Ce forum est destiné à une approche du chien basée sur l’observation du monde canin, sur l’écoute mutuelle, sur le respect de son monde...mais aussi sur l’investissement du maitre !

Pour l’éducation du chien, ce compagnon de vie, nous cherchons à lui faire comprendre ce que nous attendons de lui, sans leurres, ni jouets, ni friandises, sans moyens coercitifs (collier halti, à pointe, vary...etc) simplement grâce à notre gestuelle, avec nos mots, nos demandes, avec nos caresses, en prenant en compte nos émotions, ainsi que ce que montre le chien...en nous remettant en question aussi et en essayant de repérer nos incohérences !
Sur ce forum, vous ne trouverez pas de conseils pour le “assis-coucher-pas bouger”...vous ne trouverez pas de conseils pour bien travailler à la friandise (ou au clicker)...nous cherchons plutôt à comprendre son comportement pour mieux vivre en harmonie avec lui, dans la vie de tous les jours...pour une relation complice et un plaisir partagé !

Nous cherchons à vous faire prendre conscience de l’impact de votre gestuelle, de vos émotions,… sur votre compagnon.

Notre approche repose aussi sur la sociabilité du chien : interactions des chiens entre eux…

Painful tool: Shock collars like above can be activated by the pet's owner
Electric collars that shock wayward cats and dogs into submission have been banned for the first time in Britain.
Wales has become the first part of the UK to outlaw the use of collars, which deliver a shock of electricity to the animal's neck.
Some are activated by the owner, who simply pushes a button on a remote control when their pet misbehaves.
Owners who break the ban face a fine of up to £20,000 or six months in prison.
Pet welfare groups, including the RSPCA and the Kennel Club, say the £100-plus electronic devices cause unnecessary pain and suffering and want the ban extended across Britain.
But some experts say the technique can improve the behaviour of dogs that would otherwise be put down, train excitable pets to stop running into traffic and stop them from worrying sheep.
They fear that the ban will lead to shelters being inundated with unmanageable pets.
Around 500,000 electric collars are in use in the UK, including some 20,000 in Wales.
The RSPCA says there is no place for the collars modern Britain and that rather than using pain and punishment to train dogs, owners should use favour rewards such as treats and balls.
The charity's Sian Edwards said: 'There are far more effective ways of training dogs using reward-based methods.'

STEPHEN GLOVER: Is there now no area of our lives that the Nanny State won't poke its nose into?
The Kennel Club has long campaigned for remote-controlled electric collars to be outlawed and described the Welsh Assembly's decision as 'a historic day for animal welfare'.
Kennel Club Secretary Caroline Kisko said: 'Wales has proven it is truly leading the way and we hope the rest of the UK will follow by example to outlaw these cruel and unnecessary devices.'
THE SHOCKING LOWDOWN
Electric shock collars are hugely popular in America and animal welfare campaigners fear Britain will follow suit.
There are already some 500,000 in use in the UK, mainly on dogs, although they are sometimes used to train cats.
They cost between £100 and £200 are made of heavy-duty plastic.
They contain a battery-pack and two metal prongs that rest against the nape of the animal's neck.
Some are designed to stop a dog or cat straying out of a garden.
When the pet gets close to the boundary, the collar emits a warning sound. If the animal ignores it and tries to leave the garden, the collar gives off a shock.
The remote-controlled collars have a similar structure but the shock is detonated by the owner pressing a button on a walkie-talkie-like device.
They can choose how big or small a shock to give.
Manufacturers compare the current to that of a static shock. But animal charities say the technique is cruel and inhumane.
They say that dogs will be able to tell whether they have the collar on - and are capable of reserving their bad behaviour for other times.
They also fear that owners who use to collars prevent one type of bad behaviour will be tempted to keep using them to correct other problems, no matter how minor.
She said that use of the collars can backfire, leading to pets turning on their owners or strangers.
'If the shock is delivered by the owner, it can lead to a breakdown in the relationship between the dog and the owner, because the person the dog trusts is giving him an electric shock.
'The dog can misunderstand what has caused the shock and attack another dog or a person walking by.
'Those using a collar to stop their dog from escaping from their garden should build a fence.
'And there is a very simple way of stopping dogs from chasing sheep - keep them on a lead around sheep.'
Charles Wall, founder specialist dog training company A1K9, told the BBC: 'In the right hands they have probably been responsible for saving lots of dogs' lives - dogs that would otherwise have been shot, dogs that would have been run over from running out onto the main roads, dogs that are persistent fighters.
'There are many, many things that you can use this apparatus for.'
Duncan McNair, of the Electronic Collar Manufacturers' Association, warned that outlawing collars would lead to more unruly pets being given up or put down.
He said: 'It's a bad idea because more dogs will die, more dogs will have to be rehomed and more owners will have to be distressed at having to give up their pets.
'I wouldn't dream of suggesting that people disobey the law, everybody will be making their own decision about what they do.
'But what I do think is that if a large number of people stop using them, there will be an influx of dogs into dog shelters.'
The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs has commissioned research into the pros and cons of the collars.
