Potty Training Puppy

The excitement that new puppy owners feel when they first bring their fat little furball home is often somewhat squashed when the little guy takes his first squat on the carpet. Armed with a sense of purpose, the new pet owner resolves to prevent future puddles by imparting some house training knowledge to the newest member of the family. As the days pass, the new owner is frazzled, puppy is clueless, and the wet areas on the carpet are beginning to look like spots on a Dalmation. Ron Ayalon of Petwebdesigner (http://www.Petwebdesigner.com) has just the solution.

Many pet owners regale their audiences with tales of their wonderful dog who took to potty training so well that they had to do little or nothing themselves to get him to that point. Yet, most owners feel as if they have been presented with the only pup in the world that just doesn’t get it. The reality is that puppies aren’t born with potty training knowledge and guiding your new friend through the process can be frustrating and time consuming – for both the owner and the puppy.

Just like people, puppies learn best when they are young. This is the time for owners to step up to the plate and deal with any bad habits firmly and consistently. Sure, the little guy is cute, but caving in to those adorable brown eyes doesn’t do anyone any good. Puppies want to please. It’s up to the owner to clearly define the boundaries that will make living together pleasant for everyone in the household.

The most widely used method for potty training a puppy is the Hit or Miss Method. A highly effective way to potty train, this method involved physically moving the puppy outdoors to the same area several times a day and waiting for him to do his business. Although more often than not, it feels like a waste of time, the puppy will eventually get the idea.

The first few times that puppy is taken outside to his “spot”, he will probably use the opportunity to play. This is normal, but owners have to remind themselves that this is not playtime and they should not return the playful behavior. Usually what happens is puppy gets a bit bored with the stick-in-the mud human and has an accident. Eureka! That’s exactly how it’s supposed to go! Now that his little accident has left an odor, bringing him back outside to the same spot frequently will teach him that this spot is his own particular powder room. Within a short time, all the owner has to do is open the door and the now educated puppy will automatically go to his spot to do his business.

Don’t forget to lavish the little romper with praise! Dogs thrive on the knowledge that they’ve done something that warrants approval. Reward the puppy with a treat, a “good dog”, or a toss of his favorite toy. Just like any kid, the puppy will discover the joys of going potty in the right place and will want to repeat the behavior.

The Hit or Miss Method works because the owner makes frequent attempts to catch their puppy being good. There’s no way to know exactly when he’s going to feel the urge to go, but like most babies, he doesn’t always know either. Until he figures out when and where he’s supposed to go, he’ll just do it when the moment hits him. It’s the job of the pet owner to catch the puppy before he soils the carpet and direct him toward an acceptable potty spot.

Again, there is no way to know, at first, exactly when puppy needs to potty, but there are a few suggestions that can help predict when the urge might strike. In general, new puppy owners should take the little one outside after he eats, drinks, first thing when he wakes up and right before bedtime. Also, any time a puppy gets excited, he might have an accident, so take him out whenever anyone enters the house including when mom and dad get home from work. The more puppy owners try to catch their puppy being good, the better. Taking him out every hour the first few days until he begins to get the gist of the activity is always a great idea.

The time that a new puppy owner puts into the training of the family pet pays off exponentially by teaching the basics to the new family member that will make him a valued and welcome member of the household.

With the state of the financial world the way it is right now, a huge burden is being put on families and individuals every where. The main problem is that the price of everything is going up, but incomes are not keeping up with that. The cost of fuel is astronomically higher than it was just a year and a half ago and that affects the cost of nearly every consumable item that people purchase, because it all has to be transported at some point. Housing costs, utility costs, and other costs are also on the rise. This situation often leaves people in dire financial straits when they cannot pay their bills.

One solution when this type of financial hardship arises is to look into taking out a payday loan. Payday loans are generally short term loans meant to help people through temporary financial difficulty. There are many options out there as far as who to go through to get a payday loan, but one of the best ones available is PaydayOne.com!

PaydayOne offers state licensed payday loans at very competitive rates. They also offer a huge amount of other features like extremely quick turnaround time, the ability to apply at any time of day or night, very convenient online loan applications, no waiting in long lines, and no faxing of documents required.

PaydayOne offers the chance for those with low credit scores to apply just like everyone else. People with low credit scores find themselves in financial need as well and need the same type of help, if not more, that other people do.

Another thing that many people find that they appreciate from PaydayOne is the fact that it is all done online. There is sometimes a public stigma that people wish they could avoid when it comes to getting a payday loan from a physical storefront in their hometown. With the entire process handled online, no one needs to ever know that they were in fact in need of a loan. Personal finances are personal for a reason.

Anyone needing a secure loan in a hurry would do themselves a favor by checking out the services offered by PaydayOne.com.

Get Rid Of Those Pesky Squirrels In An Environmentally Safe Way

There is a certain amount of enjoyment that can be gotten from viewing or interacting with nearly every animal out there. But, some unwanted animals can impact your lives more negatively than they do positively. This is true for mice that invade a home, coyotes that frequent livestock farms, and often even those cute squirrels that hop from tree branch to tree branch.

When I was younger, we had squirrels that would play in our walnut trees behind our house. They were fun to watch but they also got into the garbage and would spread it around quite regularly. I can’t remember how many times I had to go and clean up rotten food and wripped open packages and wrappers that were spread all over by those cute but pesky little creatures.

Squirrels are indeed cute and can be fun to watch, but they can be a nuisance as well. They can get into the garbage and spread it all over the place, they can eat the food out of the birdfeeder, and it doesn’t take many of them to completely destroy a nice vegetable garden. There are a number of ways to get rid of unwanted animals, but many either leave behind large messes for the homeowner to clean up or are evironmentally dangerous and even harmful to household pets. Check out the advantages of Havahart’s Critter Ridder, it is much more than just a normal squirrel repellent, it is a safe way to rid your backyard of pesky critters that are impacting your home in a negative way.

Havahart’s Critter Ridder not only works, but it is completely organic too. It doesn’t leave a harmful trail behind it, it doesn’t solve one problem for the homeowner only to create a new problem for them to solve. Critter Ridder works, and works well too.
