While raising Springerdogs, there are many habits that need to be cultivated from a young age, so as to avoid being naughty when an adult becomes an adult and the owner does not know what to do.

(1) Correction of abnormal aggressive behavior

1. Pay attention to Springer's jealousy

A normally honest Springer When he finds that his master likes other Springers or people, he will show more or less jealousy. Some show mental depression, do not like to move, or watch the owner and new favorite; some show abnormal aggressive behavior. From time to time, he made a low grunt to express his dissatisfaction and tried to drive away the enemy. If it doesn't work, it will immediately open its mouth until it bites the opponent away. Sometimes out of fear of the master, the master behaves calmly when he is there, but when the master leaves, he reveals his true self and starts aggressive behavior. The target of the attack can be any person or animal except the owner, so other pets and children should be protected. If you let them know first, it will help to regulate Springer's emotions and reduce jealousy.

Correcting the aggressive behavior should first address Springer's psychological problems, not corporal punishment, which would irritate him even more. There should be some communication between Springer and other people or Springer, such as playing together under the watchful eye of the owner; when the owner sees friendly behavior, it should be rewarded in time, such as petting and food. The emotional person starts off by holding down the body and stroking the head and chest to make it feel like you care.

2. Territorial aggression

As the saying goes, Springer is not too poor, this is due to Springer's territorial awareness. Every part of the owner's house is its own territory, and any entry of strangers or animals is a violation of itself. The specific manifestations are: screaming when the door slams, and biting when a stranger enters the house.

The rude behavior to visitors caused by Springer's territorial awareness should be corrected in time to avoid forming a habit. For the guard-type Springer, 30% penalty and 70% bonus. At the same time, use the same action to let Springer understand that this is the owner's friend. Getting beaten up in front of outsiders is a very shameful thing. If you do this many times, you will form a conditioned reflex, thinking that your own interests will be infringed upon after you come. This makes it even more unfriendly.

It should be noted that visitors can only caress Springer, such as gentle conversation, touch, etc., do not give food, so as to prevent Springer's habit of refusing food from strangers. The host should not fight with the visitors, in case Springer misunderstood that the host was attacked, he stepped forward and attacked the visitors.

3. Dominant aggression among Springer groups

When two same-sex Springers (mainly male Springers) look at a female Springer at the same time , will fight each other until one of them escapes. Such aggression sometimes costs blood. Therefore, springers who have not mated during the estrus period should be tied to the springer chain, and during the estrus period, other springers should be avoided. The method of correction is to strengthen the hierarchical relationship between dominance and subordination among Springer groups. First, observe which one is the dominant springer without being noticed by the springer, and then the master must give all the respect and privileges to the dominant springer when in contact with the springer group. If you give it more attention, when you take Springer out for a walk, let it go out first and always walk in the front, etc. If other Springers are found to be disobedient, the owner will punish them, which strengthens Springer The hierarchical relationship of dominance and obedience among groups.

Springer accepts the role of dominance and submission as an instinct, not to artificially disrupt this relationship. If it is found that the Springer group is still fighting when the owner is absent, it means that this hierarchical relationship has not been established or determined, and the owner should help the Springer group to establish this relationship. (2) Correction of destructive behavior

For little Springer, digging, biting or scratching objects is a normal behavior, and it will gradually disappear with age, but for young Springer For the accusers, it is an abnormal behavior.

There are many reasons for this behavior, mainly related to Springer's emotional state, such as loneliness when alone, troubled, and loud noises in the surrounding environment, etc. abnormal behavior. Some Springers may be a vicious habit, and destructive behavior may occur regardless of time or place. There may also be various ways of performance. For example, some Springer may only have this behavior for a certain item or at a certain place, while some Springer may not have any fixed goals. The method of correction is to treat the disease. First, it is necessary to determine the place and object of the destructive behavior, and then adopt different methods according to different situations. For example, for items that Springer often destroys, remove them and place them out of Springer's reach, or place an upside-down mousetrap next to the item. When Springer bites, the mousetrap bounces And to scare Springer away, after many times, Springer dare not bite the item. For those Springers who do not have a fixed destruction target, in addition to the aforementioned methods, necessary punishment measures must be taken. (3) Correction of heterophilia

Heterophilia refers to Springer consciously ingesting some non-food substances, such as stones, rubber, feces, etc. Springer who has this behavior is not only extremely unhygienic, but also may cause gastrointestinal problems from these foreign bodies. The reason for this behavior is not very clear, and sometimes the body may lack a certain substance, such as vitamins, inorganic salts and so on. Correction: Heterophilic behavior caused by lack of nutrients can be corrected by supplementing nutrients.

The cause and pattern of addiction should be found out through careful observation and analysis, such as the type of food that you like, and under what circumstances, etc., and appropriate measures should be taken to correct it. If it is a nutritional heterophobia, the lack of nutrients should be supplemented first. For non-nutritive heterophilia, punishment can be taken to correct it. The direct punishment method is to bring the foreign object in front of Springer, when Springer ingests food, he reprimands and strikes loudly, and takes the object away, and then moves the foreign object in front of Springer, If he wants to eat again, he will be punished until Springer stops eating. Some springers are afraid of the owner's punishment. They dare not take it when the owner is present, and may return to the original state when the owner is not there. In this case, the indirect punishment method should be used, that is, smearing chili powder on the foreign object is very irritating and irritating. Springer's harmless items, when Springer ingests it, he will feel spicy and uncomfortable, and he will not dare to eat it again. It can also be corrected with a water spray gun, that is, the owner takes a few water spray guns filled with water and hides them in a concealed place. Frightened and run away, after a few repetitions, Springer will overcome his heterophilia. However, care should be taken not to associate the water spraying action with the owner's punishment, which should be caused by its feeding behavior. For other abnormal behaviors, Springer's owner can correct it according to the above principles and methods.
