Article: Training a dog to be a service dog takes time, so let your dog learn at its own pace. If you get frustrated, then the dog will begin to dread its training sessions. Try to work with the dog for 10-15 minutes at a time to reduce stress on both of you.  It’s okay to do more than 1 training session a day, though no more than 3 sessions per day are recommended. Try to use this time to bond more with your dog. There is no maximum age, so an older dog can become a great service dog if it has the right disposition. If you don’t know your dog’s age, ask a vet to help estimate it. Keep your dog’s age in mind when considering the tasks you want it to perform. For example, a young dog may be more active than you’d like, and an old dog may be less strong. More training than necessary is best, but the minimum requirement to get a dog certified is 120 hours of training over at least a 6 month period. Of those hours, 30 must involve taking the dog in public. Train your dog in short sessions spread over time, and expect to do refresher trainings.  You must use positive, non-aggressive training methods in order to certify your dog, so don’t use fear to teach your dog.  Stop a training session if the dog gets frustrated or tired, as continuing could make the dog resist training. Remember that the amount of training the dog receives is not what’s most important. The dog must also be able to do the skills required of a service dog. Training a service dog takes a lot of work, and a professional may be the answer. You can find an accredited trainer by speaking with your dog’s vet or by searching online in your area.

Article: These receivers, usually made of heavy steel and often with sharp corners, can be dangerous to inattentive pedestrians trying to walk as close to parked vehicles as possible to give drivers more room. This is very important where landscaped areas are within the curb boundaries, since jumping the curb may damage plants and irrigation components. Driving at highway, or even street speeds, in a parking lot filled with puddles of rainwater can inundate a passing pedestrian, or even another driver who is traveling with their window down. It also makes it harder to stop quickly if a child should run out or a wayward cart start rolling across your path. You may feel like they were discourteous, but showing grace, rather than anger, shows more class and prevents reciprocal aggression.

Remove trailer hitch receivers if they hang out of the parking place. Avoid curb hopping. Slow down in the rain. Resist temptation to blow the horn (or give the finger) to other drivers. When parking in a spot and opening doors, be aware of vehicle on each side of you as to not hit the doors and producing dings, scratches or dents, as these can be very costly to repair.
Article: If you have been found by EDD to be eligible for UI benefits, you will be sent a Continued Claim Form, which can also be found here. You will fill out this form and mail it, file it online, or complete the process over the phone. This process will need to be repeated every two weeks.  If you are filing online you can go here and follow the directions to complete the form. The Continued Claim Form includes questions regarding whether you were able to work; whether you looked for work; whether you did in fact work work; and finally, the form asks you to complete a work search record, which asks you to report the jobs you applied for.  If you have concerns about how you should answer certain questions on the Continued Claim Form, you can follow this guide. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to answer each question on the form. If you find work while you are receiving UI benefits, you are required to disclose that information on your biweekly Continued Claim Form. Whether you receive money for your services or not, you still must disclose the number of hours you worked, who you worked for, how much money you made, and whether you are still working there. Failing to report this information can result in UI fraud, which may subject you to severe punishment. Be sure you look here for information on how to correctly report any income you receive. UI benefits normally last for one year. If you have received one year of UI benefits and are still unemployed and otherwise eligible for normal UI benefits, you may be able to receive a federal extension on your UI benefits. If you are eligible, EDD will automatically file your first extension and they will simply continue to send you your Continued Claim Form every other week. If you need to file more than one extension, EDD will again automatically do so for you and continue to send you your Continued Claim Forms.
