Ikhono lezinja

Kwaqala kanjani?

Ikhono lezinja wumdlalo osemusha. Umncintiswano wokuqala wenziwa e-UK e-Crufts ngo-1978. Ukunqoba inkambo yesithiyo yizinja kwajabulisa izethameli, futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, imincintiswano ye-agility yaba yingxenye ebalulekile yombukiso, futhi kamuva yazuza ukuthandwa kwamanye amazwe. Umsunguli we-agility, kanye nomhleli wombukiso, u-John Varley wayengumlandeli oshisekayo wezemidlalo yamahhashi. Ngakho-ke, kukholakala ukuthi kwakuyimincintiswano yamahhashi eyathathwa njengesisekelo.

Kuyini ukushesha?

I-Agility ukunqoba inkambo yesithiyo yinja. Lona umdlalo weqembu, inja nomnikazi wayo babamba iqhaza kuwo, onikeza imiyalo futhi aqondise endleleni efanele.

Into eyinhloko kulo mdlalo ukuxhumana nokuqonda okuphelele phakathi komuntu nesilwane, kanye nokuqeqeshwa okuhle, ngoba ukuhlanzeka nesivinini somzila kuncike kulokhu.

Izifundo ze-Agility ziqukethe izithiyo ezahlukahlukene okufanele ziqedwe ngokulandelana okuthile. Lezi zithiyo ziyizinhlobo ezahlukene:

• Xhumana nezithiyo - lezo ezibandakanya ukuxhumana okuqondile kwesilwane ngesithiyo ngokwaso (ngokuvamile isilayidi, ukuguqula, umhubhe, njalonjalo);

• Eqa izithiyo, okungukuthi, lezo ezibandakanya inja eyenza i-jump (umgoqo, indandatho);

• Ezinye izithiyo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa okokusebenza okushelelayo njenge-slalom (izinti ezihambisanayo ezihlelwe ziqonde phezulu zilandelana inja eyinyoka uma idlula) kanye nesikwele/inkundla (inkundla eyisikwele ebiyelwe noma ephakanyisiwe lapho inja kufanele iqhwande endaweni eyodwa isikhathi esithile).

Abaphathi abanolwazi bacabangela izici zomuntu ngamunye kanye nezici zohlobo lwenja ngayinye, kanye "nomhlahlandlela" wayo. Lokhu kukuvumela ukuthi uzuze imiphumela emihle futhi udlule ngempumelelo ithrekhi.

Kunemincintiswano ehlukahlukene ye-agility kanye nezitifiketi ezinikezwa ukudlula ngempumelelo kwethrekhi izikhathi ezimbalwa zilandelana. Le miqhudelwano inezidingo zayo, amamaki nezijeziso zamaphutha.

Ungaqala kanjani ukuzivocavoca?

Uma unquma ukuthi wena nesilwane sakho nithanda umdlalo ofana nokushesha, okokuqala udinga ukufundisa inja imiyalo eyisisekelo. Lokhu kuzokusiza ukuthi uxhumane.

Ngemva kokuphothula izifundo zokuqala zokuqeqesha, ungaqala ukushesha ukuqeqesha. Kungcono ukuya emakilasini kwesinye sezikole ze-canine, njengoba ngokuvamile zinezindawo ezikhethekile zokusheshisa. Futhi, amakilasi eqembu azokusiza wena nesilwane sakho esifuywayo nifunde ukugxila nokusebenza ezimeni lapho kuneziphazamiso eziningi ezizungeze (abantu, izinja, imisindo).

Zama ukuhlukanisa ukusebenzisa kwakho ukuze isilwane sakho singabi nesithukuthezi futhi singalahlekelwa isithakazelo. Khumbula ukuthi awukwazi ukumthethisa ngokudlula okungalungile kwe-projectile, futhi ngisho nangokwengeziwe ukushaya noma ukumemeza, ngoba ubuchwephesha bezinja buwukuzijabulisa kanye nendlela yokunikeza amandla mahhala anqwabelene. Kungcono, ngokuphambene nalokho, ukudumisa isilwane kaningi ngangokunokwenzeka lapho enza okuthile okulungile. Khona-ke ukuqeqeshwa kuzohlotshaniswa nokuzijabulisa nenjabulo enja, futhi uzokujabulela ukwenza konke okushoyo.

I-Agility itholakala kuyo yonke inja, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iluphi uhlobo neminyaka. Phela, into eyinhloko kuyo akuyona ijubane nokunqoba, kodwa ukuxhumana phakathi kwenja nomnikazi kanye nenjabulo yabo bobabili ngokuchitha isikhathi ndawonye.
