(1) How do you plan to address the room creativity expectation?
I plan to address the room creativity expectations by covering the walls with black cloth to make the room look cleaner and neater. On top of the black cloth I plan to blow up different pictures of guide dogs in training doing the different commands and to show the different breeds. I think I'm going to either take out the desks and make them sit on the floor or see if I can get enough chairs and make a semi circle so I can have enough room to do my activities.
(2) What activity ideas do you have for answer 1 or 2?
I'm not sure what I want to do for answer 1 activity because I'm not sure how to show consistency in training.
For answer 2 since my answer is praise I want to have the kids make a giant circle in the class room with Havana and I standing in the center and make one of the students call Havana, praise her, make her sit and then praise her again and let another student call her and do the same.

Puppy Proofing your Home
L: puppies can eat cabinets, furniture, carpet and damage a wide variety of other things.
I: not only will you have to pay for the repares, you will also have to pay to have your puppies stomache pumped of foreign material.
L: Simple and easy solution for this is crating up your puppy. A crate is a container made up of wire or mesh and is able to hold your puppy comfortably.
I: other solutions are fencing off part of your house or garden so your puppy won't be able to get into trouble. Make sure you also puppy proof the fenced off area so your puppy will not eat anything like rocks or poisonous plants.
L: Puppies are still too immature to handle temptations such as plastic bags, feathers, shoes... Moste dogs depending on the breed gain maturity when they're about 6 months old.
I: puppies are exactly like babies you gotta be watching them at all times to make sure they don't eat anything that will make them choke and die.
L: puppies are smaller and more active then human babies, not to mention they have claws and teeth making that easier to get into things. Important things you need to look out for are electrical wires seeing that they can give your puppy a nasty shock.
I: Apparently if your puppy never gets electricuted then you are doing a great job.
L: next step of puppy proofing is teaching the puppy what is acceptable to chew on and what isn't.
I: to do this there are a variety of training tools you can use; such as biter apple spray. Biter apple leaves a biter stain without staining whatever you are spraying. Use this spray as a training aid never depend on it to keep your puppy out of trouble.
L: At 4 to 5 months puppies will begin to get their permenant teeth.
I: that means a lot more biting!
L: some things you can do to help ease the pain of the new teeth is to freeze a wet towel to help numb the pain of the new teeth and to soften the kibble a little bit with warm water.
I: have to heck with Cindy to see if these are GDA approved methods.
L: puppies loose their teeth in a pattern first the front ones, premolars, molars, and then finally the canine teeth.
I: bleeding(ew) is normal and should cause no concern when puppies loose their teeth.
L: a puppy will never release where it sleeps, unless the crate is too large, there are soft blankets to obsorb the mess or the puppy has been in there too long and cannot hold it any longer.
I: use the fact that the puppy never pees where they sleep, crate a pee schedule that both you and your puppy can follow.
L: two important rules of house training are puppies have to go pee after eating and after waking up.

Blog 19: Answer 2
EQ: What is the best way to raise and train a guide dog?
Answer 2: One of the best ways one can train a guide dog, is to praise the puppy after she has successfully done a command correctly.
Evidence:
1)While I was attending a puppy kindergarten class the main thing they always told me is to praise my puppy to let them know they are doing a good job. Whether when it was when we called her to come or when she was climbing stairs we always had to tell her that she was a good girl and she was doing a good job.
2) In the Guide Dogs of America Puppy Manual there is a whole section on the commands that we are aloud to teach our puppy, and after that section there is a whole section on praise. In this section of the puppy manual you learn that the only real way to train a puppy without the aid of training aids is to use praise. Praise when training your puppy is a great way of letting your puppy know that she is doing a good job. After you have been giving praise to your puppy for a week, she waits until you praise her, then she happily moves on to the next command.
3) From personal experience, while i am raising my puppy, i can say that i would have never been able to teach her any of the commands she knows if i had not been able to use praise. From what i saw and observed, praise is what gives the puppy confidence and the will to do something new if they have their mommy,or daddy, there cheering them on.

Blog 18: The Product
Product: New skills obtained to train puppies.
As of March my product is, my new skills at training puppies. Before i started my research and my independent component i had no idea how to go about training a puppy, or even a dog for that matter. After doing research and receiving my Guide Dogs of America Puppy Manual, i learned a variety of ways you can teach a puppy a new command,which include kibble and praise training.
Evidence: Here are two different pictures of my puppy Havana doing two commands, stand and sit.
