Ungaligibela kanjani ibhayisikili nenja yakho: amathiphu okugibela okuyimpumelelo

Isilwane esifuywayo sizoba umngane omuhle kakhulu ngesikhathi sokugibela ibhayisikili. Indlela yokuqonda ukuthi umngane onemilenze emine ulungele i-adventure enjalo nokuthi ungayilungisa kanjani inja yebhayisikili?

Izinhlobo zezinja zokuhamba ngebhayisikili

Njengabantu, ezinye izilwane ezifuywayo zithanda ukuchitha isikhathi ngaphandle futhi zihlole izindlela nezindlela. Ezinye izinhlobo ngokwemvelo zidinga ukuvivinya umzimba okukhulu kanye nezindawo ezivulekile ezivulekile emapaki. 

Umhlahlandlela wokuvakasha wamabhayisikili e-IRIdeUp ubika ukuthi i-Australian Cattle Dogs, i-Border Collies, i-Labrador Retrievers, i-Hungarian Vizslas ne-Weimaraners yenza kahle emizileni yamabhayisikili asezintabeni nabanikazi bazo.

Ochwepheshe baphinde baqaphele ukuthi abangani abahamba phambili bokugibela ibhayisikili izinja eziqeqeshwe kahle ukulandela imiyalo yomlomo. 

Ngokuvamile umnikazi uzodinga ukusebenzisa umyalo othi “woza kimi” ukuze agcine isilwane esifuywayo endleleni futhi ahambe eduze kwebhayisikili, kanye nokuqhela kwabanye abagibeli bamabhayisikili nabahamba ngezinyawo. Uma umngane wakho onemilenze emine ehlala ebaleka, ungazama ukumfundisa imiyalo “yesobunxele” kanye “nokwesokudla” ukuze umsize ahlale endleleni futhi agweme izingozi ezingaba khona, njengemihosha noma amadwala acijile.

Umnikazi unethuba lokuphefumula ngenkathi egibela egqumeni, kodwa inja kuyodingeka igijime njalo ngomzuzu wohambo lwamakhilomitha angu-15. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, kubalulekile ukucabangela ukulungiswa kwenja ngokomzimba. 

Ingabe kulula kuye ukuhambahamba endaweni? Ingabe amalunga, izidladla, izidladla zakhe zilungile? Futhi kuthiwani ngenhliziyo? Lapho ulungiselela umjaho wamabhayisikili, kubalulekile ukuthola imvume kadokotela wezilwane. Uzokutshela uma ungakwazi ukuthatha isilwane sakho ohambweni olude lomfutho ophezulu, njengokugibela ibhayisikili.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma inja ithanda ukuma njalo ukuze ihogele yonke into ngendlela efanele, iphazanyiswa kalula yizilwane zasendle noma abantu, ngeke ibe umngane ongcono kakhulu wokugibela ibhayisikili. 

Ekugcineni, uma inja ima kungazelelwe, ingase ilimaze noma ilimaze umniniyo..

Ukugibela ibhayisikili nenja: uhambo lokuqala

Uma isilwane esifuywayo sikulungele ngokwengqondo nangokwenyama ukugibela ibhayisikili elihlangene, lapho kuzodingeka agijime eduze nomnikazi, sekuyisikhathi sokuxazulula izinkinga ezimbalwa. Ngokusho kwabathandi bamabhayisikili abavela ku-IRideUp ne-Bicycling Magazine, amaphuzu alandelayo adinga ukucatshangelwa:

• Ingabe isimo sezulu silulungele uhambo? Izidladla zesilwane esifuywayo zizothinta phansi ngaso sonke isikhathi. Kodwa kuthiwani uma kushisa kakhulu, kubanda kakhulu, noma kushelela kakhulu ukuba inja yakho ijabulele ukugijima kwayo?
• Ingabe isilwane sakho sibekezelela amazinga okushisa aphezulu kahle? Umnikazi angakwazi ukufudumala futhi afake inja ejazini elibambayo noma i-vest yokupholisa. Kodwa ingabe uzokhululeka ngempela ngakho? Mhlawumbe ukuze wenze uhambo lukhululeke kakhudlwana enja, kufanele ulwenze lube lufushane.
• Inja yakho ithanda ukugijima kuphi? Ukufundisa inja yakho ukugijima ngaphambi noma ngemuva kwebhayisikili kungase kudinge isiqondiso esincane esivela kumphathi onolwazi. Uzofundisa imiyalo yokuqinisekisa ukuthi isilwane esifuywayo asisondeli kakhulu noma siqhele kakhulu.
• Isilwane esifuywayo singagijima kude kangakanani? Ukuze ihambisane nebhayisikili, inja kuyodingeka igijime ngesivinini esimaphakathi noma esisheshayo isikhathi esiningi. Lokhu kunzima impela, ngakho-ke udinga ukwenza ama-run amaningi okuhlola endaweni noma epaki lendawo kude nethrafikhi imizuzu eyi-10-15. Ngemva kwalokho ungangena ohambweni lokuqala olusemthethweni ngomzila wamakhilomitha angu-2-3 ukuze uhlole ukuthi inja izizwa kanjani ngokujwayelekile. Endabeni yokuhamba ngebhayisikili evamile, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa kufanele kube njalo.
• Yisiphi isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokuthatha lolu hambo? Ukuze ugweme ukucindezelwa okungadingekile kwakho kanye nesilwane sakho esifuywayo, kungcono ukhethe izindlela ezingenamuntu eziningi phakathi nesonto ukuze uzame kancane kancane ubudlelwano bamabhayisikili. Ngezimpelasonto nangamaholide, kuzoba nabantu abaningi nezinye izilwane eduze futhi, ngokufanele, iziphazamiso ezengeziwe.

Ngemva kokuzama okuningi nohambo olulodwa noma olubili olugcwele kodwa olufushane, ungakwazi kancane kancane ukwandisa ubude besikhathi somzila. Izinja ezinempilo nezivumelana nezimo zizokwazi ukuphatha ukugijima okude kangcono kunezinja ezinezinkinga zempilo noma ezingasezincane kangako. 

Kubalulekile ukunaka izimpawu ezithunyelwa yinja yakho. Uma elokhu ehefuzela, elele ukuze aphumule, noma efuna ukunakwa, cishe udinga ukuphumula. Kungcono ukuqeda ukuhamba bese ubuyela ekhaya.

Ongakuphathela ukugibela ibhayisikili nenja yakho

Uma ukhetha indawo yokugibela ibhayisikili, kubalulekile ukwazi imithetho nemithethonqubo yabagibeli bamabhayisikili abanezilwane ezifuywayo. Amanye amapaki aqoka izindawo lapho izinja zingadedelwa khona, kanti ezinye zingadinga ukuthi izilwane ezifuywayo zigcinwe ku-leash ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Ngokuhamba ngebhayisikili ku-leash, udinga ukukhetha eyodwa enamathele ngokuphephile ebhayisikili. Uma ukuhamba kuyoba ngaphandle kwe-leash, udinga ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isilwane sigqoke ithegi yekheli kanye ne-vest ekhanyayo, i-harness noma ikhola ezokusiza ukuthi uthole ngokushesha inja uma ibaleka.

I-American Travel Society kanye ne-REI batusa ukuthi uhambe nezinto ezilandelayo lapho uhamba ngebhayisikili lenja:

• amanzi asebhodleleni;
• izibiliboco zokuqeqeshwa;
• ukudla kwenja uma uhambo lude;
• ukudla okulula noma ukudla komnikazi ngokwakhe;
• izitsha zokuhamba ezisongayo;
• izinto zosizo lokuqala lwezinja nabantu;
• i-flashlight yokuhamba kusihlwa;
• izingubo - ijazi lemvula, uboya, kanye nejezi, i-vest namabhuzu enja;
• umakhalekhukhwini onenombolo kadokotela wezilwane;
• izikhwama zokulahla inja;
• ithawula elincane.

Izesekeli zingafakwa esikhwameni sakho noma esikhwameni esikhethekile senja. I-REI incoma ukunciphisa isisindo "somthwalo" wesilwane sakho esifuywayo sibe u-25% wesisindo somzimba waso. Ngakho-ke, i-Labrador Retriever enesisindo esingama-32 kg, imishini akufanele ibe ngaphezu kuka-8 kg. 

Phakathi nokugijima okumbalwa kokuqala, ubhaka kufanele ube lula ngangokunokwenzeka. Kuzothatha inja yakho isikhathi ukujwayela ukugqoka isisetshenziswa esisha.

Amathiphu ambalwa wokugcina abanikazi bamabhayisikili

Ukugibela ibhayisikili nenja kumnandi kakhulu. Kodwa akubona bonke abangani abanemilenze emine abayithandayo. Uma isilwane sakho esifuywayo sithanda ukuhambahamba ngokukhululeka endaweni, ukujikijela ibhola epaki lezinja, noma ukugijima endaweni enezithiyo egcekeni elingemuva, kufanele uhloniphe izifiso zaso. Njengabantu, izithakazelo zenja zingase zihluke kwezabanikazi bayo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, khumbula ukuthi kubalulekile ukufundisa isilwane sakho ukusebenzisana nezinye izilwane ezifuywayo, abagibeli bamabhayisikili nabahamba ngezinyawo. Ukuze kuphephe, inja kufanele iqeqeshelwe ukuphendula ngokushesha emyalweni othi “woza”. Kudingekile ukugada njalo isilwane ukuze uhambo luphephe kuwo wonke umuntu. 

Izinsuku ezimbalwa ezidingekayo ukuze uzijwayeze amakhono adingekayo ukuze ujikeleze nenja zizokwanela ukuthola ukuthi le nto yokuzilibazisa isifanele yini isilwane esifuywayo. Ungakwazi futhi ukucela iseluleko kumqeqeshi kanye nodokotela wezilwane ukuze uthole iseluleko mayelana nendlela yokugcina umngane wakho onemilenze emine enempilo futhi ephephile phakathi nale misebenzi yangaphandle. 

Mhlawumbe lo msebenzi omusha uzokhanga wonke umuntu. Futhi-ke umnikazi kanye nesilwane sasekhaya bazoba nezinto zokuzilibazisa ezihlangene ezengeziwe.
