Naturally Pets Canine Centre Positive ethos using understanding of natural behaviour. 25yrs exp, fully qual, vet n rescue recommended

Here at Naturally Pets we believe in looking at how pets have evolved to learn and behave in their natural environments. Most training or behaviour problems we help owners & professionals overcome with their pets stem from a clash between this natural behaviour and behaviour that is appropriate in the human world. We overcome this clash by using a variety of training techniques, to show our pets h

ow to behave appropriately in any given situation and support them emotionally when they become stressed or overwhelmed. We show owners how to become ‘resource relevant’ to their pets in a fun but effective way. Rules for sharing and co-operation are encouraged, to develop an understanding, rewarding relationship. Our goal is to encourage cooperation and develop a genuine friendship, using a 'force free' approach.

So proud of my guys! Heard a commotion in lounge, saw they were chasing a poor little blue tit around! 😱 ( realistic reenactment depicted below 🤣) I asked them to stop and leave the room so I could open doors and windows to let it out safely - and they listened straight away 🥰 didn't need to touch them at all 🥰
Not saying I'll b leaving them unattended on a farm any time soon, but I've never used a prong or shock collar on these guys and never will, and it's just nice to have affirmed that you don't need to use nasty aversives to stop predatory behaviour 🥰

Abutiu: un compagno per l’eternità

Il primo cane di cui conosciamo il nome è vissuto migliaia di anni fa nell’antico Egitto e si chiamava Abuwtiyuw, o Abutiu.
Nel 1935, l’egittologo George A. Reisner rinviene una tavola calcarea lunga circa mezzo metro, in una tomba risalente forse al 2280 a.C. circa, una màstaba della VI Dinastia, sita nella Necropoli di Giza: probabilmente la tavola era stata riutilizzata per la costruzione di una tomba successiva, infatti non è stato possibile trovare né la tomba vera e propria del cane né la sua mummia. L’incisione tradotta da Reisner recita più o meno queste parole:
“Era il cane da guardia di Sua Maestà, il suo nome era Abuwtiyuw. Sua Maestà ha ordinato che venga sepolto con una cerimonia, che riceva una bara proveniente dal tesoro reale, che riceva fine lino in quantità e incenso. Sua Maestà gli ha donato un unguento profumato e ha ordinato che la tomba sia costruita dagli scalpellini. Sua Maestà ha così disposto, affinché (il cane) sia onorato (davanti al grande Dio Anubis).”

È interessante notare che la parola che nel testo indica “cane” è “ṯzm”, quindi si trattava di un cane da caccia, un levriero.
Secondo l’interpretazione di Reisner, la tavola deve essersi trovata nella tomba di un uomo sconosciuto cui il cane era appartenuto. È probabile che si trattasse di una persona vicina al Faraone e che fosse accompagnato dal suo cane nell’esercizio delle sue mansioni quotidiane (forse era una guardia reale o un capocaccia), tanto che il Faraone vi si affezionò e volle rendergli omaggio con una cerimonia degna di una persona di alto rango, affinché il suo “ka” sopravvivesse nell’Aldilà, insieme a quello del suo padrone, per vegliare su di loro per l’eternità.

Nel primo commento trovate il link a Digital Giza (progetto curato dall’Università di Harvard), dove potrete vedere l’immagine della tavola con l’incisione di Abutiu e leggere i relativi articoli scritti da George A. Reisner tra il 1936 e il 1938. 👇
