Indlela yokufundisa inja ukulandela imiyalo?

Ngaphambi kokudlulela ezindleleni zokugqugquzela, ake sichaze ukuthi kuyini. Ukuze kucace, ake sibheke isibonelo.

Ake sithi ufuna ukufundisa inja ukunqoba inyoka yezithiyo, kodwa ayijahile ukuqedela umsebenzi owabelwe yona, ngoba ayisiboni isidingo sayo. Ukuze uzuze umphumela, udinga ukuthakazelisa inja, uyikhuthaze ukuba yenze isenzo esithile. Lona ugqozi, nguyena obumba ukuziphatha kwenja. Kodwa indlela yokuvusa isithakazelo, indlela yokufundisa inja ukulandela imiyalo?

Izindlela eziningana zokugqugquzela zisiza, okuyinhloko okuwukudla, ukukhuluma (intonation), amandla, ukudlala, njll. Indlela ophatha ngayo isithakazelo isilwane esifuywayo ngokuqondile incike kumlingiswa wakhe, isimo sengqondo, kanye nalokho akuthandayo. Isibonelo, izinja ezikhuthele, ezinomdlandla zizowuqeda ngenjabulo umsebenzi eziwunikeziwe ngethemba lokujaha ibhola eziwuthandayo. Lena indlela yomdlalo wokugqugquzela. 

Izinja ezinothando, ezizwelayo zilungele ukujabulisa umnikazi nganoma yini, ukuze nje zithole imvume yakhe nokudumisa ngomlomo. Lena indlela yezwi (noma ngomlomo) yokugqugquzela. Ezinye izinja zithinteka ngempumelelo kakhulu ngezindlela ezinamandla: ikakhulukazi, ukucindezela kwenja kumenza alalele umyalo “wokuhlala”. Kodwa isisusa sokudla okunomsoco sibhekwa ngokufanele kakhulu (ikakhulukazi imidlwane nezinja ezincane), ngoba sisekelwe ezidingweni zokusekela ukuphila (isidingo sokudla) futhi ngokuzenzakalelayo sinamandla kakhulu.

Ngokuphambene nenkolelo evamile, akuyona yonke inja ebona amazwi okugunyaza njengokudumisa. Izilwane ezifuywayo ezikwazi ukuzimela ngokuvamile ziphatha amagama nokuphimisa ngokunganaki. Umnikazi wenja enjalo okokuqala kufanele athole inhlonipho nothando lwakhe - futhi ngemva kwalokho ukuphinyiswa kwakhe kuyoba okubalulekile esilwaneni.

Uma inja yenqaba ukulandela imiyalo, sikhuluma ngokugqugquzela okunganele. Buyekeza indlela yakho yokuqeqesha futhi wenze izinguquko kuyo.

Cabanga ngakho, uke wahlangana nenja engenandaba ngokuphelele nokuphathwa? Akunakwenzeka ukuthi kuzoba nomuntu ozophendula lo mbuzo ngokuvuma, ngoba izilwane ezifuywayo, njengathi, azikho neze ezimweni ezifisa ukunambitha okuhle. Ukusetshenziswa kokuphatha ekuqeqesheni nasekufundiseni kukuvumela ukuthi uhehe futhi ugcine intshisekelo yenja emsebenzini. Kodwa kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi ukuphatha kuwukudumisa, hhayi ukudla. Inja kufanele ivuzwe kuphela uma umyalo wenziwe ngendlela efanele, kuphela ngale ndlela izofunda isifundo futhi ikhumbule ulwazi olunikezwe yona. Ukwelapha ngokweqile nokungaguquguquki ngeke nje kubangele ukuhluleka komqondo wakho, kodwa kuzophinde kube nomthelela ekutheni isilwane sakho sibe nesisindo esiningi, okuzoholela ezinkingeni zempilo ezengeziwe. Futhi njengoba sesike sayithinta le nkinga, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi akuzona zonke izibiliboco eziwusizo ngokufanayo enjeni.

Yikuphi ukudla okufanele ukunikeze lapho uqeqeshwa?

Ukudla okuvela etafuleni (isibonelo, amasoseji anqunywe zibe izingcezu ezincane), yiqiniso, kuzoheha ukunaka kwesilwane, kodwa ngeke kumlethele noma iyiphi inzuzo. Futhi lokhu kungcono kakhulu. Okubi kakhulu, ukwelapha okunjalo kuzoholela ekuqunjelweni kokudla, ngoba izibiliboco zabantu azifaneleki ngokuphelele ukondla izilwane ezifuywayo.

Isixazululo esihlakaniphe kakhulu ukusebenzisa izinja ezikhethekile, ngoba azizona nje ezihlwabusayo kakhulu, kodwa futhi zinempilo ngendlela emangalisayo. Yiqiniso, uma sikhuluma ngemigqa yekhwalithi. Udinga ukukhetha ukuphatha okwenziwe ngenyama yemvelo, ngaphandle kokusebenzisa odayi bokwenziwa.

Uma ufisa, ungakhetha ukwelapha okuvimbelayo ukuthi, ngaphezu kokusuthisa umzimba ngamavithamini, ukusekela amazinyo anempilo kanye nomgodi womlomo kanye nokuphefumula okuqabulayo (isibonelo, izinti zezinyo nge-eucalyptus, amathambo e-mint ezinja nezixubho ezikhiqizwa ama-Mnyams). Noma, uma inja yakho ijwayele ukungezwani nezinto ezithile, ukudla okungenayo okusanhlamvu, ama-hypoallergenic (ama-Mnyams angenanhlamvu). Ngakho, ubulala izinyoni ezimbili ngetshe elilodwa: ugqugquzela inja ukuba ilandele imiyalo futhi yenze umnikelo obonakalayo empilweni yayo.

Ukunethezeka kokusebenzisa "izikhuthazi esezilungile" akunakuphikwa. Ukuphatha okukhethekile okukhethekile (isibonelo, i-Mnyams Mini Assorted Bones) kulula kakhulu ukuthwala. Afika apakishwe esitsheni esihlangene esingena kalula esikhwameni sokuqeqesha (njenge-Hunter Treat Belt Pouch) ngaphandle kokungcolisa izandla zakho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, awadingi ukuphekwa.

Ngamafuphi, ukuze uthole ukuqeqeshwa okuphumelelayo nemfundo, isikhuthazo esinjalo esinjengokudla siyadingeka. Kodwa, futhi, into esemqoka ukwazi isilinganiso. Ukuzivocavoca kufanele kube ukujima, hhayi isidlo sakusihlwa esengeziwe sesilwane sakho.  

Yiqiniso, ekusebenzeni nenja, kungcono ukuhlanganisa nokuhlanganisa izindlela zokugqugquzela. Lokhu kuzokusiza ukuthi usazi kangcono isilwane sakho futhi uthole indlela ephumelela kakhulu. Lapho uvuza inja yakho ngokuyiphatha kahle, qiniseka ukuthi ukunwaya ngemva kwendlebe bese uthi “kulungile” noma “wenze kahle”. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, inja esivele ifunde imiyalo eyisisekelo izofunda ukusebenza nje ngegama elinomusa, kodwa ezigabeni zokuqala zokuqeqeshwa kwakho, isikhuthazo esinamandla - ukwelapha - sizodingeka.

Nakulokhu, siphawula ukuthi inja kufanele ikhuthazwe kuphela ngemva komyalo owenziwe kahle. Uma inja yenza iphutha noma ingawunaki umyalo, yenza sengathi akwenzekanga lutho bese usetha umsebenzi futhi. Isimo esibaluleke kakhulu sokuqeqeshwa: awukwazi ukuyeka ukuqeqeshwa kuze kube yilapho inja isiqedile umyalo. Ungalokothi ume phakathi nekilasi. Kufanele ulandele, kungenjalo inja izoyeka ukukubona njengomholi.

Njengesiphetho, ngithanda ukusho ukuthi akufanele ufune into engenakwenzeka noma engenakwenzeka enjeni. Ukulindela ukuthi i-pug inqobe ngamandla iziqongo eziphakeme okungenani akulungile, futhi futhi kunonya kakhulu.

Hlela ukuzivocavoca kwakho ngokucabangela izici zesilwane esifuywayo, izimfanelo zaso nezici zomzimba. Futhi ungakhohlwa ukuba umngane wakhe onokwethenjelwa nonakekelayo: ubungane buyisihluthulelo sempumelelo!
