Ukuba uqalisa uhambo lwenja, kuya kufuneka ulungiselele kakuhle ukuba injana ingene kuyo, sebenzisa ngokugqibeleleyo okokuqala kunye, kwaye ubeke iziseko zemfundo.
Ifama yeAlpine i-Hinterarni BE, ngentsasa yangeCawa enelanga. UJack Russell Terrier oneenyanga ezintandathu ubudala uleqa ngochulumanco emva kwebhola ephoswa yinkosi yakhe ethafeni. Ngamaxesha ngamaxesha inja iphazamisa umdlalo ukuze ibulise abakhweli abafikayo ngokukhonkotha okukhulu. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba bavuyise.
Imeko u-Erika Howald, umfama onomdla kunye nomqeqeshi wezinja ixesha elide e-Rüti kufuphi ne-Büren BE, uyazi kumava akhe kwaye udibana ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwisikolo sakhe sezinja. Ngelishwa, izinja ezininzi kakhulu azikamkeleki ekuhlaleni, azithobeli 'akukho kungcola' kwaye azikwazi ukugcina iimvakalelo zazo zokuzingela kunye nemincili phantsi kolawulo." Amagama acacileyo awakhethwa nguHowald ngenyameko. Ugxininisa esithi: “Nabani na osilelayo ukubonisa inja yakhe imida yakhe kwangethuba akafanele othuke xa umhlobo wakhe onemilenze emine eba yingxaki ebudeni bokufikisa.”
Abantu Bayazenzela Izigqibo
Kakhulu kumzekelo ombi. Kodwa ndiqinisekisa njani ukuba andiyinyusi injana yam ukuba ibe yinto ecaphukisayo yokudlala okanye i-control freak? “Le nkqubo iqala xa injana ifudukela kwikhaya layo elitsha,” utsho uHowald. Ukususela ngomhla wokuqala kufuneka ubeke imida yakhe kwaye umnike indawo yakhe kwintsapho. Kuba: "Ukuba ubonakala ungafanelekanga kwinja encinci njengenkokeli, iya kuzenzela izigqibo." Kodwa yinja kuphela ekwaziyo ukubambelela kwimithetho eziva ikhuselekile, ucacisa ngelitshoyo umqeqeshi wezinja aze anikele eli cebiso: “Ngoko yenzela injana yakho izigqibo. Nguwe ogqibayo ukuba uza kutya, adlale aze alale nini, phi, kwaye njani. Kwaye uthatha isigqibo sokuba uza kumnika nini ukumbamba. Qala yonke imidlalo kwaye uyigqibe nayo. Ngamanye amaxesha injana iyaphumelela, ngamanye amaxesha nawe.”
Ezinye iimbombo ezibalulekileyo kwiiveki ezimbalwa zokuqala - ngaphezu kokutya kunye nokulala okuninzi: ukulungiswa rhoqo, ukusondela, kunye nokuthembela. UHowald uthi: “Kukwabalulekile ukuba ufumane ihlabathi langaphandle nenjana kwangethuba. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa zokuqala, omncinci usenokwaneleyo ukwenza kunye namavumba kunye nemibono yekhaya elitsha, abantu abatsha kunye nokusingqongileyo. Kodwa ukususela kusuku lwesine, akufanelekanga ukubaleka emva komnini wakhe endlwini.
Ngokukhula kobudala kunye nokwandiswa kwe-rayon, ukudibana okutsha kwenzeka: ukusuka kwiibhayisikile ukuya kwi-joggers ukuya kwiibhasi, ukusuka kwiibrooks ukuya emahlathini ukuya kumachibi amadada. Ukudibana neenkomo, amahashe kunye nezinye izinja nako kubalulekile, utshilo uHowald. Uyahlula ukuba inja ikhululekile okanye ikwi-leash. “Xa ekhululekile kufuneka azigqibele ngokwakhe ukuba uyafuna na ukudlala nomntu wohlobo lwakhe. Ukuba ukwintambo, ndithatha isigqibo sokuba kuqhubeka ntoni.”
Yonke into kufuneka iQhutywe
Kubaluleke kakhulu kwesi sigaba ukuba injana nayo ifunde ukuhlala yodwa. Kufuneka uqale uqeqesho ngosuku lwesibini, ucebisa uHowald. “Phuma kwindawo yombono wentshontsho okomzuzwana, mhlawumbi ungene kwigumbi elilandelayo. Ngaphambi kokuba aqonde ukungabikho kwakho aze akugwebe kakubi, buya.” Oku kunyuswa ngokuthe ngcembe de ube ungalishiya igumbi ngaxa lithile. Kubalulekile: Okukhona wenza ingxabano encinci malunga nokuza nokuhamba kwakhe, ngakumbi ngokwemvelo injana iya kuyibona imeko. Ngoko musa ukubamba umsitho wokwamkela. Ukuba umntwana uyakhala: linda umzuzwana uphumle. Kuphela ke uya kubuya acinge ukuba ukubhomboloza kumbuyise umgcini.
"Kwaye ngako konke oku, umntu makangaze alibale ukuba yonke imisebenzi kufuneka iqhutywe yinjana," utsho umqeqeshi wezinja. Ngoko ke, kungcono ukwenza into encinci yonke imihla kunokudibanisa inkqubo enkulu yempelaveki kwaye woyise injana ngayo.
