INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To help teach your dog bite inhibition, you will have to show them that bites are painful. Let the dog play with your hand, and when they bite too hard, make a sharp yelping noise. You may also say something like “That was bad” or “No” in a stern voice. When the dog stops biting you, praise the dog.  Only do this activity in brief spurts in a short period of time. You should not let the dog nip more than three times in fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes are up, end the activity. To teach your dog that biting (even play biting) hurts you or makes you sad, you can also yelp or cry out loudly when he does it. Once you have started teaching the dog that biting can hurt, you should start “doggy time out.” If the dog nips you or your clothing, say “ouch” sharply. Stand up abruptly and walk away out of the room. Do not play with your dog again until they have calmed down. If you do this every time they nip you, they will learn that it is unacceptable to bite or mouth you. A taste deterrent is an edible spray that tastes bad to dogs, and it can discourage the dog from nipping you or your clothing. You can apply this spray to your clothing and skin for up to two weeks. If you do not want to put it on your bare hands, spray a pair of cotton gloves and wear those while you play with your dog. You can buy taste deterrents that are safe to use on dogs from your vet or local pet store. Some common taste deterrents include:  Grannick’s Bitter Apple Spray or Gel Veterinarian’s Best Bitter Cherry Spray Bitter YUCK! No Chew Spray Nature’s Miracle No-Chew Bitter Dog Spray Apple cider vinegar A homemade version made from cayenne pepper and petroleum jelly If you are having difficulty training your dog yourself, you may have to call a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT) or behaviorist. They may be able to identify what is and is not working with your training regimen, and they can train your dog according to their unique needs. You can find a CPDT through the The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers or the The Association of Professional Dog Trainers. CPDTs often offer both group classes and individual sessions. Hitting your dog when they nip you may only cause the behavior to worsen. The dog may react defensively or aggressively towards you. They also become shy around humans or start to cower when somebody moves their hand. The best way to train a dog is by rewarding their good behavior. Ignoring the dog by walking away or giving them dog a verbal cue like “no” can also help instill good behavior in the dog.

SUMMARY: Let your dog mouth your hand. Put the dog in time out. Spray taste detergent on your hands and clothes. Hire a certified professional dog trainer. Avoid hitting the dog when they play-bite.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your skill level, the size and shape of your stone, and your intended use for the stone will all play a part in creating your design. Inspirational words, a name, flowers, leaves, the sun, or other basic shapes are great design choices for beginners.  Create your own unique design or write out a word you want to engrave. Look for stencil designs online that you can print and cut out. Create a design on your computer. Draw an image or write a word in a font you like. Size the design to fit your stone and print it onto black and white paper. Whether you're engraving an image like a flower or feather, or writing out a word, having a sketch or stencil to follow will make the process much easier and will leave you with a nicer finished project.  Practice drawing your design on a piece of paper before sketching it directly onto your stone.   Make a stencil. If you printed out a picture to use, lay a piece of tracing paper on top and go over it with a pencil. Tape the traced outline onto your cardboard or acetate and cut out the design with your craft knife. Get a feel for the engraving process using a stone similar to the one you're saving for the final project.  Use the engraving tool to create straight lines across the stone, moving in different directions. Vary the pressure you use to draw lines. Draw lines using light, feathered strokes. Go back and draw lines using more pressure. Notice the differences in the look of the lines. Draw circles or other shapes in the stone. If you're writing a word on your stone, practice making the various letters.
Summary: Select a design for your stone. Create a sketch or stencil of your design. Practice engraving on an extra stone.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose a medium or large sauce pan to form the base of your double boiler. This should be relatively tall, especially if you'll be using the double boiler for a recipe with a long cooking time. This can be any heat-proof container that fits snugly over the sauce pan, so most of the steam is trapped between them. There should be at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the bases of the two containers, and preferably more.  Aluminum, copper, and (non-stainless) steel all conduct heat quickly. These will provide the shortest cooking time and prevent hot spots from forming.  Stainless steel, heat-proof glass, and ceramic are best if you are cooking acidic ingredients, since they are non-reactive. They conduct heat more slowly, so be sure to stir frequently to avoid hot spots. Glass also makes it easy to check on the water level. Set aside the smaller container now that you've confirmed it fits. Fill the larger pan with about 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) of water, but make sure there is plenty of space between the water and the smaller container. If the two pans fit tightly together and there is not enough space between them, the steam buildup could cause an explosion.  Although an explosion is very unlikely, the risk increases for recipes with long cooking times. For these recipes, use containers that do not fit perfectly together, so steam can escape through the gap between them. Lift the pan to allow steam to escape if it starts to rattle. The longer the cooking time your recipe calls for, the more water you'll need. Place the larger pot on the stove and heat until boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low until the water reaches a steady simmer. Leave the smaller pot on the counter while you wait for the water to boil. If you heat it along with the larger one, the hot surface could burn your ingredients when you add them. Place your ingredients in the smaller container, then place the container over the simmering pot. Cook as directed in your recipe. Stir the ingredients to ensure they heat evenly.  Despite the name, a double boiler should stay at a low simmer. Reduce heat if the water starts to boil, and add a little hot water if it starts to boil low. If the sauce starts to seize up or stick to the pan, just pick up the smaller container and whisk for a minute to reduce the temperature. Remember that there is trapped steam in the double boiler, and that the base of the small container is very hot. Use pot holders or oven mitts, and tilt the container toward you so steam escapes on the opposite side.

SUMMARY:
Place a sauce pan on the stove. Place a smaller pan or mixing bowl on top. Pour water into the large pan. Heat water to a simmer. Heat the ingredients in the smaller container. Remove the small container from the heat.
