INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Begin training your Yorkie as soon as you bring him home. Devote plenty of time to teaching your dog the house rules (like where you want him to toilet) and any other social rules you want him to follow (like no barking at people). If you can't give plenty of time to training, consider whether you should adopt a Yorkie. Many people return their dogs to animal shelters because they don't realize the time, cost, and effort needed to train. Expose him to as many new people, environments, and situations as you can. If you can, take him on car rides, visits to the park, and short walks around the neighborhood. Just make sure that your Yorkie has his first set of vaccines before socializing him.  Let your dog have a chance to interact with men, women, and children in a positive way so that he's not scared of people. Consider enrolling your Yorkie in an obedience training or puppy socializing class. Ask your veterinarian, local pet store, or community class organization to recommend a program. . Start teaching your Yorkie basic commands like "sit", "stay", or "down". For example, you can teach your dog to sit by making him stand in front of you. When you have his attention, show him a treat between your fingers and hold it just above his head. Gradually move the treat back between his ears and he'll naturally follow it. Command him to "sit" as he begins to sit and immediately reward him, saying "good, sit" simultaneously. Train your dog when you have his full attention. If your dog starts to lose interest or is having trouble listening, stop the lesson and try again later. Yorkshire Terriers respond well to positive reinforcement and training. Teach commands by rewarding your dog when he obeys the command or makes positive steps. The reward could be food or verbal praise. Never reward negative behavior or you'll simply reinforce the bad behavior. Be consistent in your training. Remember to immediately respond to your dog's behavior so your Yorkie knows what to expect.

SUMMARY: Start training your Yorkie early. Socialize your dog. Teach your dog simple commands Use reward-based training.

You'll be taken through a few screens before installation begins, such as the terms and conditions. Most users can simply proceed through these screens without changing any information. The upgrade will not affect any of your personal files or programs. The upgrade process will usually take 20-30 minutes to finish, and your Mac will reboot once it's complete. You should still be able to find all of your files and programs in their original locations after installing the upgrade.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Put down area rugs and door mats in high-traffic areas such as entrances and frequently used hallways. Make sure you put down good mats in front of entrance points from the outside, since dirt, water and debris tend to get tracked through these areas the most.  You may want to ask your family to remove their shoes at the door as an additional safeguard. Felt floor protectors can be purchased at home improvement stores and even some grocery stores. Simply remove the adhesive backing and stick the felt protectors under chair legs, couch legs and other furniture, especially the heavier pieces. Felt protectors can help prevent damage and scratching on the floor’s surface. If your pet has nails or claws, they may scratch the surface of your floor and track in dirt. To prevent this, groom your pets frequently and keep their nails trimmed. Cut their nails so that the tips are blunted, with no sharp points. Over time, even well-maintained prefinished flooring will start to show signs of aging, such as dullness, fading and mild scratches. If you leave furniture and rugs in the same place for years at a time, your floor will age unevenly. Move your items around every year or so to prevent this.

SUMMARY: Protect the floor by using mats and rugs. Use felt floor protectors under chairs and furniture. Trim your pet’s nails regularly. Rearrange your furniture every few years.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It may seem self-evident, but knowledge is the key to writing a successful manual. For example, if you’re writing a camera manual, knowing that an f-stop and the shutter speed are not just 2 separate functions—they are—but knowing how they interact with each other will make it much easier for you to describe each function as it relates to the whole. If your role is simply the writer rather than the subject matter expert, involve knowledgeable people throughout the process and make sure they review your work. Their knowledge and advice is invaluable. If possible, doing the thing you are writing about will, at the very least, give you a feel for what the user will want to learn. Learn to talk the talk, and become conversant in the product you are writing about.  Manuals of similar products will show you how other writers have tackled the subject.  Look for similarities among the writers, which indicates both common functionality and common approaches to describing something. Look for differences that stand out. Those are likely to be functions that are unique to a given product. Your product may or may not include those functions, or may have alternate ways of solving the problem that you can describe, enhancing the value of your product. While your job may be writing a how-to, showing the customers the value of their purchase is a great way to encourage them to continue reading.   Devour trade magazines. Find out how the people who use the products work with them day-to-day. They may wish there was a function that solved their particular problem, and if your product is the solution, that needs to be highlighted.

SUMMARY:
This is key. Talk to experts. Try a hands-on approach. Read up on the subject.
