I
would like to comment about the principal relationship within the
human being and all other species, especially one of our closest
friends … the dog.
The
human breed is very special thinking that he is the best of all by
putting himself on such a high pedestal.
Being
an animal - human behaviourist and psychologist, after years of
analysing, my answer is that there is no justification for that and
nothing makes the human better than any other specie !!!
In
fact we humans are only out to destroy everything around us.
Yes
we are intelligent by inventing all this incredible technology, more
and more, we just can't stop … and what is all the brillant
technology for ? To destroy ourselves and the beautiful nature and
species, we should respectfully share our lives with.
Over
the thousands of years that the human race exists we are lacking in
many ways, have lost our instinct, common sense, any sense to judge
facts in a sensibal way.
When
I am asked to help dog owners with problems they are having with
their dogs, one of the first things they say to me is: “my dog does
such stupid things” or “my dog is such a
nuisance”
or “my dog is driving me crazy” … and very rarely anybody says
to me “could it
possibly
being caused by me ?”
Hardly
any human looks intensely at himself and questions his actions. We
don't even take the
time
/ patience trying to understand our own dogs after we started
domesticating them 6400
yrs.
ago and still we have a lack of communication with them.
Instead
humans go to dog training classes to drill their dogs in a military
way to be obedient and then be proud of how they achieved this in the
end.
Drill
is conditioning, that means the dog will follow your command, because
its brain is conditioned, but it doesn't do it out of respect for his
owner, two completely different results.
A
good example are we humans, we are conditioned on money, our brains
are conditioned on consuming goods and possessions. A circus animal
is conditioned and with condition comes adiction and obsession.
What
actually makes the dog submissive and respectful ?
It
is the understanding between packleader (owner) and his pack (dog).
When
understood the submission and obedience will automatically take place
out of respect.
Respect
is based on trust and the key to every relationship between species.
It
is a giving and taking by understanding eachother.
