摘要:

SUMMARYThe aim of the project reported here was to study the behaviour of a beagle bitch and her puppies using a video camera. This allowed continuous discreet observations of the animals throughout the twenty‐four hours of each day. Changes in maternal behaviour from whelping to the start of weaning, and the way in which feeding and cleaning activity varied between daytime and night‐time were easily assessed by the system. It was also possible to assess the effect of the presence of people during the day on the bitch's behavi

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is to explain what the ‘Selectadog’ programme is, to emphasize some things it is not, to show what it is for and who benefits, to detail the forms that it is in, to give some indication as to how it works and to relate some of the experiences of using ‘Selectadog’ in the United Kingdom and elsewhere since 1975.‘Selectadog’ is a programme designed to match up the characteristics of the more popular breeds of dog to the circumstances of potential owners, as identified by means of a questionnaire. Its purpose is to give guidance to people thinking about getting a dog andabove allto make them think through the points they should be considering about fitting a new dog into their lives. At best and it is quite a good best, it can give the prospective owner a number of leads and a positive starting point. It also provides a good deal of free advice and information to allow the new owner to begin a prolonged period of responsible pet animal ownership, without putting them off un

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe nature of the dog's behaviour is reviewed. The nervous system is activated by afferent nerve impulses generated in various sense‐organs. The sum of internal (motivation) and external stimuli is analysed in a steady state system. A marked discrepancy between important set values and their actual values will make the organism react.A communication system consisting of the dog handler, the dog, signals and key‐stimuli and other external influences (noise), is used when training a dog. The change of behaviour is more permanent and a new behaviour pattern is established more rapidly when the training is organized in such a way that key‐stimuli and conditioned signals which elicit wanted behaviour sequences are reiterated many times before a verbal command is added to the stimuli. A dog handler must also know the activation of emotional behaviour. Stress, coping and aggression are expressions used to describe such activation.A general check‐list to be used when starting training tasks are suggested. The exercise ‘retrieve’ is used as
