Can you train a police dog in positive?

Who trained with traditional training methods usually object positive saying it is not possible to get reliable results. They indicate that it is not possible to train police dogs and even dogs mondioring positive schutzhund dogs.


However, it is true that the traditional and mixed methods predominate in dog training in these fields, it is also true that there are police dogs, trained to mondioring and positive schutzhund. This means that it is possible to train dogs at very high reliability using positive methods.

Guy Williams, trainer of police dogs and one of the main promoters of training in positive working dogs, a great article explains in English that can achieve high levels of reliability without resorting to violence against dog handling physical, screaming, hitting or other physical punishment. That is, training in positive.

Dogs children: our dogs see us as parents?

As social animals, dogs have an innate need to form strong bonds with others of the same species. However, to be pets, they have also developed the need to form strong bonds with humans.

Scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna (Vetmeduni Vienna) studied the type of link you are dogs with humans, based on attachment theory. Their results suggest that the links are dogs with humans would be very similar in principle to the links that make young children with their parents.


Attachment theory suggests that the strong bond of babies to their parents is an evolutionary adaptation that protects infants because attachment makes them often look to their parents or caregivers. Vetmeduni Vienna scientists suggest that dogs have developed a similar evolution over adaptation, by which they can not only stick to their conspecifics, but also to humans. This would have helped them a lot, since most dogs live as pets or in some kind of dependency relationship to people.

During the research, scientists evaluated particularly what is known as a secure base effect, which is one component of attachment theory that says that the caregiver or parent provides a secure base for the child to explore the world with confidence. For dogs, the base securely provide the owner or keeper of the dog.

Through several experiments, they concluded that dogs are actually dependent on the security provided by their owners or caregivers to explore their environment with confidence. When caregivers or owners were not, the dogs were reluctant to explore and even to take food that was in place. This even if there were other people in the place.

This research says a lot about the differences between dogs and wolves (which only form stronger links among them) and the collaborative evolution of the dog and man. Besides being a starting point for further studies on the evolution of dog behavior, it can lead to applied studies about how to approach strange dogs making them feel safe (useful eg for trainers and veterinarians).

However, there are aspects to be assessed in the future. For example, if there are also different types of attachment as found the children-parents (secure attachment, insecure or avoidant attachment and ambivalent attachment) relationship on the dog-man relationship.

Diarrhea in Dogs

Diarrhea is an alteration in the flow of fecal matter through the digestive tract. Rapidly flowing stools, are soft and watery, and there is reduced absorption of water, electrolytes and nutrients.

Diarrhea in dogs can be acute or chronic, depending on their causes. When it is acute, suddenly appears, it can be very severe and quickly disappears. When it is acute, it is milder but lasts for a long time if not treated.


The four types of diarrhea are:
  • Osmotic. Excess non-absorbable substances in the intestine prevents liquids can be absorbed.
  • Secretory. The excessive secretion of ions reduces the absorption capacity of intestinal fluids and nutrients.
  • Exudative. Damage to the intestinal mucosa permeability increase, also increasing fluid and proteins into the intestine. Such damage can be caused by inflammation or foreign body ulcers, bacterial infections, viral infections, parasites, poisons, drugs or autoimmune problems.
  • By abnormal intestinal motility. Digestive bowel movements become faster than normal (hypermobility), causing food to move faster and can not absorb nutrients or water or well.
