Article: From the moment you bring your eight-week old Dalmatian puppy home, he is starting to learn. He is soaking up information about his environment, so it's important you start establishing ground rules from the first day. Dalmatians have a reputation for being stubborn, so start training at the earliest opportunity. For example, if you do not intend to allow the dog on the couch but let him up as a puppy, intending to enforce the rules when you start training in a month or two, the poor dog will be very confused. If you want to keep your dog off the couch, start training him not to get on the couch from the moment you bring him home. Though your Dalmatian might be a puppy when you bring him home, start house training him immediately. This helps your puppy avoid developing any bad habits to begin with. Show your Dalmatian where the toilet spot it.  When your dog relieves himself in the correct place, immediately praise him. This is called positive reinforcement. Your praise tells him that what he did is good, and this makes him more likely to repeat the behavior. To toilet train your Dalmatian you need to supervise him indoors at all time. Keep him on a leash on your wrist, or if you can't be with him, put him in his crate for short periods of time. Every hour, take your dog to the toilet spot and praise him when he relieves himself or offer a treat. Pretty soon he'll get the idea he can get treats for free just by eliminating outside. Simply letting the dog relieve himself without giving feedback in the form of praise is an opportunity wasted. At your puppy’s young age, you are teaching him to trust you. You want your Dalmatian to want to please you when you start serious training. This means being gentle with him and using positive reinforcement. Refrain from smacking the dog, and instead praise good behavior.  When your Dalmatian puppy misbehaves, which he will do frequently, aim to redirect his behavior onto something more appropriate. For example, if he plays tug with your pants, distract his attention onto a tug toy and then praise him for playing with that. It is fine to give your puppy guidance that he is wrong for tugging on the trouser with a brief, curt "No!" Then, redirect him onto the tug toy with a happy, "Good!" This uses positive reinforcement and helps him to make judgement calls about what he's going wrong and right. Getting your Dalmatian used to people and other dogs can help prevent some behavior problems later in life. Take your Dalmatian to puppy socialization classes or dog parks so that he is confident around other dogs. This also gives your dog a chance to read other dogs' body language and learn how to react around them. Make sure to get all your dog’s shots before taking him to public places around other dogs.

Article: Once you’ve communicated with the rental company, you’ll need to call your own insurance company. Explain the circumstances of the breakdown and describe the specific problem with the rental car. Clarify whether or not you are at fault for the breakdown, and ask if damages and repairs will be covered by your insurance.  When you call your insurance company, state, “I’m driving a rental car in Florida, and the car just broke down on the side of the road. The engine stopped running, although I did nothing to put me at fault. If the rental company refuses to pay, will my car insurance cover the cost of repairs?” If the breakdown-related damages are not your fault and the rental agreement states that the rental company will pay, your insurance company may not need to get involved. It’s still best to contact the insurance company though, in case the rental company tries to make you pay for damages for which you were not at fault. Before traveling, you should find out ahead of time what type of rental-car coverage your insurance company provides. Even if you have a good vehicle insurance plan, if you get into an accident in your rental car, your insurance will likely only cover damages to the other vehicle, leaving you responsible to cover damages to the rental car.  To start this conversation, try explaining, “I’m going to be renting a car soon in Alabama. Does my car insurance cover my own vehicle in the case of a breakdown, or if I get into an accident in the rental?” Tell the company whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, as this may make a difference in the insurance rental-car coverage. Also ask if your insurance will cover fees charged by the rental agency, for example, repair and towing costs. If your insurance company does not provide coverage for damages to rental cars, you can work around this problem by purchasing rental insurance from the rental company before you begin driving the car—this will insure any damages to the rental car for which you are responsible. Some rental companies may also sell a “liability waiver.” This will clear you from liability and financial responsibility if you are at fault for damages to the vehicle.

Call your insurance company shortly after the breakdown. Ask your insurance company about coverage before you rent a car. Purchase renter’s insurance when renting a car.
