Behaviour
Dog behavior refers to the collection of behaviors by the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, and is believed to be influenced by genetic, social, situational and environmental causes. The domestic dog is a subspecies of the grey wolf, and shares many of its behavioral characteristics. Although there are important and distinct differences between dogs and wolves, contemporary views of dog behavior are heavily influenced by research on wild wolves.
Social Behaviour
The social unit of dogs is the pack. From research on wolf packs that are formed in captivity, the pack has traditionally been thought of as a tightly knit group composed of individuals that have earned a ranking in a linear hierarchy, and within which there is intense loyalty. It is believed that dogs were able to be domesticated by and succeed in contact with human society because of their social nature. According to this traditional belief, dogs generalize their social instincts to include humans, in essence "joining the pack" of their owner/handler. However, much of this traditional view is based on findings from grey wolf packs that are formed of unrelated animals in captivity, and thus may not apply to natural wolf packs, natural dog packs, or dogs incorporated into a human household. Research in packs formed in the wild indicates that wolves form a family group, including a breeding pair and their offspring. In these familial packs, the terms "dominance," and "submission" are less useful than "parent," and "offspring," and bring with them a number of misconceptions. While the majority of research to date indicates that domestic dogs conform to a hierarchy around an Alpha-Beta-Omega structure, domestic dogs, like their wild wolf counterparts, also interact in complex hierarchical ways.
How it works
With my knowledge and experience of dog training, my Rehabilitation program concentrates not only in structuring a Rehabilitation Programme but also teaches the you the owners how to employ it. Regular support is given by by e-mail and telephone once the Rehabilitation is complete, sometimes on daily basis. I am not only experienced in aggression but all anti-social behaviours.
Some rehabilition service may already be offered by individual trainers but we differ as we offer the facilities to deal with all behaviours. In the field of Rehabilitation it is offered as a complimentary service to the already recognised bodies that form the canine/human support system.
Our Programs
We have three levels of programs:
- One week would cover basic training.
- Two weeks is enough to work minor anti-social behaviour.
- Four weeks is for intense behavioural issues which need to be addressed slowly.
