dzieki Monia!

Ala od Jazza

Świetny artykuł!
Hmm... U Jazza to chyba jednak było środowiskowe.
Chociaż do teraz w sytuacji bardzo mocno stresowej sięga do tego sposobu rozładowania. Zapewne jednak bazuje na wyuczeniu danego zachowania, tym bardziej, że nikt go teraz nie hamuje, jak tylko zaczyna się pobudzać, i nie pilnuje tego.. Confused

Więc nawet wyjście na spacer znowu jest dla niego bodźcem.

Dr. Nicholas Dodman and scientists at Tufts University discover shared gene in dogs with obsessive disorders

These findings had broad implications for people and animals suffering from compulsive disorders.
For many years Dr. Nicholas Dodman observed common obsessive disorders appearing in the Doberman Pinscher. One such issue that kept popping up was these dogs shared the behavior of sucking their flanks, blanket sucking or both. This lead to a research project to search for a genetic link to the behavior. And it was found! Research was gathered by looking at and comparing the genomes of 94 Doberman Pinschers that engaged in one or more of the behaviors against 73 that practiced neither.

What was discovered was a spot on canine chromosome 7 which contains the gene CDH2 (Cadherin 2), which revealed a variation in the genetic code in those animals that performed the sucking behaviors and those that didin't. Dodman's breakthrough recently appeared in the science section of The New York Times and a short version of the report was published in Molecular Psychiatry.

According to the New York Times article, Dr. Karen L. Overall, a veterinary behaviorist suggests that up to 8% of dogs in America (5-6 million animals) suffer from obsessive behaviors. Some include tail-chasing, snapping at imaginary flies, chewing, fence-running and more. According to veterinary behaviorists obsessive compulsive behaviors are one of the leading reasons owners surrender their dogs or choose to have them euthanized.

In my own training business I take on obsessive behavior cases quite frequently. Some of the more common behaviors I've observed are fence running, shadow or light chasing, scratching of flank (with back paw), and licking front legs /paws. Some behaviors can be redirected through operant conditioning, by reducing stressful stimuli or by affecting environmental changes. More resistant cases are referred to local veterinary behaviorists or Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine for further observation and treatment.

The one common thread I've found in the fence running and shadow/light chasing group is that the behavior was at one time influenced by owners. Meaning at some point the stimuli was presented to the dog by a human and the resulting behavior reinforced. For example, teasing a puppy with a laser or flashlight and enjoying the folly of the dog attempting to catch or bite at the moving orb of light.

Thanks to Dodman's research veterinarians, trainers and breeders may now have more knowledge regarding which breeds or bloodlines may be more susceptible than others. Additionally, the research also indicates these behaviors can be inherited.

Dr. Dodman will be appearing in Tinton Falls, NJ on June 19-20, 2010 to present a seminar on canine behavior, medical issues and more at Purr 'n Pooch . For more information on this event, books and more visit his website, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
