Heading for Shelter
In the towns of the North, whether Arab or Jewish, the question is not whether there will be another war, but rather when it should be expected to break out.
More than 100 people gathered on Tuesday in a hall at the Palm Beach Hotel in Acre and listened attentively to instructions on how to respond to calls into the emergency hotline center. Usually these training sessions turn into a kind of "fun day," which is used to let participants have a good time and to strengthen social ties between them. Not this time. The participants, Jews and Arabs who hold official positions in local authorities in the North, participated in discussions and listened to the lectures attentively.
A year after the Second Lebanon War, they are not analyzing the hostilities that were; they are planning for the next war. The training day, one of an ongoing series of 15, was initiated by the Hosen Center for Trauma Intervention. The meetings are aimed at improving the functioning of municipal employees who are in direct contact with the population during times of emergency and in trauma situations. In short, they're taught how to cope when hundreds of panicked phone calls are coming in all at once - what to say and how to sound confident, even if you haven't the faintest idea what to do.
"The last war caught us with our pants down," says Carmiel Deputy Mayor Rina Greenberg, whose municipality in fact did function well during the war. Madi Abu Jaban, the executive officer of a long-term plan that Hosen is operating in Maghar, says cynically that "just as the weaponry is getting more sophisticated and is killing better, we too have to get more sophisticated." These two statements sum up dozens of conversations with residents of the North. Each of them in his own style and his own words, all of them are united in the opinion that another war is inevitable, with the only question being when it will break out.
Veterinarian Riad Bashara, of Tarshiha, believes that another war is coming, even though he is convinced that neither side is interested in it. Bishara, who is affiliated with the Hadash party, is a member of the Ma'alot-Tarshiha municipal council (and a cousin of former Balad MK Azmi Bishara). He was among the first to demonstrate against the Second Lebanon War. Now he fears that the prime minister and his government colleagues will use the next war to distract the public from concentrating on their failures in the last.
The certainty that there will be another war is stated without hysteria, even with resignation. Local governments, the police and Magen David Adom emergency medical services are all holding practice exercises aimed at improving the level of their functioning in case of a true alarm. This, while many in the North still bear the scars of the last war on their bodies and minds. Hundreds of inhabitants of the region are still being treated at trauma centers operated by Hosen.
One of them is Abu Jaban's 19-year-old daughter. Like others, she is experiencing nightmares, troubled sleep and anger. If indeed another war breaks out, it will at least fall on people who are more experienced, but also more scarred. A psychiatrist in the border town of Ma'alot has made it clear to one mother that her son is not psychologically capable of withstanding another war. The mother has begun to plan what to do when that moment arrives.
The deepest scar is the one that has been left on residents who feel they were abandoned by the state, whose institutions seemed to disappear at the very moment they were needed more than ever. When the civic leaders of Carmiel are asked what lesson they learned from last summer's war, they all answer, unambiguously: Above all, to be prepared for the next one. The rest was expressed by each of them in his own way. "We need to internalize that we are alone; there is no state," the head of the security and safety department at Carmiel city hall, Yair Koren, says flatly.
"Why alone?" Moshe Levy, the head of the municipality hotline in Carmiel scoffs bitterly. "There were ministers who came here during the war and made 'V for victory' signs."
In Carmiel, they have decided to seize the initiative, and, bypassing the current law, are incorporating responsibility for dealing with private shelters into the municipal framework as well. The citizens are having a hard time coping on their own with the needed renovations, but at the same time the state government has shrugged off dealing with them. But Carmiel has turned to its sister city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, whose Jewish community has donated half a million dollars for renovation of the shelters.
Isn't it a disgrace to rely on private donors for such basic needs? Feelings of disgrace, they say in Carmiel, are a luxury they can't afford. "If we were to wait for the state, there wouldn't be anything. This way we have renovated 160 shelters," says Rina Greenberg, who was a candidate on the Kadima list for the Knesset. Abu Jaban doesn't even think that there's shame involved. If only he could find a twin city for Maghar, he muses aloud. Or at least an Arcadi Gaydamak.
Beautiful remnants
The shelters are a painful subject. Among the Arabs, as among the Jews. In Maghar and in the Old City of Acre, for example, not a single public shelter has been built since the war. We met Nabil Mansour and Fares Magaur from Acre at a local in the Old City, smoking narghiles (hubble-bubble water pipes) against the backdrop of the Old City walls, remnants of other wars.
There is no denying: When they become a distant chapter in history, there are wars that can leave behind a beautiful landscape, and such is the case in Acre. It is doubtful that the Second Lebanon War will leave anything beautiful behind. What charm can there be in a truck driver who jumped out of his rig upon hearing a Katyusha rocket, and without a shelter nearby could only cover his head with a large piece of cardboard? Magaur relates that for nearly a month he hid from the Katyushas in the empty water cistern in his home.
Mansour, a maintenance man, wears a cap from Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party, with text on it in Russian. This multicultural choice amuses him, although less than the fact that his first wife, the mother of his two elder children, was Jewish, and his second wife, the mother of his two younger children, is a Muslim. To the question of which is better, he replies that "all women are the same." He loses his sense of humor when the conversation turns to the topic of the war - both the one that was and the one that he is certain is yet to be - and especially the topic of the shelters that don't exist. "The buildings in Acre are attached to one another and if a Katyusha falls in the Old City, 15 or 20 buildings go in one blow," he warns. "The Katyushas don't distinguish between Jew and Arab; the government does."
Samir Battah, an employee of the Histadrut labor federation and a member of the Acre municipal council, says that in that city people are talking about a war this summer as though it were a fait accompli, and are even thinking in terms of a date. The talk, he says, is not congruent with the minimal preparedness in the Arab section of the city. "The Defense Ministry has promised to provide shelters for the Arab area, but it hasn't done a thing. Not in our Old City, not in other Arab locales. Among the various answers I've received, they have also said that the Old City walls and the ancient buildings are strong and sturdy."

Thanks so much for the tutorial, for a while I was using Autodesk 3ds Max 8... which I have actually learned how to use some of it's functions except for assigning new material to a newly added polygon... which I'd really like to learn how to do that.
As far as I'm concerned... I have fixed the material on Nuvema Town after importing the .obj into 3ds Max 8 and got it's textures working correctly, just by simply going to material editor, which is that box with the four coloured balls on it. Once you've opened it, in where it says "Self-Illumination"... click on the square on the right, then double click bitmap and select the texture you'd like, then click "Show Map in Viewport", which has an icon that looks like a cube with squares on it.
However... I've tried that with a newly added polygon and it doesn't work, if someone is able to tell me before I learn how to, I would be greatly appreciated.
Anyways, if anyone is trying to extract the model data of a map in Black/White or Black2/White2, you will have to use a hex editor for it and your intelligence. First you start off at where it says in the text "BMD0", which is the title of the BMD0 header, then select the bytes all the way down to where there is Euro cent symbols in the text, once you get there, look in the hexadecimal bytes area... and look for a "20 00 20", if you find it... stop the selection before those bytes, 'cause that area marks the header for (what I assume is) the movement permissions. After you've done that... copy those bytes and paste them onto a new file and save it as .nsbmd.

Day 3 of Spark Streaking
Friday, March 08, 2013
Day 3-I did my 15 minute T-Tapp workout and 1 mile speed walk early this morning.
I had my house cleaned and while that was happening I had my hair done and had another amazing massage. I am usually really tired after these really powerful massages, but there was no opportunity to rest with picking up my son and going to his voice recital followed immediately by 3 of my granddaughters ballet recital. They are were wonderful. What a wonderful day.
I was so tired that I started falling asleep while writing the first sentence of this blog. I am determined to keep my journal updated regardless.
With the full busy day and all, I did manage to do another set of Ho Downs tonight. I will be glad when I am willing to remember to do them after every meal. I am pretty sore from the T-Tapp anyway.
After the recitals we went out for a bite to eat. I did enjoy some french fries and shared a shake with my son. Most of the time junk for is not the least appealing or tempting. Tonight it tasted good and I know better than to feel guilty. I never (no I'm not exaggerating) choose junk food for myself and rarely eat it when I am with others who do eat it. No worries. I am more concerned about losing inches, being fit and healthy and even more importantly healing my mindset. If I stay committed to T-Tapp and walking I will lose the inches and if I stay committed to Tapping, I will heal my mindset about my body and myself. I've come a long ways and there is much more to go.
Good night, before I fall asleep with my hands on the keyboard again. Time to allow the massage to integrate. I'm too tired to bother with soaking in the tub in raw apple cider vinegar, which my therapist recommended, but I plan to do it tomorrow.

You seem to be doing so well...everything under control. So good! But this week I have been hearing about the wonders of apple cider vinegar from all kinds of people, essentially for lowering cholesterol and for eliminating heartburn. Now why does your therapist recommend bathing in it? And how many bottles does it take to fill the tub?

on the soundtrack to the movie Orange County, starring Jack Black, and we
here at Etnies just gave away a bunch of Tenacious D CDs.....well, whatever.
You get the picture.
In any case, Quarashi may remind you of the Beastie Boys except with less

4th. Oh, and they like to wear Etnies. Watch their new video for "Stick
'Em Up", fill out the form and 25 lucky winners will win a Quarashi

Dealing with Sandfly Bites
My guess is that you are visiting this page because you, your husband (just guessing!) or your child has bug bites. And I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure it is no comfort that thousands of people visit this page every month. Bugs can really, really impact badly on you. I'm American and have been living & working in New Zealand for nearly 20 years. I have been helping people deal with sandflies and bites for 16 years now, and I will give you as many ideas as I can.
|These ideas will apply to mosquito bites as well. And, being the creator of Goodbye Sandfly which is the #1 selling natural repellent in New Zealand and healing balm Goodbye Ouch, as well as the author of Why Natural Matters, the ideas will be more natural. Because that's what I believe in. With respect, Becky
ps. If you want to experience the nourishment you get when you use truly crafted natural products, follow me over to our display counter. This is what comfort from bugs and bites looks like.
Top Tips for Avoiding Getting Bitten:
- The best defense against getting sandfly and mosquito bites is to dress well: Long sleeve, ankles and feet covered, you know- pretty much covered up.
- Find a repellent that you know, like and trust and that your kids think is great. That way you avoid wrestling your child down to give them a spray of something they don't want to know about.
Sandfly Report for More Information on Sandflies, Bites, Diseases
You probably have more questions about dealing with bites and staying comfortable and safe in bug areas. With 18 years of living with sandflies, I have learned a LOT about taking care of myself and my family even when biting insects are hungry. This information is useful no matter what bugs you have to deal with: mosquitoes, no-see ums, black flies, AND sandflies.
I've put it all together in the Sandfly Report, a 12 page PDF with more answers and great simple tips.
Thankfully, we don't have any sandfly diseases here in New Zealand, but I include a brief section on Leishmaniasis as I know it is a problem in many parts of the world.

John G Johnston, MD '69
2015 Distinguished Medical Alumnus Award recipient
During a career spanning several decades, Dr. John Johnston has shown time and again a commitment to caring for the most vulnerable among us, specifically young people from difficult backgrounds.
While in medical school, Dr. Johnston was one of the founders of the Student Health Action Coalition (SHAC), the oldest student-run free medical clinic in the nation. Following his time at UNC, Dr. Johnston completed a pediatric residency at the University of Washington-Seattle. He then returned home to North Carolina and worked 15 years for a successful private pediatric practice.
Dr. Johnston then was drawn to serve when the Mecklenburg Medical Alliance developed a teen-focused healthcare practice. As the medical director of the Teen Health Connection, he helped to create a nationally recognized, free standing, family centered teen healthcare practice that combined both innovative educational initiatives and a strong teaching program for medical students and residents.
Twenty-two years after its founding, Teen Health Connection now stands as the only comprehensive medical and mental healthcare practice for adolescents in the region, offering medical providers, therapists, a dietitian and health educators. It also serves as the medical home for youth under the care of the Department of Social Services.
In her letter recommending Dr. Johnston for this honor, Libby Safrit, MA, executive director of Teen Health Connection, wrote the following: "Loved by patients and staff, admired and respected by peers, he taught by instruction and example what it meant to be a physician who took joy in offering his best effort no matter the patient's problems, background or means."
Now retired, Dr. Johnston remains active as a passionate advocate for making certain that every adolescent is healthy, safe and successful. In honor of this passion and commitment, each year Teen Health Connection awards the Johnston-Ziegler Youth Leadership Award, a merit-based scholarship named in recognition of Dr. Johnston and Barbara Ziegler, Teen Health Connection's founding executive director. The scholarship recognizes a local high school senior who "has demonstrated outstanding leadership, advocacy, or service for adolescents."
This year, we are proud to add another honor to his extensive list of accomplishments, the Distinguished Medical Alumni Award.

A new bike route in Rockford is unveiled today. Mayor Morrissey joined local leaders to celebrate the first phase of the plan. The route will run from Rockford college on the east, to Riverside and Halsted boulevard on the west. Leaders say the new path provides an alternative and healthier form of transportation versus cars.
"I think Rockford has a great trail system already by adding a network of routes to get to the trail system, or even through town, helps to make it so you can use your bike for transportation," said Ed Barsotti, League of Illinois bicyclist.

here are some more from Egean Sea. Formations of sardines on the shore, whıch will join bigger group in late september.
As previously mentioned by Aaron, on such shore areas turbidity of sand makes focusing harder. While I was searching for P mode instead of SCN-Underwater, I accidently checked the Art Filter result was looks a bit funny /stupid at first, but later on here, focus become noticeably sharper, and images get almost perfect contrast Sure its kinda crap, but still gives ideas about HDR´s possibilities underwater.

The Mariners have teamed Rizzs with a revolving group of on-air partners following Dave Niehaus's death from a heart attack.
For the past two years, Mariners fans never knew who would show up in the radio booth with veteran broadcaster Rick Rizzs. But two years after the death of Dave Niehaus, the Mariners are ready to hire a permanent partner to work with Rizzs.
Randy Adamack, the Mariners' vice president of communications, said the club has begun the search process. While there is no firm timetable, they would like to have the new person in place by mid-January.
"If it takes longer, we'll let it take longer," he said.
The Mariners elected to pair Rizzs with a revolving group of partners following Niehaus's death from a heart attack. The idea was to ease the burden of replacing a legend like Niehaus. Among those who worked with Rizzs over the past two seasons were Ken Wilson, Ken Levine, Ron Fairly, Dan Wilson, Jay Buhner, Dave Valle, Dave Henderson and Mike Curto, most of whom had strong connections to Niehaus.

"We had a transitional period of time, and after two years we think it's now time to give Rick Rizzs a full-time partner in the radio booth," Adamack said. "We're hearing from a lot of potential, interested candidates.
"Based on the input I received from fans and people in the world of radio and TV, we feel it was a good idea and served its purpose. Now it is time to move forward."
Adamack added that there is "a group of people internally who will work on it together."
Rizzs, who will be in his 28th season with the Mariners broadcast team in 2013, is expected to be part of the process.
Dave Sims and Mike Blowers will return in the television booth in 2013.

Terrifying Plants stalk the planet and Invaders touch down from another dimension at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant at Disneys Hollywood Studios, featuring favorite science fiction and monster flicks teamed with the finest drive-in food known to earthlings and aliens alike.
The Setting:
On a replica of a studios soundstage, the 250-seat restaurant re-creates a 1950s drive-in theater smack in the middle of Hollywood Hills without the smog. Diners are seated in re-creations of flashy, chrome-gilded cars of old, and fiber-optic stars twinkle overhead in the night sky as all ears tune in to real drive-in speakers mounted next to each car.
All cars are facing the big screen, but guests cant resist checking out the wheels next door. The '50s era automobiles, complete with fins and whitewalls, are painted in a rainbow of colors ranging from fire-engine red and emerald green to ice blue and metallic lavender.
The Menu:
Carhops decked out in campy versions of a '50s drive-in costume take guests orders from a menu thats out of this world. The food arrives from the drive-ins Snack Bar. Main Features range from smoked baby back ribs to shrimp penne pasta. No earthling could resist the lineup of desserts for all tastes, like the warm apple and pecan crisp or hot fudge sundae.
The Show:
The screen comes to life with trailers from Cat Women of the Moon, Invasion of the Saucermen and more. The Sci-Fi Dine-Ins film is a 45-minute compilation of the best (and worst!) of the science fiction trailers and cartoons, including segments from It Conquered the World, Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster, The Amazing Colossal Man and Missile to the Moon.

Best thing for my son
by User88531 on
I think all parents hope their children will grow up confident and strong, and I am no different. I got my son involved with Mori's Jiu-jitsu class for kids in hopes that he will learn self defense. The unexpected bonus is the confidence that my son started to develop after only the second week. My son's been with the Mori Academy for 9 months now and he looks forward to going everytime.
Brazililian Jiu jitsu
by User88484 on
I started Training with Eddie Mori in 2005. My first 13 months going 3 times a week and training Muay Tai I went from a way overweight 225lbs to a Very fit 155. I just turned 30 and Still am at 160lbs. The training I recieved there is second to none. He is a great mentor and great instructor. I just competed in jui jitsu in november and took 2cnd. The best and most fun way I could have ever lost weight. Now my daugter has been training with Eddie for over a year and is amazing at jui jitsu. She started when she was 4 years old and now is 6 1/2. She understands what disapline is and loves to train with her dad at the gym. The Mori academy is so kid friendly and a great atmosphere to be around. All around the best gym in utah. If anyone is doubtful out there like I was. He mad it so comfortable for me and my family. Great place and fun for the whole family no matter what age.

I have been attending the Mori Academy for about the last 15 months initially my goals were to get in shape and loose the weight I had gained after surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. I have lost my weight and am now at a nice 155lbs down from 200lbs. I am physically in some of the best shape of my life. My wife and daughter commented on the fact that I now have defined and abs. My daughter's boyfriend told her that I scared him because I am so cut. I feel great and have started competing once again in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, both Gi and No-Gi competitions. I recently went to Las Vegas for the 13th Grappler's Quest and placed 2nd in my division. I have also started boxing to improve my standing and would like to start fighting in about a year's time and all of this at the tender age of 40.

I started commuting to class and work this spring, but I have been riding my mountain bike which leaves lots of room for improvement.
I have been checking out the kona jake, as a daily commuter that I can also use for weekend touring.
Since starting back on the bike in April, I have dropped from 275 down to 255, but I only ride 10 miles a day and I cannot bring myself to ride any long distances on the weekends because the mountain bike just doesn't cut it after about 15 miles.
Does anybody else ride cyclocross bikes? Is that what I should be looking for?

Building a Healthy District
Healthy Schools provides support to districts to create healthy teaching and learning environments, which support healthy habits for students and staff. The Coordinated School Health (CSH) model is a system designed to connect health (physical, emotional, and social) with education. This coordinated approach employs the support of families, communities, and schools working together to improve student health and to increase learning capacity.
By definition all CSH components work together to improve the lives of students and their families. Although these components are listed separately, it is their continuous merging that allows CSH to have significant impact.
Eight Components of Coordinated School Health
The CSH approach consists of eight major components:
- Health Education
- Physical Education
- Health Services
- Nutrition Services
- Counseling, Psychological, and Social Services
- Healthy School Environment
- Employee Wellness
- Parent and Community Involvement
Effective policies and practices in the eight component areas of the CSH model lead to sustainability and success in the area of school health and wellness. Intra and interagency collaboration, school district administration leadership, School Health Advisory Committees (SHACs), and Healthy School Teams (on the school level) create an effective support system.
Many positive changes are occurring in Florida districts. Below you will find exciting information about Florida's awarded healthy districts, the Healthy District Self-Assessment Tool, and the Healthy District Collaborative.
School Districts Recognized as Florida Healthy School Districts
The Florida Coordinated School Health Partnership, Florida Healthy Kids, Corporation, Florida Action for Healthy Kids, and Florida Association of District School Superintendents recognize the following 27 school districts as Florida Healthy School Districts. This recognition was determined by submission of the Florida Healthy District Self-Assessment and a score rating at the bronze, silver or gold level.
The Florida Healthy School Districts are districts that have made a high level commitment to meeting the health needs of students and staff in order to remove barriers to learning and maximize district resources.
The criterion for recognition as a Florida Healthy School District is the Florida Healthy School District Self-Assessment Tool that focuses on district infrastructure, policy, programs, and practices identified from national and state guidelines, best practices, and Florida statutes.
Awarded Florida Healthy School Districts
*Refer to Self-Assessment Tool for award criteria.
The Healthy District Collaborative
School district policies and administrative support are essential to sustaining programs and activities that remove barriers to learning. A review of school wellness policies from around the state allowed Florida's Coordinated School Health Program to identify school districts that have committed to using a coordinated school health (CSH) approach and to having a healthy school or wellness team in every school. Currently, over half of Florida's school districts participate in the Healthy District Collaborative. Quarterly webinars, opportunities for district sharing best practices and challenges, and resources are provided to these districts as a priority.

A recent Los Angeles Times article coined the term Generation Vexed, referring to the young adults who are putting their career and life plans on hold due to this stalled economy. The article talked about pessimistic polls with fewer than half believing this generation will have a better life than the last one did. July's 17.4-percent unemployment rate for 16- to 24-year-olds (traditionally the strongest employment month for that age group) has one 20-year-old saying, "You can't reach for the stars at this point." That really hit me because I grew up reaching for the stars or, at least, wishing upon them.
As a kid, I vividly remember a top-hatted, tuxedoed little cricket named Jiminy from the Disney movie "Pinocchio" singing, "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires will come to you" -- a syrupy song, yes, but it won the Academy Award for best original song on Feb. 29, 1940.
February 1940 was a "when you wish upon a star" world. Back then, happy-go-lucky movie-watchers could flock to cartoon films and sing dopey little songs with unrealistic lyrics like "anything your heart desires will come to you." Not anymore. That was 70 years ago, before cell phones, computers and the Internet. To this current 16-to-24-year-old generation, 1940 probably seems like the Stone Age -- as distantly removed and as currently relevant.
Forget about computers: back in 1940 there wasn't even wide-scale use of television; people sat around and listened to the radio. The country was still feeling the effects of the decade-long economic fallout known as the Great Depression. In 1940, I imagine that 16- to 24 year-olds had to make a few adjustments to their career and life plans, as well. Then, in December 1941, all hell broke loose, raining down from the skies over Pearl Harbor. I also imagine that the 16-to 24-year-olds back in 1941 had to make a few adjustments to career and life plans because of World War II.
I shudder to think what this country would be like if the people back then had stopped dreaming, had decided that there was no point any longer in reaching for the stars. In 1940 and 1941, did they need to make adjustments, try harder, try again, and again, and maybe even again, to reach those dreams? Absolutely, but they didn't stop.
Those 16- to 24-year-olds who grew up during the Great Depression and saved our civilization during World War II kept going, kept reaching, kept humming that silly little song on the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific. They had the courage to nurture their hearts' desires, and they clung to the belief that it was possible to realize them. Call it quaint, or old-fashioned, or unrealistic, but I think I'll stick with the example of those who are now known as the Greatest Generation.
To the current group of vexed 16- to 24-year-olds, who envision all they've ever dreamed of going up in smoke due to four years of a crummy economy, I say yes, it may take more time and effort to achieve your dreams than you thought, but don't give up on your heart's desires.
If you want to experience what life was like for that Greatest Generation, you should talk to one of them in real life. Don't put it off, though; the dreamers and wishers are dying out. We owe it to them to keep the faith and believe that the stars are still up there, even on a cloudy day.

My goal is to be able to make a connection to one, and only one, website through a proxy. Everything else should be dropped.
I have been able to do this successfully without a proxy with this code:
./iptables -I INPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT
./iptabels -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
./iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d www.website.com --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
./iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --cstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
./iptables -P INPUT DROP
./iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
How could I do the same thing except redirect the traffic to port 8080 somewhere? I've been trying to redirect in the PREROUTING chain in the nat table. I'm unsure if this is the proper place to do that tho.
Thanks for your help!

Get Your Dog to Pee Outside
Having a dog to take care of can be fun, but there are things to remember in terms of habits.
One important thing is how to get your dog to pee outside. It is preferable to get your dog used to peeing outside from the first day you bring him home. Your dog will need time to adapt to his new environment. Immediately start changing bad habits into good habits, the sooner the better. Good habits must be practiced consistently, and this will require your patience as your dog adapts.
Training a dog does not have to be a difficult task but it does take time, consistency and patience.Train your dog to pee outside at specific times of the day when you are available to walk him.
For example:
- In the morning, when your dog wakes up because usually they will pee after long night sleep
- At night before going to sleep (remember what time your dog begins to sleep normally)
- After feeding him
- After going for a run
- A good peeing schedule should be at least every 7-8 hours
Your dog will get used to his peeing schedule and will stick to it! Notice if your dog's behavior when they want to pee, like whimpering, making circle pattern, these may be your dog's way of telling you he needs to pee. Provide your dog with sufficient time to pee and poop outside; do not rush him, as he may need to go more than once during one walk.
Rewarding your dog for not peeing indoors also works, he will do anything for that treat, once he associates that he gets a treat every time does not pee indoors, he will wait for his walk to pee. Always remember that rewards work better than punishments. If you find your dog peeing inside the house, do not punish him, you need to find ways to meet his need of peeing during the day, and having a consistent schedule is the best way.
