English Bulldog Behavior Problems
The most common forms to misbehave of bulldogs, as begging, digging or chewing are already been analysed in an another chapter of the web-site.
Now I purpose to describe other types of diffused canine misbehavior:
Separation Anxiety Disorders in English bulldogs
Genetics is a branch of the biological knowledge that studies the procedures, the causes, the chemical and morphological elements
of the transmission of the hereditary characters, normals or mutants, of living creatures.
Leaving aside the matter of genetics at the moment, one thing doesn't rule out the other, in this article I purpose to examine the signs and signals of separation trauma related to the loss of the primary caregiver in English bulldogs.
English bulldogs pupies live a quiete life with their litter and their caregiver,
but they have to experiment the first separation trauma, when they are sold to the novice owner. English bulldog feels more
secure inside his bulldog family, hiding himself into his herd.
The breeder and the novice handler have to learn news, facts and up-to-date information about
how to guide the separation process. The buldog pupies experience a great anxiety when separated from their mother.
The breeder and the handler have to reassure the buldog puppy, gazing at him with affection, without causing separation anxiety diseases and monitoring every behavioral modification of
the puppy, who is passing through these two crucial developmental stages of the growth, characterized by the definitive loss of the
primary caregiver. They have to monitor any kind of event, message, information, utterance or expression that affects the state of the dynamic system,
psychological signs and behavioral signals, if the english buldog pupy become too nervous when the
novice owner moves away. It is crucial an early diagnosis, analysing quickly the symptoms causing distress.
It's hard the training or the crate-training of the anxious older english bulldog when this misbehavior becomes chronic
and repeated for the umpteenth time.
The mother has a natural aptitude for teaching, while the novice owner has to learn signs and signals to understand the puppy needs.
If the english buldog pupy shows separation anxiety the owner has to remain with him, as time goes by, gradually, increasing the period
in which he moves away, relating this lapse of time with the response reactions of the english buldog pupy. Whiping
the puppy into a frenzy to be on his best behavior.
It is useful to leave toys to chew. With english buldog pupies I use to leave music or television on when I go for a walk.
The english buldog pupy has to learn that I surely return and that to remain alone for a short lapse of time do not represent
a punishment.
We may consider the Separation Anxiety of English bulldogs pupies or adult bulldog, when left alone, as a subtle issue, a general element of Danger
and a manifestation of the feelings caused by an affective loss.
The aptitude of the breeder or novice handler to cause a traumatic separation from the family of origin should fix the
bases to develop the pathogenesis of separation anxiety all the times in which the novice handler desappears for a while or,
even, relating to the separation from the house or other family members.
While separation anxiety is a genetic characteristic among English bulldogs pupies, may be considered as a
psychological situation of discomfort in adult bulldogs.
One of the reason of this recent psychological problems of canis lupus familiaris are the modern lifestyles of human situated
far from a natural context.
Genetic technologies represent the future development of medicine and appear to be the right way also to prevent behavior problems.
Bulldog: Genetic Technologies vs Behavior Problems
Genetists are thrilled about the results. There are statements by genetists and great expectations over abiding genetic technologies
concerning also the individualization of the first step to solve and prevent, with in limits, fatal dog attacks and a collection of
behaviors by domestic, feral or feisty dogs. Genetic Technologies related to Behavior Problems will help the breeders about behavioral issues,
debaring the wrong mate in the course of the reproduction, while at the moment we can't rule out that there may be an element of doubt.
To learn all about the most common dog behavior disorders, the genetists monitored the genome sequence of canis lupus familiaris
with modern genetic technologies to improve the knowledge
of health and temperament in dogs and to identify the genetic predispositions related to health and temperamental features.
The genetists discovered the genetic markers useful to identify around four hundred disorders, that may, also, not been expressed in the course of the dog life.
With the genetic research it is possible to manage the breeding of english bulldogs testing the presence of genetic markers,
indicating the subsistence of health disorders, disturbs or tendencies of the personality before to use the stallion
for reproductive purposes. The genetic technologies may be useful to find out how to stop and prevent
aggressive behavior or other behavior problems in english bulldogs within limits, to clear early neutering concerns, to neuter animals with severe genetic disorders.
With Genetic Technologies, the bulldog breeders do not need to look for the type of training or obedience exercises to resolve the doubt about misbehavioral aptitudes.
With the strict contact between canis lupus familiaris and the population, this genetic indication may be helpful also for
animal right organizations or animal shelters or to prevent dog or bulldog attacks, and other types of misbehavior, influenced
by genetic factors and related to genetic anomalies. At the moment there are few researches pointing out
the number of human fatalities provoked in the united states of america by unhealty animals.
Dog may be the best friend of humans, but even may be their killer, the dog bite researches indicate a number of bites exceeding $1 billion per year.
