I cani nei canili...


I have not seen many animal shelters in my life.
More than anything I've heard.
Clearly the news that there's always the worst, dogs abused, left in the cold and dirty ... and the authorities never intervene.
But there are kennels that you not talk much, which remain "behind the scenes, which are not subsidized by the various municipalities, but live and voluntary offers, where dogs are not hundreds to avoid becoming just numbers, but few.
And who cares knows all about them, their lives, their past experiences, unfortunately, very often negative ...
I had the good fortune to meet one of these "kennels" that in reality is called SHELTER, this word already gives an idea of \u200b\u200bhow guests are treated!
E' stata una vera emozione ascoltare una delle ragazze mentre mi raccontava le particolarità di ogni singolo peloso, con affetto, passione e soprattutto una fiducia infinita nel fatto che potesse venire adottato.
Sorge spontanea la domanda: cosa posso fare per loro?
Fin'ora mi sono confrontata con cani e proprietari, coppie in cui spesso bastava indirizzare il proprietario verso un linguaggio più "canino" perchè molte incomprensioni e problemi si risolvessero.
Ora invece mi troverei a lavorare solo con una parte del binomio, a cui dovrei spiegare che la paura/aggressività/indifferenza - a seconda dei casi - non è l'unico modo di comunicare con il resto del mondo.
Mi verrebbe da portarmeli a casa uno alla volta per fargli vivere una realtà diversa, ma non sarebbe giusto nè fattibile...
Rendere fiducioso un cane nei confronti delle persone del rifugio, lo renderebbe pronto poi a vivere al di fuori di quella "bolla" sicura?
Certamente la famiglia che dovesse sceglierlo, dovrebbe avere garantito un periodo di affiancamento in caso di problemi, sapere di avere sempre la possibilità di chiedere aiuto.
Quindi, nella speranza di poter iniziare a dare il mio aiuto e contributo a questo branco del rifugio, mi sto ingegnando nell'escogitare possibili interventi per le diverse caratteristiche dei cani presenti...

E' un compito not easy, but ... it will be worth while!

Cani e bambini!


How exciting is to see a child interacting with a dog?
Yes, but the dog must know who are the children, and children must be able to interact with your dog!
I had the pleasure of "educating" of two sisters aged 3 and 6 to the knowledge of this animal.

In general, the first difficulty is to make it clear to children that in the presence of the dog did not scream, do not you jump, you do not run (and thus far should help education given by parents ...), not the name of the dog and then run away by those cries that are calling for the dog, while the children are turned into terror when they see themselves chased by an animal with open mouth and teeth in view!
Then the child will learn as you approach the dog and where you can start to stroke ...

it did not appear suddenly from behind the rushing back and clear the queue!?!
You can not go straight to the nose of the dog e. .. pull his ears!?!
There you can lie down and pull his feet to see the famous fingertips!?!
You can not go by the dog while sleeping and waking suddenly, o rubargli i giochi magari da sotto il muso...
Non si và a importunare il povero animale mentre mangia...

Il bimbo, come l'adulto, deve farsi vedere dal cane, magari chiamandolo per nome; deve avvicinarsi piano, facendo una piccola curva, al fianco dell'animale e iniziare ad accarezzare il fianco dell'animale... con un pò di pressione però, non facendogli il solletico!
Nel mio caso mi sono trovata con due sorelline diversissime: la più piccola con tanta voglia di abbracciare il pelosone, la più grandicella... lo accarezzava delicatamente ma poi si sentiva la mano sporca e doveva andare a lavarsela!?!
Ho quindi cercato in un caso di abbassare l'eccitazione della piccola e nell'altro to get used to the different feel of the big pet a dog, making sure the hair was clean, making watching and participating in cleaning the animal.

Take a puppy when children are young is a wonderful experience for the young man's life, but adult supervision is always required, never leave children and dogs alone.
not give the dog a responsibility to care for a child to keep him company ... is not his task, even if "the dog is good."
The "incidents" between dogs and children of a man almost always happen just because the adult is not present at that time with the family dogs, accustomed to the child.

An interesting observation is that the dog then the child is not being who is born since adolescence, but it's someone new when you start walking to 3 years, 6 years ... In short, "a dog accustomed to the children" is an animal that knows all these "other children".

Taglia piccola e... taglia grande!

've always thought "Rather than a small sized dog get a cat ...
Why?
Why you always knew "little dogs" that do nothing but bark, the whole world, your dog will now looks with suspicion and partly to bark when he sees that they fidget, as children's clothes with collars vistosissimi with owners ready to pick her up because "your dog is so great ... pulled here and there with very short leash, "hung" at the hands of the owner who insists on saying: "But my Fufi pulls absolutely no !"... Masters
not even take them out for their bisognini that they get used to diapers and bedding from the floor like a cat ...
A lady once told you: "I have a big terrace, if I did I could grow grass to avoid him out?"
And so, together with the owners, you started to "not tolerate" even the "little dogs"!?! Now that Trenitalia
then only allows them access to the train ...
But fate has led you and your medium sized dog you met two small dogs, with boss (male !!!), even without a leash, a park and a street that ... magic ... behaved like dogs "normal" ... a true mirage!
Even your dog of medium size has remained astonished, had not even realized they were real dogs at the beginning!
But the biggest surprise was seeing the two masters (repeat: males) who behaved as if their dogs were "normal" in terms of posture, physical attitude, a real dance between the two ...
Think about how hard the times you do with the your medium sized dog ... at the end of the leash ever goes live ... (Perhaps because you are a woman?!?)

The dog becomes what the owner is committed to make it: a small-sized dog can become a great dog at communication!

What size will your next dog?
