Dealing With Dogs That Hate
Either Men or Women
Hating men or women is the
most peculiar form of instability you'll find in
dog behavior. They seem to be sweet and happy with one sex and
nervous or
vicious with the other. What form of neurosis causes this we
don't know. What can a dog owner do to make a dog with this
nature
livable?
When dog training to deal with a hate dog behavior in jealous human situations we
first must examine the owner's mind. Has he or she ever had a
grudge against the opposite sex? Did an overpowering
schoolteacher make the young boy's or girl's life a misery? Does
he or she boast that they only get along with men or women?
Alsatians are peculiar in this way and will hate men or women
instinctively if thought transference comes from an owner with a
similar dislike. Many women dog lovers like big guard dogs, and
the big
guard dog thrives in this state of affairs and easily develops a
dislike of the sex the owner wishes to dominate.
Corgis do the same. This has been particularly noted in these two
dog breeds, partly because they are highly intelligent and telepathy
is very marked and partly because the shepherding instinct is uppermost
and they have a natural suspicion of strangers. Correct them
firmly when young and one gets no further trouble. Accept their
suspicious natures, and you will have dogs that hate men or women,
usually women.
Now how do we live with such dogs? The world being what it is, we
can't mix with only one sex. Even husbands or wives are a
necessity, and it is often against the one or the other that the
particular hate is centered. I think the solution is either to
send the dog to be boarded or trained by a person of the sex it hates,
or else get friends of that sex to feed it or take it for walks.
If it shows any signs of being vicious, muzzle it and send it out for a
long walk with the person it dislikes. Greet joyously that person
when he or she returns and praise the dog. Make the person pat
the dog and praise it before saying goodbye and, if possible, give it
its food.
Of course there aren't many good friends who will do this, but I think
that if an advertisement was put in the local newspaper, some dog lover
would respond. It might even help to employ a "dog sitter" of the
hated sex when you go out so that when you are out, the only comfort
the dog would get would be from the sex it dislikes.
Only by being made to tolerate people will it respond. Obviously,
if a female owner has been jilted and hates all men, her dog will
naturally pick up this feeling when the owner is talking to a
man. In many cases, all these faults in dogs can be traced to
some minor mental disturbance of the owner, although the owner may be
unaware of it.
