Breeder of Stoopy

It can be that when you come with the pup at home, the pup very free and fier walks around and when the pup comes in the kitchen that heshe suddenly in each other crawls. The pup continues sit or will lie. You see clearly that the pup has fear. Do not make you then immediately look concerning the character of your dog and try simply do against the pup. You can, however, what to say against the pup, but on calm, pleasant, concerned tone. Course for example himself the kitchen and says that there is nothing to the hand. Course to the living room and returns the pup a single stroke concerning its head after you your legs have fallen. Furthermore give little attention on occur and simply continue, the pup ignores a beetje. Possibly that the pup has caught a pivot which was not yet confessed. This can be also a certain fragrance pivot. You will see, if this happens at you, that the pup at a given moment has got used to that pivot and does or never something to the hand has been. the pup is present still in the socialisation period and you must let the pup to daily things and him get usedher for that gives also occasion.

Such as your weet there a socialisation period exists for a dog. This period starts at approximately 3 weeks and finishes around the 3 months. The beginning of the socialisation period has started at the fokker. In this period the fokker the pups with so many possible and several pivots will try let make knowledge, think of radio, substance piston but also to people, children and animals. If the pup with many have been faced several pivots, these, if he is parent, show much less fear for new pivots. As from 8th up to 12e yielded you the pup must accompany in this period and you must finish the socialisation process. You do not have think now that you after this period it will get much easier, because after the socialisation period the fear period starts. The fear period lasts to the dog approximately 7 months old is. When you dog in the fear period no more contact get with people outside the roedel or a situation outside its territory (house and erf) the dog a decline get and the dog will become anxious, both for people and for situations. It seems in such a case or no socialisation period has been. You must therefore, however, ensure that the dog continues receive pivots.

What is the difference between the socialisation period and the fear period? I will try this make clear, at least roughly and such as I see it. In the socialisation period the dog gets used easy and in principle automatic to new pivots; the pivots receive the dog mainly within the roedel and territory and in this period goes the dog on objects, situations finished. In the fear period the dog gets used more with difficulty to new pivots (dependent on its socialisation period); the most of new pivots receive the dog outside its own area (markets, area etc.) and in the fear period has the dog the inclination to escape for new pivots.

For example: You are already some times your pup will express on grasveldje at you in the street. At a given moment there a refuse pocket stands or - container on the trottoir. The pup experiences this as a new pivot and will continue stand. At a given moment the pup will go to the obstakel, because is boss there not warm or cold becomes. After the pup has sniffed at it well, he passes through to 2e the refuse pocket or - container where the pup will do the same, but in inferior half-measures. At the third pocket he passes through simply and possibly already no longer smells. If this happens with a young dog of approximately 4 months to see you a complete different picture. The young dog wants escape will, to the other side of the way or to house. He will examine the object also not from itself of near, the boss him must help, possibly to the last obstakel. If called young dog of approximately 4 months in its socialisation period had made knowledge with a refuse pocket or - container he had differently reacted probably complete and flight behaviour nil or virtually nil had been. The inclination to escape is there of at the other moment, on what you you, as a boss, cannot prepare.

If a young dog does not escape for a pivot must you admit. Certainly to the will of the dog do not admit for reason for other people and what they will think according to you. It is for many people not nice if their shepherd wants escape whereas a young dog of a much show smaller race in that situation no fear. Attract you of others nothing. When you permit behaviour and for example you leave continue on the other hand of the way (example of refuse) the dog the next time the same want do and in the future also, but not only in this case also in other cases. In the case of the refuse you something to the back and looks you that the dog runs a beetje quiet becomes. Some dogs are possible really paniekerig become. You can quote the dog best just as, but do not cuddle. Afterwards run you with the aangelijnde dog in the direction of the obstakel for which the dog had escaped. Now you can act because you weet what will will happen supposedly, your dog will try the same do, , as it happens, escape. Now you can you and must resolute act. This is possible in several manners, but late the dog sees that you are the boss and that you stipulate where is run there and how is run there, the dog must follow its roedelleider.

Itself I have experienced such a behaviour with several dogs. There a young dog at me do not get much line, the dog in the surroundings of the obstakel doesnot can the young dog also far and stays away escape. You must get try the dog on that spot quieter by simply against him talking (of other people attract nothing) and try infer the dog. The young dog must patronise you at such a moment never and after the young dog a beetje has been inferred, you take the dog short to the line and run you further, without giving the chance to the dog something else to do.However, ensure that you are you as from the fright moment always between obstakel and the dog. If you the obstakel is past, walk back you. Generally goes that all what improves and if it goes better you can reward yourself dog, but exaggerated not too. Vervolgens for the third time walk past the obstakel. If you continue afterwards you gone, the young dog without drang runs escape to along the other containers in the street. It is well that you make at a later time once more the same gone with the dog. Your weet what can happen there, but frequently the dog walks along simply with your as if never something has been to the hand. If you dog then nevertheless still a beetje is careful, tap you a couple time with your hand on the object and look you that your dog the object will sniff at. Grant him for this the time but do not stipulate late the dog when is it further run, you, the roedelleider, stipulates that, as it happens.

It can also occur that a young dog, with a pup I it has never experienced,suddenly is scared for a certain shrub or kei where you frequently come along, whereas the dog has been scared for that never. He does not escape exactly gone but tries the distance between object and increase him itself. This continues continue tijdje and it seems sometimes or it more terrible becomes. This generally comes by the little boss. The little boss makes then wrongly to think if will you who buurt enters, oh how my dog will react today? Try you relax and not to think, you see it, however. if you you will make already look before you that point recovers, dog sees you that and he takes over the uncertainty of you and he that spot will continue try avoid. Try no give attention there and infers to the dog but care that he continues run well beside you. Here too is possible you improve between dog and object to run. You will proceed see it automatically and exactly this way sudden such as it has come. This succeeds does not leave then someone else of the family with the dog which walks past spot. This situation can also arise if you run somewhere with your dog and suddenly start behind a door a dog bark there. If you the next time walks past the same door, it can be that the dog will keep distance. Trade in this case then net this way as at a shrub or kei.

Many people think that when a young dog has fear for storm, the dog has experienced never storm in the nest andor that pivot has missed in the socialisation process. If this where would be then a lot of dogs frightened must be during storm. According to me this correct and has in principle absolutely no dog is not fear for storm, but the dog takes over this fear of the roedel or roedelleider. If there someone has in the family (roedel) fear for storm, care then that the pup or young dog has no contact with he during the storm but also considerable time for the storm. A dog sees, as it happens, (rather than people) when there a storm comes. When someone, that fear for storm has, it sees, that person radiates already fear from which by the dog can be taken over. The dog associates this fear with the storm and becomes also anxious. I call it learned fear, because actual it is no real fear. There are call examples still more of learned fear. Thus is possible a pup or young dog at night leaves are expressed in a dark bunch. As the one, that dog then expresses, fear or a beetje has fear, the dog sees this and can the dog also fear get in a dark bunch. Prevent such occur with your pup or young dog. As the fear period beyond is, its character has mainly formed the dog and these by learned fear rapidly will not become beï ¿ ½ vloed for the rest of its life. An adult dog sees, however, when someone has fear, but to will will there act. In the example of the bunch he will be be very attentive and with storm dense at you. Comfort? If you dog has already a learned fear, try infer him then, care that the dog busy is and does not forget then the dog reward if he has done something good.

Hallo henk,

Hoi Stacey Het is jammer dat jullie nieuwe aanwinst bij de fokker weinig kennis heeft kunnen maken met mensen. Gelukkig weten jullie dit. Ten eerste zou ik mijn pup niet laten aaien door iedereen die ik tegenkwam, althans niet zo lang als mijn hond "angst" vertoont voor mensen. Wanneer jullie pup geen angst meer voor mensen heeft, is het iets anders, maar dan nog zou ik alleen die mensen laten aaien waar de hond zelf naar toe gaat. Waarschijnlijk zal jullie pup ook moeilijkheden hebben met andere prikkels, die ze krijgt. Ik zou daarom haar met zo veel mogelijk nieuwe prikkels in aanraking laten komen, maar zorg dat ze niet te veel vreemde prikkels in eens krijgt. Met zoveel mogelijk bedoel ik, iedere dag een paar nieuwe. Tussen de benen gaan zitten, is een vorm van steun zoeken. Ik zou dit niet bestraffen, maar zeker niet gewoon accepteren. Wanneer ze tussen je benen komt zitten, kun je haar het beste negeren en na een paar seconden weg stappen. Gewoon blijven praten en doen, maar niet naar je hond kijken. Zo leer je haar dat ze zelfstandiger wordt en dat ze zelf iets moet doen/handelen om die "vervelende situatie" op te lossen. Succes

Hopend op een antwoord, Bruce Vercaemst

Hallo,
We hebben sinds een paar weken een jonge Oud Duitse herder (volgens de
dierenarts 10 mnd) in huis. We hebben hem via Marktplaats gvonden. Hij stond aan
een parasolvoet vastgebonden in zijn eigen stront. Hij stond daar zo zielig en
graatmager dat we hem ondanks alle tegenwerpingen toch hebben meegenomen.Er
staat een heel lief koppie op! Nu blijkt dat hij erg angstig is. Bij de minste
geringste dwang van mijn kant (de baas) vertoont hij angstgedrag. Hij kruipt
weg. Als mijn vrouw hem roept komt hij wel, maar als ik hem roep als hij in de
tuin is, loopt hij bang weg.  Ook als ik hem in zijn hok wil laten vertoont hij
dit zelfde gedrag. Is
het mogelijk dat de hond mishandeld is door een man? Wat is de remedie?

Hoi Frits Wat goed dat jullie die hond toch een hondenleven willen geven, echt lovenswaardig. Ja of hij mishandeld is geworden door een man, is natuurlijk gissen. Er kunnen ook andere oorzaken zijn, misschien heeft hij alleen een vrouw meegemaakt in zijn leven. Ik weet het niet. Waarschijnlijk zullen er nog wel meer "niet gewenste eigenschappen" zijn of naar boven komen. Een en ander zal jullie veel tijd en energie gaan kosten en of de angst er helemaal uit zal gaan, weet ik niet. Naar mijn bescheiden mening zou ik in ieder geval contact opnemen met een gedragsdeskundige, die de hond kan observeren. Tot die tijd positief belonen en situaties zeer langzaam opbouwen. Probeer zijn angst te negeren. Als hij geen angst heeft als je vrouw hem roept, moet je hem niet roepen maar aan je vrouw overlaten. Probeer in huis een positieve band op te bouwen en vooral niets forceren. Succes
