooz muzzel - but be shoor pwaktis werin it fur lots diffrunt fingz so dussnt jus be soshiatid wiv bad or scawey fingz! 

So dat be wot we say bowt furs oo is not weely gwumpi at al!  We opes it elp ownerz wiv scare dogs undastan dem mor nd sum uva ownerz be bit mor fawtful! *nod*

Nd finalli - to liten mood likel bit we giv yoo diz ......

Uz singin

Fank yoo fur weedin. *coff*
