“…An argument for considering dog aggression as the consequence is that corrections are known to elicit aggression, such as seen in when an owner hits/kicks, grabs or shakes the dog (Herron et al, 2009). Also, AUC parenting associates with the propensity to boss over the dog (Van Herwijnen et al, 2020a), which likely results in ofttimes correcting a dog, even before it has developed patterns of (un)desired behaviours.…”

“…AUI parenting associated with owner-dog relationship quality as expected, with AUI type of dog owners feeling closer to the dog and, to a lesser extent, sharing many activities with it. AUI parenting comes with tendencies to humanize the dog (Van Herwijnen et al, 2020a) and such humanizing associated with owners reporting favourably on the interaction with their dog (Vink and Dijkstra, 2019). Perceived closeness and shared activities clearly add to a fulfilling owner-dog relationship.…”

“…We are interested in the possible associations between these owner-dog relationship quality aspects and dog-directed parenting. Dog-directed parenting was previously defined by three styles in a sample of 518 Dutch dog owners (Van Herwijnen et al, 2018b), which were later on linked to dog owners' orientations towards animals (Van Herwijnen et al, 2020a). The authoritarian-correction orientated parenting style (AUC) of high demandingness and use of correctional methods combined with owners bossing over the dog (Van Herwijnen et al, 2018b;Van Herwijnen et al, 2020a).…”

We aim to assess and quantify the associations between these three parenting styles and indicators of the owner-dog relationship quality.…”

My ‘Perfect’ Dog: Undesired Dog Behaviours and Owners’ Coping Styles

Research continues to shed light on the benefits associated with dog ownership. However, we know virtually nothing about how undesired dog behaviours impact young people’s behavioural and perceptive experiences with their dogs. Understanding these impacts is important because it can offer a more nuanced understanding of the effects of dog ownership. This exploratory study applied a qualitative methodology to examine young people’s perceptions about their dog’s behavioural issues, along with a focus on young people’s coping styles. Seven participants aged between 17 and 26 years engaged in semi-structured in-depth one-on-one interviews about their experiences with their dogs and their coping strategies in response to undesired dog behaviours. Thematic coding identified the following salient themes in participants’ responses which were subsequently explored in detail: (1) severity of dogs’ behavioural issues, (2) participants’ coping styles, (3) the relationship between the dog’s behavioural issues and the participant, (4) participants’ emotional reactions, (5) participants’ self-evaluation – insights – of their coping styles, and (6) similarities between participants’ coping styles with humans to whom they are close and those used with their dogs. Findings from this study indicate that young people prefer proactive coping styles when coping with undesired behaviours in their dogs. This study’s findings also indicate that the severity of dogs’ behavioural issues is associated with young people’s emotions (e.g., more severe behavioural issues seem to elicit more intense emotions). The significance of these findings for practice in the field of human-animal interactions is discussed.
