In order to get a dog to do whatever you want it to do, simply keep it in a calm, submissive mindstate by saying, "Sh!" and tapping it once it leaves that state of mind. You should also give off positive, dominant yet calm and assertive energy. And, oh yeah, own the space around you. That should do it.

Once that bird died of old age, we got a few more as quasi-replacements (one at a time, different times), but they never could replace the first, so we ended up giving both away. They can be pretty fun, but they can also squawk a lot, they live a long time, they sort of need regular maintenance (bedding, beaks and nails and wings), and god you have that bird dander everywhere which is just disgusting. I guess if you bathe them more (or take in the shower), you could cut down on that, but I'm trying to never have a bird in the house again if possible. My advice is to tell the kid tough shit. In a friendly way, of course.

This is how Thurgreed trained his daughter and it worked wonders with her.

Dude, once the bottle is open, it's open. It must be finished. The problem only arises when you're on that third bottle.

Yep. I used Ty's method with your wife, though (with similar results).

That is pretty sweet. Now they need to make videos to play in cycling classes to go along with the bike.

Sweet. Now if I didn't have to get a new trainer to use the videos (or, at least, that's what it looked like on a quick glance at the products).

Oh, aren't you just the cleverest thing! If you try real hard and pay even less attention to grammar, spelling or content, I bet you could push right through the 69,000 post barrier! Go, man, go!
