ʻO ka ʻīlio lohe ʻole i kekahi mea maʻamau e launa pū me kona kīnā. Eia nō naʻe, pono e mākaukau ka mea nāna e mālama i ka holoholona make. ʻO nā hōʻailona lima a me ka ʻōlelo kino ke hele mai i mua.
No ka mea ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio me ka ʻīlio kuli ma ka leo, pono ʻoe e kamaʻilio me ia ma kekahi ala ʻē aʻe. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hōʻailona lima, ke kū ʻana, a me nā hana, a me nā hiʻohiʻona maka. He mea koʻikoʻi nā hōʻailona lima i ka wā e hoʻolohe ai i kekahi mau kauoha no ka ʻīlio. I loko o ka ʻohana, pono e ʻae like i nā hōʻailona like ʻole i huikau ka hoa wāwae ʻehā. He mea maikaʻi hoʻi e koho i nā huapalapala maʻalahi. Pono e hoʻonui ʻia kēia mau mea i ka mua. He mea koʻikoʻi ka hōʻailona akaka loa no ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana.
ʻO ka mea mua, pono ʻoe e kūkulu i nā hōʻailona ma ke ʻano e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻonui iā lākou. Akā, aia kekahi mau koho ʻē aʻe: "Ua lawelawe maikaʻi ʻia ke kola vibration iaʻu no kaʻu kāne Beagle Benni," wahi a Desiree Schwers mai Kastl (D). ʻOiai ua ʻike ʻo ia e hele mai ʻo ia iā ia i ka wā e haʻalulu ai ke kola - "ka mea aʻu i paipai maikaʻi wale ai" - hele me ka ʻole o ka lei ʻaʻole pilikia.
"Me he mea lā ke hoʻopilikia nui nei ke kuli i kaʻu ʻīlio ma mua o kaʻu," wahi a Schwers. No ka mea, ʻo ka kamaʻilio ʻana ma waena o nā ʻīlio e hoʻokumu wale ʻia ma nā leo leo; hana nui ia ma o ka olelo kino. ʻAʻole e pōʻino ka joie de vivre a i ʻole nā manaʻo kūlohelohe e like me ka hahai holoholona a me ka hana pale. "Pono wau e ʻike pinepine i ka ʻeha hope," wahi a Schwers.
He mea koʻikoʻi ka ʻike maka
Nānā pono nā ʻīlio, ʻike lākou i ke ʻano, ke ʻano, a me nā hiʻohiʻona maka. Pono ʻoe e kamaʻilio pū me kāu hoa ʻehā wāwae, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻo ia e hoʻolohe iā ʻoe, no ka mea, ʻo kāu mau ʻōlelo ponoʻī e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia e kekahi kūlana a me kahi hiʻohiʻona i mea nui no ka ʻīlio. No ka laʻana, ʻike koke ka hoa ʻehā wāwae he hōʻike ʻana i ka ʻoluʻolu a ʻo ia hoʻi ka mahalo.
Inā hōʻike ka hoa ʻehā wāwae i kahi ʻano makemake ʻole, ua aʻo ʻia ʻo ia me kahi hōʻailona lima kūikawā, kahi kūlana kūpono, a me nā hiʻohiʻona helehelena. Pono e hooki koke ʻia nā hana e pōʻino ai ka ʻīlio, no ka laʻana me ka pā mālie me ka lima. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi inā ʻike ka ʻīlio i ke kanaka ma mua o kona hoʻopā ʻia ʻana i ʻole ia e hoʻopuʻu a hoʻopaʻa pono iā ia iho. No laila, pono e huki mua ʻia ka manaʻo o ka ʻīlio i ka mea nāna. Aia nā ʻano hana like ʻole no kēia, e like me ka haʻalulu ma ke ʻano o kahi kukui e hehi ana i ka lepo a i ʻole ka wiggling o ka leash.
ʻO ka pilikia nui ma ke kaʻa
Ua ʻike ʻo Desiree Schwers i ʻelua mau kūlana e komo pinepine ai ʻo ia. Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, i ka wā e uwē ai kekahi ʻīlio iā ia a ʻike hou ʻo Benni i kona mau maka ma kahi ʻē. "No ka mea ʻaʻole ʻo ia i loaʻa ka ʻōlelo aʻo mai ka ʻīlio ʻē aʻe, akā makemake wau e pale i ka piʻi ʻana, makemake wau e mālama i kahi mamao palekana iaʻu iho." Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, mālama maikaʻi ʻo Schwers i kāna ʻīlio ma ke alanui, i ke kaʻa - "no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pilikia o kona hoʻokomo ʻana iā ia iho a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe iaʻu."
Manaʻo ʻo Schwers i kahi paʻa maikaʻi loa he mea nui ia e mālama pono ai ka ʻīlio iā ʻoe. "Inā ʻo ia ka hihia, ʻaʻohe mea hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke hana me ka ʻīlio kuli." ʻO Liane Rauch, ka mea nona ke kula ʻīlio Naseweis, ka mea loea i nā ʻīlio kīnā ʻole, hiki ke ʻae wale: "ʻO ke kumu maikaʻi loa no ke ola ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā me kahi ʻīlio kīnā he pilina hilinaʻi a pili pili."
ʻO kāna kāne ʻo Sheltie he 14 mau makahiki ʻaneʻane kuli. Me ia, ʻike ʻo ia i ka uku o ka hana paʻa mau. "Ma o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka lima lima a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka maka e pili ana i ka pahuhopu, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomau i ko mākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā e like me kā mākou maʻamau, ʻoiai he kuli," wahi a Rauch. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kēlā me kēia pae i ka hoʻopā ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka maka ma ka puke "Dog Training Without Words". Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonanea iā ʻoe iho me nā pāʻani pōkole ma ka hele wāwae ʻana i makemake ai ka hoa ʻehā wāwae e noho kokoke a no laila ʻaʻole pilikia ka freewheeling.
