訓(xùn)犬師如何改變狗狗的行為？擁有豐富工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的訓(xùn)犬師杜琳佳說(shuō)：“狗的一種常見(jiàn)攻擊行為是向主人低吼來(lái)保護(hù)食物。在這種情況下，首先需要分析狗的動(dòng)機(jī)——狗狗會(huì)護(hù)食可能是以為主人是來(lái)?yè)屖澄锏�，而我們的目的就是要改變這一情況。”

How does a trainer change a dog’s behavior? “One common aggressive behavior of a dog is growling (低吼) at its owner to protect its food,” an experienced dog trainer called Du Linjia said. “In such cases, we need to first analyze the dog’s motivation. It may think that the owner is there to take its food, which we aim to change.”

解決辦法是，在一步一步向它慢慢靠近的同時(shí)給它更多美味的食物。通過(guò)這種做法，能夠讓狗狗開(kāi)始相信“允許人類靠近，我才可以得到獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)”。

By giving the dog even more delicious food while slowly getting closer one step at a time, the dog begins to believe “I can be rewarded for letting humans come closer”.

對(duì)于一個(gè)訓(xùn)犬師來(lái)說(shuō)，“責(zé)任感”是最重要的。無(wú)論狗狗做出什么行為，訓(xùn)犬師都必須冷靜地做出判斷，并且絕對(duì)不能放棄。

A dog trainer should have a strong sense of responsibility. No matter what behavior a dog has, the trainer must make judgments calmly and never give up on any dog.

通常來(lái)說(shuō)，一只狗如果表現(xiàn)得不夠友善，往往是由于其主人行為的誤導(dǎo)。有同理心意味著訓(xùn)犬師需要從狗的角度進(jìn)行思考，善于觀察，足夠敏感，能夠注意到狗狗行為的微小變化，以便于及時(shí)干預(yù)。

A dog’s worst behavior is usually due to the misleading (誤導(dǎo)性的) behavior of its owner. One needs to think from the dog’s perspective. More practically speaking, Du said a dog trainer needs to be observant (善于觀察的), and sensitive enough to notice small changes in the dog’s behavior so that they can intervene (介入) in time.

杜琳佳說(shuō)：“訓(xùn)犬師這個(gè)職業(yè)在未來(lái)是很有市場(chǎng)的。”以前許多養(yǎng)寵者只關(guān)注狗狗的身體健康狀況，現(xiàn)在他們也愿意思考如何和狗狗有更好的相處模式。

“The future for dog trainers is promising,” Du said, adding that many customers who would previously only focus on whether their dogs were healthy are now willing to learn how to improve their dogs’ behavior.
