It stands to reason that dogs should be a optimist with no worries.
But that's not the case in fact, just like the song Little boy, seldom troubled... When you grow up, troubles increase. If you worry too much, it will naturally affect your mental health. As the owner, you definitely don't want a Lin Daiyu dog who frowns all day long, right?
A mentally healthy dog should be sunny, happy, happy... There is no need to say more similar adjectives. A mentally unhealthy dog is mainly suspicious, timid, neurotic, manic, and in severe cases, has a desire to attack.
Cultivation of healthy psychology from childhood
The most important period for the development of psychological functions of dogs is when they are young. The environment of Mei Lao is very helpful to shape the healthy psychology of dogs.
The psychological development of a dog is very closely related to the environment when it is young. When the dog meets the basic survival needs, the dog's psychology is easily affected by various information from the outside world.
In order to cultivate a healthy psychology for young dogs, the owner must first meet the needs of the dog's safety, which is the basis of healthy psychology. Young dogs only know benefit and harm to the outside world, and seeking advantage and avoiding disadvantage is one of the most prominent characteristics of dogs. The sensory organs of dogs aged 2 to 6 weeks have been gradually perfected, and the learning method of imprinting will play a great role in this stage. In layman's terms, it means that during this period, dogs can easily form a stable and difficult memory for external noxious stimuli. Is it a bit like the shadow of childhood that Mr. Freud often talks about?
During this period, the owner must assume the responsibility of the bodyguard and provide a safe environment for the dog, so that the dog will not be accidentally stimulated by surprise. In this way, dogs who are born in the new society and grow up under the red flag will have full confidence in the revolutionary path of future growth.
A stick may not produce a filial dog
No matter what breed, dogs are always naughty. Many owners believe in the theory of a stick makes a good dog when training their dogs. For this, moderate corporal punishment is necessary. But if you overdo it, it will be just the opposite.
The corporal punishment of a dog must be coordinated with many factors such as the right time, place, people, etc., otherwise it is easy to leave a bad psychological shadow on the dog. For example, before corporal punishment, you must be able to catch the dog's mistakes (this is especially important), other members of the family should not immediately maintain the dog during corporal punishment, the scale of corporal punishment should not be too high, and after appropriate corporal punishment Don't repair with the dog right away... With so many demands, I don't know whether to punish the dog or the owner in the end.
Among so many conditions, it is especially important to master not to overdo it, nor to corporally punish the dog multiple times in a short period of time. Otherwise, the dog may be frightened when the owner raises his hand or picks up the stick. What's more, some dogs will even grin in self-defense.
Don't drive the dog out
Sometimes the owner's inadvertent actions may cause psychological damage to the dog, thus causing the dog to form a psychological shadow.
Some friends take their dogs to other places when they go out, which is a helpless move. As everyone knows, if not handled properly, the dog will be very injured because of this. Because the dog will think that the owner put it elsewhere for no reason, probably because the owner don't want it.
If you have to foster your dog, there may be a few things you can do to minimize the damage to your dog. First of all, before fostering, the owner should take the dog to familiarize himself with the environment, and let the dog leave an impression: Ah, this is not a strange and dangerous place! Secondly, it is best to find a dog companion for the dog in the foster place, which will make the dog feel less lonely. Third, the dog's living habits must be told to the fosterer, and when the dog is fostered, leave some items with the owner's scent and the utensils that the dog is used to, so that the dog The dog will feel safer.
For the sake of our sunshine dogs, owners may be careful.
