Article: Consistency is the key to training your Saint Bernard puppy. You should use the same words every time you give a command. This makes it clear to your puppy what you expect. Make sure you always expect the same thing for your dog and apply the same rules. Don’t allow your puppy to ignore your sit command before you put on the leash or reward them for jumping if you don’t want them to learn these behaviors. Talk to everyone in your household about the rules and make sure they understand the command words and what is expected of your puppy. Saint Bernards can be trained, but they are stubborn. They will test their boundaries and may resist training for a while. Remember, your puppy is still young and growing. They will learn, but it will take time. Keep reasonable expectations, reinforce the behaviors consistently, stay calm, and remain positive, and your puppy will learn eventually. Positive reinforcement training is one of the most effective ways to train your puppy. Positive reinforcement uses rewards to reinforce good behavior. Your puppy learns that if they perform a desired action, they will receive something good in return. Use treats, petting, verbal praise, and toys as rewards for good behavior. Ignore any undesired behaviors. Responding in any way reinforces the behavior. Turn your back and ignore the behavior until your puppy stops it. Saint Bernards will not listen or respect owners who use punishment with them. Trying to correct negative behavior with punishment is not an effective training method. Yelling or physically hurting the puppy will more than likely not change the behavior, but rather make the puppy scared of you or lead to bad behaviors. Instead, focus on positive reinforcement methods.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be consistent. Be patient. Use positive reinforcement training methods. Avoid punishment.

Problem: Article: All you need is a little bit of butter spread across the pans with a paper towel, or a nonstick cooking spray. Use a whisk, an electric mixer, or a stand mixer (like a Kitchen-Aid). It usually helps, furthermore, to pre-scramble the eggs with a fork to make sure the yolks and whites mix in evenly. Take these three wet ingredients and mix them together in a small bowl off to the side. Remember that, the darker and more ripe the banana, the better it will be for banana cake, as overripe bananas are sweeter and softer. When done mixing the wet ingredients, add to the oil and egg mixture. Mix together all of these powdered, dry ingredients and then use a fork or a whisk to break up any clumps. For perfect cakes, you should sift the flour in, which perfectly breaks up clumps for a nice smooth batter. Add the walnuts, and if using, the sultanas. Chocolate chips are also a wonderful addition that could go in now, if desired. If you have an electric mixer, this is your best choice. Turn it on low and slowly incorporate the flour mixture into your milk/oil/banana mixture, adding the flour, mixing in 80% of it then adding more flour. Mix until all of the dry ingredients are mixed with the wet. Make sure it is level and without air pockets. A good way to do this is to bang fill the tins up and then bang the bottom of the pans on the counter top lightly, which should shake out any air bubbles. If you stab the cake with a skewer, it should come out with no wet batter, only a few crumbs. As soon as you remove the cakes, let them cool for 3-5 minutes and then turn them out onto wire racks to finish cooling completely.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC and grease two cake tins. In one bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, sugar, and the beaten eggs. Mash the bananas into the milk and vanilla and then mix in. In a different bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet ones, mixing the entire time. Fill both pans equally with batter. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the cake looks golden brown.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hula hoops that are larger and heavier are great for beginners because the added weight gives the hoop more momentum as it moves around you making it easier to keep the hoop up.  Heavier hoops are also suggested if you are learning a new skill or trick. If you are under 5 foot 4 inches (10.2 cm) and relatively slim you will want to find a lighter hoop with a smaller tubing diameter. A smaller tubing diameter will make it easier for you to grip the hoop with your hands. A lighter hoop will also be easier to maneuver for a person with a small frame. A hula hoop without grips can be slippery and difficult to keep up even for someone who is experienced. Purchasing a hula hoop with grips will allow you to have fuller contact with the hoop. Grips should be placed along the inner ring of the hoop to be the most effective. You can also wrap grips around the hoop to allow for fuller contact. Types of grips include:   Sandpaper: use 100 grit or 80 grit sandpaper around the inner tubing, and add grooves into the hoop, which gives more texture for your hands, clothes, and body to connect with. Griptape: is twisted around the hoop and comes in a variety of colors. Hoop wax: is translucent and rubbed onto the hoop in the desired area. It is very sticky.

SUMMARY: Decide on a heavier hoop if you are a beginner. Use a light hula hoop if you are short. Pick a hula hoop that has grips or add grips yourself.
