Puppy Training – The Best Way To Management Your Puppies Nipping And Also Biting Problems

Comments (12)

One thing that is for sure is that puppies love to play and among the many games they play, most consist of some form of nipping or biting. When you bring home a new puppy, you will find out in no time that the puppy simply loves to bite and nip at your fingers among many other extremities that are exposed. This behavior while perfectly normal can lead to serious issues as the puppy matures into a dog if the behavior is not rectified. If you have a girl dog then be sure to check out these dog dresses to dress her up like a little cutie.

As the leader of the pack, you are responsible for teaching the puppy the rules of the pack (home) and that the nipping and biting behaviors are not allowed. However, changing this behavior is not an easy task, but it does not have to be a hard one neither as there are many things that you can do to prevent this behavior from occurring. It is also important that you train the puppy that this behavior is not allowed by the time the puppy reaches the age of 15 weeks as after this time period, long term behaviors and habits will start developing. To keep you dog cozy at night be sure to pick up some dog pajamas that will surely keep your dog warm at night. Also be sure to check out these dog supplies that will be great for your dog.

1) Start by showing to your puppy that you definitely prefer the licking over the biting. To do this, you will want to use a firm tone to teach him NO when he bites, but praise him when he licks you. Naturally the puppy would prefer the praise over the harsh tone and should start to change his or her habits accordingly.

2) If this does not work, do not worry too much as there are still many options available to teach your puppy

Is It Worth Using A Reverse Phone Service For A Prank Phone?

Comments (32)

This is a question that only you can answer, but how badly do you need to know who is trying to harass you?

If you have been receiving prank calls then you can just report them to your local police station and let them take care of it. If you trust them to pursue it then that should be the matter resolved. If you really want to be certain the appropriate action is taken then you need to get in contact with their service provider. The service provider will take the matter seriously and it could lead to the person making the calls being cut off or worse.

The problem is you can’t phone their service provider without using a cell phone number lookup website as without them there is no way of knowing who they are with (unless you phone their voicemail and they haven’t changed their message then sometimes you can tell from that). So even though there is a small charge then the best option is to just use it and dig up the service provider and the name and address of the person.

The police will be able to do a lot more if they already have the name and address as you have provided it, then just to make sure go to the phone company too.

That is a double-whammy that ensures the person gets into trouble. Of course they could carry

Your questions about construction blue book

Leave your comment

Laura asks…

blue book for construction?

ive heard about a blue book that tells all the going prices for the contractors to use for bidding jobs

ex. Ceramic tile install = $3 /ft
VCT = $1/ft

Wize Guy answers:

There is a Construction Professional’s Blue Book but it’s only worth the paper it’s printed on. When bidding for jobs there are lots of factors to consider but it can be a reference point for DIYers. It’s available at most book stores.

George asks…

I am looking for the blue book agreement for the industrial construction industry as used by the unions.?

powerstations,petrochemicel and offshore

Wize Guy answers:

Try your local library (possibly the reference section) if they do not have it, they will most likely be able to get a copy.

Lizzie asks…

What is the best way to find a qualified subcontractor in the construction field?

I have used the Blue book and I was wondering if there is another good source for finding construction subcontractors?

Wize Guy answers:

Local Chamber of Commerce, OR NARI- (National association of remodelers)

Wize Guy answers:

I like to see people running something besides blackwings and x-sabers…
Now, your deck is pretty good at the moment, but it could get better and you need to take out some cards. *It has 64, the limit is 60. It is advised by literally all the BEST players to keep it in the low 40s.
Here are my suggestions and the reason behind it

- 1 Lord of D. (Only seems like it’ll be good)
- 2 Delta Flyer (deck thinning, debis should be good enough with what I have in mind)
- 1 DaD (good card, but not enough dark monsters, deck thinning)
- 1 L&DD (good card, but not gonna work in this)
- 1 Tyrant (don’t wanna tribute dragons)
- 1 Exploder Dragon (also good card but…)
- 2 Decoy (People won’t attack it knowing its effect)
- 1 MST (unless you add one more, it’s semi)
- 2 Lightning (don’t need)
- 1 Swords (You’re the one attacking the whole time)
- 1 Flute (no Lord of D.)
- 1 Book of Moon (Not enough, better to take it out)
- 2 Hand Destruction (- 1 card advantage helps your opponent out, opponent can abuse)
- 1 Card Destruction (sometimes works, not right now)
- 1 Dragon’s Mirror (Not relying on fusions)
- 2 Bottomless (slows down the deck)
- 1 Royal Decree (hurts you too much)
- 1 Reckless (Unless you add 2 more, meant to stack up)
- 1 Shadow Spell (your monsters will probably be stronger already)
- 1 Dust Tornado (not enough to protect really)
- 1 Sakuretsu (thinning)
- 1 Magic Cylinder (Deck doesn’t need it)
- 1 Burst Breathe (thinning)
- 1 Dimensional (thinning)

Now You should add

+ 3 cards of consonance (discard debris or white stone to draw 2, preferably white stone so you can
grab a blue eyes)
+ 2 Golem dragon (attack lock, can be grabbed by masked)
+ 3 Trap Stun (one turn royal decree, go for the finish)

Buying A Used Car

Leave your comment

When thinking of buying a car that is used, there are certain important factors you need to take into consideration. For example, a minor or major repair on a used car may be necessary. If you must buy it, be sure you factor the cost for that into the equation. Afterall, you don’t want to pay more than the car is worth as is, do you?

You know what you want; you don’t want to compromise on that. Some used car salesmen will sell you your own tongue, if you allow them. Be careful you don’t get taken in by this. Insist on what you want and nothing less. If you find that the car doesn’t have what you want or isn’t at the price you want it, then move on. The good thing is that you can readily start using the world wide web to make sure you obtain out all the data which you need concerning fat burning exercise, fat loss 4 idiots, Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle and also even examine about how to lose fat quickly.

You might not want a used car that has been in an accident before. Most of the time, no one actually does, except that the cash in hand may not allow them to try for something else. The seller mightn’t offer you that information just for the sake of it, but if you ask them point blank they won’t lie. So ask them.

There are a lot of things you have to remember before buying a used car, and all of them are things you can learn from almost anyone. If you want to drive away with a smile on your face that will yet remain after a few months, be sure you get the kind of used car you always wanted. Do no compromise on it.

Accident clues are easy to find on a used car if you know where to look. Look at the fender, look at the trunk and at the hood, and look at the body and at the paint job to see if there have been any alterations of recent bodywork. If it is there, you will find it, and you will know if to buy the car or not.

Your questions about pictures of babies

Leave your comment

Robert asks…

when did you have your babies 1st pictures taken?

When did you get your LO’s first professional pictures taken? We bought the hospital pictures, but haven’t had and professional pictures done yet and she’s 12 weeks old. She will have semi-professional pictures taken tomorrow at daycare with a really cute background, and if they turn out I might wait until 5 or 6 months to get them taken. I guess I’m kind of feeling like a slacker for not getting them done already? So, when did you first have your babies picture taken at Sears, JC Penney, or any other portrait studio?

Wize Guy answers:

If you find a local professional photographer – start NOW. Just ONE… every 4 weeks and then do a mixture of all the photos done for the year. It cuts costs and is SO the answer for delightful professional photos. I know someone who did one when she was 9 months pregnant with her husband touching her tummy – then when the baby was 4 days old… then 4 weeks old and so on – they put it in a huge frame and he’s one now – oh it is gorgeous!!!

My first ones of my son were done yesterday and I chose 5 (wish I had done it every four weeks or eight weeks as he’s 4 months old now)

Lisa asks…

Anyone take their babies pictures at home instead of professional?

I want to take my sons 7 month pictures and do not really have to money to go anywhere to have them done.I was thinking of just taking some pictures at home but for some reason,seem to be blank on ideas.Anyone got any ideas?

Wize Guy answers:

My son is 18 months old and hasn’t had any professional photos taken. For a younger, less mobile baby it can be really cute to just throw a blanket down on the sofa and take some pictures there. These are the ones I took when he was one month old and four months old.

http://browers.rexburgopensource.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=164

http://browers.rexburgopensource.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=512

As babies get older and more interactive and mobile adding a prop can be really cute. Teddy bears or other toys can work, but some random props can work well too. The idea once a baby is interactive is to take a really good candid shot that shows their personality. Here is my son last Halloween when he was almost 7 months old.

http://browers.rexburgopensource.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=662

http://browers.rexburgopensource.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=671

I think this is my favorite of all of our candid pics.

http://browers.rexburgopensource.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=704

If you’re wanting something that’s more posed make sure that you eliminate distractions in the background. You want the focus to be on your son, not all of the stuff behind him. You can move stuff, or take the photos somewhere else where the background won’t be too distracting. An open area with a close focus can keep the focus on your son, as well as a grassy lawn, sitting on some fun playground equipment, snuggled with his favorite blanket, or really whatever. Babies tend to look kinda unnatural if they are posed with out something else, unless they are really excited by the camera and will keep their focus there. Babies who like to “eat” the camera probably don’t need much else with them.

Remember to get down at eye level to your son to take his pictures instead of standing above him and looking down. If he’s on the floor get down on the floor too. If he’s sitting on a chair squat down so that you’re face to face. This gives you a really good perspective on showing him, not showing him from a tall person’s view. Also remember to keep the shot tight. You don’t want half of the picture to be background stuff. Sometimes this means that you’ll just get a close up of his chest and head. Other times you can get his full body, but you don’t want a ton else. If you do include lots of extra space in the photo besides your son, make sure that it contributes to the overall picture and isn’t just dead space.

A close shot where everything in the shot contributes to the picture

http://browers.rexburgopensource.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=868

A far shot where there is tons of extra space that distracts from the picture

Mandy asks…

How often did you get your babies pictures done profesionally.?

I’ve had my son’s done once when he was two months and was planning on waiting until he could set up on his own to due the next.
Is there any certain way some people do it?
I take my own pictures of him everyday, but getting them done is different and fun : ]

Wize Guy answers:

Traditionally, pics are done as newborns, 2 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 12 mo, 18 mo, 2 yr and then yearly….I suppose that features the big milestones, smiling sitting up, standing walking, etc….like you I have hundreds of pics so we did newborn, 6 months and then will do a year.. Good luck!

Donald asks…

where can i find some more cutie babies pictures to use for ?

put on myspace background. i dont want those sites layouts. i usuallly find some others ones that can get online instead getting from other websites. if you know what i am talkin about . the ones are real pictures of real people out there . no fakes ones alike you got .

Wize Guy answers:

Try sxc.hu. It’s a great site with lots of free photos.

James asks…

How often do you take ‘Milestone’ pictures of your babies?

A friend of mine takes them every month on the child’s birth day. EX. Born March 18, pic’s every 18th day of the month.

I take them every 2 months the saturday nearest the 18th day.

And another friend takes them every 3 months nearest the 18th day on a sat.

Just curious a survey of sorts:

How often do you take your babies picture (professionally)? And is there a method?
OMG! That is a really cool idea. I think I’ll do that with my daughter from now on. a sign with the month age next to her, amazing!

Wize Guy answers:

I take pictures everyday thanks to my new digital camera :0) lol. But, we got a great idea from a family friend: we have been taking pics from month #1 to his most recent 5 months; coming very soon will be six.

We basically had just put a little sign in front of him saying “1 month” and have done so on. It’s pretty cute because of course the 1 month picture he was just like laying there, and now we are seeing how much he has grown–length and weight and also how much his face has already changed–plus he smiles now. I think we are going to stop at one year. It will be very cool to see the transformation because of course at 1 year he will be able to hold the sign.

Do Shop Online For car Insurance

Leave your comment

Paying your car insurance premiums online is as easy as anything else you ever did over the internet. Fill in your credit card number in the space provided for the same in your profile on the car insurer’s website. Once you have that done, the rest is easy. There are a lot of details that are included on an automobile insurance policy. However, getting it online makes no difference at all to their validity. As a matter of fact, it simply makes them easier to compute in and get your policy out. You are in safe hands here. Getting cheap car insurance is easy if you want it badly enough. What you need to do is to get a number of quotes from various insurance companies and compare them. You will know the one you can afford when you see it. I wrote other articles like showing people about best way to get rid of acne and also how to deal with their relationship problems and in particular sexless marriage which is a very common marriage problems that you deal with a lot today. There is hardly such a thing as cheap car insurance. The way insurance works, the amount of premium you pay determines how much coverage you get on your insurance. So if you are looking for something cheap, you may have to deal with heavy deductibles. Better safe than sorry, you know; better cheap car insurance than nothing at all. Even if the cover you get on it is not the best you could have gotten, you are still better off knowing that you don’t have to foot every expense you incur in a fender bender.

Cheap Cars For Sale

Leave your comment

Cars are one of the essential things that a person must have nowadays. There are people who need this for some reasons. There are some who use cars as a necessity. There are also some people who use these cars as their hobby and there are some who buy lots of cars to impress people and to increase their social status. Though there are different reasons why people would want to buy a car, you cannot just buy a car that fast without many considerations especially with the budget. Unless you are a rich person that you don’t have any problem in buying a new car no matter what it cost. But our main concern here is the majority. Most of the common people sometimes have no idea how to own a car or buy a car in a low price. Everyone would want to have a car nowadays but the problem is the prices. If you would really want to have a good car that is brand new, it will really cost you a lot. I’m going to give you an idea here on where you can find cheap cars for sale.

If you are thinking of buying a car the first thing that would normally come into your mind is how much and how will you get it. If you will consider cheap cars, then that would be practical for you. Cheap Cars are normally second-hand but you have to have the knowledge in advance. For you to be knowledgeable about this, you can see the newspapers or browse over the internet where you can find comprehensive sources and information that could help you. They usually place the information in categories and brands or most often than not, the prices.

Though it is good to find brands that you are comfortable with, it is good that you emphasize your choice according to your safety and necessity. You should also have to make sure that the important features of your chosen car is there such as lights, mirrors, seatbelts, bumpers, airbags, child door lock, four wheel, GPS navigation and so forth. If you know such of these, you will have no problems in making your decision.

There are also car dealerships could help you also in your venture of looking for a car that you look forward to. If you search cheap cars for sale, people should be alert of the history of them most importantly the maintenance. You have to make sure that the cars had ever been in a problem before like accident, sinking, or overhauling a machine. You have to check the overall parts of the car, and driving in a certain speed. You have to make sure to that your dealers are reliable and you are sure that they can give you the best. There are some who wouldn’t go for dealers because of frauds. So it is very important that you will test drive your car before anything else. You have to make sure about the warranty also so that some circumstances may come; you can still bring it back to the owner.

How to Find Tire Companies You Can Trust

Leave your comment

There are numerous tire companies available today, so how can you tell which ones will give you the best deals and assistance when it comes to your tire needs? This article will show you how to find a reliable dealer of tires on sale.

You may have seen several ads on tires on sale, deals and offers but don’t know where to start. That’s because you can find literally thousands of dealers that are willing to give you an offer. But will this offer be the best value for your money? The key in this case is to avoid getting ripped off! Some tire companies are willing to tell you anything to get the most profits possible.

Discovering Your Options Online and Offline

You can start off by checking the newspaper. A better alternative though is to look online. Look for companies within your area. Gather about 8 to 10 companies and check them out one by one. See if the website has all the information you need to do a background check on them. A company website must have a working contact number and physical address. You should also be able to talk to someone in charge. Check with the Better Business Bureau and go through some online reviews and customer feedback.

Now you can narrow down your list to just 3 to 5 tire companies. Speak to each of their representatives. Make sure you know what you’re talking about beforehand, so that you know if the dealer is giving you a good offer or not. This means you need to do research on tires on sale in general. Record the size details of your tire, which include the relative height, relative width and the wheel size. A good dealer will mention to you about extra fees if you ask him/her to. If there are fees, they are typically for tire balance, installation, stems, warranty and disposal.

Your questions about life is good

Leave your comment

Helen asks…

Under what circumstances is life good for you?

Under what circumstances do you consider your life to be good?

When are you happy?

Please be as descriptive as possible.

Wize Guy answers:

I’m happy when I have accomplished a challenging task of the day, I’m at peace with my choices I make and I’m praying daily, good food, my friends and I arent arguging, my family is being peaceful, and I have money in the bank and in my pocket!

Pretty much when my life is as balance as it can get ;)

Robert asks…

How does one receive or achieve a good life?

What is the “recipe” for a good life? We have years and years of untapped knowledge that I believe sometimes gets lost in translation. So, for the older folks out there, what can us younger ones do to make our life good(worth while)? (besides the usual cliché’s such as —– “live life to the fullest”)

Wize Guy answers:

To achieve a good life you need to fall down,mess up at some point,have a melt down,crack under the pressure,go through chaos and come out a wiser person.You achieve that life through trial and error,mistakes and lessons,wisdom and learning,inspiration and determination,love and passion,inspiration,devotion,being driven, having goals in mind and hard work.A good life can be defined in many ways yet I believe that I have a very good and privileged life as well as complex which has made me stronger.Life can throw things your way yet it is how you deal with life,your actions,perspective,understanding,wisdom,passion and everything that you have to bring to the table that sets you apart and shows your character.To achieve a good life you need to do what makes you happy be it something you love,having a supportive family as well as friends which can keep you grounded,and devoting a lot of hard work.I have learned that you achieve something by puttting your mind to good use,have faith in yourself,do your abosolute best,it is okay to make mistakes yet better not to have regrets about anything and everything.Let go of the past,live in the present and know that only you can write the future.Also do not take anything for granted but rather realize how much you have going for you be it a wonderful family,a girlfriend,friends or whatever keeps you going.You should also love yourself,what you stand for,what you have and realize at the end of the day how happy you are.No one will give you a good life but rather you have to go out there in the real world which is a jungle and fight for what you want as well as believe.Lastly never forget who you are and what has brought you to the point in life where you are nonetheless stopping to learn.Here is my story if you do not believe me:born in Romania in 1984,endured communism,my dad invited to to US by my Romanian uncle-dad’s brother-,he decides to settle here,starts from zero,works at Dairy Queen and does not see his daughters for 5 years,moves up to work for Elder which is now Baker Hughes,has come to get his family in 1995 from Romania,works for BJ services,puts 2 daughters thru college,one son thru swim lessons,me about to die twice,the reason he came here was because I have seizures and he has given up so much for me and my siblings.That is how he achieved a good life:he tried,he worked his butt off and he did it for a better future of his children.

Ruth asks…

Why is life good on one day and then horrible the next?

I don’t have depression or anything and I’m not complaining about life. I just notice that a good day is generally followed by a bad day.

Wize Guy answers:

how would you know what a good day is/feels like if you never had a bad day??

its just the way things are. natural cycle.

Mandy asks…

What laptop is light-weight, has good battery life, good looks and is recommended for home-use purposes?

I will be utilizing the laptop primarily for browsing the web, chatting, etc.
I will also be playing MS Flight Sim.

What are the recommended minimum specifications, in terms of:
1. Memory
2. Hard Drive
3. Screen Size

However, weight and battery life would be the deciding factors.

Is it true that HP makes the best laptops? How are the HP Mini Series and Pavilion DV2?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Wize Guy answers:

You should check out this site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows7/products/windows-7?os=win7 and select the link titled “Find the Perfect PC” on the right of this page.

It will help you find a model that fits your needs and critera.

Your questions about premature babies

Leave your comment

Maria asks…

premature babies?

a question for ladies who have had premature babies? was it anything you did or were doing ie heavy lifting, drinking or did it just happen and no one knows why? my friend had hers premature and they think it is just one of those things that happened and they cant explain why. i would just like to here of anyone elses experience with this so i can tell her a bit more about it so she dosent keep blaming herself. thanks so much x

Wize Guy answers:

I had my little premature baby girl on June 20th because I had placenta previa, which lead to severe bleeding and contractions by week 33. I had nothing to do with it at all, it is one of these things that just happen but as a mom I do blame myself too because it was my body that failed my baby. I know it may sound senseless but I know that most moms who were put in my position felt the same way at some point. Just stand by her and keep reassuring her that it was not her mistake.

Sandra asks…

Premature babies?

Theres this lady at work that keeps telling me that a 7 month premature baby can survive but not an 8 month premature baby. I know thats not true, but I read it some where and cant find a website to prove it. Iwould really like to know for sure so i can shut this ignorant lady up. i cant stand people with teh know-it-all attitude, especially about my pregnancy…
(sorry- pregnancy hormone dial on rage right now)
Thanks!

Babies can survive from like 22 weeks these days! I found this website you might want to look at it and print it off to show this lady and maybe she will stop going on at you!
Babies born at 22-23 weeks have a 24 per cent chance of survival, at 24 weeks this rises to 31 per cent. Premature babies delivered at 25 weeks then their chances are increased by 50 per cent and from 32 weeks onwards most babies can survive without medical assistance.

What usually happens to premature babies once they are born?

I am about 7 months pregnant but am expecting my daughter to be born premature within the next week or so. But I have no clue what happens to premature babies once they are born. I know some have to be put in incubators, but what else? Will I be in the same room as her?

My daughter also has a suspected muscle disorder/syndrome, will this affect what happens to her after she is born? Please answer, I feel like I have no clue what to expect.

Wize Guy answers:

Usually a baby will be sent to special care nursery that is born premature. This is also called NICU. The baby won’t be with you but you can call down anytime and go down to see your daughter.

Premature babies tend to have trouble with a few things, breathing, feeding, and keeping their temperature up.

In the NICU she will be monitored closely by monitors and a nurse who will only be caring for 1-3 patients. Most likely, you will be discharged before she will.

She will probably be in an open crib. She will probably have some help for breathing. This can be a ventilator (tube in mouth), C-pap (continuous positive air pressure), its like a mask that can be removed and covers the nose and mouth. Or oxygen that goes into the nose by nasal canula.

She will have a heart monitor on, she will have an O2 saturation monitor on her toe. She will have her arms padded so she cannot bend them to pull out anything. She may be placed under a warmer. She may be placed under UV light for a high biliruben level, this is quite common, even for babies not in NICU. Depending on how stable she is, you may or may not be able to hold her.

She may have an IV for tube feedings which are a yellow bag. This is TPN-total parental nutrition. She may have an NG tube (nasal gastric) going up the nose. Its teeny tiny. She may have the IV in her head because its easier to put in there.

The NICU has alot of beeping going on which can be unnerving. Ask alot of questions.

Babies in NICU come in all sizes, my youngest son was in NICU for 6 days. In our hospital NICU the rooms hold 3 patients. My son was the smallest patient in the room. He was 8 pounds 5 ounces and 22 inches long. When my oldest son was in NICU for a week he was the largest baby in NICU. He was 5 pounds 15 ounces, and 19 inches long. Not all small babies go to NICU.

Your baby will go to NICU for certain for 24 hour admission to watch her closely. It is possible that she will not stay there and be discharged, and brought back up to your room. This however is unlikely.

Premature girls tend to do better than premature boys. NICU is the safest place for her to be. Good Luck.

How does premature babies and their corrected age work?

I need to know how the corrected age system works for premature babies-like what does it mean. I hear people say “he’s five months corrected” but am not sure on what it means. I know it has to do with the baby being born early and giving them extra months or something.

Wize Guy answers:

My baby was exactly 4months early. He is now 10 months old ‘actual’ and 6 months ‘corrected’.

His physical development is that of a 6 month old.

George asks…

What do premature babies need to survive?

I’m trying to motivate my home room members to give money to March of Dimes for all the premature babies of the world. But I don’t know how that would help the premies.

Wize Guy answers:

you may want to check among friends how many of them were premature or know some kids who were premature. it’s more then you think and most will grow up just like any other kids. that might help get them motivated.
other prems will need extra intensive care at birth and will have problems in later life. I think premature care is important but we also need to look at quality of life expected.
good luck
