Kloklipp - fra traume til hyggelig

Kloklipp - fra traume til hyggelig treningsstund


Tekst: Åsa Jakobsson
Alle hunder har klør, og alle klør vokser og må trimmes på en eller annen måte. Mange hundeeiere har ikke problemer med å klippe klør, men har gode rutiner og en avslappet hund. Andre lar heller veterinæren gjøre jobben. Denne artikkelen er ikke skrevet for dere.
Om man derimot føler at kloklipp er like koselig som et besøk hos tannlegen, for både hund og eier, håper jeg at mine erfaringer kan være til hjelp.

Forebygg


Ved at man venner valpen tidlig til at man kan berøre labber og tær og at det fører til en godbit om man holder labben i ro, er mye gjort. Det er mye lettere å skape trivelige assosiasjoner til noe ukjent enn til noe som allerede har fått en utrivelig betydning. En god vane er å klippe EN klo hver gang før valpen skal få mat (forutsatt at den liker maten sin, ellers kan man bruke en kyllingbit eller lignende godsaker). Det går fort og greit. Er man konsekvent så lærer valpen fort at kloklipp fører til noe godt, og i og med at man trener en liten stund hver dag, er risikoen for stress og ubehag minimert for både valp og eier.

Pass på at du gjør kosestunden i sofaen til en treningsstund. Ved å trene potehåndtering når hunden allerede er rolig og avslappet får du en hund som faktisk BLIR avslappet av potehåndtering. Ikke dumt! Tenk på hvordan du løfter labben. Mange hunder synes at det er behageligere å bøye labben bakover enn å strekke den ut framover, og det blir dessuten lettere å se undersiden av kloa.

Se over redskapene dine. En bra klotang er tilstrekkelig stor og kvass for å enkelt klippe selv en kraftig klo. Det finnes en type tang som ser ut som en negleklipper for mennesker, noen hunder synes at denne mer behagelig. Er du redd for å klippe for langt, så kan du investere i en grov neglefil for å file den siste biten. Kloen er klipt passelig langt ned når du ser en hvit prikk i midten av klippoverflaten.

Om du skulle være så uheldig å klippe litt for langt, er det ikke verdens undergang. Belønn ekstra bra, vis hvor glad du ble (selv om blodet gjør deg svimmel), og IKKE TRØST! Å trøste hunden forsterker følelsen av ubehag.

Traume


For meg hadde kloklipping blitt noe jeg utsatte i det lengste. Dårlige erfaringer med å klippe for langt ned og dårlig trening hadde gjort begge hundene mine redde for klotanga, og det krevde to personer: en til å holde og en til å klippe. Hyling, stress og rykking i labber (fra hundenes side) var alltid en del av klippeseansen. Vi prøvde å være rolige, men bestemte og gjorde det så fort vi klarte. Lenge aksepterte jeg dette som normalt, noe som vi rett og slett skulle lide oss gjennom annenhver uke.

Så leste jeg en artikkel om hvordan man tar blodprøver på delfiner i Sea World. Delfinen hopper på signal opp på en ”hengekøye” over bassenget, ligger stille til man har stukket en nål og tatt blodprøven, og venter på klarsignal for å hoppe ned igjen. Utrolig! Da skulle det vel gå an å trene hundene mine til å like å klippe klør, eller i alle fall akseptere det uten protester!

Motbetinging


Det første jeg gjorde var å motbetinge klotanga. I stedet for å bety ”dags for ubehag”, ville jeg at den skulle være et signal for ”lekestund med fantastisk belønning på gang!”. Hundene mine elsker boksemat (klissete og illeluktene - de får det nesten aldri), så det ble superforsterkeren min. I løpet av noen dager byttet jeg ut det ene måltidet deres mot boksemat. Jeg tok klotangen i hånda, tok fram maten, la klotanga på gulvet og satte maten ved siden av. Ingen krav, bare klotang og mat.

Når man jobber med klassisk betinging skaper man en assosiasjon mellom to hendelser, i dette tilfellet ”klotang blir tatt fram” og ”fantastisk mat blir servert”. I mitt tilfelle hadde hundene mine allerede en assosiasjon (klotang = ubehag) som jeg ville endre på, derfor kalles det motbetinging.

Viktig å tenke på


1. Tren med en SKIKKELIG BRA forsterker. ”Følelsen” for forsterkeren sprer seg til hendelsen før. Synes hunden din ”jippi, boksemat” så blir det snart ”jippi, klotang, boksemat på vei!”. Om den synes ”jaha, frolic”, så blir det ikke mer enn ”jaha, klotang, frolic på vei - er det verdt bryet?”.

2. Timingen er meget viktig. FØRST klotang DERETTER mat. Om de presenteres samtidig skjer det ingen betinging. Presenteres de i omvendt rekkefølge får du omvendt betinging: ”Å nei, boksemat, snart kommer klotanga!”.

3. Konsekvens, konsekvens, konsekvens. I løpet av betingingen må klotangen ALLTID bety boksemat, og boksematen kommer aldri når klotangen ikke er til stede. Vi jobber ikke med adferd, vi jobber med å minimere hundens følelse av stress og ubehag og erstatte den med en følelse av forventning og glede.

Habituering: holde labben


Samtidig begynte jeg å gradvis venne hundene mine til å sitte rolig når jeg holdt i labbene og tærne deres. I begynnelsen syntes hundene at det beste var da jeg slapp labben, så det var min forsterker. Jeg ba om ”labb” (lært inn på forhånd), ga en godbit for at d

Kloklipp-from trauma to the Nice fitness whileText: Åsa Jakobsson All dogs have claws, and all claws growing and need to be trimmed on one way or another. Many dog owners don't have a problem with cutting claws, but have good routines and a laid back dog. Others let the vet do the job either. This article is not written for you. If you on the other hand feel that kloklipp is as cozy as a visit to the dentist, for both dog and owner, I hope that my experiences can be of help. PreventBy friends the puppy early to that one can touch the paws and toes and that it leads to a good bit if one keeps the paw at rest, is much done. It is much easier to create pleasant associations with some unknown than to something which has already been given a rough meaning. A good habit is to cut a claw each time before the puppy to get food (assuming that it likes his food, or one can use a chicken bit or similar goodies). It's that fast and easy. Are consistently so fast that the puppy learns kloklipp leads to something good, and in that to train a little while each day, the risk of stress and discomfort minimized for both puppy and owner. Make sure that you do enjoy moment on the couch to a fitness while. By exercising potehåndtering when the dog is already calm and relaxed, you get a dog that will actually be relaxed by potehåndtering. Not stupid! Think about how you lift the paw. Many dogs find that it is more comfortable to bend the foot backwards than to stretch it out to come, and it is also easier to see the bottom of the claw. Look over the tools. A good klotang is large enough to easily and kvass cut even a powerful claw. There is a type of seaweed that look like a nail Clipper for people, some dogs find that this more comfortable. Are you afraid to cut too far, so you can invest in a rough nail file to file the last bit. The claw is not mown often customizable far down when you see a white dot in the middle of the cut surface. Should you be unfortunate enough to cut a little too far, it is not end of the world. Reward extra good, show how happy you were (even if the blood makes you dizzy), and not CONSOLATION! To comfort the dog amp the feeling of discomfort. TraumaFor me had been something I claw clipping exposed in the longest. Bad experiences with to cut too far down and bad training had made both my dogs afraid of klotanga, and it required two people: one to keep and one to cut. The yelling, stress and pulling in the paws (from running through the snow page) was always a part of the klippeseansen. We tried to be calm, but determined and made it as fast as we could. Long as I accepted this as normal, something that we simply would suffer us through every other week. Then I read an article on how to take blood tests on dolphins in the Sea World. The dolphin jumps on the signal on a "hammock" of the pool, offers one has stuck a needle and taken blood sample, and is waiting for the go-ahead to jump down again. Amazing! When should it well to train my dogs to like to cut the claws, or at least accept it without protest! MotbetingingThe first thing I did was to motbetinge klotanga. Instead of to mean "day of discomfort", I would that it would be a signal for "play time with awesome reward on time!". My dogs love boksemat (sticky and bad smells-they get it almost never), so it was super amplifier. In the course of a few days I switched out one meal against their boksemat. I took the claw hand pliers, brought out the food, la klotanga on the floor and put the food next door. No requirements, just klotang and food. When working with classical conditioning an association between two events, in this case "klotang is being taken forward" and "great food is served". In my case my dogs had already an Association (klotang = discomfort) that I would change on, therefore it is called motbetinging. Important to think about1. Work out with a REALLY GOOD amp. "Feeling" for the amplifier is spreading to the event before. Think your dog "yipping, boksemat" so there will be soon "mush klotang, boksemat on the way!". If it seems "Okay," then the frolic, there is no more than "well, klotang, frolic on the way-is it worth the trouble?". 2. Timing is very important. FIRST klotang THEN food. If they are presented at the same time happens there's no conditioning. They are presented in reverse order, you get reverse conditioning: "Oh no, boksemat, soon to come klotanga!". 3. Consistency, consistency, consistency. In the course of the betingingen have to claw the seaweed always mean boksemat, and box the food never comes when the claw the seaweed is not present. We do not work with the behavior, we are working to minimize the dog's sense of stress and discomfort and replace it with a sense of anticipation and joy. Habituation: keeping the pawAt the same time I began to gradually wean my dogs to sit quietly when I held in your hands and toes. In the beginning it seemed that the best dogs was when I dropped the paw, so it was my amplifier. I asked about the "paw" (learned into in advance), gave a good bit for that d

Kloklipp - from trauma to nice workout while Text: Asa Jakobsson All dogs have claws, and all claws growing and must be trimmed in any way.

About the other hand, feel that kloklipp is as cozy as a visit to the dentist, for both dog and owner, I hope that my experiences can be of help. Prevent In that friends puppy early that one can touch paws and toes and that it leads to a treat if you hold the paw still, much is done. It is much easier to create pleasant associations with something unknown than to something that already has an uncanny sense. A good habit is to cut A claw before every puppy will get food (assuming it likes its food, otherwise you can use a piece of chicken or similar goodies). It goes quickly and smoothly. Are you consistently so teach your puppy fast that kloklipp lead to anything good, and in that you exercise a little while each day, the risk of stress and discomfort minimized for both puppy and owner.

Think about how you lift his paw. Many dogs find it more comfortable to bend the paw backward than stretching out ahead, and it will also be easier to see the underside of the claw. Look over your implements. A good klotänger is sufficiently large and sharp to easily cut even a powerful claw. There is a type of seaweed that looks like a nail clipper to humans, some dogs find this more comfortable.

Bad experience with cutting too far down and poor training had made ​​both my dogs afraid klotänger and it required two people: one to keep and one to cut. Screaming, stress and jerking in paws (from dogs' side) was always part of the cutting session. We tried to remain calm but firm and made ​​it as fast as we could. Long I accepted this as normal, which we simply would suffer us through every two weeks. Then I read an article on how to take blood tests on dolphins in Sea World. Dolphin jump on signal recorded on a "hammock" of the pool, in a quiet location one has stuck a needle and taken blood samples and waiting for the green light to jump down again. Incredible!

Instead of meaning "day of discomfort," I would that it should be a signal for "playtime with fantastic rewards on time!". My dogs love canned (sticky and bad smells - they get it almost never), so it was super my amplifier. In a few days I replace one meal their courage canned. I took klotänger in hand, took out the food, let klotänger on the floor and put food next. No requirements, just klotänger and food.

"Feeling" for amplifier spreads to the event before. Seems dog "yay, canned" as it soon becomes "yay, klotänger, canned on the way!". If it seems "jaha, frolic," so there will be no more than "jaha, klotänger, frolic on the way - is it worth the trouble?". 2. The timing is very important. FIRST klotänger THEN food. If they are presented simultaneously, there is no conditioning. Presented they reverse you reverse conditioning, "Oh, canned, soon klotänger!". 3. Consistency, consistency, consistency. During conditioning must klotänger ALWAYS mean canned and box food never comes when klotänger not present. We do not work with behavior, we work to minimize the dog's sense of distress and replace it with a sense of anticipation and joy.
