Problem: Article: Bare wood always needs priming before painting as the primer acts as a sealant. When you are sure that the outside wood has thoroughly dried, use a top quality latex or oil-based primer and apply it to the entire exterior of the house.  Latex primer is an inexpensive, all-purpose choice. Bring your final paint sample when purchasing primer. Primers are usually white, but tinted ones are available to match your top coat.  Lay down a drop cloth to protect the ground and any plants in the area. Stir the primer well from the bottom of the tin to mix up all the solids that may have separated, and consider using a tray liner for your paint tray.  You can use a nylon-polyester brush, roller or an airless paint sprayer to apply the primer.  Start by priming the patched filler spots, then work your way down from the top of the outside wall to the bottom. Priming the patched areas first can improve the final paint job.  Let the primer sit for 24 hours to ensure it is completely dry. Now that the surface is properly cleaned, prepped and primed, it’s time to follow up with a great paint job. A good paint job protects your house like a raincoat. You can use a top quality 100% acrylic latex exterior paint as a topcoat - buy the best quality paint you can afford.  Before you begin, mask windows and doors with heavy plastic and once again lay drop cloths on the ground.  For primed, bare wood, you will need about one gallon of paint per each 400 square feet.  Use a nylon and polyester brush for latex exterior paint or a paint sprayer for a faster job. Always start at the top and work down so that drips are erased as you work. Follow the sun around the house as you are painting. Another coat or two will make your paint job last longer. While it may seem like an extra expense at the time, you will save yourself time and money on future repairs  by properly investing in the repair process now. If you can, you should always apply two finish coats, each within two weeks of each other.  After you’ve painted the body of the house, proceed to the trim, using an oil-based paint. Brushwork is best for applying trim tidily.  A good paint job will last for 10 to 15 years depending on the elements your house is exposed to.
Summary: Apply a coat of primer to the dry wood. Apply the final topcoat of paint to the wood. Consider applying one or two follow up coats of paint.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The proper way to walk a dog is with the dog on your left side. However, this is only necessary for formal obedience and some other sports. For pet dogs, choose whichever side is best for you, but be consistent and stick with the chosen side.  The dog should walk with its head or shoulder even with your hip. You are not holding the leash tight to keep your dog in place. The leash is slack between you, with no contact. "Right Here" is a useful command to teach your dog when standing. If your dog is not close enough or is confused about which side to sit at, slap your hip and use the command "Right Here". If needed, lure your dog to your side with a treat. As your dog learns, slowly fade the lure by using your hand without a treat, then just your hand, then more general. The lure can become a hand signal (moving your hand to your hip). The key to heeling is having your dog's attention. Start standing still with your dog sitting beside you in the correct position. Get your dogs attention by calling its name, tapping on its head, making noises, or using your pre-taught "watch me" cue.  When the dog looks up, slap your left hip with your hand and say "Right Here". This is a command. Your dog can learn to look where you indicate, and in this way you are giving your dog a reference point for where he should be while heeling. Set your dog up for success. Try your best to avoid asking for more than your dog is capable of. Remember, the key is getting your dog's attention. This can be the most difficult thing. Also, though it takes some work, while getting your dog's attention you can teach your dog to look at you when you say "Watch me" or whatever your chosen cue is. Remember to reward with a treat when your dog responds correctly. Reward your dog. Increase to two, then three, and so on. Consider every walk you have with the dog a training session. Treats are usually the most favoured and easiest option. You should positively reinforce your dog when he obeys your commands correctly. Avoid using punishment to train.
Summary:
Teach your dog proper positioning. Teach your dog to position itself correctly. Get your dog's attention. With your dog in position, take one step. Once your dog is reliably heeling, introduce speed changes and turns. Heavily reinforce your dog for good behavior with whatever they enjoy most - treats, play, petting, praise, etc.
