resolution intraspecific aggression in dogs 
Rivers of ink have been written on "man-dog": two entities engaged in the sharing of everyday life thousands of years.
From web to print, the relations between the two species have become, now more than ever, the subject of studies, comparisons, analysis and treated ethological available to anyone.
Matter dog but has never been addressed in a practical point of view of "
cooperation between species, but simply through an anthropocentric thought that places man in a state of intellectual superiority and control over the dog.
But we are sure that the forces of nature, and the resulting dynamics of the report, acting in that way?
What is the difference between a dog and a perfectly trained animal calm to the service of man? You can feel the
cooperation between species a valuable tool for the resolution of behavioral problems of dogs?
After many years of experience, and to study intraspecific aggressiveness Claudio Mangini has developed a method called "dynamic
herd" through which you can restore an equilibrium relationship Correct the dog with respect to its own species.
The method does not include special training, use of drugs or instruments of coercion and is implemented only in accredited facilities directly from the Animal Trainer of Italy Claudio Mangini. "
This method, recently recorded with a deed is supported by clinical analysis and testing of various breeds, together with the protocols used to study the phenomenon.

" resolution intraspecific aggression"
But what intraspecific aggression?
This term, often misused or superficial, this is the aggression directed against the same kind of membership.
The factors that determine this condition are many, ranging from reactive individual genetic predisposition, to stimuli, environmental factors, to socialize, to get to the previous experiences or traumas, to the purely etiological aspects (hormones, organic diseases, etc.). . A multifactorial disease
then, on which the attitude of the owner plays a major role.
But where is the line between "conduct disorder" and "unwanted conduct"?
the social value of the dog has changed dramatically over the past fifty years, as well as environmental factors have changed and expectations of man against his life partner.
between neurosis and well-being, the dogs are able to relate much better with us than we know we do with them.
Leads, poor relation, limited spaces, unfamiliar with the language of canine and many misconceptions (and interpretations), bears the dogs do not understand the inputs that are often sent to them, living in a sort of misunderstanding continues
that leads to what, exactly, then called "strange behavior".
A rule of all: the dog, by its nature, will never see the world through our eyes and before we internalize this concept, before we can restore a proper relationship with our dog ...

catecholamines, chemical compounds resulting dall'amminoacido tyrosine.
Two of these compounds (epinephrine and dopamine) act as neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and hormones into the bloodstream. High levels of catecholamines in the blood are associated stress that can be caused by psychological reactions or environmental factors such as levels of sound, light or low blood sugar.
Catecholamines cause general physiological changes that prepare the body for physical activity (fight or flight response
). Some typical effects are, for example, increased heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and a general reaction of the sympathetic nervous system.
Their degradation is a matter of minutes and in clinical trials conducted after behavioral treatment were noted considerable variation, and consegunte restore the values \u200b\u200bof cetecolamine ...

What is a cooperation between species?
The Soviet philosopher Kropotkin, in his book "The mutual support, documenting examples of mutual aid among animals and humans. kropotkiano The backbone of thought is that the evolution of organic life in its biological and historical events, is encouraged and given the reality of "mutuoappoggio", which is in opposition to the idea of \u200b\u200bconflict or competition with perennial , on which restrict views of sociological elite, aimed at enhancement of the struggle of each against all for the survival of their species and individual (social Darwinism). The importance of social habits in the animal kingdom is documented by the resource aggregation to protect against adverse environmental and easier to search for food. The progress and the emancipation of man are acquired through the practice of cooperation between men, even of very different cultures, and every human activity, from art to the exchange of goods, benefits from the spirit of solidarity rather than conflict.
Until a few years ago as part of the biological sciences, study and research on the phenomena of social relations in the animal kingdom were muted, with little funding and little interest in culture (more ... enthusiastic scenes of war and images of peaceful coexistence). Today, in the wake of ecological interests, operates more attention of researchers to understand and analyze the mechanisms of social relations and cooperation between animal species and in humans. Without too much mixing with the meanings and scientific opinions of a political no progress of scientific research in the field of ecological symbiotic relationship, confirming observations of Kropotkin.
E 'useful biological repeat some definitions: for symbiosis means the coexistence of two or more individuals of different species in close ecological relationship, sustained over time, the mutualism is a symbiosis where both organisms involved benefit derived by the association ... follows in the book
But what is a dynamic pack?
The herd, by definition, is a group of animals that spontaneously working together seamlessly.
The term is generally used to refer to groups of the same species, but is sometimes extended to groups of species that behave in a similar way (wildebeest and zebras for example).
Within a herd the division of labor (the dynamics) is controlled by social hierarchies that nature has put at their disposal to survive and reproduce, but speaking specifically of dogs this concept is never really applied to the core, seen that in most cases we tend to take for granted just two hierarchical roles of the whole system: the dominant and submissive. In dogs
magazines and training courses we speak of dominance and deference, almost as a single form of interaction between us and the dogs, and often in a superficial or even inaccurate.
To prove this statement you just look at the canines wild (because it's natural state that we must study to understand a species) and the refined hierarchies that existed in the herd. Take for example the
canis lupus (the ancestor of the dog), we promptly forget the various roles that nature has provided to the puppies after birth and inclination tasks that only an experienced eye, and later refined tests, can be seen.
To most dog lovers, hierarchical roles such as beta , the intermediate , omega and nurse are almost unknown or underestimated in the same way in which is improperly used the term "herd " - or " family pack" ... follows in the book ...
... There are limits to the concept of dominance (how many times I've heard of "code built" as the only example of a specific domain ...) to diagnose behavioral rough, but a great effect on the inexperienced owner.
This way of dealing with it not only creates inaccuracy ethology, but it also reinforces the misconception of dominance at all costs, on which types of packaging (nice or not, it is always conditioning) would seem the only successful tool to be obeyed from your dog.
When I arrived in the middle years, many affected dogs (the sleeve, the balls, food, etc.). And I've never worked with a classic counter-conditioning systems to rectify the situation, but proposing an alternative: cooperation between species.
The dog will never put up a dog with an open mind capable of making their own decisions and balanced, open and cooperative dog, by contrast, will never need air conditioning to obey an order and will get along very well even in extreme situations.
Living with wolves, then training them for the cinema, where the contexts are certainly not easy even for men (less so for animals), has allowed me to enter into their mental mechanisms and hierarchical from a privileged position: that the observer's attention towards their motivational triggers: those impulses (instinct or consequential) which lead them to make a share, in a specific context, motivation, seeking animal.
The axis of my thoughts, in essence, moved quickly, making me more and more away dall'approccio human to them.
sure I'm not ashamed to say that in practical terms I've learned more than from the wolves zooantropologia courses on dogs ... follows in the book
