This note comes from the many requests that come to me on "nibble".
For reasons of space I will be concise, hoping to give an understandable response to the parallel mentioned in the subject.
What is the reward:
intend to reward the positive marking - a sort of "bravo" - An acceptable behavior of the dog entered in a program of education or training.
What is the treat:
food that the dog sees only in education or training sessions. If it is the same as grants for the meal, there is actually a food, a primary resource.
What is the food for a dog
is a primary source from which all behavioral activities of the species. So: eat to survive and reproduce.
What is the food for a man
is not only a primary source from which grow all human activities (ways to get it), but even more, including: culture, conviviality, social, socializing, etc..
He gives food to the dog and the man controls on food (time, manner, time, dose) for three main reasons:
1) stopped in the dog some predatory sequences in genetic not allow him to survive - except in isolated cases and not representative - in nature;
2) the dog lives with humans for thousands of years and this has never allowed to be autonomous in relation to food sources;
3 ) in contemporary society is unthinkable to do otherwise.
Studies on stray provided conclusive evidence of the opportunism stray dogs, which take advantage of landfills for food, the gifts of men, garbage cans, leftovers, what are the street without using predation. Precisely for this reason they live in urbanized areas and not in the woods.
feral dogs is observed incidence of predation for food 5% (the same that wolves have on livestock predation in the case of livestock).
This peculiarity has attributed the dog - feral, stray or domestic - in the sphere of ethological "opportunistic animals."
From these premises, one thing is clear: the total dependence of man in reference to dog food (as for most part of primary resources) and the opportunity to get it.
It can therefore ascribe the use of the morsel to the role of "alpha roll" by man?
Yes: the dog depends on man for food sources.
E 'wrong?
It depends on how you interpret the figure of the dog and the role we have in combination.
Food and reward are related?
No. The time of feeding a dog precedes and is followed by ritualization typical of the species to which the treat is not followed by any, nor take into account.
You can compare the "goodie" to "candy"?
No. It 's a human concept used on children and education, otherwise, in adults.
The dog is not a child nor an adult is just a dog, another species with a different immune system, with a different diet from ours, with the meaning of taste different from those of man.
the treat rewards?
No: conditions (in fact most of the dogs has its name plate in elective hand man). The tidbit
"autoaccredita" the dog?
No. The dog shifts its reasoning on the food source and develop a learning path just to reach it (the "command" - incorrectly called "claim"). It is a wonderful example of the "games of mental activity" (which more properly call "activity toy smell").
From there to talk about "relationship" or "partnership" will pass.
So why use it?
Because it is a powerful trigger of motivation that goes beyond the simple relationship with the man, a trigger ancestral, deep rooted and able to "bend" the dog without pain to the will of man relying on the consequent dependence dell'elargizione opportunism of the species (targeted to the survival of the species).
It is not used in those disciplines where the dogs partnership remains the only central pivot through which they move the dog and the handler (and sheep hunting dog). The man then simply exploits this dependency in favor of optimizing the time of education and / or training (optimization of human time, of course).
But one may use the bites only to teach something to the dog? Use it as a means of transitional education?
E 'permitted up to a certain point and does not promote the proper use of "learning time" in the dog. From here, the speed of preparation and amplification of opportunism that is often stretched in other contexts.
Professionals serious, in case you would use, then contemplate what is technically called a "process of extinction of reinforcement."
E 'ascribe the lawful use of the morsel in education / training to the method kind?
If by "nice" we mean the moral educator dog, yes.
If, however, we realized how much depends on the dog by the man on the "food source", no.
remains in fact an element of dominance has always been run by the tenant, and therefore can not be ascribed to the idea of \u200b\u200bpartneship.
WARNING: This site does not judge those who make use of the morsel in education / training. I have limited semplicemente a spiegare in sintesi il mio pensiero attraverso alcune argomentazioni che ritengo valide.
