Uma uqala uhambo lwenja, kufanele ulungiselele kahle ukuze umdlwane ungene kuwo, nisebenzise ngokugcwele isikhathi sokuqala nindawonye, futhi nenze izisekelo zemfundo.
Ipulazi lase-Alpine i-Hinterarni BE, ngeSonto ekuseni libalele. Ingane enezinyanga eziyisithupha uJack Russell Terrier ijaha ibhola elijikijelwa umniniyo ethafeni. Ngezikhathi ezithile inja iphazamisa umdlalo ukuze ibingelele abaqwali abafikayo ngokukhonkotha okukhulu. Akunjalo ngempela ukuze bajabule.
Isimo u-Erika Howald, umlimi onentshiseko nomqeqeshi wezinja osenesikhathi eside e-Rüti eduze kwase-Büren BE, asazi kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe futhi uhlangana kaningi esikoleni sakhe sezinja. Ngeshwa, izinja eziningi kakhulu azikamukeleki emphakathini, azilaleli 'ukungcola' futhi azikwazi ukulawula imizwa yazo yokuzingela kanye nesasasa.” Amagama acacile u-Howald awakhethe ngokucophelela. Uyagcizelela: “Noma ubani ohlulekayo ukubonisa inja yakhe imingcele yayo ngesikhathi esifanele akufanele amangale uma umngane onemilenze emine eba inkinga phakathi nokuthomba.”
Abantu Bathatha Izinqumo
Kakhulu ngesibonelo esibi. Kodwa ngenza kanjani isiqiniseko sokuthi angiwukhulisi umdlwane wami ukuze ube isidlakela sokudlala esicasulayo noma into engavamile yokulawula? “Le nqubo iqala lapho umdlwane usuthuthela ekhaya lawo elisha,” kusho uHowald. Kusukela ngosuku lokuqala kufanele ubeke imingcele yakhe futhi umnike indawo yakhe emndenini. Ngoba: “Uma ubonakala ungafaneleki enjaneni njengomholi, iyozenzela ezayo izinqumo.” Kodwa inja kuphela ekwazi ukunamathela emithethweni ezizwa ilondekile, kuchaza umqeqeshi wezinja futhi uyeluleka: “Ngakho yenzela umdlwane wakho izinqumo. Nguwe onqumayo ukuthi uzodla, adlale futhi alale nini, kuphi, futhi kanjani. Futhi unquma ukuthi uzomgona nini. Qala yonke imidlalo futhi uyiqede futhi. Kwesinye isikhathi umdlwane uyawina, kwesinye isikhathi nawe."
Amanye amatshe ayisisekelo abalulekile emasontweni ambalwa okuqala - ngaphezu kokudla nokulala okuningi: ukuzilungisa okuvamile, ukusondelana, nokwethembana. “Kubalulekile futhi ukuthi uthole izwe langaphandle nomdlwane ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka,” kusho uHowald. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa zokuqala, omncane usenokwanele ukwenza ngephunga nokuvela kwekhaya elisha, abantu abasha, nendawo ezungezile. Kodwa kusukela osukwini lwesine, akufanele aqhubeke egijima elandela umnikazi wakhe endlini.
Ngokukhula kweminyaka kanye nokwanda kwe-rayon, ukuhlangana okusha kwenzeka: kusuka emabhayisikili kuya kwabagijimi kuya emabhasini, kusukela ezimfuleni kuya emahlathini kuya emachibini amadada. Ukuhlangana nezinkomo, amahhashi, nezinye izinja nakho kubalulekile, kusho uHowald. Uhlukanisa ukuthi inja ikhululekile noma iboshiwe. “Uma esekhululekile kufanele azinqumele ukuthi uyafuna yini ukudlala nomuntu wohlobo lwakhe. Uma ebambe izintambo ngiyanquma ukuthi kwenzakalani.”
Konke Kufanele Kucutshungulwe
Kubaluleke kakhulu kulesi sigaba ukuthi umdlwane nawo ufunde ukuhlala wodwa. Kufanele uqale ukuqeqeshwa ngosuku lwesibili, kweluleka u-Howald. «Phuma endaweni yombono womdlwane isikhashana, mhlawumbe ungene ekamelweni elilandelayo. Ngaphambi kokuba abone ukuthi awukho futhi ahlulele kabi, buya.” Lokhu kukhuphuka kancane kancane uze ukwazi ukuphuma efulethini ngesikhathi esithile. Okubalulekile: Uma wenza ingxabano encane mayelana nokuza nokuhamba kwakhe, ngokwemvelo umdlwane uzosibona isimo. Ngakho-ke ungabambi umcimbi wokwamukela. Uma omncane ekhala: linda isikhashana ukuze uphumule. Ngemva kwalokho uyabuya, kungenjalo uzocabanga ukuthi ukuhhewula kubuyise unozinti.
"Futhi ngakho konke lokhu, umuntu akufanele akhohlwe ukuthi yonke imisebenzi kufanele icutshungulwe ngumdlwane," kusho umqeqeshi wezinja. Ngakho-ke, kungcono ukwenza into encane nsuku zonke kunokuhlanganisa uhlelo olukhulu lwangempelasonto bese ucindezela umdlwane ngalo.
