Ukuqeqeshwa nokubhaliswa kwenja yokwelapha

Wake wazibuza ukuthi isilwane sakho singenza inja yokwelapha enhle? Ungase ulazi ikhaya lasebekhulile ukuthi inja yakho ingaletha injabulo edingeka kakhulu ezimpilweni zabahlali bayo, kodwa awunaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ungaqala kanjani noma kuphi. Uma uke wazibuza ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo okudingeka uzithathe ukuze ubhalise inja yokwelapha noma ukuthi yini edingekayo ukuze uyiqeqeshe, qhubeka ufunda lesi sihloko.

Zenzani izinja zokwelashwa?

Izinja ezilaphayo, kanye nabaphathi bazo, bavakashela izindawo ezifana nezikole, amakhaya asebekhulile nezibhedlela ukuze basize ukuthuthukisa izimpilo zabantu abasezimeni ezinzima. Uma ubhalisa inja njengenja yokwelapha, ingajabulisa isiguli esigulela ukufa noma ibe umngane womuntu osekhulile onesizungu. Izinja zokwelapha zisiza izingane ezihlushwa ukukhathazeka noma ukucindezeleka ngokunikeza umphumela wokuthulisa. Umsebenzi oyinhloko wenja enjalo ulula - unikeza ukuxhumana, uvumela ukuphazamiseka futhi unikeze uthando kubantu ababhekene nezimo ezinzima.

Inja yokwelapha ngokumelene nenja yesevisi

Kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi inja yokwelapha ihluke kanjani enja yesevisi. Izinja zesevisi zihlala nabantu eziqeqeshelwe ukubasiza futhi zinikeze izinsizakalo ezikhethekile ezifana nokuphelezela izimpumputhe noma ukusiza abantu abakhubazekile. Izinja zesevisi ziqeqeshwe ngokuqinile ukuze zenze imisebenzi yazo ngempumelelo futhi zivunyelwe ukuba noma yikuphi abangani bazo, okuhlanganisa izindawo zokudlela nezindiza. Izinja zokwelashwa, nakuba zinokufinyelela okukhethekile ezakhiweni lapho zimenywe khona, azikwazi ukufinyelela okungenamkhawulo njengezinja zesevisi.

Ukuqeqeshwa kwenja yokwelapha

Njengoba umsebenzi wezinja zokwelapha kuwukuchitha isikhathi nalabo abakudingayo, akudingi ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile okuningi. Kodwa-ke, izinja zokwelashwa kufanele zibe namakhono ayisisekelo okulalela, zibe nobudlelwane obuhle, futhi zixhumane kahle nabantu abangabazi. Ezinye izinhlangano zezinja zokwelashwa zidinga ukuthi “abafundi” bazo baphumelele ukuhlolwa kwe-American Kennel Club (AKC) Isakhamuzi Esilungile. Kwezinye izimo, lezi zinja zizodinga ukungezwani komzimba ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi azithuki ezimeni ezihilela izingane ezinomsindo noma imishini yasesibhedlela.

Ezinye izinhlangano ezibhalisela izinja zokwelapha zihlinzeka ngezifundo zokuqeqesha kulabo abazidingayo, kodwa lokhu kuyivelakancane. Kungase kudingeke ukuthi unakekele ukuqeqeshwa kwenja yesevisi ngokwakho noma uyibhalise ezifundweni ezihlukene. Uhlu olungezansi yizifundo zokuqeqesha isilwane sakho esingase sidinge ukuzithatha ukuze sibe yinja yokwelapha:

• Ukuqeqeshwa kokulalela okuyisisekelo nokuphakathi.
• Isifundo sokuqeqesha "Inja isakhamuzi esiqaphelayo".
• Ukuqeqeshwa kokungazweli, okuhlanganisa ukuqeqeshwa ezimeni ezingajwayelekile kanye nezindawo ezinomsindo omkhulu, kanye nokujwayela ezibhedlela nakwezinye izindawo ezikhethekile.

Xhumana nenhlangano lapho uhlela ukubhalisa khona inja yakho ukuze uthole izidingo eziqondile. Bangakusiza ukuthi uthole amakilasi noma umqeqeshi wezinja zokwelashwa emphakathini wakho.

Izidingo ezengeziwe zezinja zokwelapha

Izilwane zanoma yiluphi uhlobo, ukwakheka noma usayizi zingaba ukwelapha. Ukuze inja ibhaliswe njengenja yokwelapha, kufanele okungenani ibe nonyaka owodwa ubudala. Kufanele abe nobungane, azethembe futhi aziphathe kahle futhi akufanele abe nolaka, akhathazeke, asabe noma asebenzise ngokweqile. Kufanele futhi ukwazi ukukhombisa ukuthi wena noma umuntu ozophelezela inja ekuvakasheleni niyakwazi ukusebenzelana kahle nenja.

Imvamisa, izinhlangano ezibhalisela izinja zokwelashwa zinezidingo zezempilo okufanele inja yakho ihlangabezane nazo. Isibonelo, i-Therapy Dogs International (TDI) isetha lezi zidingo zezempilo zezilwane ezifuywayo ezilandelayo:

• Inja yakho bekufanele ngabe kade yahlolwa udokotela wezilwane ngonyaka ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezedlule.
• Kumelwe ukuba uthole yonke imigomo edingekayo yamarabi njengoba kuhlelwe udokotela wezilwane.
• Kufanele abe nayo yonke imigomo eyisisekelo, okuhlanganisa i-distemper, i-parvovirus kanye ne-hepatitis.
• Kufanele unikeze umphumela wokuhlolwa kwendle onegethivu yenja yakho eyathathwa ezinyangeni ezingaphansi kwezingu-12 ezedlule.
• Ukwengeza, umphumela wokuhlolwa kwe-heartworm omubi ongaphansi kwezinyanga ezingu-12 ubudala, noma ubufakazi bokuthi inja ibilokhu idla imishanguzo yokuvimbela izikelemu zenhliziyo ezinyangeni ezingu-12 ezedlule, kufanele kuhlinzekwe.

Ubhalisa kanjani inja yokwelapha

Ngaphambi kokuthi uqale ukusebenzisa inja yakho njengenja yokwelapha, kufanele ubhalise nenhlangano yezinja zokwelashwa, okuthi, uma usubhalisiwe, ikunikeze izinsiza lapho wena nenja yakho ningasebenza khona. Hlola ukufakwa kuhlu kwakho kwasendaweni kwezinhlangano ezibhalisela izinja zokwelashwa endaweni yangakini, noma vakashela iwebhusayithi ye-American Kennel Club (AKC) ukuze uthole uhlu lwezinhlangano ezigunyazwe yi-AKC zezinja zokwelashwa.

Uma usunelisekile ukuthi inja yakho ihlangabezana nazo zonke izidingo zezinja zokwelapha, wena (noma umuntu ozoba umphathi wenja) kanye nenja yakho kuyodingeka ukuthi ihlolwe yile nhlangano. Ukuhlola ngokuvamile kwenziwa ubuso nobuso neqembu lamanye amapheya angamavolontiya angaba khona esibhedlela noma endaweni yasekhaya labahlengikazi. Isilwane sakho esifuywayo kungase kudingeke siphumelele lezi zivivinyo ezilandelayo:

• Ukuhlangana nokuhlangana nabantu abasha.
• Ukwenziwa kwemiyalelo ethi “hlala” kanye “nolala” ezimeni zeqembu.
• Ukwenziwa komyalo othi “woza kimi”.
• Vakashela isiguli.
• Ukusabela ezinganeni nasezimweni ezingavamile.
• Ukwenziwa komyalo othi “fu”.
• Ukuhlangana nenye inja.
• Ukungena entweni.

Khumbula ukuthi akuyona inja yakho kuphela ezokwahlulelwa. Umhloli uzoqapha eduze kokubili ukuthi uxhumana kanjani nenja yakho nokuthi niphilisana kahle kangakanani nomunye futhi nisebenza njengeqembu. Uma umhloli enelisekile ngomsebenzi wakho kanye nomsebenzi wenja yakho, nobabili ningabhaliswa njengeqembu lezokwelapha.

Uma inhlangano yenja yokwelapha ingenzi ukuhlola endaweni yangakini, ezinye izinhlangano, okuhlanganisa i-TDI, zihlinzeka ngokubhaliswa okulinganiselwe okusekelwe ekuhloleni okukude. Ukuze ucatshangelwe, kufanele unikeze izitifiketi zokuphothula izifundo eziyisisekelo nezimaphakathi zokuqeqesha ukulalela, kanye nencwadi evela esikoleni sokulalela equkethe ukuhlolwa kwesimo senja yakho. Uzodinga futhi ukuthi unikeze incwadi yokuncoma evela kudokotela wezilwane kanye nencwadi yokugunyaza evela endaweni ofisa ukuyivakashela (ebhalwe encwadini yencwadi yaleso sikhungo).

Nakuba inqubo yokuqeqesha nokubhalisa inja yokwelapha iyinkimbinkimbi, ingaba isipiliyoni esizuzisayo kuwe nesilwane sakho esifuywayo, ingasaphathwa yezinzuzo abantu abadinga usizo abazozithola ngokusebenzelana nenja yakho.
