How to cultivate the mental health and quality of young mastiff?

Puppy period is an important period for the development of psychological and physiological functions of dogs. During this period, creating an environment conducive to physical and mental development, shaping the puppy's psychology and cultivating certain qualities are favorable guarantees for the puppy to grow into a qualified working dog. Small Tibetan mastiff 1. Shaping healthy psychological puppies' psychological development is closely related to the environment. When the puppies meet the basic survival needs at the same time or after, the puppies interact with the external environment, and during this period, the puppies have little influence on the outside world, mainly all kinds of external information, so controlling the living environment that affects the puppies will affect the dogs' understanding of the outside world. Shaping the dog's perfect psychology can start from the following aspects: (1) Meeting the dog's safety needs is the basis of the dog's mental health. "Good and harm are the only knowledge that puppies have about the outside world". In the survival process of puppies, the characteristics of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" are very prominent. In dogs from two weeks to six weeks old, the sensory organs have been gradually improved, and the "imprint" learning method is playing a greater role. During this period, its harmful stimulation to the outside world is easy to form a stable memory. Therefore, in this period, it is necessary to create a safe environment so that puppies will not be suddenly and inadvertently stimulated, and puppy nurses should establish good relations with both bitches and puppies. As an important "environment" outside the bitch, nurses create favorable conditions for the puppies to leave the bitch and make the puppies confident in their own growth. Many cases of adult dogs' timidity and nervousness are often related to the harmful stimulation to puppies. For puppies, safety is everything (2) The group relationship of puppies is an important step in the psychological growth of dogs, which can promote the further development of senses and increase the ability of information exchange. The social habits of dogs are the foundation laid in early life, and the habits of getting along with adults are more traces of getting along with puppies. For dogs before the age of five weeks, because of their small functional differences and similar activities, it is not easy to hurt each other when communicating with each other, and the behaviors such as biting and chasing during this period are the exercise of hunting instinct, so providing dogs with venues to stimulate dog communication, such as lawns, can promote dogs' judgment of space and enhance their physical strength. Changing venues for dogs can also provide more opportunities for dogs to play. (3) Guiding the dog's individual consciousness is the key to the dog's psychological growth. Entering the physical growth period of 6 19 weeks, with the appearance and aggravation of physical differences, dogs have a strong "self-awareness" in their activities, which is caused by food fights and is characterized by this. The evolution and strengthening of dog's individual consciousness leads puppies to know themselves better, which leads to behaviors based on conditioned reflex activities, such as not daring to eat the food that appears and not daring to compete for the possession of the things they take. At this time, it is very important to keep dogs separately and grasp this opportunity. When the behavior of choosing puppies appears for a period of time but does not cause serious psychological pressure on puppies. This is a way to help build confidence. When separating, the puppies should keep visual contact first. To maintain their demand for the group. Spatial isolation training is the beginning of developing the inferior dog's personality and making it have the superior dog temperament. At this time, based on the feeding of the dog, the dog's body is full of energy. Set up a separate fence to communicate with other dogs and bark and intimidate each other. In the neglected collective breeding, the difference between the superior dog and the inferior dog will increase, which will lead to the nervousness and unconfidence of the inferior dog. In contrast, dogs with extremely weak or neurotic traits are rarely found in domestic dogs, which may have a lot to do with breeding alone in time. (4) The puppy's play behavior is a reflection of the dog's psychological characteristics. There are obviously more games between puppies than adult dogs. The dog's game behavior grows with the puppy, and its content is constantly changing. It is also the primary stage of cultivating a certain working ability. There are two necessary conditions for this kind of behavior to happen: one is internal happiness, and the other is extra energy. Therefore, create an environment for the dog to complete the game behavior, the trainer plays with the dog and provides the dog with toys, such as balls, linen, wood blocks and so on. It is also a catalyst to promote their game behavior and healthy psychological development. When there is obvious fighting in the game, the dog should be stopped manually. For those dogs who are not good at playing games, we can use the morning and evening time to create opportunities when the puppies are excited and use their excitement to let the dogs discover the fun of playing games themselves. Through game activities, the dog's activity is enhanced and his confidence is sufficient, which is very beneficial for him to become a working dog. Second, the cultivation of puppy's physiological quality is based on the dog's basic activity ability. Some qualities are also necessary for working dogs. For police dogs, the following aspects should be strengthened for puppies. (1) dog's physical strength. Dog's physical strength is the basis of dog's activity ability and endurance. After the puppies can do physical activities, they should start physical training. The younger the dog is, the more physical training should run through the dog's autonomous activities, so that the puppies can control their own activities. As the dog grows up, it is necessary to make further plans and constantly extend the walking distance with the dog, not too many times. Furthermore, on this basis, increase the training and exercise of the dog's physical flexibility, such as climbing and lowering obstacles, taking narrow bridges, turning and running. And cultivate the flexibility of the body while improving physical strength. (2) the courage of the dog. There is an important period to cultivate the courage of dogs, that is, when dogs are five to seven months old. The cultivation of dog's courage includes the adaptation of puppies to the environment and the enhancement of dog's courage to people. Dogs are becoming more and more sensitive to the environment and less and less courageous. In this process, we should play with the dog, so that the dog can have synchronous negative reactions during the exciting time, while ignoring the existence of strange things. At this time, the dog should not be forced to complete activities such as going up the stairs, but should be guided to do it excitedly to avoid the passive reaction of the dog. Conduct conscious fire fighting and audio drills. Adapt to people, encourage dogs to bark after they can bark, and trainers should not use strong mechanical stimulation to avoid other people's shouting and other sound stimulation. (3) affordability. Holding objects is one of the necessary abilities of working dogs. The dog's biting ability is transformed from hunting instinct. There are two ways to cultivate the dog's bite force: at an appropriate stage of dog development, it is very important to cultivate the dog's bite force. Even before the two-month-old dog, the puppy showed the activity of chasing and grabbing. At this time, it is easier to develop the dog's grasping ability by playing with branches and tennis balls. After seven months, the dog's body tends to mature. At this time, if the dog has not developed the ability to bite, it is beneficial to the dog's fierceness. If the dog has a strong hatred for people, you can pick the dog with sacks and sticks to stimulate the dog's malicious bite and turn its hatred from the entrance to the goods. The key point is to enhance the dog's confidence in possession and access to goods. (4) Correct the bad habits of puppies. In the management of puppy feeding, puppies are influenced by many factors, and may develop bad habits, such as chasing poultry, besieging people and playing in sewage. Because the dog's nervous system is not well developed, it is difficult to bear strong stimulation, so the puppy should adopt the strategy of prevention first and not give the dog a chance to display it. Once the prohibited behavior occurs, the trainer only needs to pull away and stop it, and should give less mechanical or password stimulation to make it naturally fade away from bad habits. The psychological and physiological training of puppies runs through the feeding and management of puppies. In this process, the dog trainer must know more about the dog's development characteristics and give the dog the correct guidance patiently and meticulously according to the dog's conditions, so as to cultivate a working dog that meets the training needs.
