Ngemidlwane, isabhekwa njengento enhle, enezinja ezinkulu kuphela njengokucasulayo: ukugxuma noma ukugxuma. Kulula ukugwema.
Ukugxumela izinja akuthandeki emphakathini wethu. Kungaba yingoba ungafuni ukubeka engozini ibhulukwe elingcolile noma ngoba ukugxuma kumane kubhekwe njengokucasulayo. Kodwa umuntu uye wavusa futhi waqinisekisa lokhu kuziphatha kwenja. Ukunakwa okuzuziwe - kuphela ngokusabela komuntu - kumelela impumelelo, ikakhulukazi enjaneni encane. Ngakho-ke ukugxumela phezulu okuzijwayezayo kuba indlela yokuphila yokuzizuzisa yakudala. Kuze kube yilapho umuntu obhekene nayo efuna ukuyicisha futhi.
Isikole sezinja zesigameko sobugebengu. Umnikazi wezinja u-Urs Frei* uyaxolisa ekuqaleni kwehora lokuqala kusengaphambili ngenja yakhe, efuna nje ukugxuma nawo wonke umuntu. Umqeqeshi wezinja ujwayelene nomsebenzi wokuziphatha. Uyala abanye abahlanganyeli abathathu ukuthi bayizibe inja futhi bame ngokukhululeka. Bese etshela u-Urs Frei ukuthi afihle isithombe sokugxuma futhi akhiphe inja yakhe emotweni. Unozinti wenza njengoba kushiwo. Inja yakhe izithintitha iqonde emotweni ihambe idonse intambo iye kumuntu oyedwa, bese iye komunye, ihogele umlenze webhulukwe, iqhubeke. Akukhulunywa ngokugxuma.
I-Canine Communication
Kungani? Inja ifuna ukuhlola omunye umuntu ngekhala layo, kuphela lokho, akukho okunye - kodwa ngokuvamile umuntu akanamatheli kuyo futhi usabela ekuthinteni okufushane. Umgomo kufanele kube wukuthi inja iziphathe kahle iyodwa futhi ingagxumi ngaphandle kokuthi ilungiswe noma itshelwe ukuthi “ihlale” isikhathi ngasinye. Wonke umnikazi wezinja angenza kahle ukuqinisekisa ukuthi akakwenzi lokhu nomdlwane. Lokhu kumsindisa enkingeni engadingekile, ukubukeka okuthukuthele, amazwi ahlabayo, noma isikweletu sokuhlanza izingubo.
Umdlwane uzobingelela umama ngokugxuma ezindebeni zakhe mhlawumbe nokuhosha okuthile okudliwayo ekubambeni kwakhe. Ukuthinta udebe ngekhala, ukuhogela, noma ukukhotha kafushane, lokho kungukukhulumisana kwe-canine - nezinja ezithanda omunye nomunye, ukubonakaliswa kokuzwelana. Umdlwane uphinde ufune ukuxhumana ezingeni lamehlo nabantu uma lo wakamuva unaka, ugoba futhi ushaya, ukhuthaza ukuthintana kwamehlo, ukuthinta noma amazwi, futhi uvusa ilukuluku.
Kuye ngezinga lenjabulo kanye nokulindela, ukugxuma kuba ngokomzimba. Khona-ke akukhona mayelana nokubingelela, kodwa mayelana nenjabulo. Ukweqa noma ukweqa phezulu, uma kudingekile ngezinsimbi, kusiza ukunciphisa ukucindezeleka futhi kubizwa ngokuthi isenzo sokweqa uma inja ingakwazi ukubhekana nesimo. Isibonelo, uma umnikazi ehlangana nabangane ohambeni futhi ame.
Ukuvimbela Esikhundleni Sesijeziso
I-trigger ingaba umuntu ongakwazi ukwenza izinqumo, ocindezelekile ongakwazi ukuhlolwa futhi aziphathe ngokuphambene nalokho okulindelwe yinja. Ngakho-ke lapho ugxuma, akukhona ukubusa noma ukuziphatha okuzithobayo kulowo okuthiwa uphakeme, futhi akukhona ukudelela, njengoba kubizwa ngokuthi “Izinja” zesikole sezinja sikaMartin Rütter.
Ukulungisa abantu ngokujezisa kuvame ukubhebhethekisa isimo. Inja ayiwuqondi unswinyo ngoba ayikwazi ukuyibeka esimweni sesenzo sayo, okuvela esidingweni sayo. Izindlela eziphikisayo ezifana nokuphakamisa amadolo, ukunyathela izidladla, ukuphakamisa intambo, noma ezinye izinhlobo zodlame zingabeluleki abampofu. Zingadala ulaka, ziholele ekuxhumekeni okungamanga futhi ekugcineni zilimaze ubudlelwano bokuthembana phakathi kwenja nomuntu.
Ukufunda ukungagxumi empeleni kulula. Okokuqala, umuntu kufanele aqaphele izimo nezimo lapho inja igxuma khona. Uyini umphumela, umbuzo. Ukuvimbela ke kuyisinyathelo esibaluleke kakhulu. Abantu kufanele basibone isimo kusenesikhathi, babheke indlela inja eyenza ngayo izinto futhi bangayivumeli nhlobo ukuthi igxume.
Ibanga kanye nokuvumelana
Umnikazi kufanele aqhelelene nomthombo wesisusa, noma asigweme noma asibambezele ngesikhathi esifanele, kuye ngezinga lenja yokujabula. Intambo ikhona ukuze ivikeleke. Yile ndlela osekela ngayo inja futhi ubeke umkhawulo - ngaphandle kwe-jolt. Iphuzu liwukuthi inja ayiwenzi amaphutha futhi ayiweli ekuziphatheni okungafuneki. Lokhu kwenzeka endaweni ephephile ekuqaleni.
Uma lokhu kuphumelela, izwi lokudumisa elikhulunywe ngokuzolile livame ukwanele, elingasetshenziswa ukuchaza "ukuhlala phansi", mhlawumbe kuhlanganiswe nomvuzo wokudla. Inja ifunda ukuziphatha okufisayo ngendlela elula. Kukhona futhi izindlela ezinhle lapho inja inikezwa enye indlela yokuziphatha. Uma egcina zonke izidladla ezine phansi, kunomvuzo ngesikhathi esifanele ohlotshaniswa negama.
Uphinda lezi zimo zokuqeqesha isikhathi esithile futhi uqinisekise ukuthi inja akusadingeki ibonise ukuziphatha okungafunwa. Ngemva kwalokho, ibanga ukuya entweni ye-jump-to liyancipha ngezinyathelo ezincane. Kudingeka isineke nokuphatha okungaguquki ukuze kuqedwe umkhuba wokugxumela phezulu.
Kubalulekile ukuthi abantu okujwayezwa kubo lesi simo noma abaseduze nenja bafundiswe kahle. Kufanele ungayinaki inja, ungayinaki futhi uma ifuna ukugxuma, yakha ibanga, fulathela futhi usonge izingalo.
Isandla Siphenduka Ikhanda Lenja
Uma ufuna ukuvumela ukuthintana nenja phakathi kwabangane, yenza kanjalo ngendlela ezolile, isibonelo ngokunikela kancane kancane ngemuva kwesandla sakho ngenkathi uqoshama futhi ngaleyo ndlela usezingeni lamehlo. U-Dorit Feddersen-Peterson, umcwaningi wokuziphatha kanye nombhali wezincwadi onguchwepheshe, ukhuluma ngemikhonzo enesivunguvungu yezimpawu zothando. Esikhundleni sokuvinjelwa, weluleka ukuvumela isandla somuntu siye ekhanda futhi siphulule umdlwane, ngokuthula hhayi phezu kwekhanda. Lokho kuholela ekuthambekeni kwe-muzzle.
Wonke umnikazi kufanele azinqumele ukuthi inja yakhe kufanele imbingelela ngentshiseko kangakanani. Uma ungayifuni, ungayinaki inja nokujabula kwayo, jikisa futhi unake kuphela lapho izidladla zayo ezine ziphansi. Kuyafaneleka ukudala uhlobo lwendawo evinjelwe endaweni yokungena, isibonelo ngomnyango ovimbelayo. Uma kufika izivakashi, inja encane iyavinjwa noma iyiswe kwelinye igumbi. Uvunyelwa ukuthi aphinde ahlangane nabantu lapho bonke sebehlezi etafuleni nesasasa seliphelile.
Noma ubani owakha amasiko anjalo okubingelela uyavumelana futhi akavumeli inja ukuba ifunde into engalungile, ngeke kudingeke ibhekane nesihloko sokugxuma noma phezulu isikhathi eside.
