Problem: Article: Remember that your dog makes all of his choices out of his own self-interest. What is your dog getting for this behavior? Is it your attention, good or bad? Is it turning into a fun game for your dog? After establishing what is causing your dog to act in such a way, you’ll better understand how to change his behavior for the better. Think broadly about your dog’s behavioral issues. Most likely, your dog is acting badly for a number of reasons. You should consider a number of factors including its diet and the amount of time it spends exercising or locked up in a kennel/cage/room. Do you leap to the dog's beck and call by yelling at it or cajoling it to stop? Maybe this is exactly what your pooch wants from you. Even angry attention is attention — your dog craves to be noticed and be part of the pack. If you only notice or give attention when your dog is acting up, you are responsible for "training" him to be bad. Is there something almost “irresistible” in your dog’s space? This might take some detective work or it may be incredibly obvious! If your dog chews on slippers, remove them. If your dog can’t help but bark at people walking outside your house, obstruct its view. Set your dog up for success. When your dog behaves properly, you can reward it. Without triggers, your dog will behave better. Is there a pattern to the start of his bad behavior that coincides with a change of diet? A lot like some kids with food or additive intolerances, some dogs can be intolerant of a particular ingredient or preservative in a food and it shows it's as hyperactivity and bad behavior. If you suspect this to be the case, run a detox and either put him back on his original diet, or give him a bland (chicken and rice) diet for a couple of weeks and see if his behavior improves.
Summary: Determine the cause of your dog's behavior. Look at your behavior. Look at your dog’s environment. Consider his diet.

Problem: Article: Few things are as stressful as not knowing whether your present will be ready in time for your boyfriend’s birthday. Give yourself a couple of weeks to buffer yourself and make sure everything is right. Check how long any online orders will take to ship. Give yourself extra time when buying gifts online. Sometimes items come late or damaged. Sometimes, they don't come at all! If you know any of your friends or your boyfriend’s friends are likely to spill the beans, don’t tell them what you got your boyfriend for his birthday. Drop your boyfriend a few hints if you want to, but not anything that’s specific enough that he’ll be able to guess what you got him. He’ll appreciate what he gets a lot more if he isn’t expecting it. A beautiful presentation will make your boyfriend excited to open the gift he’s been anticipating. Not only that, but it will show your effort and that you really do care. For example:  If you got him something you can wrap, make sure the paper and ribbon complement one another and that the gift is neatly wrapped. If you got him something that’s better off written in a card, pick a card he’ll like and put some effort into making your handwriting look good. Talk about why you care for him and why you thought he would like the gift. Even if it isn’t perfect, the old saying, “it’s the thought that counts,” has been proven to be true.  People hold gifts that people spent a lot of time and energy thinking about in just as high a regard as they do gifts they’ve been asking about for months. As long as you really put some effort in and got reasonably close to the mark, he’ll love it. Keep it light if you’ve only been dating a few months. It’s pretty awkward to go on and on about how he’s your entire world if you haven’t known each other very long. Talk about how much fun you have spending time together, but don’t drop anything too heavy on him.
Summary: Have it ready well in advance. Keep it a surprise. Pay attention to presentation. Pair it with a thoughtful note.

Problem: Article: Although chlorine alone won’t keep bugs out, it will help keep the pool clean and hinder the growth of any bug larvae. 1-4 ppm (parts per million) is a safe range for swimming, and a 3-4 ppm level in particular is best for keeping the pool clean and bug-free. You can choose from a variety of chlorine forms to use in your pool, such as tablets, granules, or liquid chlorine. Use a testing kit daily to check your pool’s chlorine levels and decide how much you’ll need to replenish them. To apply the chlorine, follow the instructions that come with your product. For example, you’ll likely place chlorine tablets in a floating dispenser, skimmer, or automatic chlorinator, then wait 1-3 minutes for it to dissolve. A cover is a necessary addition to your pool, especially when it comes to sealing out any pesky bugs. Use the cover during swimming season by taking off the cover whenever you’re ready to use the pool and replacing it whenever you’re done swimming. In the cooler months, when the pool isn’t being used, keep the cover on permanently.  If you don’t already have one, you can purchase a cover and manually place it over your pool’s surface. You can also have one installed with an automatic or semi-automatic cranking system. Purchase a pool cover from a home improvement store or through a cover installation service. After placing the cover over your pool when the weather grows colder, make sure to monitor it closely. If any water collects from rain or nearby sprinklers, sweep it off onto the grass or dry it up with an old towel. Water turns stagnant after sitting for about 9 days, so check at least once a week.  Checking once a day would be even better! Use a shop vac to remove large amounts of sitting water. If water seeps through a tear in the cover, repair the area as soon as possible. To protect your patio and pool area from unwanted pests, you can put up a steel structure covered with fine netting walls around your entire swimming pool or deck area. You can either hire someone to install it for you, or you can put it up yourself with screen poles, quick-setting concrete, and a sheet of wire mesh.  Keep in mind that this is the most extreme and expensive way to keep mosquitos and other bugs out of your pool area. This structure typically costs between $3,600 to $12,000 to install, so only use this option if you can afford it and it’s absolutely necessary. This method works especially well in areas like Florida and other Gulf Coast states, where mosquitos can run rampant and pose a real health problem.
Summary:
Chlorinate your pool daily to keep it at 3-4 ppm. Place a cover over your pool when it’s not in use. Drain any sitting water on your pool cover at least once a week. Build a screened enclosure if you live in a tropical environment.
