article: Using a quiet room is the best option for training. Having your dog's full attention will help it learn any new commands. Short words that are easy to understand, such as "shh" or "quiet," are helpful. Choose a gesture to help reinforce the command, such as putting your finger to your lips or making a fist. Be consistent and use the command and gesture every time. Perhaps counter-intuitively, you need to get your dog to bark to teach her how to be quiet. You could have someone ring the doorbell, or you could rattle a toy that gets her worked up.  Allow the dog to bark two or three times.  Make a sudden gesture to surprise the dog and stop him barking. When training the dog you do not give a command while the dog is barking. Instead, you while he is quiet, you give a food reward and simultaneously give your "Quiet" command.  Do not reward the dog until the dog is quiet. It can help to gently close your dog's mouth while you repeat the quiet command. Use the quiet command until your dog can be quiet on cue. Remember that it can take some time for your dog to learn new behaviors, so be patient and be consistent! When she stops, pause for a second and then praise her. Give her treats and encourage the silence.

Write an article based on this "Write the letter by hand. Choose stationery for your thank-you letter. Consider sending a gift."
article: Printing out a standard form letter is akin to sending your customer an advertisement flyer. Instead of making your customer feel special and appreciated, it might have the opposite effect and cause annoyance. Plan to write out thank-you notes individually in your own handwriting.  If you have too many thank-you notes to write to be able to write each one out by hand yourself, ask another employee to help you out. It really will be worth the time it takes to write out letters individually. If it's impossible to write the notes by hand, you'll need to find a different way to personalize them. At the very least, the customer's name and your true signature should be included in each thank you letter. In some cases it might be appropriate to write a thank-you email, rather than sending a handwritten note. This can be appropriate when you have an established personal relationship with the customer. The key is to make sure it's personalized and sincere. If there's any chance your email could be mistaken for an advertisement, send a handwritten note instead. Both thank-you cards and company stationery are appropriate for a business thank-you letter. If you have just a few notes to write, an elegant thank-you card, such as the kind you buy in a stationery shop, will make your customers feel that they are a top priority. Otherwise, use heavy-weight paper printed with your company's letterhead.  Avoid using regular printer paper for a thank-you letter. Choose thank-you cards that would be appropriate to send in any business setting. If your business is quirky and fun, it's fine to use colorful cards that represent your company the way you want it to be represented. Avoid using cards with inappropriate or overly personal images or messages. If you want to go even further to express your appreciation, you can send a small gift along with your note. This is not at all necessary, but for special customers it might be just the right thing. The gift should be small and useful. It can be representative of the services offered by your business, or something unrelated to your business but professional in nature.  Small gift ideas include bookmarks, magnets, candy, a t-shirt, or a gift certificate. The gift should not exceed a $25 - $50 value. Some companies have ethics policies that actually disallow them from accepting expensive gifts.

Write an article based on this "Lift a single loop from 1 peg directly onto the next peg. Make a stitch and transfer the remaining loop on the next peg. Cast off to leave a single loop on the last peg. Tie off the last loop and weave the tail through the center of the cord. Use your French knit cord."
article:
To begin casting off, lift the single loop from a peg using the pick or darning needle. Lift it off the peg and drop it onto the next peg that's counterclockwise to it. This peg will now have 2 loops while the original peg won't have any. You should now have 3 pegs with loops and 1 peg without loops. To cast off, use your pick or darning needle to lift the bottom stitch up and over the stitch on the peg. Drop it through the center, so only 1 loop remains on the peg. Lift the remaining loop up and onto the peg that's next to it counterclockwise. You'll now have 2 pegs without stitches. Tug on the bottom of the cord to tighten the remaining loop on the peg. Cut the yarn to leave a 5-inch (12.5 cm) tail and thread your darning needle on it. Take the yarn on the darning needle and lift the remaining loop onto the needle. Pull the yarn tightly to knot the loop so you can lift it off the peg. Insert the darning through the hollow center of the cord and pull it back out about 2 inches (5 cm) from the bottom. Trim the yarn so it's flush with the cord. For quick jewelry, sew the ends of the cord together. Use the circle to make bracelets or necklaces that you can embellish with beads, sequins, or crystals. You can also sew the cord together to make swatches of fabric for doll's clothes or simple hats and scarves. Remember that you can sew together several French knit cords to make larger knit items such as blankets or sweaters.
