The "Good Citizen to 4 Paws ®" is a cultural project.
The main objective of this initiative is to re-evaluate the relationship between man and dog in today's society.
In fact, the guidelines of this ambitious project were attributable to a relatively young science: the zooantropologia.
The dog is considered a social value: this is the core of BC4Z ® who wants to radically change the perspective in which the company sees the dog.
Here we mean that a company of people without dogs is a society poorer, not a company with fewer problems, but with fewer opportunities to interact with the world.
Undoubtedly our bustling cities certainly do not represent the ideal habitat for the dog to look good but perhaps are not even for us men. Perhaps more attention to this particular city would lead us to make progress in improving our lifestyle and our urban environments, but that's another story.
The "Good Citizen ® 4-Paws," is not just the responsibility of owners to conduct their precious companions politely in the community, but also many other aspects of the dog world. We say that this program has the ambitious aim of disseminating information, tips, practices and so on at multiple levels.
Although the most striking aspect of this program is the BC4Z ® Test, it was not a part of the project.
Reduce dropouts, improve adoptions, combat stereotypes and urban legends unfounded, concentrate on training, especially on the daily life of the dog and his family rather than exclusively on purely instrumental and performative aspects of the report and so on are the real objectives of the project can be summarized under the name "Good Cited ¬ zen to 4 Paws ®".
Apparently all this may seem an answer the problem of "dangerous dogs" or assumed, but the "Good Citizen to 4 Paws ®" is not intended as a cure for something, as if the goal of a person who decides to live with a dog was to avoid being bitten, but as a way respon ¬ sible and looking to share life with your four-legged friend.
Purpose 'Program "Good Citizen ® 4-paws"
• revaluation of the relationship between man and dog
• social welfare
• incremento culturale
• prevenzione: incidenti, abbandoni, problemi comportamentali
Seguire un percorso di formazione al BC4Z® è importantissimo per ciascun proprietario perchè permette alla coppia cane/conduttore di valoriz¬zare la propria relazione, e di sfruttare, in modo positivo, il contesto nel quale la vivono.
Se da una parte vengono incrementate la socialità, la docilità, l’aspetto collaborativo e la plasticità mentale del cane, dall’altra il proprietario apprende un’educazione corretta al rapporto con il proprio animale, impara a prevenire gli incidenti ed i problemi, to manage the dog at its best, both within the family and in society at home as in the urban context.
Being able to take the dog everywhere also means you can spend more time together and, consequently, to fully enjoy all the benefits of the relationship.
A couple BC4Z ® is able to bridge the difficulties and hardships of life in the city and relate peacefully and in a cor ¬ rectum in everyday life, becoming a model and an incentive for all the other owners.
The BC4Z ® represents municipalities, provincial and regional initiative to promote the welfare of the community because it decreases the feeling of danger and insecurity of citizenship, by motivating, on the contrary, the inclusion and tolerance of dogs.
