3. Scientific responses to hot topics
According to a popular popular science post by animal behaviorist @梦pawdoc, you need to pay attention to the correct handling of dog aggression:
1.Never fight violence with violence: Hitting and scolding will aggravate the dog’s defensive reaction. 63% of secondary attacks are caused by wrong punishment.
2.Identify trigger signals: Micro-expressions such as ears stuck behind, tail stiff, body leaning forward, etc. appear 0.5-2 seconds earlier.
3.Environmental management is a priority: Puppies should be exposed to at least 12 different scenarios during their puppyhood. Dogs with insufficient socialization are 3 times more likely to attack.
4. Emergency treatment procedures (recommendations from medical institutions)
| Wound type | Emergency treatment | Indications for medical treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged epidermis | Rinse with soapy water for 15 minutes | Redness, swelling and fever |
| penetrating injury | Compression to stop bleeding | Depth exceeds 1cm |
| facial wounds | Apply ice to reduce swelling | Seek medical attention in any case |
5. Long-term behavior modification plan
1.desensitization training: Start contacting the trigger source from 3 meters away, and shorten the distance by 0.5 meters every day
2.positive reinforcement: Give snack rewards when you are in a calm state to establish new conditioned reflexes
3.professional intervention: If aggressive behavior lasts for more than 2 weeks, please consult a certified dog trainer (CKU/AKC certified)
The recent popular Douyin #DogBehaviorModificationChallenge shows that 85% of participants improved their food-protecting behavior within 2 weeks through 15 minutes of daily training. However, experts remind that individual severe cases require behavioral drugs, which must be used under the guidance of a veterinarian.
Warm reminder:According to the latest revision of the "Animal Epidemic Prevention Law", if a dog injures someone, the owner must bear the medical expenses and vaccine expenses. It is recommended to purchase third-party liability insurance for the dog.
