The Behavior of the Three Pomeranians in Response to the Three Different Settings per Month

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Dogs are man's best friend. We gravitate to touch and cuddle them without knowing that aggression might happen. No matter how appealing and cute they are, their aggression may lead to sickness or worse, death. Aggression is one of the problems in their behavior and can sometimes may not be controlled. The settings on where they are takencared of may be one of the factors of why they behave in such way. The proposed solution is to identify which of the settings will they behave less aggressive by doing a test.This research will help a lot of people, especially dog owners, to help understand dogs and their behaviors.

METHODS

Pomeranians were the chosen breed and three Pomeranians were used as samples to be more precise with the data. The Pomeranians were named Sample A, Sample B, and Sample C. The Pomeranians acclimatized with their surroundings for a week in each setting. Three different settings were used and the first setting was in cage, second was in a leash and the last setting was free inside the house. These settings were named Setup A, Setup B, and Setup C respectively. After the experimentation, the puppies were given to their rightful owners. The observed behaviors were put into an ethogram for the analysis of the total of the results.R

ESULTS

The setting that the three Pomeranians got the most aggressive behavior was being inside the cage while the setting that got the three Pomeranians less aggressive was being leashed and the setting that got the Pomeranian puppies to exhibit the least aggressive behavior was the setting being freed inside the house. Comparing the three Pomeranian puppies named as Sample A, Sample B, and Sample C, the Pomeranian puppy that got the most aggressive given the three months experimentation with the three different setting assigned each month was Sample A while Sample C got the least aggressive, and Sample B was the most friendly out of the three.

DISCUSSIONS

The results given is a proof that a dog's behavior could lead to aggression base on how a person treats its dog and one factor could be the place where it lives. In order to establish a friendly relationship towards its dog, it would be advisable to avoid putting the dog inside a cage or being leashed. It would be the best if it could roam around the house for the dog to feel freedom and for it to be physically fit with good social skills.
