Dog Behavior and Safety Guidelines
Jika anjingmu pernah menggeram ke arah ambang pintu yang kosong,
jangan melewatinya,
jangan tarik dia menjauh darinya, dan jangan nyalakan lampu di ruangan itu.
Ada tujuh aturan. Kebanyakan orang melanggar yang pertama dalam waktu kurang dari
sedetik, dan aturan ketujuh membahas malam saat ia berhenti
menggeram. Aturan pertama: Jangan suruh dia diam.
Naluri pertamamu adalah berkata, "Hei, diam." Jangan.
Seekor anjing bisa mendengar suara hingga empat puluh lima ribu hertz.
Telingamu menyerah di sekitar dua puluh ribu.
Jadi, saat dia menggeram ke arah ambang pintu kosong, sebenarnya ada sesuatu di sana.
Sana. Hanya saja, ia mengeluarkan suara di luar jangkauanmu.
Menyuruhnya diam seperti mencabut baterai dari
alarm asap hanya karena
bunyi bipnya tidak sopan. Aturan kedua: Awasi
telinganya, bukan ambang pintunya. Seekor anjing bisa menggerakkan masing-masing telinganya
secara terpisah. Ada 18 otot di setiap telinga.
Jika kedua telinganya mengarah ke pintu, makhluk itu ada di ambang pintu.
Jika satu telinganya perlahan berputar dan mengikuti sesuatu di sepanjang dinding,
makhluk itu bergerak. Dan jika kedua telinganya mengarah kepadamu,
jangan lihat ke belakangmu. Lihat dia. Dia akan memberitahumu saat makhluk itu pergi.
Aturan ketiga: Jangan nyalakan lampu. Kau pasti ingin melihatnya.
Itulah masalahnya. Dalam gelap, dia melihat lebih baik daripada kamu.
Ada cermin di bagian belakang matanya.
Itulah sebabnya matanya bersinar saat terkena cahaya sentermu.
Saat ini, dia satu-satunya di ruangan yang bisa melihat
makhluk itu.
Nyalakan lampu, dan kaulah yang paling terang di dalam
rumah.
Makhluk itu sudah tahu di mana kamu berada. Cahaya itu hanya memberitahunya bahwa kamu tahu
juga.
Aturan satu sampai tiga menjagamu tetap aman malam ini.
Empat sampai enam menjagamu tetap aman minggu depan.
Aturan ketujuh, kau hanya bisa menggunakannya sekali.
Aturan keempat: Tetap di belakangnya. Saat anjing menggeram,
ia sedang membuat batas di lantai. Dia, lalu Anda.
Jangan melangkahinya. Jangan menggendongnya. Jangan menyeretnya ke kamar tidur.
Duduklah di belakangnya dan biarkan ia menangani ini.
Ini satu-satunya waktu dalam hidup Anda saat anjing menentukan di mana semua orang
duduk. Pada 2013, para ilmuwan mengamati 70
anjing buang air selama dua tahun.
Mereka menemukan bahwa anjing menyelaraskan tubuhnya dari utara ke selatan mengikuti medan
magnet Bumi. Anjing Anda bisa merasakan planet ini.
Ia tidak menggeram tanpa alasan. Ia hanya tidak punya kata untuk apa yang ia
rasakan.
Aturan kelima: Bernapaslah perlahan. Pada 2022,
para peneliti di Belfast menemukan bahwa anjing bisa mencium stres dalam napas
dan keringat kita. Mereka tepat hampir 94
persen dari waktu.
Anjing Anda tahu Anda takut sebelum Anda menyadarinya, dan jika ia bisa menciumnya dari
tempat dia berdiri, jadi apa pun yang berdiri di depannya juga bisa.
Tarik napas perlahan, letakkan tangan di pangkuan. Kau adalah orang tenang
yang mengamati anjing tenang yang menatap sebuah
pintu yang tenang dan kosong.
Aturan keenam: Jika dia mundur, kau ikut mundur bersama
dia. Seekor anjing akan menggonggongi tukang pos,
mengejar rakun yang dua kali lebih besar darinya,
tetapi jika ekornya terkulai dan dia mundur selangkah, dia tidak lagi
melindungimu. Dia memberitahumu bahwa dia tak mampu.
Mundurlah bersama-sama, perlahan. Jangan membelakangi
pintu itu. Pergilah ke dapur. Sekarang nyalakan semua lampu.
Dia sudah tahu bahwa kau tahu. Duduklah bersandar pada kulkas dengan anjingmu
di pangkuanmu dan tunggulah matahari terbit.
Dia akan berpura-pura berani demi kau. Kau juga berpuralah demi dia.
Aturan ketujuh: Malam saat dia berhenti menggeram.
Itu akan terjadi. Berminggu-minggu menggeram pada pintu yang sama
setiap malam, lalu suatu malam dia tidak melakukannya.
Dia sama sekali tidak melihat ke ambang pintu. Dia melihat Anda.
Telinganya menekuk ke belakang, bibirnya terangkat, dan dia menggeram
kepada Anda.
Jangan marah padanya. Pikirkan. Pernahkah Anda melewati ambang
pintu itu, bahkan sekali, dalam keadaan setengah tertidur di kegelapan untuk mengambil segelas
air?
Kalau begitu, ia tak lagi berdiri di ambang pintu itu.
Ia keluar lagi bersama Anda, dan anjing Anda masih menjalankan tugasnya.
Dia masih melindungi rumah dari Anda.
Jadi, jika anjing Anda pernah menggeram ke arah ambang pintu kosong, jangan pernah
melewati ambang itu. Dan jika ia pernah menggeram kepada Anda, tetaplah di tempat Anda.
Biarkan dia mengawasi Anda sampai pagi. Dia belum pernah salah.

Original transcript (English)
If your dog ever growls at an empty doorway, don't walk through it, don't pull him away from it, and don't turn on the light in that room. There are seven rules. Most people break the first one in under a second, and the seventh is about the night he stops
growling. Rule one: Don't tell him to be quiet. Your first instinct is to say, "Hey, quiet." Don't. A dog can hear sounds up to forty-five thousand hertz. Your ears give up at around twenty thousand. So when he growls at a doorway with nothing in it, there is something in
it. It's just making sounds above your range. Telling him to be quiet is like pulling the batteries out of a smoke alarm because the beeping was rude. Rule two: Watch his ears, not the doorway. A dog can move each ear on its
own. Eighteen muscles in every ear. If both ears point at the doorway, it's standing in the doorway. If one ear slowly turns and follows something along the wall, it's moving. And if both ears turn toward you, don't look behind you. Look at him. He'll tell you when it's gone.
Rule three: Don't turn on the light. You'll wanna see it. That's the problem. In the dark, he sees better than you. There's a mirror at the back of his eyes. That's why they glow when your flashlight hits them. Right now, he's the only one in the room who can see
it. Turn on the light, and you're the brightest thing in the house. It already knows where you are. The light just tells it you know too.
Rules one to three keep you safe tonight. Four to six keep you safe next week. Rule seven, you only get to use once. Rule four: Stay behind him. When a dog growls, he's drawing a line on the floor. Him, then you.
Don't step over it. Don't pick him up. Don't drag him to the bedroom. Sit down behind him and let him work. This is the only time in your life when the dog decides where everyone sits. In 2013, scientists watched seventy dogs go to the bathroom for two years.
They found that dogs line up their bodies north to south along the Earth's magnetic field. Your dog can feel the planet. He doesn't growl at nothing. He just doesn't have a word for what he feels. Rule five: Breathe slowly. In 2022,
researchers in Belfast found that dogs can smell stress in our breath and sweat. They got it right almost ninety-four percent of the time. Your dog knows you're scared before you do, and if he can smell it from where he's standing, so can whatever is standing in front of him.
Slow breaths, hands in your lap. You are a calm person watching a calm dog staring at a calm, empty doorway. Rule six: If he backs away, you back away with him.
A dog will bark at the mailman, chase a raccoon twice his size, but if his tail goes down and he takes one step back, he's not guarding you anymore. He's telling you he can't. Back away together, slowly. Don't turn your back on the doorway. Get to the kitchen. Now you turn on every light.
It already knows that you know. Sit with your back to the fridge and your dog in your lap and wait for the sun. He'll pretend to be brave for you. Pretend for him too. Rule seven: The night he stops growling. It will happen. Weeks of growling at the same doorway
every night, and then one night he doesn't. He doesn't look at the doorway at all. He looks at you. His ears go back, his lip lifts, and he growls at you. Don't be angry with him. Think. Did you walk through that
doorway even once, half asleep in the dark for a glass of water? Then it isn't standing in the doorway anymore. It walked back out with you, and your dog is still doing his job. He's still protecting the house from you.
So if your dog ever growls at an empty doorway, don't walk through it. And if he ever growls at you, stay where you are. Let him watch you until morning. He hasn't been wrong yet.
