Dognition Assessment Toolkit(도그니션 평가 툴킷)을 마친 후 자신의 반려견이 Socialite(사회형)로 분류된 것에 대해 놀라움을 표함.Socialite(사회형)라는 명칭이 전혀 어울리지 않는 것처럼 느껴지기 때문임.Dognition에서 제공하는 심층적인 결과 설명을 읽고 나면 Socialite(사회형)라는 용어가 왜 붙었는지 이해하게 됨.Anti-social(반사회적)의 정의: 개가 얼마나 수줍어하는지, 심지어 얼마나 공격적인지를 측정하는 척도.Social abilities(사회적 능력)의 정의: 개가 반려인과 사회적인 방식으로 얼마나 잘 협력하는지를 측정하는 척도.Toolkit(툴킷)의 Communication(의사소통) 섹션에서, 어떤 개는 낯선 대상에게 수줍음을 타거나 공격적일 수 있지만, 인간의 제스처(human gestures)를 읽어내는 능력은 매우 뛰어날 수 있음.DognitionSocial aversionSocial strategiesAnti-social Socialite(반사회적 사회형 개)를 키우고 있다면, 그 반려견은 수줍음이나 두려움이 자신의 진정한 지능(genius)을 가로막게 두지 않는 개임.Social problem-solving strategies(사회적 문제 해결 전략)를 보유하고 있음.Dognition은 anxiety(불안), aggression(공격성), shyness(수줍음)에 관한 데이터를 수집 중이며, 이는 현재 부족한 해당 분야의 과학적 연구에 기여할 것임.Dognition의 목표: 조만간 "Anti-Social Socialite(반사회적 사회형 개)"라는 역설적인 현상을 명확히 밝혀내는 것.The Yellow Dog Project(옐로우 독 프로젝트)는 공간(거리가 필요한)이 필요한 개들을 위한 최선의 해결책임.yellow ribbon(노란 리본)을 묶어둘 것.yellow ribbon(노란 리본)을 시도해볼 것.Anti-social Socialite(반사회적 사회형 개)적 특성을 배려하는 것은 반려견에게 고마운 일이 될 것임.Back to home Home Blog Yellow Dogs and the Anti-Social Socialites Back to all posts Dog Love The Dognition Experience Yellow Dogs and the Anti-Social Socialites Dognition March 26, 2013 Share this story X LinkedIn Facebook Copy link We’ve heard from some owners who have completed Dognition Assessment Toolkit with their dogs that they were initially a little surprised that their dog is a Socialite. When these owners think of the way their dog acts around strangers and new dogs, their Socialites seems anything but social. But once they read the in-depth description of our findings, the name Socialite begins to make sense. Anti-Social yet Pro-Social There’s a big difference between being uncomfortable in social situations and being non-social. Anti-social measures how shy, or even aggressive a dog is, while social abilities measure how good they are at cooperating with their owners in a social way. For instance, in the Communication section in the Toolkit, a dog can be shy, or even aggressive, but awesome at reading human gestures. We’re measuring your dog’s social strategies rather than his or her social aversion. So if you’ve got an anti-social Socialite, you’ve got a dog who didn’t let shyness or fear overcome his or her real genius. Instead, your dog has a remarkable set of social problem-solving strategies, which is something few other species have. Aggression, Shyness, Anxiety, and Dognition Right now, there is very little science about why some dogs get nervous or aggressive in strange situations. But Dognition is collecting data on anxiety, aggression and shyness that will add to the sparse science that exists on the topic. Our hope is that we’ll soon be able to shed light on the paradox of the “Anti-Social Socialite”. The Yellow Dog Project You’ve probably noticed that even anxious dogs are capable of warming up to new people and other dogs. And once they do, they show the same remarkable social skills that they use every day with the people they share their lives with. But until your anxious dog has a chance to make new friends, how can you tell strangers that it’s not OK to come running to you with their dog? The Yellow Dog Project is the best solution we’ve seen for dogs who need a little space. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, in training, or just not into socializing with strangers, tie a yellow ribbon around his or her leash. This will tell other people that your dog needs a little space. One day, we hope to be able to make suggestion based in science, but until then, try a yellow ribbon. Your anti-social Socialite will thank you.
