Training your dog with voice commands will help him be a better and well-behaved dog throughout his life. When you are first start training him, keep the sessions short, around five minutes. You should also start with one command at a time until he learns it. Then move on to another command.  Repeat these sessions three times a day as you are training him. You can increase the time of these sessions as he gets older. The first lesson that your puppy should learn is 'no' or 'stop'. It will be easier for your to pick one or the other, since they basically mean the same thing and your dog will not know the meaning until you teach him. Make sure you are always firm with this command, though you should never hit him.  When you see your puppy doing something he shouldn't, tell him 'no' or 'stop'. Then pull him away from the activity and tell him again. Keep repeating this command every time he does something he isn't supposed to until he obeys you consistently. Your puppy with start to explore the things around him through his mouth. This means that he will try to chew and bite everything. When you are playing with you puppy and he goes to bite or chew on you, tell him 'no bite'. After you say this, give him a chew toy to chew on instead. This will help him associate this behavior with the toys instead of your fingers.  Do the same thing if you find him chewing objects he shouldn't, such as shoes or furniture, by saying 'no chew'. Repeat until he does this consistently. One helpful command to teach your puppy is 'sit'. To start off, stand in front of your puppy with a treat in your hand that he can see. Firmly tell him to 'sit', then push his bottom down until he is sitting. Once he is there, give him the treat and praise him.  Turn away from your puppy and let him stand back up. Then, turn back to him and tell him to sit. If he doesn't, repeat the command and push his bottom down gently. Keep doing this until he can do it on his own without your help consistently. This command works well to stop her from jumping as well. Use a leash or your hands to gently pull him back, then give him the sit command and a tasty treat when he complies. He will soon learn that he shouldn't jump. Once he has mastered many of the other commands, you can teach your dog to lay down. You can either say 'down' or 'lay down' for this command. To start, stand or sit facing your dog with a treat in your hand he can see. Tell him 'down' or 'lay down' as you move your hand with the treat down towards the floor. As he starts to lay down, even if it is only a little bit, give him the treat and praise him. Keep trying until he lies down completely on the floor consistently. The 'stay' command is one of the best to help with your puppy's safety. When your puppy is sitting in front of you, hold your hand in front of his face as wide as you can and firmly say 'stay'. Start backing away slowly. If he starts coming towards you, command him to sit again and give him praise. Then repeat the process until he stays on his own, then praise him and give him a treat. Keep doing this until he learns to stay all the time, even if you go far away and tell him to 'stay'. Another command that can help your dog stay safe is 'come'. Start out slow while you are playing in the yard. Lean down and slap your thighs, saying 'come' in a friendly voice. He will think you want to play, so he will come running to you. Give him a treat a praise.  Repeat this command at different times, especially when your puppy may be distracted by a toy, another dog, or another human. Repeat the command and praise him when he comes to you. You can also try using one of his favorite toys to entice him to you in the beginning. This command helps you stop your dog from barking at the wrong times. Keep a bag of treats handy for when he starts barking. When he does, look at him with a treat in your hand and say 'quiet'. As soon as he stops barking, give him the treat and praise. If he doesn't stop right away, show him the treat to try to get him to stop. Then repeat until he stops as soon as you say the command. As your dog ages, make sure to keep his training steady. Even after he learns all the commands, play with him and call out random commands. When he does as he is told, give him praise and treats. This will keep him sharp and make him a better, more well-behaved dog as he ages.

Refrigerant is very dangerous and can result in injuries. It can cause frostbite if it hits your skin. If you get it in your eyes, it can blind you. Follow all instructions on the label, including additional recommended protective gear. There are two ports on your air conditioner. You will add the refrigerant to the low pressure line port, not the high pressure line port. The low pressure line has larger tubing than the high pressure line, making it easy to distinguish between the 2.  Sometimes they are labeled with “H” for high and “L” for low. In some vehicles, the low pressure line port will be lower than the high port, but this is not always the case. Most kits have a hookup that only fits onto the low pressure port, making it easier to choose the right port. The cap is the little plastic cover that seals the valve. Once it’s off, make sure you put it somewhere safe so that you don’t lose it. Simply click the gauge connector over the open port. You can wiggle it gently to make sure it’s attached.  If it’s loose or comes off, try to attach it again. It’s best to select a recharge kit that comes with a pressure gauge. This allows you to easily add more refrigerant without overcharging your air conditioner. The gauge will provide a reading in psi. It should have colored zones to indicate if it’s in a safe range. Green means good, but your levels could still be lower than necessary to cool your car if it’s low in the green zone. Your ideal pressure will be determined once you test the outdoor temperature. You’ll do this when you test your system later in the recharge process. A reading of 0 means that there is no refrigerant left in your air conditioner, which will require a repair by a professional technician. Otherwise, you can charge the system yourself using your charging kit.

Put on your eye protection and gloves. Find the low pressure line port, which will have thicker tubing. Remove the port cap by unscrewing it. Hook the pressure gauge hose to the port. Check the reading on the pressure gauge. Proceed with the recharge if the pressure gauge reading is above 0.
