Nakuba imidlwane iyizinto ezincane eziyigugu, abanikazi bezinja bayazi ukuthi ukukhonkotha nokuqabula okuhle emini kungashintsha kube ukuklewula nokuhhewula ebusuku – futhi akukhona lokho kanye okukhuthaza ukulala kahle.Pho ungenzani?Ukulala nomngane wakho onoboya kuyinketho lapho ekhula, kodwa uma ungafuni umbhede wakho ungabi noboya (futhi ungafuni ukusebenzisa lowo mbhede omuhle we-puppy owukhokhele), bese uqeqesha i-crate.Lokhu ukukhetha okungcono kakhulu!U-POPSUGAR ukhulume nodokotela bezilwane abaningana ukuze bathole izeluleko zochwepheshe mayelana nezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokuqeqesha ezisebenza kahle, ezisebenza kahle futhi ezifundeka kalula (zakho kanye nomdlwane wakho).
Noma ngabe muhle kangakanani umdlwane wakho, akekho othanda ukulungisa izingozi phakathi nobusuku.Uma udinga ukushiya inja yakho ingagadiwe, ukuqeqeshwa kwekheji kuyinikeza indawo ephephile.Lokhu kubavimbela ekungeneni kunoma iyiphi ingozi engaba khona (njengokuhlafuna okuthile okuyingozi) lapho bebodwa.Ngaphezu kwalokho, uDkt. Richardson uthi, “Isilwane sakho esifuywayo sithanda ukuba nendawo enethezekile, ethulile, nephephile esaziyo ukuthi ngeyaso, futhi uma sizizwa sikhathazekile, sicindezelekile, noma sikhathele nje, singahlala lapha!vimbela ukukhathazeka ngokuhlukana lapho bebodwa.”
Ngokuka-Maureen Murity (DVM), udokotela wezilwane onelayisensi kanye nomkhulumeli wensiza yezilwane ezifuywayo eku-inthanethi i-SpiritDogTraining.com, enye inzuzo ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa kwehhashi kungasiza ekuqeqesheni ekhaya.“Njengoba izinja zingakuthandi ukungcola ezindaweni zazo zokulala, kuwumqondo omuhle ukuthi ziqale ukuziqeqeshela amakheji ngaphambi kokuthi ziqeqesheke ngokugcwele ngamabhodwe.”
Okokuqala, khetha ikhreyithi elifanele lomdlwane wakho, uDkt. Richardson athi kufanele “likhululeke kodwa lingabi ne-claustrophobic.”Uma likhulu kakhulu, bangase bafune ukwenza ibhizinisi labo ngaphakathi, kodwa futhi kudingeka uqiniseke ukuthi inkulu ngokwanele ukuba inja yakho ivuke futhi iphenduke lapho umnyango uvala.
Ukusuka lapho, beka ikhreyithi endaweni ethulile ekhaya lakho, njengendawo engasetshenzisiwe noma igumbi lokulala eliyisipele.Bese wethula inja ekhrethini ngomyalo ofanayo (njengokuthi “umbhede” noma “ibhokisi”) isikhathi ngasinye.UDkt. Richardson uthi: “Kwenze ngemva kokujima noma umdlalo, hhayi lapho begcwele amandla.
Nakuba umdlwane wakho ungase ungawuthandi ekuqaleni, uzosheshe ujwayele ikhreyithi.U-Heather Venkat, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, VIP Puppy Companion Veterinarian, uncoma ukuqala ukuqeqeshwa kwekheji kusenesikhathi.“Okokuqala, vula umnyango wekheji bese uphonsa ubumnandi noma izingcezu ezimbalwa zokudla komdlwane,” kusho uDkt. Venkait.“Uma bengena noma bebheka, bancome kakhulu bese ubapha kamnandi uma sebengenile.Bese ubakhulula ngokushesha.ukudla okulula noma okumnandi.”Kufake emgqonyeni wokudla owomile bese ukulahla ngokushesha.Ekugcineni, uzokwazi ukuwagcina emgqonyeni isikhathi eside ngaphandle kokuwacasula.”
Zizwe ukhululekile ukunikeza umdlwane wakho izibiliboco, lokho uDkt. Venkait akubiza ngokuthi “i-sine qua non of crate training.”Uyanezela: “Umgomo uwonke uwukuba umdlwane noma inja yakho ilithande ngempela ikhreyithi layo futhi ilihlobanise nokuthile okuhle.Ngakho lapho zisekhejini, zinike izibiliboco noma ukudla.Bakhuthaze, kuzoba lula kakhulu.uma uwadinga.”“
Ukwenza kube lula ukukhreyitha umdlwane wakho, odokotela bezilwane esikhulume nabo bavumelana ngokuthi kufanele ukhulise kancane kancane isikhathi umdlwane wakho uvalelwe wodwa.
“Ekhejini eliseduze nombhede wakho ukuze umdlwane ukwazi ukukubona.Kwezinye izimo, kungase kudingeke ukuthi ubeke ikheji okwesikhashana embhedeni.Imidlwane emincane idinga ukuyiswa embizeni ebusuku, kodwa kancane kancane iqala ukulala.ubusuku bonke.Imidlwane emidala nezinja ezindala zingavalelwa amahora afinyelela kwayisishiyagalombili.”
UDkt. Muriti uncoma ukuthi abazali bezilwane ezifuywayo bahlale eduze kwekheji cishe imizuzu emi-5-10 ngaphambi kokuphuma ekamelweni.Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, khulisa isikhathi osichitha kude nekheji ukuze inja yakho ijwayele ukuba yedwa.“Lapho inja yakho isikwazi ukuthula ekhreyithi ngaphandle kokuyibona imizuzu engaba ngu-30, ungakwazi kancane kancane ukwandisa isikhathi osichitha kukhreyithi,” kusho uDkt. Merrity."Ukungaguquguquki nokubekezela yizihluthulelo zokufunda ngempumelelo kwe-cage."
Ngenxa yokuthi imidlwane eminingi idinga ukuya endlini yangasese njalo ngemva kwamahora ambalwa ebusuku, kufanele uyikhiphe ngo-11 ebusuku ngaphambi kokulala futhi uyivumele ikuqondise lapho idinga ukuya endlini yangasese, kusho uDkt. Richardson.“Zivuka zodwa futhi maningi amathuba okuthi zincwine noma zibange umsindo uma sezifuna ukuhamba,” kuchaza yena.Kusukela manje kuqhubeke, ungawagcina ekhejini isikhathi eside njengoba eqala ukulawula isinye ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.Khumbula ukuthi uma bekhala futhi befuna ukuphuma ekhejini izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa njalo emahoreni ambalwa, bangase bafune ukudlala.Kulokhu, uDkt. Richardson utusa ukunganaki ukuziphatha okubi kwamabhokisi ukuze kungawakhuthazi.
Okokuqala, umdlwane wakho wagibela ekhejini ngaphandle kokukuthonya, kusho uDkt. Merrity.Futhi, ngokukaDkt. Venkat, uzokwazi ukuthi umdlwane wakho uyasebenza lapho uhlezi uzolile ekhejini, ungabubuli, unganwayi noma uzama ukubaleka, nalapho ungenayo izingozi ekhejini.
UDkt. Richardson uyavuma, uyenezela: “Bavame ukuzigoqa futhi badle okuthile, badlale ngethoyizi, noma bavele balale.Uma bekhala isikhashana bese beyeka, nabo balungile.ubone ukuthi uyabakhipha yini!Uma inja yakho ibekezelela ukuboshelwa isikhathi eside, ukuqeqeshwa kwakho kuyasebenza.”Qhubeka nomsebenzi omuhle futhi bayojabula ekhejini Hlala ekhejini ubusuku bonke!
