Virtual Try-On - Choose and Try on Lenses Online
Nowadays, there are many websites providing Virtual Try-on systems allowing you to choose, to try on and to purchase lenses online. It was a pleasant surprise for me to learn of this Virtual Try-on system. Before I know such a system, I usually need to go to a local glasses store to choose a pair of suitable lenses by trying on several pairs of glasses. Then I will choose to purchase the same lenses online because it is much cheaper than its full price. Now it is much more convenient to buy glasses online. Let me share with you the experience of trying on lenses online.
First you should find a websites that provide Virtual Try-on service. For example, I visit the Firmoo's website, Firmoo.com, which is introduced by a friend of mine. If you are the first time to use this system, it is recommended that you spend one minute creating an account which will allow you to upload photos of yourself and shop faster online.
The following simple four steps allow you to try on glasses online conveniently.
The first step is to choose a photo for you to try on glasses. You can upload your own photos from your local disk or you can get your photos from your webcam. The photos you used to try on glasses online should be similar with your certificate photo. Besides, you can also choose female or male models' photo provide by the websites.
The second step is to select a pair of glasses from the Select Style column. You can use the drop down combo box to narrow your search. For example, you can select your gender, and there are four choice, women, man, unisex and kids. You can select frame size of small, middle and large. You can select frame styles such as full rim, semi-rimless and rimless. You can limit the materials of glasses to one of the following: plastic, metal, titanium and flexible. There are five glasses styles for you choose form, including classic style, fashion style, retro style, style and clip-ons style. Firmoo.com also provides you several price ranges from under $10 to over $50. After you set up the search condition, you just need to click the button of Search.
The third step is to choose a pair of glasses in the column of Frame List all of which are in accordance with your search condition. Just click the picture of glasses that you like, you will find that the glasses you chosen have been on your photo.
The last step you should do is to adjust your photo to a suitable size (using the zoom in and zoom out tools just beside your photo) and position (moving your photo using the left mouse button) to see if the glasses are suitable for you. It is better for you to know your interpupillary distance before you try on glasses online so that you can adjust your photo to the size of you face using the approximately measure tool.
Help yourself repeating the four steps described above until you find a pair of glasses that you favor most.

When Was Soccer Started?
There are many formulations on how and when was the real beginning or origin of soccer. As a game, soccer was played in the 19th Century in England. It has been dubbed as association football. But still, there are many claims that soccer had started centuries more even before in England. Many countries have formed their own types of games throughout history, thus, there is a possibility that soccer started out much earlier than the history books say.
It's hard to define the real origin of the game that's why I will provide you with options that can lead to your conclusions. The following paragraphs will showcase the different options of how and when was soccer started according to different nations:
Soccer is defined as sport that uses feet in order to play the game. Some people say that this form of game has been played ever since in China. People claim that Chinese people utilized the heads of their enemies as a ball. But this is still an unclear assumption. Chinese historians say that soccer started in China during the period of 2600 B.C. The game was played as a form of celebration of the birthday of China's emperor during the Hun Dynasty.
Some also say that soccer originated in South America. As the story goes, it began in Brazil when a group of kids saw a bucket of rubber that originated in a nearby plantation. One shaped it like a ball. Then they passed the ball without utilizing their hands.
There are still many stories about the when did soccer start, but as history dictates, there are many possibilities that may have arise during the course of time, all we know is that the game was made an official sport during the 19th century.

Guggul - Uses and Side Effects
The useful constituents of guggul, gugulipid and guggulsterone, are derived from Commiphora molmol. Guggul may lower serum cholesterol levels by as much as 24%, and triglyceride levels by as much as 23%, by increasing the hepatic binding of LDL cholesterol. Its effects on HDL cholesterol levels are variable, either increasing or decreasing. Guggulsterone stimulates the thyroid gland, has anti-inflammatory properties, may help in weight reduction, and protects against myocardial necrosis resulting from drug toxicity. Guggul is available as capsules and tablets. Common trade names include Guggulow, Guggul Raj, Gugulmax, Gugulplus, and Ultra Guggulow.
Reported uses
Guggul has used pnmanly for Its ability to decrease serum cholesterol levels. It's also used to treat atherosclerosis and high cholesterol and high triglyceride levels. In Ayurvedic medicine, it's used to treat arthritis and to aid in weight loss.
Administration
Daily dose of guggulsterone is 25 mg three times a day, is provided in a 500-mg tablet standardized to contain 5% guggulsterone.
Hazards
Guggul has been associated with diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal pain, and rash. There is potential reduction in the bioavailability of single doses of diltiazem and propranolol when these drugs are given with guggul. The effects of thyroid drugs may be altered because guggul stimulates the thyroid gland. Guggul's lipid-lowering effect is increased when it's used with garlic.
Guggul shouldn't be used by patients with liver or kidney disease. Pregnant and breast-feeding patients should also avoid use.
Clinical considerations
Monitor patient with thyroid disease or taking a thyroid supplement because guggul stimulates the thyroid gland.
Guggul may interfere with the intended therapeutic effect of conventional drugs.
Only preparations with standardized amounts of guggulsterone should be used.
Use should be limited to 12 to 24 Weeks.
Monitor serum cholesterol levels.
If patient is pregnant or breast-feeding, or is planning to become pregnant, instruct her not to use guggul.
Tell patient that herb isn't a substitute for healthy eating and exercise.
Advise patient to keep guggul out of reach of children and pets.
Tell patient to notify pharmacist of any herbal or dietary supplement that he's taking when obtaining a new prescription.
Advise patient to consult his health care provider before using an herbal preparation because a conventional treatment with proven efficacy may be available.
Research summary
Although the mechanism is unclear, studies show that guggul stimulates the thyroid gland, which may account for its ability to lower serum cholesterol.
Research A double blind, place bo-controlled study of guggul's effects on reducing cholesterol included 61 individuals who were followed for 24 weeks. After 12 weeks of following a healthy diet, half the participants received placebo and the other half received guggul at a dose providing 100 mg of guggulsterones daily. The results after 24 weeks of treatment showed that the treated group experienced an 11.7% decrease in total cholesterol, along with a 12.7% decrease in LDL cholesterol; a 12% decrease in triglycerides; and an 11.1 % decrease in the total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio. These results were significantly better than those seen in the placebo group.

Basic Snowboarding Tips You Must Learn
Some people who come into the sport buy their snowboards; others get theirs as gifts after much pleading and patient waiting. That is a start, but now you have to figure out the hardest part, which is learning how to become a real snowboarder. In this article we're going to talk about some of the fundamental strategies of snowboarding, and some of the main things you're going to need to learn, and the equipment you're going to need to get started.
As with any sport, the right equipment is vital if you want to perform properly, and you need to know how the equipment works as well. A general guide to the basics of snowboarding should include and outline of this information.
You need a board that fits you right. Boards come in all sizes, for adults and children of all ages and sizes so when you get your board, make sure it is a good fit. This way learning how to snowboard is going to be much easier.
Snowboarding works in much the same way as skiing, and the board is shaped in much the same way as a ski. For those with experience in skiing the transition should be much easier than for someone who is altogether new to the snow.
There are many types of snowboards, including freestyle boards, free ride boards and alpine or race boards. Beginners like them because they are easier to use than the other types of board. The two ends of the freestyle board are the same, so there is no front and back. This type of board is good for learning to snowboard, and for learning new tricks. Use a soft, short shoe for this type of board.
The free ride board is very versatile in terms of the kinds of conditions it can handle. Of course, an amateur or beginner wouldn't have much use for this facility. Many different kinds of snow and ground quality are within your reach with this type of board. It is not as short or wide as the freestyle board and it is less flexible. The free ride board goes well with soft, tall shoes that have soft bindings.
Race or alpine boards are the kind of boards you will see being used in major competitions, or by professionals. Its thinness increases stability and makes the board pick up speed more easily, and make sharp, fast turns more easily. The shoe that goes with a race or alpine board resembles a ski shoe, for support and control.
Be sure to keep your legs and your whole body relaxed. If you tense up it is going to be hard going, and you run the risk of experiencing a dangerous fall. Keep your knees bent a little, but don't lock them. Instead, focus on keeping your legs loose to absorb the pressure of any bumps you encounter.
That way, the ride will be smooth and easy and it will not be difficult to keep your balance. Avoid the urge to tense up your legs, or you won't get that smooth ride and you are very likely to end up on the ground, which is not a good place to be. Look at the pros and see the way they do it, and you'll get a feel for the sport. This is a good way to avoid having to learn by trial and error, which can be a very painful process.
Strap one foot onto the board and see how you feel going across the hill, just to get a feel for it. When you think you are ready, strap in the other foot and try going down the hill for the first time.
You steer with the leg that is in front. Use your front leg to guide the board, and use your hips to maintain balance. Don't forget to keep your knees bent to absorb the shocks of any bumps on the hill. You are now snowboarding. When you want to stop just turn sideways so that the board is heading perpendicular to the hill, and you are facing up. That way the board will stop moving. To start again, point your snowboard down and it will start sliding.
You might want to borrow equipment the first few times to get a feel for the sport before getting your own personal shoes and board. You will also have a better idea about what kind is right for you.

Classic Rock and Roll Groups From the 1960's and 1970's
What we now refer to as classic rock from the 1960's and 1970's was very influential back in the day. Many of the songs have been able to stand the test of time, even with new genres of music taking over. There are musicians from these periods of time that have become larger than life. Even though their music is decades old they are still recognized for their contributions to the world of music.
Without a doubt one of the biggest bands of the 1960's was the invasion of the Beatles. They brought a craze to the world of rock and roll that hadn't quite been embraced yet. With all of the television productions at that time too they were all over the news and on dance shows. It seemed as if everyone had what was referred to as Beatle Mania going strong.
The Beatles came from Britain, and their style of music had a significant impact on the future of rock music in the United States. Such bands as the Rolling Stones were able to capitalize on the success of the Beatles and make a name for themselves as well. Rock stars became a legend in their own right during the 1960's with flocks of fans following their every move.
Keith Emerson brought plenty of great music to the world in the 1970's. He also added something that left the crowds awestruck - the use of pyrotechnics in his live shows. He also helped to pave the way for what became known as progressive rock in the 1970's. These were bands that heavily relied upon the keyboard sounds in their music.
In the late 1960's and early 1970's the use of electronics were heavily introduced to the world of rock music. Bands including Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple use them successfully to develop a very unique sound that has immediately a hit. They incorporated synthesizers, foot pedals for drum sets, and even echoes in the background of their lyrics.
Some of the classic rock bands in the 1970's are still out there today. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Kiss are just a few of them. They brought to the stage their elaborate costumes, big hard, platform shoes for men, and of course make up. It was definitely a new style for the world of rock music. In fact, it was to lay the foundation for what would be referred to as the Hair Bands of the 1980's.
If you still love the classic rock music from the 1960's and 1970's there are quite a few radio stations that play it. Some of them will be local channels while others are on satellite radio. There are also CD compilations of the top artists from these two decades. Take a stroll down memory lane while listening to many of those timeless tunes any time you feel like it.

Are Hydrogen Conversion Kits a Scam?
If you're like us, you've been getting more and more concerned and frustrated with the high price of gasoline at the pump. You've thought about buying a hybrid, but most drivers don't experience enough savings in gas to make the car worth it at all.
Unfortunately, Hybrid cars are some of the Worst Polluters!
How's that you ask? Ever read the label on a rechargeable battery? You can't throw them out. They're toxic and contain heavy metals that can pollute ground water. The battery in a hybrid car is also a rechargeable battery and they can weigh as much as 600 pounds. Think of what would happen if a hybrid car got into an accident right beside a city's water supply. They would totally destroy it. Not to mention what do you do with that battery down the road. Think of 20 years from now, all the hybrid cars sitting in junk yards with their batteries leaking heavy metals into the soil!
A lot of proponents will tell you that the batteries will be recycled for new cars, but right now all Hybrids are using Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, but in just a few years those will be obsolete as we move on to Lithium-Ion batteries. No, Hybrids are a fad, and unfortunately they are one that are just as likely to do more damage than good to our planet!
So what now? What other things are there that we can burn in our cars?
Because let's face it, our entire economy is now reliant on cheap, fast transportation. If there is a solution out there that can allow us to keep our cars and not destroy the world we live in, we need to explore it fully.
For years now there has been talk of burning hydrogen. It releases nothing more than steam into the air. The downside is that hydrogen is dangerous. Extremely dangerous. Driving cars that carry tanks of hydrogen would be concerning to say the least. There is a lot of money being poured into ways to make impenetrable tanks to transport hydrogen, when there is a much easier solution, a solution that you can create yourself.
If this is so easy to do, why aren't the car companies offering it?
Think back a hundred years when cars as we know them were first being created. Was it the big manufacturing companies of the day? Were the train companies branching out into cars? No, it was small inventors and machinists who took the important steps and created most of the major auto companies that are still around today. The Wright brothers were bicycle shop owners and they were mocked endlessly for their attempts to fly.
The reason why the big companies of the day didn't do it then is the same reason why the big companies of the day aren't doing it now. Money. They've invested a ton of money into creating the current technologies and building all the infrastructure to support them. Their shareholders wouldn't take too kindly if they turned all of that on its ear.
It's up to us to take the necessary steps to save our world.
There is a simple solution. A Wright Brothers, or Dodge Brothers, or Mr Diesel type of solution: Water contains fuel. Think about it, water contains Hydrogen and Oxygen. 'Burning' is a chemical reaction of a fuel and oxygen, and if you can split the Hydrogen from the Oxygen in water, you have everything you need to create combustion and run your car's engine. We'll save you too much of the technical jargon, but there are several ways to create this separation. It isn't a direct split, but rather an alteration of the water into a gas that can burn. One of the gasses is called 'Brown Gas' and another is called 'HHO'. For the average person's needs they are effectively the same, but feel free to Google them if you want to know more.
Burning HHO or Brown Gas is even better for the environment than just burning Hydrogen!
Think about what I mentioned above. Nearly everything that burns, burns because of a reaction with oxygen. The output of burning Hydrogen is that you combine oxygen and hydrogen and make water. While this certainly isn't bad, it doesn't help areas of the world that are already low on oxygen.
The natural mix of our 'Air' contains 15% oxygen. Humans start to die when it dips below 5%. Some places like Tokyo, Japan are already as low as 6-7% at times. That is dangerously low. By starting with water and creating Brown Gas or HHO, one of the things that will come out of your tailpipe is oxygen. That's right, plain, simple O.
So can we help the environment and save money on gas?
That's the question I asked when I first really started looking into this technology. I found a lot of wild and outlandish claims. Claims that stated that you could use 0% gas and 100% water. I did a lot of research and found that yes, that is true, but you'll have to fill your entire trunk with water jugs to get enough HHO, or Brown Gas to run your car.
So I started looking at the hydrogen kits that enhance your car, but don't claim to pull it off of gas permanently. These seemed more reasonable and feasible. I have a fairly good understanding of how cars work and what emissions are. One of the things that a lot of people know about is a little thing in their car called the catalytic convertor. This device sits in your exhaust pipe and simply put, gets really, really hot. It does this because your car's engine doesn't really burn all the gas, and a lot of it is expelled in a toxic, half burnt stew. The catalytic convertor gets hot and finishes the burn on this gasý mostly.
Adding hydrogen to the air-fuel mixture in a car's engine will allow the engine to burn the gas more completely because the hydrogen is simply more flammable. This makes your engine vastly increase its efficiency and have a more complete burn. This is good for you, and for the environment!
Can our car do this?
Yes, nearly any gas burning car can do this! (Diesel owners can run their diesel engines on fuel made from vegetable oil, so they have alternatives too!). You can buy expensive kits to do this, or you can buy manuals that show you components you can pick up at any home improvement store and convert your car yourself!
Think about it, an ebook and materials that cost you under $200 that can save you as much as $10 each time you fill up! I don't know about you, but that's not even two months for me to make that up. And with vacation time around the corner I can recover an expense like that in a few weeks.
We've purchased a few of these kits and installed them, and have also spent extensive time on the Internet reviewing them, finding people who have installed them and seeing which work, and which don't.

Middle School Science Fair Projects Made Fun and Easy
Middle school science fair projects are a transition phase for students, neither too elementary nor too high school level. However, just because it is your transition stage does not mean that you have to be ambivalent about your middle school science experiments, far from it. Instead, you should show off your accumulated knowledge and passionate interest in science by adopting any of the following projects. Just remember that before you choose one, you should have assessed in which field of science you are most interested in. This way, you will be more motivated to do your research, conceptualize your project and then accomplish your vision.
Renewable Energy
One of the hottest topics for middle school science fair projects today is renewable energy in the form of solar power and wind turbines. You can tap into this interest by constructing a model of how solar panels and/or wind turbines work to provide energy and electricity to home and industries. This is probably one of the easiest and yet most eye-catching middle school science fair projects for many reasons. For one thing, you can purchase ready-made, easy-to-assemble and easy-on-the-pocket kits for solar energy and wind power science projects. For another thing, you can make it as eye-catching as possible with the addition of houses and buildings complete with lights.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car
You may also purchase a ready-made kit for the hydrogen fuel cell car, which provides for 30 distinct experiments. You will be able to demonstrate the workings and benefits of the energy-efficient car, which is one of the more notable inventions technologies of the century. Among the experiments contained in the kit are the uses of solar power for vehicle power, the utilization of fuel cell to separate the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water, and demonstration of electrolysis. Well, of course, you can always make your own experiments just so your middle school science fair projects stand out from the rest of the competition.
Magnetic Levitation Train
Now this is one science fair project that is absolutely possible! You will, of course, need to do your research about the principle behind the magnetic levitation train, purchase the necessary materials like ceramic magnets for the lifter-rails, wood for the guide rails and model cars, and then execute your drawings and plans. You can then perform experiments with the completed Maglev train set such as using gravity to push the car forward and using the car itself to move something along its path. You can be very creative, maybe even perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of your experiments.
Resurrecting the Dead
Fishes, that is. You are basically recreating the technology of cryonics where dead fishes are placed in a state of suspended animation, which is used in Japan to preserve the freshness of the day's catch. As part of your middle school science fair projects, you can follow the example of two brothers who supposedly resurrected a dead goldfish by using Mountain Dew, water and a 9-volt battery. Of course, you have to do it on a trial and error basis but that's where the fun of discovery lies. However, conduct your research before you go about killing all the goldfishes in your home's aquarium.
With these ideas for middle school science fair projects, you will definitely get the attention of the judges and do yourself, your parents and your teachers proud.

4th Grade Science Experiments
Do you dread the day when your child comes home from school and yells: "We have to do a science project!" Where do you start? What is even in a science project? Don't worry, I will walk you through and help you complete one of many 4th grade science experiments.
You first need the materials. Here is a list:
-pH paper
-lemon juice
-two see through glass containers
-magnifying glass
-tape
-pencil
-paper
-hanger
-glass or plastic vial
-nylon stocking or one leg of pantyhose (Don't get alarmed! It's for the experiment!)
Procedure (instructions for 4th grade science experiments):
1. First cut up the coat hanger into one long metal wire. Be careful. Then take the wire and make a circle with an 8 inch diameter.
2. Take the stocking or pantyhose leg and stretch the opening top around the 8 inch wire. Staple it in place.
3. Cut off the end of the stocking or pantyhose (where the toes are). Then take the vial and put it into the new hole that you just made. Make sure the vial opening is in the stocking/pantyhose. Use tape to secure the vial in this position.
4. Now it's time to go outside! Take your new "net" and go to a pond, stream, lake, beach or ocean. Holding the wire part of the "net," drag the net in the water. You are now collecting plankton, tiny microscopic organisms that you will use in your experiment!
5. As you drag the net in the water, plankton should be collecting in the vial. Pour the water in the vial into one of your two glass containers. Use a magnifying glass to look for plankton. Collect more plankton. Make sure you have enough plankton for your two containers. You want to have equal amounts of plankton in each container.
6. Everyday, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to ONE of your containers. At the end of the day, test the pH of each container using your pH paper.
7. Record these pH readings everyday. Also note how much plankton are in each of the containers everyday. Take pictures. Write down your observations.
8. After a week, your experiment is finished! What happened? Compare the plankton and pH readings of both containers.

The Different Types of Ducks
If you love outdoor animals and have been looking into the different types of ducks, we've put together a little list for you. While you may already know about some of them, there are others out there that the majority of society are still oblivious to today. So sit back and relax. By the time you're done reading this, you'll definitely feel smarter in regards to the different types of ducks out there.
If this is a new name to you, it may be better known as the knob-billed duck. It gets it's name from the distinctive rounded piece on top of the bill. This tropical species spends most of it's time in the parts of South America along with other areas like Pakistan, Madagascar, southern parts of China and a few other places.
Known for it's vegetarian eating habits, the Comb Duck spends most of it's time searching for seeds, small fish, and grain. They are drawn most often to rice farms and have been known to create several problems for farmers on a daily basis. You will find that they are one of the few duck species that enjoy perching themselves in trees to stay in shady areas.
One of the most colorful ducks you'll find on the planet, the Mandarin Duck can be found spread around the continent of Asia. However, most of these species are either farmed or placed in zoos around the world for spectator viewing. The Mandarin Duck has been known over the centuries as a Chinese symbol for fidelity and used in weddings.
You can also find the Mandarin Duck in the United Kingdom, but several debates over their species have caused issues regarding protection in the country. This is mostly due to the habitat being enriched with 1,000 pairs of male and females, but because they are not a native species there, they are left unprotected by conservationists.
Probably one of the most entertaining ducks to view, the Ruddy looks as though it has shaving cream underneath the bill. This is very distinct due to the blue bill on males along with their rustic look on the body. You will find most of the Ruddy's habitat to be spread across North America, but Great Britain and other parts of Europe have dawned the duck more frequently because of it's constant breeding abilities
This is only a few of several duck species around the world. While we shared a few of the more intriguing ones, there are many that have tropical and colorful appeal. If you would like more information on the ducks above or others like the Mallard, the Red-Crested Pochard, Muscovy Duck and several others, you can find them below. Let's have some fun!

What is the Difference Between Laptop and Netbook?
So what is the difference between laptop and netbook? A laptop (also called a notebook) is computer which has been designed to be made portable, featuring a screen hinged to a keyboard. A laptop includes a battery for portable power and a touchpad instead of a mouse for input.
Mini laptops (also called a netbook, subnotebook or ultraportables) take these ideas further still, creating a new market above handheld computers, smartphones and personal digital assistants. The primary characteristic of these are smaller size and weight, which are pretty similar to the average diary, as well as costing less than a standard laptop with prices starting at around £150, an excellent solution during the credit crunch!
Mini laptops aren't as powerful as bigger notebook computers, and lack the power for big, demanding programs as well as an optical disc drive - so no CDs or DVDs. None the less, connectivity is a central focus for netbooks. Internet downloads are quickly catching up on hard media products, so perhaps it's not such a loss.
In short, the difference between laptop and netbook is a netbook is smaller, lighter, cheaper (on the whole) and simpler.
New mini laptops are expected to sell in the region of 5.2 million units by the end of 2008, 8 million during 2009 and up to 50 million by 2012 - a ten fold growth. Industry analysts are torn whether or not subnotebooks will cannibalize the laptop market, some suggesting that a mere 10% market share will be taken. However, in this economic downturn, people will always look for cheaper products and with mini laptops available from £150-200, perhaps there is a big market after all.
So is it game over for the standard laptop and pc? Unlikely; whilst mini laptops can perform dozens of tasks to identical or similar standard of larger computers, they will (for the time being) be limited by battery size, processing power and storage space, the difference between laptop and netbook is pronounced enough not to make the former obsolete.
Furthermore, when using a computer over a prolonged period of time, it would make sense to use a bigger screen and a faster processor of a desktop replacement laptop or a PC, particularly for demanding programs' such as games.
And finally, similarly priced but laptops, of varying quality, are available for around £200-300 leading some industry analysts to believe that the consumer focus will be on functionality and not merely size and weight.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, mobile phone manufacturers and providers are tapping into the netbook market with the Samsung NC10, LG X110 and Carphone Warehouse launching the Webbook - a branded laptop made by Elonex. Vodafone has linked arms with Dell with its Inspiron Mini 9, offering 3G mobile broadband contracts. Orange have followed suit with by cosying up with Asus and the Eee PC 901.
The difference between laptops and netbooks may seem very vague, but there is certainly space for both to function. If you've got a laptop, even reading this on one, lift it up. Feel the weight of it. Ask yourself, do I need all this extra space? Would I be better off with something smaller and lighter - if the answers yes, browse around the site.

How Do I Stop My Dog Peeing in the House? Here's How!
If you're asking yourself the question "how do I stop my dog peeing in the house?" then this article was written for you. Specifically, we're going to talk about why your dog is peeing inside your home, what you shouldn't do to overcome this problem, and what you should do to fix this. By the time you've finished reading this article, you'll know how to stop a dog from peeing in the house.
Let's start by looking at what makes your dog pee in your home. The most likely reason is that your dog is marking his territory. You see, dogs have an advanced sense of smell. So if another dog was to enter your home, they would soon know that this territory "belongs" to your dog. Male dogs are more likely to engage in this behavior, and particular breeds are also more likely to do this.
So what shouldn't you do?
Most dog owners will get angry and try to punish their dog for peeing in the the home. But the problem is that this just doesn't work, and it's also unfair - because your dog doesn't understand why you are punishing him. Unless you can actually catch him "in the act", you will only confuse him.
A better alternative is to use positive reinforcement techniques.
So let's talk about what you can do to overcome this problem. The best solution is to start early with crate training. While it may look like a "prison" to us - it really isn't cruel. To your dog, the crate is an enjoyable space which he will find comforting, not restricting. The benefit to this is that your dog won't pee in a small enclosed environment like this.
But if this just isn't an option, you can always "distract" him before he pees, so you have time to take him outside. Simply make a loud shaker. Put a few coins into an empty water bottle, and shake it quickly to make a loud sound. This will alert your dog, and give you time to take him outside to pee.
