Tijdens de relaxatieoefening leert de hond om naar hun eigenaar te kijken wanneer hij/zij onzeker is en niet goed weet wat te doen. De relaxatieoefening geeft de hond met andere woorden voorspelbaarheid en vertrouwen. Deze techniek kan worden toegepast om een therapie/training te ondersteunen, maar ook bij gewenning en counterconditionering. Daarenboven is het uitstekend voor de band tussen hond en eigenaar.
In het begin lijkt deze relaxatieoefening misschien gewoon een reeks zit- en blijf-oefeningen, maar het is meer dan dat. De relaxatieoefening is een waardevol hulpmiddel om een hypere, overalerte of angstige hond in een rustige en ontspannen sfeer te brengen. Bovendien leert het de hond om rustig te blijven in te drukke en/of spannende situaties.
Onderaan deze blog vind je een overzicht van alle oefeningen die je elke dag moet uitvoeren, dit gedurende 15 dagen. Daarna ga je op een andere locatie de relaxatieoefening uitvoeren, waarbij je de relaxatieoefening van het begin herhaalt.
Bij elke dag staat wat je moet doen en hoelang een oefening dient te worden uitgevoerd. Als je kan, oefen met een familielid die je kan voorlezen wat de volgende stap is. Train je alleen? Print het uit en plaats het op een boekenhouder (zo eentje waar je je kookboek in rechthoudt) of op een opengeklapte laptop.
Karen Overall’s Relaxation Protocol of relaxatieoefening kan helpen met:
- Overenthousiaste begroetingen van een hond (ze kunnen leren om op hun mat te blijven wanneer iemand aanbelt).
- Honden die weinig impulscontrole en lage frustratiegrens hebben.
- Honden met een hoog energieniveau.
- Opdringerige honden (een hond op de mat is een hond die niet kwijlt op tante Leontine tijdens het kerstdiner).
- Reactieve honden (naar andere honden).
- Competitie honden (rust vinden om mat voor en na wedstrijd).
- Bij de dierenarts.
- In openbare plaatsen en drukke plekken (op de bus of trein, op café of buiten de winkel,…).
- Angstige honden die moeilijk rust vinden of moeilijk herstellen na een stressvolle situatie.
Starten
Voor de relaxatieoefening hoef je geen gekke ballen of speciale tuigjes aan te schaffen. Slechts 3 items heb je nodig om de taak tot een goed eind te brengen:
- Mat/kussen/deken/… Het maakt niet uit hoe je het noemt, het maakt niet uit hoe het eruit ziet, zolang je hond een herkenbare plaats/voorwerp heeft waar de oefening op kan uitgevoerd worden. Ik raad aan om een mat of deken te kiezen dat nieuw is voor je hond en dat makkelijk kan meegenomen worden wanneer je de oefening verplaatst naar een andere locatie. Werk je thuis graag op zijn nest of kussen? Geen probleem, leg de mat of deken erover. LET OP: de mat mag niet op de grond of kussen blijven liggen na de relaxatieoefening. De bedoeling is dat als de mat op de grond ligt, de hond erop gaat liggen en blijft liggen, waar dan ook.
- Snoep/beloning: de beloning moet ietwat afgesteld worden op de hond. De beloning is de motivator en moet dus lekker genoeg zijn om ervoor te willen werken. Als de hond de beloning niet ziet als een beloning, zal zijn/haar aandacht er niet bij blijven. Is de beloning té lekker, dan zal de hond moeite hebben om te blijven liggen, omdat hij/zij de hele tijd achter het snoep aan wil. Zorg er dus voor dat je de beloning kiest die ergens tussen die twee uitersten ligt. Het snoep mag ook niet te groot zijn. Ten eerste zodat de hond niet te snel verzadigd geraakt en dus opnieuw minder makkelijk zal verder werken. Als je de hond zijn voer gebruikt als beloning bij trainingen (en hij/zij dus verder niets anders krijgt), dan kunnen je beloningen iets groter zijn. De tweede reden waarom het snoep niet te groot gesneden mag zijn, is omdat je hond zijn/haar aandacht enkel daarop zal gefocust zijn en niet op jou.
***Wist-je-dat: snoep of voer met een hoog proteïne-gehalte het brein kan helpen om te ontspannen? - Clicker: indien je hond de clicker kent, is dit een handige tool om je hond te belonen tijdens de relaxatieoefening
Aandachtspunten tijdens de relaxatieoefening:
- Hou je hand met het snoepje stil en achter je rug, zodat hond de aandacht op jou houdt en niet op het snoep
- Zwaai je hand(en) (met de snoep) niet de hele tijd in de lucht. Dit brengt de hond in de war, wat het tegenovergestelde is van wat je probeert te bereiken;
- Het is belangrijk om zelf kalm te zijn. Je hond zal foutjes maken, maar dit is geen reden tot frustratie. Dit is niet persoonlijk op te vatten door de eigenaar. Noch bij deze relaxatieoefening, noch bij een andere trainingen.
- Beloon de hond enkel als hij/zij de taak perfect uitvoert, niet eerder. Is dit niet mogelijk, dan kan je de “shaping” methode toepassen. Dit wil zeggen dat je gedrag beloont dat al in de buurt komt van het uiteindelijke resultaat, om vervolgens enkel nog te belonen voor gedrag dat dichterbij de het einddoel aanleunt, enzovoort tot je enkel nog de perfect uitgevoerde taak beloont.
- Belangrijk om de relaxatieoefening te doen slagen, is de geschikte beloning en consistentie! Dit wil zeggen dat als er gevraagd wordt om 15 à 20 minuten te trainen, 1 à 2 maal per dag, je enkel moet trainen zolang jij en je hond het leuk vinden en zichzelf amuseren. Met andere woorden, als je 6 maal 5 minuten traint, is dit ook goed. Het tempo van jou en vooral van de hond dient gerespecteerd te worden.
- Wanneer de hond de relaxatieoefening goed uitvoert op 1 plek, kies je een volgende situatie uit waar je de taak nogmaals uitvoert, van in het begin. Verhuis in huis bijvoorbeeld naar elke kamer, voor je in de tuin en daarbuiten gaat trainen.
- Verandering van locatie is een uitdaging, maar ook veranderen van begeleider verhoogt de uitdaging voor de hond. Laat dus alle familieleden de relaxatieoefening uitvoeren.
- Eindig elke relaxatieoefening positief! Dit is uiterst belangrijk. Zowel bij deze als elke andere training. Merk je dat je hond het moeilijk heeft? Blijf geduldig en wanneer het nogmaals lukt, stop je de relaxatieoefening.
- Bedenk dat de hond je heel wat signalen zal geven over hoe hij zich voelt (lees zeker andere blogs over lichaamstaal). De bedoeling is om de fysieke verandering van ontspanning en geluk en alle psychologische onderliggende emoties hiervan te belonen. Het lichaam van de hond mag dus niet stijf zijn en ook mondhoeken en kaken moeten ontspannen zijn. De oren mogen alert zijn, maar de positie ervan ontspannen (verschilt van ras tot ras).
We willen dus geen angst, spanning, agressie of ontwijking belonen. Dit zal ten koste gaan van je relaxatieoefening en andere trainingen. - Tot slot, zal je hieronder zien dat elke oefening een ‘puntje’ is. Na elk puntje, dus na elke oefening, dient de hond beloont te worden. Al dan niet voorafgegaan met een “klik”.
***Wist-je-dat: in het leerproces van vele honden, hun gedrag eerst erger wordt voor het betert? Hou dus vol en vooral blijf rustig!
