January 2011 article written by Carlos Alfonso's mention our dogs

During our trip to Gran Canaria this year we decided to leave our two Border Collies "Hechi" and "Taboo "on the premises to" educate "is in Madrid. It was more than a hit that residence had chosen to take care of our dogs. In our "Taboo" again come the new seizures (with these and are 8 which has had to endure), they took care of a lot, we had informed at all times, veterinary came to see and study their case, all they did little to address it and take care of all your needs (both physical and emotional).

Fortunately, once again, good but we do not know when ...

withdrawal from the world as competitive Agility began to give the five, leads a quiet life in the company of her friends from home but, even so, this is genetic and, at any time, you can re-take. The poor girl is emotionally very touched whenever you have an episode and for days did not recognize anyone, not wants out, does not play, etc..,
currently coaches a little bit every once in a while, but we prefer to emphasize the peaceful life and good times.


I were explaining that some behaviors that "Taboo" had had since they were tiny, so-called "minor epilécticos attacks," and we not know :-(
"Taboo" has a behavior strange since childhood when it reaches a point of physical and mental fatigue. I have not seen in any other dog ... but she does always, also a brother, litter, had to be sacrificed by the continuing attacks and suffering even with medication, they were unable to stop them.


thank all the care that the technical team of "educating" reached into the dog.

I leave a recent article by Carlos Alfonso, technical director of "educating" Spain, which is the third part, entitled "Importance of emotions in the social group, "a series that everyone should read and understand.

http://www.educan.es/blog/2010-09-08/la-importancia-de-las-emociones-dentro-del-grupo-social-iii-la-simpatia/

The importance of emotions in social group III: Empathy. This is the third and final article in this series, because as I mentioned my colleague Javier Moral, entropy is a group phenomenon that influences the behavior of individuals (empathy, synchronicity and sympathy are, however, phenomena that influence the individual in the group) and deserves special treatment.
Sympathy is the basis of altruistic behavior strategies and proven in many social mammals: the pongids, elephants, whales and people. Not shown in dogs, but Ojo! Not that it has evaluated and the result has been negative: it is that there have been no published studies conducted to assess the existence of this power (or at least I have not found any documentation about it, if any reader is aware of such documentation would you please give me / s reference / s). Therefore we can argue for or against and defend either hypothesis.

Sympathy involves not only recognizing the emotional state of another individual and alter our behavior accordingly, but the emotional contagion observed state: when positive emotional state that allows us to share, but more interesting is that when negative behavior is generated for improvement. It is the basis of solidarity.

Assessing capacity for sympathy of a species can only be determined in a consistent manner based on the occurrence of this emotional contagion with a particular emotion: sadness. Why?, Happiness often leads partners or the appearance of positive stimulus has only caught the animal is happy or expansive behaviors that can easily induce other group members to "learn" when it is time right to play aggressive emotional states should also be quickly captured by other individuals in the group to adapt their behavior by self-interest no one wants to touch her noses a guy angry!, even fear can be associated with individual interest factors: if another individual in the group is afraid something dangerous can happen to everyone, do well to "catch" the emotional state and put your feet (legs ) heels. Thus the spread of these emotions is easily explained by associations with items of interest to the individual who is infected, eye! I'm not saying that contagion occurs only for this reason, but following the principle of Morgan behavior to be explained as a result of a complex psychological process if we can explain it through other more fundamental. The parrot with this that some behavioral have been cited ad nauseam that "canon" of Morgan, forgetting that the same Morgan, somewhat shocked by the bias that gave his words, then added: "that the scope of this principle is not misunderstanding must add that the fee does not in any interpretation of a particular behavior in terms of processes and have achieved higher if independent evidence of the existence of these higher processes in the animal we're looking at. " So if all the processes of emotional contagion we observe can be explained on the basis of partnerships with the consequences of these emotional states can not talk about sympathy, but if there is at least one case emotional contagion can not be explained solely by such associations can be argued that in other cases the infection could occur by the same mechanism to explain this single case. Yes, I too seem confusing.

And here comes in sadness, because there is no direct benefit by getting the sadness of another individual: the sadness is not an alarm to help us avoid danger is not the predictor of any positive event, behavior is a reduction in the individual thought and not an increase that could attract the attention of other individuals. In order to really "logical" would ignore the sad individual. However in species capable of sympathy appears that emotional contagion, which is also directly proportional to the relationship between the individuals involved.

I have seen many cases where it appears the emotional contagion of sadness in dogs: when we are discouraged and give us closer to gently paw or a lick for example. I remember when my dog \u200b\u200bwas very old and Ibo was well down had occasional exacerbations of mind. Whenever this occurred our other dogs, young and active, approached him, the German shepherd would lie down beside him very close to the ground and malinois (unable to sit so still) picked up toys and left fall before him. Behaviors are difficult to explain without taking into account the sympathy, as most reward they got was that in the case of accepting any of the toys, Ibo threw them away to enjoy quiet (yes, it was sometimes very edge). Have obtained more benefit if we simply ignore the yayo and make his life, but it seemed that I was completely impossible to miss these moments of discouragement that had been her playmate for many years. also just a few border collies were in our house, one of them suffered a seizure, after which he became disoriented and apparently did not recognize his partner lifetime, the altered emotional state meant that the dog had not been attacked to try to "encourage" your friend in every way possible: Invitation to the game, calm approach, the first rejected contacts: this caused the other should intensify its efforts to "connect" with her, to the point where we decided to separate them temporarily to avoid the partner concerned an undesirable increase in the levels of stress. It is also true that the dog that showed the levels of active concern for her friend, in my opinion, one of the most special dogs and a charming and engaging personality that I had the pleasure of known.


I can not conclude this article without indicating that, although we are playing songs that give us a vision of "positive" dog, according to the image of them that we have, these are just some of the processes that appear in the domestic dog. There are also well established and others are far less friendly, unfortunately we can not "order" nature according to our wishes, this is something that, IMHO, is being abused too much in the world of training to capture those who are initiated and want to hear that the technical reality matches your ideal of how it is / should be the dog, but studies We also show processes and infanticide in lions, or some forms of aggression in dogs that we want to recognize our best friends.

Therefore we must take into account that while current studies confirm that dogs are not only a fierce individualists willing to aggression by any twinkling of an eye (where did this expression come?), Also confirm the existence of other processes it does appear that competition, individualism and highly aggressive attitudes (without pathology of the behavior) toward social and human companions. We can not take only the knowledge that comfort us, we must accept everything to have a real vision of the ethology of our companions are just as capable of being around friends and supporters as being bastards jackets (can we talk of evil in a blog?, I hope my mother does not read this or I will wash your mouth with soap).

* A short example for the maneuvers was imposed low


* Justice to the end


As you pass the request involved research and principles of opportunity, acceptance anticipated charges and sentences, the subject of espionage to the Supreme Court, like other actors in national life, it becomes more and more uneven. Some evidence that it existed, has said the former head of counterintelligence DAS, a criminal move that sought to gather information from scandals arming them unlawfully to the judges and journalists to use certain sounding. The issue, of course, has transcended all the political sphere to be at the level of crime by a grand conspiracy.


is not just from illegal wiretapping, but to infiltrate bodyguards, detectives, police and domestic servants, bribed with public money, to encircle the judges, as well as recording sessions of the Court. A greater brand intrigue that moves between the seriousness of the facts and the squalor of them. It was not only violating the reserve permanently summary, photocopying cases of para-politics and the like, with perverse intentions, but also derive any glimmer of information that would take majesty to the court, breaking vertebrae and show its legitimacy as a gang of criminals.


As expected, they found absolutely no depth. This shows, indeed, that the judges are so neat as integérrimos. They engaged, then, ridiculous trifles as the gift of a clock or a trip in honor of Neiva, for not finding anything of importance, episodes wanted to make tiny heads iniquitous process. Faced with such


affront, that gradually comes to know the full extent spurious, the Court saved his integrity and moved within the rules depending on circumstances. It is now understood more clearly why he had to settle not only the ICC, but in the respective agencies of the United Nations and the global jurisdiction. Very few times in the world, has been the case that the highest judges the country were spied on from the Executive to advance their duties fully and take forward the Justice. Is, of course, in the annals universal university chairs this episode in which, however, triumph of truth and honesty over the despicable and illegal. Views


internal difficulties who was the Supreme Court, we understand also why it was difficult to agree on the choice of Attorney General, as well as progress on the outstanding cases of para-politics and others of equal impact. It is clear, however, the Acting Prosecutor has acted as one of the best workers who have had this Office and have affected it at all proceedings. For Instead, their latest moves, changing some prosecutor, probably will result in the deepening of research and good cufflinks that has maintained with the Court, it should be.


that the country now knows, also, all that was brewing against the highest court in the regular courts, the Court will be renewed impetus to leave no loose ends in many investigations that are pending. Recovered the institutionalization of the blows, she can be further strengthened to the extent that the Court ends its investigations so. Just as the Attorney General should accelerate, as it has done, everything about the evil espionage and many other edges with which nearly took the front which in Colombia is called the rule of law. Follow


surrounding the Court and Justice by the bulk of the country's opinion will be the best tribute of apology to those who have behaved as exemplary patriots.

certainly Pere knowledge on how to run the dogs, goes far beyond the agility, so we showed how conceptual work, give us much more autonomy on the track to us, and more independence to the dog. It worked various forms of driving, but became much emphasis on directional brands, as an indispensable resource, you can use or not, but they should have all the dogs who want to practice this discipline. This showed us her dog live with Asia, which led to that "tele-engineered car, without leaving the site using only verbal cues. Teach this to our dog Pere told us, that gives security, and fosters cognitive skills, compared to driving based on "open / close doors" in which the dog does not think, but only passing through the gates that open and prevents it closed, in which the dog does not think, just go looking for our next mark indicating "you have to go through here."

practice exercises start with the "next" Natural change direction and against stimulus (in M and as I said Pere Heart) After working several ski jumps / tunnels, where we conduct exercises, changes ahead , blind Cruces, Cruces behind, etc ...

time, space, and the obstacles that we had not given to us more so than Peter was given to extend the half-day seminar, in which the club PICAN us allowed to enjoy its excellent facilities. Here we worked on the correct construction of the various obstacles. Explained the two ways of doing Zones vs. Running Contacts. 2on2off, the 4 types of entries to the slalom, and how to build using the 2 × 2 Susan Garrett.
