Dog Obedience Training

Make The Pups Know Who's In Charge

However, they can be your worst enemy sometimes.

Hunting The Right Hound

But for the most part, these are large, powerful dogs. Skilled owners in training are what they need. The Akita (Japan), the Komondor (Hungary), the Portuguese water dog, the Newfoundland, the Saint Bernard (Switzerland), the Alaskan Malamute, the Bernese Mountain dog (Switzerland) and many more make this group a veritable United Nations of dogs. The crossing of bulldogs and terriers for the express purpose of creating fighting dogs has produced several dog breeds that can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A retired racer should be tested with small children or other pets, as some of these dogs make a habit of chasing them as they have chased mechanical rabbits in their earlier career. Some sporting dog breeds you might consider in buying include the American Cocker Spaniel, American Water Spaniel, Brittany, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Clumber Spaniel, Curly-Coated Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, English Setter, English Springer Spaniel, Field Spaniel, Flat-Coated Retriever, German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, Golden Retriever, Gordon Setter, Irish Setter, Irish Water Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Pointer, Spinone Italiano, Sussex Spaniel, Vizsla, Weimaraner, Welsh Springer Spaniel, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. A vet or a dog breeder can suggest other possibilities. To know more about these canine kinds, here are some areas to consider in selecting what mutt to adopt:

Herding dog breeds. Due to some unscrupulous breeders and unmindful owners, a few breeds within the terrier group have developed rather notorious reputations. Because they're all related, all of the 400 or so breeds are capable of interbreeding. The sporting group comprises some of the most popular breeds, including pointers, setters, retrievers and spaniels. Both routinely in the top five breeds, the Labrador retriever and the golden retriever together account for nearly one-quarter of the more than 1 million dogs registered with the AKC every year. Images of dogs closely resembling these breeds are depicted on the walls of the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. Those seeking one out, however, are cautioned when choosing a dog bred for the racetrack. Unfortunately, the sheer popularity of some of the sporting breeds, most notably cocker spaniels but also Labrador and golden retrievers, has led to a rise in health and behavioural problems.

The Anatomy Of A Canine

Canids, including domestic dogs, have 42 teeth, although there are a few exceptions:The bat-eared fox has 48. Called thermoregulation, this ability allows canids to thrive in all types of climates, from the subarctic to the Sahara. But an absence of sweat glands on the canid's skin forces it to rely on other means. A small stopper pad, located higher up on the back of the leg, provides a better grip for walking or running on slick surfaces. The arctic fox, on the other hand, has minuscule ears to minimize the effects of the frigid weather in its northern homeland. The wire-haired coat of the dachshund features a higher quantity and density of the harsh primary hairs in a dog's coat. Well, here's the information you need to know:Tongue. As omnivores, canids need a variety of specialized teeth to eat the different types of foods in their varied diets. How would our dog eat? Take their mechanical grinding machine into your consideration too- their teeth. Staying Cool. Button ears can been seen in Shetland Sheepdogs and many terriers.

Why The Help?

You can actually see your dog wait next to the door when he/she needs to go out to use the bathroom. You would avoid mistakes done by most neophytes. Why waste hundreds of dollars for the old-fashioned dog training techniques when you can have the luxury of saving all your resources and getting more effective results? Why wait? Buy this now. A few dog treats will do the magic.

Christmas - Healing the Holiday Blues – 10 Top Tips for Turning the Blues Around!

There is a flip side to the much advertised holiday joy, optimism, hope, generosity, peace on earth and good will to all. For some there is a dark side present known as the holiday blues. It can be filled with self criticism, loneliness, self doubt, stress, anxiety and pessimism.

The images of happy couples and happy families all having the perfect holiday may be a trigger for a spiraling down-hill road of self judgment and emotional pain. These constant images and reminders of happiness can be painful and unsettling or even intense emotional triggers to others. The solution is to recognize your triggers, find ways to respond to these triggers so you can turn them into a positive and have realistic expectations and attainable goals for the festive season. However, it is best to consult a doctor when the feelings of the “blues” linger on for more than a couple of weeks. In which case it may be depression. Left untreated, depression can become a serious and life-threatening disorder.

A number of factors can contribute to the "holiday blues," including stress, fatigue, troubled family relationships, loss of a loved one, lack of sunlight, images in the media, unrealistic expectations and financial constraints. These factors may lead to feelings of sadness, loneliness, stress, anger or tension. There may be changes in sleep patterns, a lack of energy, headaches, agitation, anxiety, diminished interest in favorite activities, or excessive drinking, eating and feelings of guilt. While others may not feel as fulfilled as one would wish, others get stuck in the blame game, comparing themselves with others and indulging in a pity party “They all look so happy and prosperous why can’t I be, what’s wrong with me?”

Emotional pain is part of being human and we want to be aware of and feel our emotions. Learn from them and let them go. Experts tell us that depression is often frozen anger or grief. You may want to be aware of the symptoms of “depression” and know when you need to get medical help. You can do an on-line self-help test to see where you are. There are several quizzes - Self Assessment Quiz at www.journeyofthehearts.org/jofh/selfdep.htm and the Wakefield Questionnaire www.journeyofthehearts.org/jofh/sakefield.htm available at Journey of the Hearts online healing place. This site is helps those visiting to assess their level of depression.

Here are some coping strategies for dealing with the blues. Remember to make up your own list that you can have on hand and ready to refer to whenever you recognize the feelings of the “Blues” surfacing. Do something on your list and if it doesn’t work try another on the list. If you get to the stage where nothing seems to be helping it’s time to consider an assessment for depression.

1. Choose to surround yourself with supportive and positive people and limit as much as possible your time with negative family, friends or colleagues. If this is difficult choose to change the subject to one that is positive. They will soon get the message or back off. Remember misery loves misery!

2. Give. Yes go give your time and help at a charity or nursing home. It’s amazing how much better you can feel when you give of yourself and help others who are less fortunate than yourself. This is also a wonderful way to rekindle the true spirit of Christmas with the act of selfless giving.

3. If feeling lonely, look at ways to make new friends – join a new club, organization, sports group or self help group or group of interest eg. Knitting, book reading, bicycling, bush walking. Do something you haven’t before. Extend yourself to make new friends. But find something that you have an interest in.

4. Set healthy limits when socializing or attending work or family functions. Make a deal with yourself, for example, to have one small slice of cake and one alcoholic drink and avoid the rounds of nibbles. Give yourself strategies you can put into place when out so you don’t offend your host and don’t overindulge so you feel fatigued and heavy.

5. Set realistic goals and expectations for the holidays. You don’t have to say yes to every invitation. You don’t have to have all your friends over for dinners and parties. Set up a budget and plan ahead with a to do list for each month leading up to the holidays so you wont be overwhelmed when they arrive. Think about and write a list of gifts that don’t involve money such as time, support and sharing of memories such as visiting a relative, sharing photos and memories, reading an inspirational Christmas story with your family each night.

6. Try a new practice to overcome harsh self criticism. Sit, close your eyes and think about a part of you that you find hard to accept or find yourself criticizing. Think of someone that you admire or respect. Visualize them fully accepting you just the way you are, forgiving you for not accepting yourself and telling you you are ok. Then think about the gift in this learning. Ask yourself how it can make you into a better person by accepting and loving this part of you. What is it wanting to teach you about life – look for the positive – it will heal you and make you stronger.

7. Learn how to meditate it can be a good way to get in touch with feelings and a way to release stress in the body and mind. You can start now even by closing your eyes and deeply breathing for 5 -10 minutes each day and watching your thoughts and allowing them to drift off.

8. Find joys to uplift you. Write out a list of things that you remember to be pleasurable. For example it could simply be making a hot chocolate and sipping it as you, take time out and watch the birds in a tree for 5 minutes. It may be watching a funny movie, playing a piece of uplifting music or reading a chapter from a favorite inspirational book.

9. Take up some form of exercise. Experts now tell us that some form of movement 30 minutes four to five times a week can be an effective anti-depressant. Try yoga, an exercise class at a gym, join a walking club or just commit to turn off the TV and go for a vigorous walk each night. Try different types of exercise until you find one your like then commit to it each week. Not only will you feel better emotionally but you will be physically healthier too.

10. Practice gratitude. Value your life, your experiences and the people around you. When you walk remember all that you have to be grateful for and remember to be grateful for the time you have had with loved ones you may have lost this year.

Zeitgeist: A Movie For The Time

Since June 2007, the movie "ZEITGEIST" has been taking the internet by storm. As of December 2007, ZEITGEIST had already gathered more than 6 million hits, making it one of the most popular online videos of all time. In fact, on Google video, ZEITGEIST was the no. 1 video for the months of November and December 2007, and there doesn't seem to be any stopping it. The movie's creator, Peter Joseph, has reported some 40,000 to 60,000 hits to his website, ZEITGEISTmovie.com, per day! Also, in November 2007, ZEITGEIST was presented a "Best Feature" award at the prestigious Artivists Film Festival at the Egyptian theater in Hollywood. As one of the sources for Part 1 of ZEITGEIST, I was in attendance as a featured panel speaker addressing some 650 people, who shared a mind-blowing evening. Both Peter and I have also done several radio programs addressing the subjects raised in ZEITGEIST, with me specializing in Part 1. The movie's narration has also been translated into a number of languages, including German. Truly, ZEITGEIST is a global phenomenon!

What is so special about ZEITGEIST that it has attracted so much attention? First of all, the movie is done in a very powerful manner - and, secondly, its message is controversial, to say the least! Since my work inspired some of Part 1, I can only discuss as an expert that segment, which deals with religious conspiracy. Part 1, in fact, claims that our modern religions, including and especially Christianity, are not "original" or "new revelation" but remakes of ancient faiths, particularly that of the Egyptians. In my books, "The christ conspiracy" and "Suns of God," I have striven to demonstrate that fact, with a combined 1000+ pages of fascinating research as to the true meaning of religion. Because of the intense controversy surrounding ZEITGEIST, with forums all over the net engaged in heated debates over the movie, I have now completed an ebook specifically addressing some of the comparisons between the Egyptian religion and Christianity. This new ebook is called "The Companion Guide to ZEITGEIST, Part 1," and it scientifically examines the purported parallels between the Egyptian god Horus and the Jewish godman Jesus, including whether or not Horus was born on December 25th of a "virgin," among other important assertions made in ZEITGEIST. The research on this subject was so abundant that I was unable to put it all into an ebook. In almost 50 pages, I did, however, manage to highlight these significant issues, including ancient resources in their original languages, with translations!

It is the fervent belief of both the creator of ZEITGEIST and me that this information is extremely important in this day and age, in order to further cultural understanding and bring greater peace to the planet, as well as to provide an insight into the working of society's elite, who may not have in mind the best interests of the common man. In this regard, we have taken the risk of bringing this controversial and often contentious material to the public eye, with the hopes of greater enlightenment worldwide.

Mind Movies - A Christian Perspective

Well if you spend any time online you will be familiar with the term "mind movie". They have gained enormous popularity on YouTube.com and fall into the category of self-help resources that are somewhat of the pop psychology category.

This genre of psuedo spirituality holds the "Universe" as the responsible agent of your destiny, along the same line of thought that movie "The Secret" and the book, "Law of Attraction" also suggest. The basic premise is that whatever you put out to the universe, you will be given back due to the certain vibrations you emit.

If you emit negative vibes, then you will get a negative dose back due you according to the measure you first gave out. God is not seen as in control, but just a benign universal servant. Of course if you vibe out the correct positive vibrations and thoughts then this is what you get back, and naturally this is what everyone is interested in doing, getting the good things in life that they are pursuing.

So what could be wrong with that I hear you say? Surely God wants us to have all the good things he has created for us and so this must be a good thing, therefore mind movie must be a good thing?

Lets take a look at what the Bible says along these lines of thought and how it effects our outcomes. The first verse that springs to mind that would seem to indicate a self-fulfilling nature would have to be,

"As a man thinks so he is", Proverbs 23:7

This verse is very profound and holds the truth in human psychology that many new age teachings have borrowed from.

In essence the body and life is guided by the thoughts that originate in our minds. All actions are preceded by thoughts. In fact even certain actions that most people would consider unconscious or subconscious, like speaking for example all involve thoughts first.

The fact that a negative thinking person is more likely to achieve negative outcomes should come as no surprise to most people of average intelligence. You think something is not going to work, and then you go about consciously and subconsciously trying to prove this, so that in the end you can say to yourself - "see I told you I couldn't do it!"

The opposite can be true as well, a person of positive persuasion will equally pursue the actions that are going to lead to the fulfilment of what they believe to be true.

For example a person training for a fun run such as the Sydney City To Surf, who believed in their mind that they were capable of making the distance to cross the finish line at Bondi beach, is going to understand that they need to prepare for the race by doing some training.

All the while amidst the pain of those hill climbs the person is thinking about the positive result of their training, being able to finish the race in a respectable time. They see themselves achieving their goal, and so they set about to prove it to themselves. As a man thinks...

So from a psychological point of view, this foundational principle would seem to be true, but as Christian person we need to look a little closer to the pagan or occult thought behind the whole "Universe" mumbo jumbo.

God Controls the Universe Not the Other Way Round

Christians believe that God created the universe and was there before the beginning so the thought of having this created thing having a power that can be manipulated to ones own end should be somewhat concerning for the Christian person.

The Bible teaches us to surrender our wills to God's will and allow him to direct our lives in the direction of making Christ Lord over all. So the notion that somehow we can override this by a mind movie, should also raise some concern. Does that mean that a Christian cannot use a mind movie to help them achieve things that otherwise would be made more difficult?

The answer to that question could lie in another area of scripture that Jesus mentions in Mark 11:223,24 "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." If you believe and do not doubt then it will be done for you.

Admittedly this verse makes a direct connection to prayer and by support of other passages in scripture we understand that this relates to the asking of God and his benevolent response and answer to our prayers. That being said, it still strikes as rather odd that Jesus would use such an example to prove this point about belief being the major contributing factor in the equation, especially when you consider that the throwing of a mountain into the sea, apart from a volcanic eruption such as Mount Krakatoa, would hardly seem to be something that would formulate part of God's will for a Christian to be seeking.

Do Our Minds Hold an Untapped Power?

Does this passage suggest to us something more? Something that indicates a power that our minds have that is untapped? Another area of consideration would have to be the field of medicine and the effects that positive thought has on the successful outcomes of patients surviving terminal illnesses. It is widely documented that the positive thinking patient does better than the ones resigned to the fact of their demise.

Now suppose we took that thought power and put it into overdrive with a mind movie, this could explain some of the amazing reports of success in relationships, business and personal development that can be found around the Internet in forums and video sharing sites.

It does get difficult for the Christian when you consider what some people are reporting their mind movies have done for them. This is where a Christian considering the practise of creating a mind movie and watching regularly either on screen or in variably in one's mind, which where it is intended to play over and over, needs to plan carefully and prayerfully.

For the Christian creating a mind movie that rejoices in God's goodness as an act of worship, there can be no uncertainty here of blurring the lines between what is an acceptable practise and what may be considered an occult practise.

Positive messages about our God, families, friends, goals in our ministry or business if it be to the glory of God, these could hardly be considered a false or a misleading way to conduct or control our minds. Another scripture reminds of this,

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.", Philippians 4:8

But if we are to set up a mind movie that is attempting to take control where we know we should not be seeking it, this I believe is where we would be stepping over the line and should show restraint.

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.", I Corinthians 10:31

Questions about post second-coming life?

A few things about what the bible says will happen after Jesus comes again don't add up for me. Was wondering if anyone can explain.

-Is the book of life an actual book? Why can't it be a laptop, or DVD of life?
-Why will everyone wear crowns and walk on streets of gold? Some fashion minded people may consider this a bit gaudy.
-Will Heaven be broken up and diversified? People like to live in areas that exhibit their own culture (clothing, architecture, etc.). Will there be a Heavenly Chinatown? Will there be forced hegemony?
-When people return to the new Earth, will there still be deserts? Deserts are, by and large, harsh regions in which humans must struggle to live.. but millions have lived there and consider them beautiful.
-Will there be sports? How do you lose a game if you're perfect?

If your only response is a variation of "These are just details that don't really matter," then please leave the posting to people who actually think about what they believe in

I don't mean to waste your time with my total lack of an answer, but I just wanted to say that this is a pretty cool question. I never really though about it in quite this way before, but I love this sort of thing. I will definitely be giving it a lot of thought in the future!

Top 5 Christmas Traditions

If one will conduct a survey asking people on their favorite day of the year, most will probably say, Christmas. And when asked why, some might give you answers like they enjoy getting lots of presents, while others might say they look forward to parties, listening to Christmas carols, fixing wonderful decorations on every home and establishments, or others simply love the holiday.

The wonderful memories that this season invokes become a primary reason for the yearly traditions that are passed on from generation to generation. This case is definitely true for my family. At the first sign of autumn, we started to get excited for the most anticipated holiday of the year. With the coming of this festive season, here are five traditions which you and your family can start to practice.

Watching Christmas Movies

This tradition started way back then on a Thanksgiving Day by watching the 1947 black & white version of the movie entitled Miracle of 34th street. Since then, we were able to get more than 30 movie collections with Christmas themes in DVD's and videos. And so, it has become a yearly tradition for the whole month of December. We would gather in the living room together, sipping hot cocoa and eating Christmas cookies.

Baking during the Holidays

At home, every family member looks forward to the first week of Christmas vacation. For the first week, all of us would go into baking, spending 3 to 4 days baking our favorite Christmas recipes. Sometimes, we would get together at someone else's house and every person gets to bake their favorite holiday treats. While baking, we would reminisce good old times and enjoy a hearty laugh. When all is done we split up all the goodies we've made and enjoy them or give them as gifts.

Putting up our Christmas tree

This tradition varies from generation to generation. They differ in so many ways, that it would sometimes lead to arguments as there are people have a strong opinion on topic. Many families put up their Christmas tree a week after Thanksgiving is over, some a bit earlier, while others wait until Christmas Eve. Some prefers buying an artificial tree, while others prefer the fragrant, freshly-cut tree. However, the most important part of putting up our Christmas tree is for the whole family to be involved while decorating it. Agreeing on a theme will give everyone a good idea on how to go about the decorations.

Putting up Christmas Stockings

Hanging Christmas stockings on Christmas Eve has been a long tradition practiced by many. These stockings come in many sizes, styles and colors. They range from the most sophisticated store bought ones to the simple homemade handcrafted ones. You may opt to use different designs every year or you may use the same one every year for economical reasons, whatever your choice may be, be sure to fill them up with lots of goodies and wonderful little things.

Writing letters to Santa Claus

Writing letters to Santa Claus is a popular children's tradition. It lets them tell Santa how good they have been for the year and how deserving they can be for toys as a reward for the all the good deeds they have done. However, you might want to consider a new twist on this old tradition is having Santa write them back and encourage their good deeds.
