Jenny‘s excitement is serious, filming is impossible due to her abnormal behavior → Skinship training (Three Dogs)

The story of an eccentric pet dog is introduced.

On EBS 1TV’s ‘There Are No Bad Dogs in the World’ (hereafter ‘Three Dogs’), a family‘s story of a day-to-day war due to their dog’s abnormal and eccentric behavior appears.

The dog in question in the report is a 15-month-old Pomeranian named Jenny. Although she has a cute face with a small body weighing 4 kg, she suddenly transforms and attacks hands, causing the whole family to tremble in fear, including her father, mother, and teenage daughter and son.

Furthermore, she does not come when her guardians call her, and when she is put down, she bites her tail and spins around, and when she is taken for a walk, she barks loudly at people and even attacks her guardian who tries to stop her. The family is always tense, not knowing when or for what reason she will attack their hands, like a time bomb that could explode at any moment. Why on earth does Jenny suddenly change and bite her guardians? Can Jenny‘s problem behavior really get better?

The production team of ’Sena Gae‘ received a tip and visited an apartment in Incheon. At first glance, it seems like a harmonious home with a loving father and mother, good sons and daughters, and a lovely pet dog, but the atmosphere suddenly changed, and they were spending each day tense as if walking on thin ice. The reason was Jenny, a Pomeranian, who would suddenly change and attack her guardians’ hands even when she was playing happily.

Jenny would bite when she was petted, would bite when she was hugged after going out, and would act cute next to her, but would suddenly change and attack her guardians‘ hands when they took her hand to show her affection. The family members had bruises on their nails, torn skin, and wounds on their hands that were clearly visible through holes. Jenny’s problematic behavior could explode at any moment, and her father and young son were so afraid that they were reluctant to even approach her.

The mother and daughter who Jenny allowed to touch her felt betrayed by her sudden change. The family was even more confused because they couldn‘t figure out Jenny’s feelings when they saw her turn around and lick their hands right after she bit them. Why on earth did Jenny suddenly change and attack her family‘s hands?

It turned out that Jenny had three guardians in 15 months. The one who first brought Jenny home was her mother’s guardian‘s older brother. However, as both of them worked and Jenny was left alone for a long time, she ended up going to her grandmother’s house. She lived with her grandparents, her second guardians, for a year, but her biting behavior since she was little didn‘t get any better, and eventually, her grandmother got bitten by Jenny and seriously injured her hand.

Jenny became her third guardian, taking her grandmother’s place because she was afraid of her and couldn‘t raise her anymore. Jenny loves her family, as she greets them with her tail wagging when they come back from outings and acts cute by coming over to them first and asking them to touch her. However, her biting behavior suddenly changed and attacked their hands, which is an ironic situation that got worse day by day. The family worried that Jenny’s biting behavior might be caused by her frequent changes in guardians and environment, and that Jenny might have closed her heart because she was hurt.

Jenny, who had always been very wary of strangers, barked loudly even when she saw Teacher Seol, so filming was impossible. As expected, Jenny‘s excitement and anxiety level was the highest in the history of the three dogs. In the end, I had to give her anti-anxiety medication, and only after Jenny calmed down could I proceed with the solution.

The cause of Jenny’s biting behavior that Seol-saeng saw was amygdala overactivation. Since she is genetically sensitive, she feels more anxious and stressed by her family‘s touch, and this unconsciously manifests as biting. What is Seol-saeng’s solution for Jenny, who attacks her guardians due to her innate sensitivity? In addition to ‘Touch education’ to build trust with Jenny and ‘Skinship tunnel education’ for natural skinship, Seol-saeng‘s solution to correct Jenny’s abnormal behavior is revealed.

Jenny‘s story will be revealed in the ‘Our House Time Bomb Jenny’ episode of 〈There Are No Bad Dogs in the World〉, which will air on EBS 1TV at 10:50 PM on the 7th (Friday).
