Waarom geluidstraining bij honden vaak vastloopt en wat er volgens de wetenschap eerst moet gebeuren
|
Hoi Reader, Bijna elke gedragsdeskundige en hondentrainer krijgt ze op een gegeven moment: de honden die in paniek raken van vuurwerk, onweer, verkeer of gewoon een dichtslaande deur. Je werkt met desensitisatie en counterconditionering, je doet alles zorgvuldig, en toch wil het bij sommige honden niet lukken. Meestal ligt dat niet aan de training zelf. Er zit vaak een stap tussen die makkelijk over het hoofd wordt gezien. Daarom heb ik een gratis gids geschreven: Waarom geluidstraining vastloopt, en wat er volgens de wetenschap eerst moet gebeuren. In de gids loop ik met je door: ✅ de vijf redenen waarom geluidstraining zo vaak vastloopt ✅ Waarom training bijna nooit de eerste stap is ✅ een checklist met tien intakevragen die je meteen kunt gebruiken ✅ een voorbeeld casus, met wat er misging en hoe het daarna wél lukte Het is eigenlijk de gids die ik zelf had willen hebben toen ik met deze casussen begon. Alles is natuurlijk wetenschappelijk onderbouwd, maar Geschreven dat je er meteen iets aan hebt.
En als je hem gelezen hebt, hoor ik graag of dit voor jou ook herkenbaar is. Druk gerust op beantwoorden.

Hey Reader, If you are a dog professional, all you want is to improve the welfare of noise-phobic dogs. In a study by Herwijnen et al. (2024) a questionnaire was sent to 3,009 dog owners (and 622 cat owners!) asking about their experiences with fireworks. Here are the key findings from the Study: ✅ Early-life noise exposure reduces the risk of developing noise sensitivity. ✅ Dogs with suboptimal early socialization are more prone to fear loud noises. ✅ Noise sensitivity in dogs often leads to...
Hi Reader, Dogs and humans share much of the brain circuitry that produces fear, anxiety, habits, and impulse control. That's the starting point of a new paper by Floriane Fournier, Suliann Ben Hamed, and Clément Garin, published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in September. They brought together what we currently know about emotional disorders in dogs, and asked a fundamental question: how do you diagnose a mental health problem in an animal that can't tell you how it feels? What...
Hey Reader, When a dog hears a loud bang, the stress system kicks in within seconds. Adrenaline and noradrenaline prepare the body to act, and a little later cortisol follows. But that system doesn’t keep a separate account for every stressor. The dog who barks at every dog on the morning walk, gets startled by the delivery van, sleeps badly because the toddler wakes up three times a night, or has stiff hips nobody has noticed yet is using the same system all day long. In the short term,...
