Looking For New Friend

When you are considering upgrading or revamping to a new home look for a location that fits with the natural landscape and landscaping. Very simply put if you have to do major renovations to your property - then you are going to interfere and cut into your land's natural energy as well as your properties symmetrical and balanced energies.

If at all possible, choose a house that is high on a hill, without super tall trees and with plenty of natural wildlife - such as songbirds and chipmunks. Unless you are living in a prairie try to be on that higher ground - or at least on the higher side of the street, avenue .road or lane. All in all your property will have more lifeblood, prosperity yet privacy and ultimately good luck and karma.

In terms of real estate and real estate agents and vendors always stress the following concerns and points when searching for that "perfect home".

First that the block should be rectangular. Bays and coves are just not that good when it comes to Feng Shui home considerations. If a rectangular, balanced form block is not available the next choice is a landscaping setup where the layout of the land and property is wider at the back end than at the front portions. Wealth and luck flows this way foreword. In fact triangular blocks tend to be stagnant in nature and powers as they gather up qi at their 3 corners.

If you can gather and chance upon a property that has an outlook over water at the front this is marvelous and most preferred. Whether it is a lake, bay or even along a river is great Feng Shui. Being along the ocean itself can command great powers. However if you are along a stormy coast - then the energies involved and dissipated might not be as wise a choice. In the same vein it is best to avoid a block of land next to a drainage canal. This goes without explanation. Canals are meant to drain away all the worst residues, left over products and excesses. Why tempt fate and dilute your good luck and fortune.

In terms of trees and landscaping of the property - it's a two way street. The initial landscaping on a property may well indicate the powers and lay of the land. On the other hand trees and bushes can grow, can be watered. Additional trees and bushes can be planted. Overall it is good to choose a nicely planted and maintained yard. However ensure that your land is not closed in by large, oversize trees which are taller than your house. Chalet or cottage or block it, Large trees, as well as other large homes nearby, can cause you trouble and hardship sine they can easily block vital qi.

Lastly look at the very condition of the property, its vegetation and "wildlife". All of these factors are both indicators and markers of the very qi of your new abode and life. Vegetation should be bright and shining. The land should be moist - not too dry, too damp or wet and sodden. The birds should be singing and chirping, the neighborhood cats and dogs alive and playful. All f this means for a good solid life and growth for yourself and your family. Feng Shui

Looking For New Friend

Knowing how to communicate properly with your dog lies at the heart of the housetraining process. Lecturing, yelling or other forms of punishment will not achieve the desired result. The key is to reward good behavior. Puppies are like babies, much too young to be held responsible for their bowel movements. Punishments are not the way to get through to your puppy. If you are going to use the crate method it's vital that you learn about the proper, humane method to housetrain your dog.

Choosing the right crate

This is very important when it comes to the humane treatment of your puppy. A crate that is too small is very cruel. The puppy should have enough room to maneuver around and be comfortable inside. If the crate is much too large - the puppy might even relieve himself inside the crate.

The plastic varieties of crates are much easier to clean, durable and easier to carry around than the metal varieties.

It is also cruel to leave your puppy inside the crate for too long. Night time is crate time and often even very young puppies can go the entire night without soiling their crates.

You will want to slowly get the puppy used to the crate. The idea here is to create a positive feeling about the crate. Put a nice soft blanket inside and your puppy's favorite toys too. You can also put some yummy treats inside to entice your dog.

Never, ever force your dog inside the crate. It is his sanctuary within your home.

Tips for housetraining

- Prepare the area that your puppy will spend most of its time in with a layer of newspaper.

- Designate an official toilet area for your puppy

- Supervise (or have the children do it) until the puppy has relieved himself.

- If your puppy starts sniffing or circling pick him up and get him outside fast!

Golden rules for housetraining your dog using the crate method:

- Take your puppy out first thing in the morning

- Take your puppy out directly after meals

- If your puppy has had an accident be sure to clean the area thoroughly. Use a product that will remove the odor.

- Never punish your puppy for accidents. You would never yell at your baby and put her nose in her mess. Rather use positive reinforcement when your puppy does her business outside.

- Take your puppy out just before bedtime and make sure he does his business.

- Give praise freely where it is due. Treats, walks and positive reinforcement will go a long way toward getting your puppy to understand that eliminating outside is the goal.

Housetraining your puppy will take time and patience. The kind of dog and your methods will greatly influence how long it takes for your puppy to be fully housetrained.

There is a reason that the crate method is the most widely used housetraining method. It works well. Of course housetraining your puppy isn't your only concern when it comes to raising a well behaved dog. You will also want to set some distinct boundaries. Puppies should not be allowed free reign of the house; at least not until they are fully housetrained. Your puppy is a sponge and above all - keen to please you. You are the pack leader and the puppy will look to you to figure out what is and isn't acceptable in your home.

By deciding early what your puppy may chew on and what furniture he is allowed on you can eliminate confusion and behavioral problems later in life.
