How To Train A Dog

Any information on keeping peregrine falcons?

After seeing several birds of prey during long back seat drives along open moterways, I have become fasinated with the peregrine falcon!
ivseen many videos of them on youtube and read lots of info on the web!
But i cant seem to find any information on keeping them as pets. (If ‘pet’ is the correct word to use?)
Theres nothing i would love more than to have one of these companions acompany me and the dogs in the field!
any information or links about this would be very helpful in my research!
how to house them, conditions, how to train etc.
Thankyou very much!

How do I stop my German Shepherd/Lab from going nuts at people/dogs?

Okay, I got this beautiful pup when I was small and my Mother and Father are POOR parents let alone good people to watch my dog…. sorry but it’s true lol they are. Anyways, being that I was young and just wanted something to say.. look at my pup!!! and not really realizing the hard work that goes into maintaining my baby to be full health and happiness. I forgot to feed her sometimes and my mom would feed her less or more. We fed her table food… which was the WORST thing that i could have ever done.. she will not eat ANY doggy dry/wet food at all.. I’ve tried all.. Innova/Blue/every other brand that has no harmful ingredients and she will NOT touch it.. she will starve herself and puke yellow stuff all day, :’[ I cry everyday from this but she refuses. I do not have enough money to feed her the good meats and veggies(“ppl” food) and my mom will def. not allow that. anyways.. lol real question here ..
why is she going bananas over people walking by or especially dogs, she will bark like she wants to bite ur head off and pull SOOO hard at the person. she had not been properly socialized at all. I did train her … she is amazingly smart and is such a good baby inside the house. she goes potty outside, she sits.. paw.. speak.. stay.. come.. says I love you lol not a joke, look youtube and search that.. exactly what she does lol she rolls over .. she plays dead(stays on back) she’ll keep the treat on her nose till I say ok have it… I mean she’s amazing indoors like I said but outdoors is a complete nightmare. My dad does abuse her, not to the point of blood but will give her a knock on the head and punch in the stomach :’[ I know I’m crying as i type but of course I can not tell my dad what to do and I tell him all the time stop it but yeah… anyone give me some tips cause I refuse to give her away, over my dead body. Something that I can do while I’m on a walk with her? Any bark collars? etc etc that you recommend?? Any help is greatly appreciated tyvm!!!!!

a penny for your thoughts on how in depth mmorpg’s may eventually go?

i play WoW which is a little too basic for my tastes (very addictive though)

but i’m wondering, do people think that eventually mmorpgs will get so advanced that we can actually attend virtual schools within them? perhaps learning about physics, math, art, science, history, etc, etc?

and perhaps see who may be the best players at actually piloting US ARMY unmanned aerial-drones, and robots etc .. like this dog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpBG-nSRcrQ maybe?

you get the idea i think … basically how long before we start creating little micro-matrix’s within these games?

like imagine just in WoW, if we could have our own houses, and invite other players in just to watch cable tv on an in game TV, or mp3s on the stereo etc?

or will mmorpgs even take this direction ever?

i think maybe “second life” came close … to my understanding people could program anything they wanted into the game, but legal issues stopped reality in regard to digital pregnant teenagers, and banks that could launder real money .. i’m not sure though, because i could never get that game installed

lastly if i just wanted to play an mmorpg right now … which one would you say, most accurately would let me (in a simulation i know) control theoretical unmanned vehicles, robots, and aerial drones, with weapons capability etc? .. for like potential army training or whatever .. “someone has to drive the robots” ~ that’s good, i think i’ll write it down lol

thankyou

Starting a new relationship with puppy and training help?

Background Info:

I’m 14 years old and I got my puppy on September 20 and he was 5 months at the time. He is now about 7 almost 8 months old. The first month I absolutely loved him, never left him, watched him as he slept and all that good stuff. After a while and a lot of training attempts gave me frustration and so I started to stop walking him, stop training him, and I’ve been ignoring him a lot when he’s in my room or when I’m on the computer etc. My dad gets home about 7 everyday and he always plays with him and it seems so much more meaningful when my dad plays with him than when I do. Maybe I see it that way because I’m jealous? Also I have a problem, whenever I get frustrated I tend to pick him up and shake him and bear hug him really hard. This used to happen a lot but I’ve been trying to stop and I know he hates it. My role in taking care of the dog is taking him out, feeding him, picking up his poop, bathing him, walking him, nearly everything. My dad feeds him and takes him out and plays with him more than I play with him and I’ve been really really lazy with the walking and training. Oh also, I let him sleep in my room at night in his cage. He still isn’t completely potty trained, he rarely has pee accidents but he poops a lot in the house. I may have left some things out but here are the questions:

1. Is it too late for me to start over with my puppy?
2. Should I be the only one that feeds him? Trains him?
3. Does him sleeping in my room change anything or should I just keep him in the laundry room at night when he sleeps?
4. How do I get him to look at me as a father or pack leader?
5. How should potty training go? Techniques, tricks?
- For potty training, should I give him a treat every time I say go potty and he goes?
6. Should I make a schedule to walk him twice a day and specific training times?

Training questions:

7. What are some tricks I can teach him?
-Currently he knows how to sit, shake, lay down, and roll over.
8. How should I play with him without wrestling him?
-I read that if I wrestle him and he bites etc. he looks to me as a littermate instead of a pack leader or dad. What are some ways I can play with him without wrestling? The only thing I can really think of is fetch and that kinda gets repetitive after a while.

I really want my dog to love me and I need to stop being lazy. Please, if you have anything to add share it please!

Oh and he’s a beagle/chihuahua mix and he looks like this:

Thank you so much if you’re able to answer all these questions!
