ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ian Dunbar - Animal behaviorist
Veterinarian, dog trainer and animal behaviorist Ian Dunbar understands our pets' point of view. By training dog owners in proper conduct (as much as he trains the dogs themselves), he hopes to encourage better relationships with dogs -- not to mention their friends and children, too.

Why you should listen

We may call dogs man's best friend, but according to Dr. Ian Dunbar, humans often fail to reciprocate. Dunbar's decades of research on hierarchical social behavior and aggression in domestic animals truly give him a dog's-eye view of human beings' incomprehensible and spontaneous -- if involuntary -- cruelties.

Dunbar says we might break our unseemly, unflattering habits and usher in an "era of dog-friendly dog training" by coming to understand why dogs do what they do -- Is Fido misbehaving, or just being a dog? -- and the repercussions of our actions toward them. (We might foster better relationships with our fellow humans, too.) His Sirius Dog Training company focuses on training puppies to be playful, yet well-behaved. His second organization, Animalin, promotes games for dogs and puppies at an international level. 

Dunbar has written numerous books, including How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks and The Good Little Dog Book. He has also hosted several award-winning videotapes on puppy and dog training.

Dogs小狗 have interests利益.
0
0
2000
狗狗有自己喜歡的東西。
00:18
They have interest利益 sniffing嗅探 each other, chasing squirrels松鼠.
1
2000
6000
他們喜歡嗅別的狗,也喜歡追松鼠。
00:24
And if we don't make that a reward獎勵 in training訓練, that will be a distraction娛樂.
2
8000
5000
如果我們不在訓練中加入這些當成獎勵,狗狗就會分心。
00:29
It's always sort分類 of struck來襲 me as really a scary害怕 thought
3
13000
5000
我總覺得有些飼主的行為很恐怖,
00:34
that if you see a dog in a park公園, and the owner所有者 is calling調用 it,
4
18000
4000
就是你經常會在公園裡,看到飼主呼喚他的狗,
00:38
and the owner所有者 says, you know, "Puppy小狗, come here, come here,"
5
22000
3000
叫著:「狗狗,過來這裡,過來!」
00:41
and the dog thinks, "Hmm, interesting有趣.
6
25000
3000
狗狗會想:「嗯,還滿好玩的...
00:44
I'm sniffing嗅探 this other dog's小狗 rear end結束, the owner's擁有者 calling調用."
7
28000
4000
我想嗅其他狗的屁股,但是主人在叫我...
00:48
It's a difficult choice選擇, right?
8
32000
2000
好難的決定啊...」對不對?
00:50
Rear end結束, owner所有者. Rear end結束 wins.
9
34000
2000
屁股、主人..屁股贏了。
00:52
I mean, you lose失去.
10
36000
2000
我是說,你輸了。
00:54
You cannot不能 compete競爭 with the environment環境,
11
38000
3000
你不可能和環境對抗,
00:57
if you have an adolescent青少年 dog's小狗 brain.
12
41000
2000
尤其你的狗狗正值青春壯年。
00:59
So, when we train培養, we're always trying to take into account帳戶
13
43000
4000
所以,當我們進行訓練的時候,我們永遠
01:03
the dog's小狗 point of view視圖.
14
47000
2000
必須以狗狗的角度看事情。
01:05
Now, I'm here largely大部分 because
15
49000
2000
我來這裡主要是因為
01:07
there's kind of a rift裂痕 in dog training訓練 at the moment時刻
16
51000
3000
目前的狗狗訓練有問題--
01:10
that -- on one side, we have people who think that you train培養 a dog,
17
54000
4000
一方面,有人認為在訓練狗狗的時候,
01:14
number one, by making製造 up rules規則, human人的 rules規則.
18
58000
4000
第一件事是為狗狗設立規則,也就是人類的規則。
01:18
We don't take the dog's小狗 point of view視圖 into account帳戶.
19
62000
2000
我們完全沒有想到狗狗的看法。
01:20
So the human人的 says, "You're going to act法案 this way, damn該死的 it.
20
64000
3000
人類會說:「你要這樣做,該死!
01:23
We're going to force you to act法案 against反對 your will, to bend彎曲 to our will."
21
67000
4000
我們會強迫你做出違反你意願的事,要照我們的想法做。」
01:27
Then, number two, we keep these rules規則 a secret秘密 from the dog.
22
71000
3000
然後,第二件事--我們不告訴狗狗這些規則是什麼。
01:30
And then number three, now we can punish懲治 the dog
23
74000
3000
第三件事--只要狗狗違反了規定,
01:33
for breaking破壞 rules規則 he didn't even know existed存在.
24
77000
3000
我們就可以處罰狗狗,雖然狗狗完全不知道規則是什麼。
01:36
So you get a little puppy小狗, he comes. His only crime犯罪 is he grew成長.
25
80000
4000
所以當你養了一隻小狗--他唯一的罪過就是長大。
01:40
When he was a little puppy小狗, he puts看跌期權 his paws爪子 on your leg --
26
84000
3000
當他還是一隻小狗的時候,他會把手掌放在你的腳上--
01:43
you know, isn't that nice不錯?
27
87000
2000
你覺得那很棒,不是嗎?
01:45
And you go, "Oh, there's a good boy男孩."
28
89000
2000
你會說:「噢,真是隻乖狗狗。」
01:47
You bend彎曲 down, you pat him -- you reward獎勵 him for jumping跳躍 up.
29
91000
4000
你彎下身,摸摸他--你在獎勵他跳上來。
01:51
His one mistake錯誤 is he's a Tibetan mastiff, and a few少數 months個月 later後來,
30
95000
4000
錯誤就在於他是一隻西藏獒犬,幾個月之後,
01:55
he weighs, you know, 80 pounds英鎊.
31
99000
3000
他變重了,重達80磅。
01:58
Every一切 time he jumps跳躍 up, he gets得到 all sorts排序 of abuse濫用.
32
102000
3000
每次只要他一跳起來,他就會受到各種處罰。
02:01
I mean, it is really very, very scary害怕 the abuse濫用 that dogs小狗 get.
33
105000
5000
我是說,這些處罰真的都很嚇人。
02:06
So, this whole整個 dominance霸主地位 issue問題 -- number one,
34
110000
4000
這是地位的問題--第一,
02:10
what we get in dog training訓練 is this Mickey-Mouse米老鼠 interpretation解釋
35
114000
3000
在對狗狗訓練的時候,我們常將
02:13
of a very complicated複雜 social社會 system系統.
36
117000
3000
非常複雜的社會階級問題簡化,
02:16
And they take this stuff東東 seriously認真地.
37
120000
2000
但是狗狗卻很重視社會階級。
02:18
Male dogs小狗 are very serious嚴重 about a hierarchy等級制度,
38
122000
2000
公狗非常重視階級,
02:20
because it prevents防止 physical物理 fights打架.
39
124000
3000
因為遵守階級制度可以避免不必要的肢體衝突。
02:23
Of course課程, female dogs小狗, bitches母狗, on the other hand,
40
127000
3000
當然,母狗在另一方面
02:26
have several一些 bitch婊子 amendments修訂 to male hierarchical分級 rule規則.
41
130000
3000
也有母狗自己的階級制度。
02:29
The number one is, "I have it, you don't."
42
133000
2000
最明顯的是:「我有,你沒有。」
02:31
And what you will find is a very, very low-ranking低級別 bitch婊子
43
135000
4000
你會發現,最低階層的母狗
02:35
will quite相當 easily容易 keep a bone away from a high-ranking高級 male.
44
139000
4000
會帶著骨頭離最高階層的公狗遠遠的。
02:39
So, we get in dog training訓練 this notion概念 of dominances優勢度,
45
143000
3000
所以,我們在訓練狗狗的時候要注意到階級地位,
02:42
or of the alphaα dog. I'm sure that you've heard聽說 this.
46
146000
3000
或是最強勢的狗--我相信你們都聽過這個理論。
02:45
Dogs小狗 get so abused濫用.
47
149000
2000
狗狗常常受到虐待。
02:47
Dogs小狗, horses馬匹 and humans人類 --
48
151000
2000
狗狗、馬和人類--
02:49
these are the three species種類 which哪一個 are so abused濫用 in life.
49
153000
3000
這三種生物都常受到虐待,
02:52
And the reason原因 is built內置 into their behavior行為 --
50
156000
2000
原因是他們的行為
02:54
is to always come back and apologize道歉.
51
158000
3000
都已經被塑造成就算被虐待,還是會跑回來說抱歉。
02:57
Like, "Oh, I'm sorry you had to beat擊敗 me. I'm really sorry, yes, it's my fault故障."
52
161000
3000
就像「噢,很抱歉你得打我,我真的很對不起,對,全是我的錯。」
03:00
They are just so beatable不可戰勝的,
53
164000
2000
他們表現得很欠打,
03:02
and that's why they get beaten毆打.
54
166000
2000
所以才會被打。
03:04
The poor較差的 puppy小狗 jumps跳躍 up, you open打開 the dog book, what does it say?
55
168000
5000
可憐的小狗跳起來了,你看看馴狗手冊,上面怎麼說?
03:09
"Hold保持 his front面前 paws爪子, squeeze his front面前 paws爪子,
56
173000
2000
「握住他的前腳,捏他的前腳,
03:11
stamp郵票 on his hind feet, squirt噴出 him in the face面對 with lemon檸檬 juice果汁,
57
175000
4000
踩他的後腳,將水槍注入檸檬汁射他的臉,
03:15
hit擊中 him on the head with a rolled-up捲起來 newspaper報紙,
58
179000
2000
把報紙捲起來打他的頭,
03:17
knee膝蓋 him in the chest胸部, flip翻動 him over backwards向後."
59
181000
2000
用膝蓋頂他的胸口,把他向後丟出去。」
03:19
Because he grew成長?
60
183000
2000
只因為他長大了嗎?
03:21
And because he's performing執行 a behavior行為 you've trained熟練 him to do?
61
185000
3000
只因為他做了一個你以前訓練他做的動作嗎?
03:24
This is insanity瘋狂.
62
188000
3000
這簡直是瘋了!
03:27
I ask owners擁有者, "Well, how would you like the dog to greet迎接 you?"
63
191000
3000
我問主人:「嗯,你希望狗狗怎麼迎接你?」
03:30
And people say, "Well, I don't know, to sit, I guess猜測."
64
194000
3000
主人說:「我不知道耶...就坐下好了。」
03:33
I said, "Let's teach him to sit."
65
197000
2000
我說:「我們來教他坐下。」
03:35
And then we give him a reason原因 for sitting坐在.
66
199000
3000
接著我們就給狗狗坐下的理由。
03:39
Because the first stage階段
67
203000
3000
由於第一階段
03:42
is basically基本上 teaching教學 a dog ESLESL.
68
206000
3000
是要教狗狗學會英語,
03:45
I could speak說話 to you and say, "Laytay-chaiLaytay釵, paiseypaisey, paiseypaisey."
69
209000
4000
我可以對你們說:「哩得菜,拍洗,拍洗。」
03:50
Go on, something should happen發生 now.
70
214000
2000
快點,你們要照我說的做啊...
03:52
Why aren't you responding響應? Oh, you don't speak說話 Swahili斯瓦希裡.
71
216000
3000
為什麼你們不照著做?噢,原來你們不會說非洲話啊...
03:55
Well, I've got news新聞 for you.
72
219000
2000
好,那我得告訴你們,
03:57
The dog doesn't speak說話 English英語, or American美國, or Spanish西班牙語, or French法國.
73
221000
5000
狗狗也不會說英語、美語、西班牙語或法語,
04:02
So the first stage階段 in training訓練 is to teach the dog ESLESL,
74
226000
3000
所以第一個階段就是要教狗狗學會英語--
04:05
English英語 as a second第二 language語言.
75
229000
2000
把英語當成第二種語言。
04:07
And that's how we use the food餐飲 lure in the hand,
76
231000
2000
我們會把食物藏在手裡引誘狗狗,
04:09
and we use food餐飲 because we're dealing交易 with owners擁有者.
77
233000
3000
我們用食物來教狗狗是為了讓飼主學習,
04:12
My wife妻子 doesn't need food餐飲 -- she's a great trainer訓練者,
78
236000
2000
我太太就不需要用食物,她是很棒的馴狗師,
04:14
much better than I am.
79
238000
1000
比我厲害多了。
04:15
I don't need food餐飲, but the average平均 owner所有者 says,
80
239000
3000
我也不需要食物,但是一般的飼主會說:
04:18
"Puppy小狗, sit."
81
242000
2000
「狗狗,坐下。」
04:20
Or they go, "Sit, sit, sit."
82
244000
2000
或是說:「坐下,坐下,坐下。」
04:22
They're making製造 a hand signal信號 in front面前 of the dog's小狗 rectum直腸 for some reason原因,
83
246000
3000
不知道為了什麼,他們的手勢總是指在小狗的腸子前面,
04:25
like the dog has a third第三 eye there -- it's insane.
84
249000
3000
好像小狗有第三隻眼睛似的--真是瘋了!
04:28
You know, "Sit, sit."
85
252000
2000
就像:「坐下,坐下。」
04:30
No, we go, "Puppy小狗, sit" -- boom繁榮, it's got it in six to 10 trials試驗.
86
254000
4000
不對,應該要這樣:「小狗,坐下。」碰!只要試六到十次小狗就學會了。
04:34
Then we phase out the food餐飲 as a lure,
87
258000
2000
然後我們捨棄食物做為誘餌,
04:36
and now the dog knows知道 that "sit" means手段 sit,
88
260000
2000
因為狗狗已經知道「坐下」代表的意義,
04:38
and you can actually其實 communicate通信 to a dog
89
262000
2000
這才是真正地以英語
04:40
in a perfectly完美 constructed English英語 sentence句子.
90
264000
2000
和狗狗進行溝通。
04:42
"Phoenix鳳凰, come here, take this, and go to Jamie傑米, please."
91
266000
4000
「菲妮,過來,拿這個,去找傑米,拜託你了。」
04:46
And I've taught her "Phoenix鳳凰," "come here," "take this," "go to"
92
270000
3000
因為我有教過她「菲妮」、「過來」、「拿這個」、「去找」,
04:49
and the name名稱 of my son兒子, "Jamie傑米."
93
273000
2000
還有我兒子的名字「傑米」,
04:51
And the dog can take a note注意,
94
275000
2000
所以狗狗就會拿著這張紙條,
04:53
and I've got my own擁有 little search-and-rescue搜尋及救援 dog.
95
277000
2000
就像我個人的小型搜救犬一樣,
04:55
He'll地獄 find Jamie傑米 wherever哪裡 he is, you know,
96
279000
2000
不論傑米在哪裡,她都會找到他,
04:57
wherever哪裡 kids孩子 are, crushing破碎 rocks岩石 by a stream or something,
97
281000
2000
不管小孩在哪裡,在院子裡搞破壞也好,
04:59
and take him a little message信息 that says,
98
283000
2000
她都會給他這張小紙條:
05:01
"Hey, dinner's晚餐的 ready準備. Come in for dinner晚餐."
99
285000
3000
「嘿,晚餐好了,進來吃飯。」
05:04
So, at this point, the dog knows知道 what we want it to do.
100
288000
3000
在那個時點上,狗狗知道我們要牠做什麼,
05:07
Will it do it?
101
291000
2000
牠會不會去做?
05:09
Not necessarily一定, no.
102
293000
2000
不一定哦...
05:11
As I said, if he's in the park公園 and there's a rear end結束 to sniff吸氣,
103
295000
3000
就像我說的,如果牠在公園裡玩,還有別的狗屁股可以嗅,
05:14
why come to the owner所有者?
104
298000
2000
會什麼要回來找主人?
05:16
The dog lives生活 with you, the dog can get you any time.
105
300000
3000
牠和你住在一起,隨時都看得到你,
05:19
The dog can sniff吸氣 your butt屁股, if you like, when he wants to.
106
303000
3000
想要的話,也可以嗅你的屁股,只要你不介意;
05:22
At the moment時刻, he's in the park公園, and you are competing競爭
107
306000
2000
但是在公園裡,你要和其他的氣味競爭,
05:24
with smells氣味, and other dogs小狗, and squirrels松鼠.
108
308000
3000
還有其他的狗狗,還有松鼠。
05:27
So the second第二 stage階段 in training訓練 is to teach the dog to want to do
109
311000
4000
所以第二階段是要教狗狗自願地
05:31
what we want him to do, and this is very easy簡單.
110
315000
3000
做我們要他做的事,這非常簡單,
05:34
We use the Premack普雷馬克 principle原理.
111
318000
2000
只要採用普立麥原則就可以做到。
05:36
Basically基本上, we follow跟隨 a low-frequency低頻 behavior行為 --
112
320000
2000
基本上,我們將出現頻率很低的行為--
05:38
one the dog doesn't want to do --
113
322000
2000
就是狗狗不喜歡做的事--
05:40
by a high-frequency高頻 behavior行為, commonly常用 known已知 as a behavior行為 problem問題,
114
324000
4000
排在出現頻率很高的行為之前,這些行為我們有時稱為「問題行為」
05:44
or a dog hobby愛好 -- something the dog does like to do.
115
328000
4000
或是「狗狗的嗜好」--也就是狗狗喜歡做的事。
05:48
That will then become成為 a reward獎勵 for the lower-frequency較低頻率 behavior行為.
116
332000
3000
這樣的安排會鼓勵狗狗去做原本不喜歡做的事。
05:51
So we go, "sit," on the couch長椅; "sit," tummy-rub趴著擦; "sit,"
117
335000
4000
我說「坐下」,讓狗躺在沙發上;「坐下」,摸摸他的肚子;「坐下」,
05:55
look, I throw a tennis網球 ball; "sit," say hello你好 to that other dog.
118
339000
4000
看,我把網球丟出去;「坐下」,讓狗狗和其他狗打招呼。
05:59
Yes, we put "sniff吸氣 butt屁股" on queue隊列.
119
343000
2000
對,我們把「嗅屁股」放在最後,
06:01
"Sit," sniff吸氣 butt屁股.
120
345000
2000
「坐下」,讓狗嗅別的狗的屁股。
06:03
So now all of these distractions分心 that worked工作 against反對 training訓練
121
347000
4000
原來在訓練過程會造成分心的動作,
06:07
now become成為 rewards獎勵 that work for training訓練.
122
351000
3000
現在都成了幫助訓練的獎勵。
06:10
And what we're doing, in essence本質, is we're teaching教學 the dog, kind of like --
123
354000
5000
現在我們所做的,本質上有點像在教狗狗--
06:15
we're letting出租 the dog think that the dog is training訓練 us.
124
359000
3000
我們讓狗狗以為是狗狗在訓練我們。
06:18
And I can imagine想像 this dog, you know,
125
362000
2000
我可以想像這隻狗
06:20
speaking請講 through通過 the fence籬笆 to, say, an Akita秋田,
126
364000
2000
隔著籬笆對一隻秋田犬說:
06:22
saying, "Wow, my owners擁有者, they are so incredibly令人難以置信 easy簡單 to train培養.
127
366000
4000
「哇,我的主人,他們真的很容易訓練,
06:26
They're like Golden金色 Retrievers獵犬.
128
370000
2000
就像黃金獵犬一樣,
06:28
All I have to do is sit, and they do everything.
129
372000
2000
我只要坐下,來他們就會做好所有的事。
06:30
They open打開 doors, they drive駕駛 my car汽車, they massage按摩 me,
130
374000
4000
他們會幫我開門、幫我開車、幫我按摩、
06:34
they will throw tennis網球 balls,
131
378000
2000
丟網球給我玩,
06:36
they will cook廚師 for me and serve服務 the food餐飲.
132
380000
2000
還會煮飯給我吃。
06:38
It's like, if I just sit, that's my command命令.
133
382000
3000
就好像只要我一坐下,他們就會聽我的命令,
06:41
Then I have my own擁有 personal個人 doorman看門人,
134
385000
2000
我像有自己的門房、
06:43
chauffeur司機, masseuse按摩師, chef廚師 and waiter服務員."
135
387000
4000
司機、按摩師、廚師和服務生一樣。」
06:47
And now the dog's小狗 really happy快樂.
136
391000
2000
狗狗可真的得意了。
06:49
And this, to me, is always what training訓練 is.
137
393000
2000
這對我來說,就是訓練,
06:51
So we really motivate刺激 the dog to want to do it,
138
395000
3000
我們讓狗狗自願做我們要他做的事,
06:54
such這樣 that the need for punishment懲罰 seldom很少 comes up.
139
398000
5000
這樣就不會需要處罰狗狗了。
06:59
Now we move移動 to phase three, when now --
140
403000
3000
接下來是第三階段,
07:02
there's times, you know, when daddy knows知道 best最好.
141
406000
2000
你知道,有時候就是得用「老爸懂得比你多」這一招。
07:04
And I have a little sign標誌 on my fridge冰箱, and it says,
142
408000
3000
我在冰箱上貼了一張小紙條,上面寫:
07:07
"Because I'm the daddy, that's why."
143
411000
2000
「因為我是你老爸,就是這樣!」
07:09
Sorry, no more explanation說明. "I'm the daddy, you're not. Sit."
144
413000
4000
對不起,我不想解釋那麼多--「我是老爸,你不是,坐下!」
07:13
And there's times, for example,
145
417000
2000
舉例來說,有時候
07:15
if my son's兒子 friends朋友 leave離開 the door open打開,
146
419000
3000
我兒子的朋友忘了把門關上,
07:18
the dogs小狗 have to know you don't step across橫過 this line.
147
422000
4000
狗狗就必須知道不能跨越那條線,
07:22
This is a life-or-death生或死 thing.
148
426000
2000
那是攸關生死的事情。
07:24
You leave離開 this, the sanctity尊嚴 of your house,
149
428000
3000
你只要離開這棟神聖的房子,
07:27
and you could be hit擊中 on the street.
150
431000
2000
就可能在街上被車子撞倒。
07:29
So some things we have to let the dog know,
151
433000
2000
所以有些事情我們必須清楚地讓狗狗知道,
07:31
"You mustn't不得 do this."
152
435000
2000
「你不可以這樣做。」
07:33
And so we have to enforce執行, but without force.
153
437000
5000
我們必須加強狗狗的觀念,但不要使用暴力。
07:38
People here get very confused困惑 about what a punishment懲罰 is.
154
442000
4000
人們常常搞不清楚處罰的定義是什麼,
07:42
They think a punishment懲罰 is something nasty討厭.
155
446000
2000
他們以為處罰都是很暴力的,
07:44
I bet賭注 a lot of you do, right?
156
448000
2000
我猜你們都這樣想,對不對?
07:46
You think it's something painful痛苦, or scary害怕, or nasty討厭.
157
450000
3000
你們以為處罰會很痛、很恐怖,還很暴力。
07:49
It doesn't have to be.
158
453000
2000
其實不必如此。
07:51
There's several一些 definitions定義 of what a punishment懲罰 is,
159
455000
3000
處罰的定義有很多種,
07:54
but one definition定義, the most popular流行, is:
160
458000
2000
最普遍的定義是--
07:56
a punishment懲罰 is a stimulus刺激物 that reduces減少 the immediately立即 preceding behavior行為,
161
460000
5000
處罰是一種手段,可以減少先前不正確的行為
08:01
such這樣 that it's less likely容易 to occur發生 in the future未來.
162
465000
4000
在未來發生的機率。
08:05
It does not have to be nasty討厭, scary害怕 or painful痛苦.
163
469000
5000
處罰不一定要很暴力、很恐怖,或是很痛苦。
08:10
And I would say, if it doesn't have to be, then maybe it shouldn't不能 be.
164
474000
5000
我認為,如果不一定要這樣,那就根本不需要這樣。
08:15
I was working加工 with a very dangerous危險 dog about a year ago.
165
479000
3000
一年前我曾訓練過一隻非常危險的狗狗--
08:18
And this was a dog that put both his owners擁有者 in hospital醫院,
166
482000
3000
他把他的二個主人都送到醫院去了,
08:21
plus the brother-in-law長者的意思是鐵則, plus the child兒童.
167
485000
2000
外加主人的姐夫,還有小孩。
08:23
And I only agreed約定 to work with it if they promised許諾 it would stay in their house,
168
487000
3000
我同意訓練那隻狗,但我要求他們得讓狗狗待在屋子裡,
08:26
and they never took it outside.
169
490000
2000
他們照辦了,沒有帶他出門。
08:28
The dog is actually其實 euthanized安樂死 now,
170
492000
2000
那隻狗現在已經被安樂死了,
08:30
but this was a dog I worked工作 with for a while.
171
494000
2000
但我曾經訓練過他一陣子。
08:32
A lot of the aggression侵略 happened發生 around the kitchen廚房,
172
496000
3000
很多狗狗的攻擊事件發生在廚房裡,
08:35
so while I was there -- this was on the fourth第四 visit訪問 --
173
499000
3000
所以當我第四次拜訪這戶人家時,
08:38
we did a four and a half hour小時 down-stay下留, with the dog on his mat.
174
502000
3000
我們做了一次長達四個半鐘頭的訓練,讓狗狗待在自己的墊子上。
08:41
And he was kept不停 there by the owner's擁有者 calm冷靜 insistence堅持.
175
505000
5000
主人以平和的毅力,讓狗狗待在墊子上。
08:46
When the dog would try to leave離開 the mat,
176
510000
2000
當狗狗想要離開墊子時,
08:48
she would say, "Rover流浪者, on the mat, on the mat, on the mat."
177
512000
4000
她會說:「羅夫,待在墊子上,待在墊子上,待在墊子上。」
08:52
The dog broke打破 his down-stay下留 22 times in four and a half hours小時, while she cooked dinner晚餐,
178
516000
5000
狗狗在那四個半小時裡,曾經有22次嚐試要站起來,因為主人在煮晚餐,
08:57
because we had a lot of aggression侵略 related有關 towards food餐飲.
179
521000
4000
所以狗狗常會衝向食物,
09:01
The breaks休息 got fewer and fewer.
180
525000
2000
但是衝動愈來愈少,
09:03
You see, the punishment懲罰 was working加工.
181
527000
3000
這就是處罰發揮了效果。
09:06
The behavior行為 problem問題 was going away.
182
530000
2000
問題行為不見了,
09:08
She never raised上調 her voice語音.
183
532000
2000
主人也不必再提高音量;
09:10
If she did, she would have got bitten被咬.
184
534000
3000
如果主人大聲吼叫,她可能又會被咬,
09:13
It's not a good dog you shout at.
185
537000
2000
你不能對這種狗狗吼叫。
09:15
And a lot of my friends朋友 train培養 really neat整齊 animals動物,
186
539000
3000
我有許多朋友訓練的是很棒的動物--
09:18
grizzly灰熊 bears -- if you've ever seen看到 a grizzly灰熊 bear
187
542000
2000
灰棕熊,如果你曾在電視上
09:20
on the telly電視中 or in film電影, then it's a friend朋友 of mine who's誰是 trained熟練 it --
188
544000
3000
或是電影裡看過灰棕熊,那就是我的朋友訓練的。
09:23
killer兇手 whales鯨魚. I love it because it wires電線 you up.
189
547000
3000
還有殺人鯨--我很喜歡這種動物,它會繞著你游泳。
09:26
How are you going to reprimand懲戒 a grizzly灰熊 bear?
190
550000
2000
你會怎麼訓斥一頭灰棕熊?
09:28
"Bad bear, bad bear!" VoomVOOM!
191
552000
2000
「壞熊熊,壞熊熊!」砰!
09:30
Your head now is 100 yards away, sailing帆船 through通過 the air空氣, OK?
192
554000
5000
你的頭會飛到天上,飛到100碼以外去,知道嗎?
09:35
This is crazy.
193
559000
2000
這很恐怖。
09:37
So, where do we go from here?
194
561000
2000
那我們該怎麼做?
09:39
We want a better way.
195
563000
2000
我們要用一種更好的方式
09:41
Dogs小狗 deserve值得 better.
196
565000
2000
去對待狗狗。
09:43
But for me, the reason原因 for this actually其實 has to do with dogs小狗.
197
567000
4000
但對我來說,這樣做的原因和狗狗有關,
09:47
It has to do with watching觀看 people train培養 puppies小狗,
198
571000
3000
和我觀察人們訓練狗狗有關,
09:50
and realizing實現 they have horrendous可怕的 interaction相互作用 skills技能,
199
574000
5000
我發覺人類的互動技巧很差,
09:55
horrendous可怕的 relationship關係 skills技能.
200
579000
2000
建立關係的技巧也很差。
09:57
Not just with their puppy小狗, but with the rest休息 of the family家庭 at class.
201
581000
4000
不只是和狗狗相處有問題,和其他家庭成員相處也有問題。
10:01
I mean, my all-time整天 classic經典 is another另一個 "come here" one.
202
585000
3000
我舉另一個經典的「過來」案例來說明,
10:04
You see someone有人 in the park公園 -- and I'll cover my micMIC when I say this,
203
588000
3000
你在公園會看到某人--我把麥克風遮起來,
10:07
because I don't want to wake喚醒 you up -- and there's the owner所有者 in the park公園,
204
591000
3000
因為我不想把你們吵醒--主人在公園裡,
10:10
and their dog's小狗 over here, and they say, "Rover流浪者, come here.
205
594000
2000
而狗狗在這裡,然後主人說:「羅夫,過來。
10:12
Rover流浪者, come here. Rover流浪者, come here, you son兒子 of a bitch婊子."
206
596000
3000
羅夫,過來。羅夫,過來,你這婊子養的。」
10:16
The dog says, "I don't think so."
207
600000
2000
狗狗會說:「我可不這麼想。」
10:18
(Laughter笑聲)
208
602000
1000
(笑聲)
10:19
I mean, who in their right mind心神
209
603000
3000
我是說,有哪一個正常人
10:22
would think that a dog would want to approach途徑 them
210
606000
3000
會認為在他們那樣叫喊之後,
10:25
when they're screaming尖叫 like that?
211
609000
2000
狗狗還會願意跑回來的?
10:27
Instead代替, the dog says, "I know that tone. I know that tone.
212
611000
3000
狗狗反而會想:「哦,我記得那個聲音,我記得,
10:30
Previously先前, when I've approached接近, I've gotten得到 punished處罰 there."
213
614000
3000
上次我回到主人身邊,就被教訓了一頓。」
10:33
I was walking步行 onto a plane平面 --
214
617000
2000
有一次我搭飛機--
10:35
this, for me, was a pivotal關鍵的 moment時刻 in my career事業,
215
619000
3000
那是我職業生涯裡的一個關鍵時刻,
10:38
and it really cemented凝成 what I wanted to do
216
622000
2000
那次的經驗讓我把我想做的事
10:40
with this whole整個 puppy-training小狗訓練 thing,
217
624000
2000
與訓練狗狗結合在一起了--
10:42
the notion概念 of how to teach puppies小狗 in a dog-friendly狗友好 way
218
626000
4000
我主張以對狗狗較友善的方式來訓練狗狗,
10:46
to want to do what we want to do, so we don't have to force them.
219
630000
3000
讓他們去做我們要他們做的事,而不需要強迫他們去做。
10:49
You know, I puppy-train小狗列車 my child兒童.
220
633000
3000
你們知道嗎?我也是這樣訓練我的小孩。
10:52
And the seminal moment時刻 was, I was getting得到 on a plane平面 in Dallas達拉斯,
221
636000
3000
那個關鍵時刻發生在我在達拉斯搭飛機的時候,
10:55
and in row two was a father父親, I presume假設, and a young年輕 boy男孩 about five,
222
639000
4000
第二排坐了一位父親,我自己猜想的,和一個年約五歲的男孩,
10:59
kicking the back of the chair椅子.
223
643000
2000
小男孩正在踢前座的椅背。
11:01
"Johnny約翰尼, don't do that."
224
645000
2000
「強尼,不要這樣。」
11:03
Kick, kick, kick.
225
647000
1000
踢、踢、踢。
11:04
"Johnny約翰尼, don't do that." Kick, kick, kick.
226
648000
2000
「強尼,不要這樣。」踢、踢、踢。
11:06
I'm standing常設 right here with my bag.
227
650000
2000
我正好拿著行李站在旁邊,
11:08
The father父親 leans斜靠 over, grabs爭奪 him like this and gives him ugly醜陋 face面對.
228
652000
4000
那個父親就彎身下去,抓住小男孩,給他一個恐怖的表情,
11:12
And ugly醜陋 face面對 is this --
229
656000
2000
那個表情就像--
11:14
when you go face-to-face面對面 with a puppy小狗 or a child兒童,
230
658000
3000
當你和小孩或小狗面對面的時候,
11:17
you say, "What are you doing! Now stop it, stop it, stop it!"
231
661000
3000
你說:「你在做什麼!現在停止,停止,停止!」
11:20
And I went, "Oh my God, do I do something?"
232
664000
3000
然後我會想:「噢,天啊,我做了什麼不該做的事嗎?」
11:23
That child兒童 has lost丟失 everything --
233
667000
3000
那個小孩失去了一切--
11:26
that one of the two people he can trust相信 in this world世界
234
670000
3000
他失去了這個世界上他可以信任的二個人的其中一人,
11:29
has absolutely絕對 pulled the rug地毯 from under his feet.
235
673000
3000
那個人把毯子從他的腳下抽走,害他跌倒了。
11:32
And I thought, "Do I tell this jerk混蛋 to quit放棄 it?"
236
676000
2000
然後我想:「我該告訴這個混蛋不要這樣做嗎?」
11:34
I thought, "Ian伊恩, stay out of it, stay out of it, you know, walk步行 on."
237
678000
3000
我心裡的聲音說:「伊恩,不要管,不要管,走就是了。」
11:37
I walked to the back of the plane平面,
238
681000
2000
我走到飛機的後半部,
11:39
I satSAT down, and a thought came來了 to me.
239
683000
3000
坐下,然後想到了一個念頭,
11:42
If that had been a dog, I would have laid鋪設 him out.
240
686000
2000
如果那是一隻狗,我會讓他乖乖躺平在地上;
11:44
(Laughter笑聲)
241
688000
1000
(笑聲)
11:45
If he had kicked a dog, I would have punched him out.
242
689000
4000
如果那人敢踢狗狗,我會掌他個幾拳;
11:49
He kicked a child兒童, grabs爭奪 the child兒童 like this and I let it go.
243
693000
5000
但他踢了個小孩,還把小孩抓住,我卻放過了他。
11:54
And this is what it's all about.
244
698000
3000
這就是我要說的,
11:57
These relationship關係 skills技能 are so easy簡單.
245
701000
2000
我們所用來建立關係的技巧都太膚淺,
11:59
I mean, we as humans人類, our shallowness淺薄 when we choose選擇 a life-mate生活伴侶
246
703000
5000
我是說,我們身為人類,我們以膚淺的方式選擇伴侶,
12:04
based基於 on the three Cs -- coat塗層 color顏色, conformation結構, cuteness可愛.
247
708000
4000
只看三個「外」--外套顏色、外形和外表,
12:08
You know, kind of like a little robot機器人.
248
712000
2000
就有點像是機器人一樣。
12:10
This is how we go into a relationship關係, and it's hunky-dory沒說的 for a year.
249
714000
3000
這就是我們建立關係的方法,在第一年還好用得不得了。
12:13
And then, a little behavior行為 problem問題 comes up.
250
717000
2000
接下來就開始出現一些小小的問題行為,
12:15
No different不同 from the dog barking叫聲.
251
719000
2000
和狗狗吠叫差不了多少,
12:17
The husband丈夫 won't慣於 clear明確 up his clothes衣服,
252
721000
2000
丈夫不肯收拾自己的衣物,
12:19
or the wife's妻子 always late晚了 for meetings會議, whatever隨你 it is, OK?
253
723000
4000
或是太太總是遲到這一類的,對不對?
12:23
And it then starts啟動, and we get into this thing,
254
727000
4000
然後爭吵開始,我們陷入了紛爭,
12:27
and our personal個人 feedback反饋 -- there's two things about it.
255
731000
2000
我們的個人反應--有二種反應,
12:29
When you watch people interacting互動 with animals動物 or other people,
256
733000
3000
當你觀察一個人和動物或其他人的互動時,
12:32
there is very little feedback反饋, it's too infrequent罕見的.
257
736000
4000
對方很少有反應,或根本不反應,
12:36
And when it happens發生, it's bad, it's nasty討厭.
258
740000
3000
一旦對方有反應,就是不好的反應,暴力行為就會出現。
12:39
You see it's especially特別 in families家庭, especially特別 with spouses配偶,
259
743000
5000
這些行為尤其在家人、配偶、
12:44
especially特別 with children孩子, especially特別 with parents父母.
260
748000
3000
小孩和父母親身上特別明顯。
12:47
You see it especially特別 in the workplace職場,
261
751000
2000
在工作場合也觀察得到,
12:49
especially特別 from boss老闆 to employee僱員.
262
753000
2000
尤其是主管對部屬的態度。
12:51
It's as if there's some schadenfreude幸災樂禍 there,
263
755000
3000
這好像有點幸災樂禍--
12:54
that we actually其實 take delight in people getting得到 things wrong錯誤,
264
758000
3000
當我們看到別人犯錯的時候,都會暗自竊喜,
12:57
so that we can then moan呻吟 and groan呻吟 and bitch婊子 at them.
265
761000
5000
我們還會藉機咒罵那些犯錯的人。
13:02
And this, I would say, is the biggest最大 human人的 foible怪癖 that we have.
266
766000
4000
我會說,這是人類最大的缺點。
13:06
It really is.
267
770000
2000
真的是這樣。
13:08
We take the good for granted理所當然, and we moan呻吟 and groan呻吟 at the bad.
268
772000
3000
我們把好事視為理所當然,咒罵那些壞事。
13:11
And I think this whole整個 notion概念 of these skills技能 should be taught.
269
775000
3000
我認為我們應該教導這些技巧--
13:14
You know, calculus結石 is wonderful精彩.
270
778000
2000
你知道,微積分很神奇,
13:16
When I was a kid孩子, I was a calculus結石 whiz呼嘯.
271
780000
2000
當我年輕的時候,我對微積分很著迷,
13:18
I don't understand理解 a thing about it now, but I could do it as a kid孩子.
272
782000
3000
我現在完全看不懂微積分了,但我年輕的時候看得懂,
13:22
Geometry幾何, fantastic奇妙. You know, quantum量子 mechanics機械學 --
273

幾何也很棒,還有量子機械學--
13:25
these are cool things.
274
789000
2000
這些都很酷。
13:27
But they don't save保存 marriages婚姻 and they don't raise提高 children孩子.
275
791000
4000
但這些學問拯救不了婚姻,也不能養育小孩。
13:31
And my look to the future未來 is,
276
795000
2000
我對未來的看法是,
13:33

280
808000
2000
你的小孩也很容易訓練,
13:46
All you've got to do is to watch them,
281
810000
2000
你要做的就是去觀察他們,
13:48
to time-sample時間樣本 the behavior行為, and say, every一切 five minutes分鐘,
282
812000
2000
記錄他們的行為樣本,例如每五分鐘
13:50
you ask the question, "Is it good, or is it bad?"
283
814000
3000
你就自問:「他這種表現是好還是不好?」
13:53
If it's good, say, "That was really neat整齊, thank you."
284
817000
3000
如果表現得不錯,就稱讚他們:「做得很棒,謝謝!」
13:56
That is such這樣 a powerful強大 training訓練 technique技術.
285
820000
2000
這是很有效的訓練方法,
13:58
This should be taught in schools學校.
286
822000
2000
我們應該推廣到學校去,
14:00
Relationships關係 -- how do you negotiate談判?
287
824000
2000
關係本身就是一門學問--你怎麼協商?
14:02

How on earth地球 about raising提高 children孩子?
290
832000
2000
到底要怎麼教養小孩?
14:10
We think how we do it -- one night in bed, we're pregnant,
291
834000
2000
當我們還在思考的時候,有一天我們就懷孕了,
14:12
and then we're raising提高 the most important重要 thing in life, a child兒童.
292
836000
3000
然後我們就開始養育生命中最重要的東西--小孩。
14:15
No, this is what should be taught -- the good living活的, the good habits習慣,
293
839000
5000
不對,我們應該要教的是:好的生活取決於好的習慣,
14:20
which哪一個 are just as hard to break打破 as bad habits習慣.
294
844000
4000
好習慣就像壞習慣一樣難以戒除。
14:24
So, that would be my wish希望 to the future未來.
295
848000
2000
這就是我對未來的願望。
14:26

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ian Dunbar - Animal behaviorist
Veterinarian, dog trainer and animal behaviorist Ian Dunbar understands our pets' point of view. By training dog owners in proper conduct (as much as he trains the dogs themselves), he hopes to encourage better relationships with dogs -- not to mention their friends and children, too.

Why you should listen

We may call dogs man's best friend, but according to Dr. Ian Dunbar, humans often fail to reciprocate. Dunbar's decades of research on hierarchical social behavior and aggression in domestic animals truly give him a dog's-eye view of human beings' incomprehensible and spontaneous -- if involuntary -- cruelties.

Dunbar says we might break our unseemly, unflattering habits and usher in an "era of dog-friendly dog training" by coming to understand why dogs do what they do -- Is Fido misbehaving, or just being a dog? -- and the repercussions of our actions toward them. (We might foster better relationships with our fellow humans, too.) His Sirius Dog Training company focuses on training puppies to be playful, yet well-behaved. His second organization, Animalin, promotes games for dogs and puppies at an international level. 

Dunbar has written numerous books, including How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks and The Good Little Dog Book. He has also hosted several award-winning videotapes on puppy and dog training.
