article: You will be significantly more difficult to hit if you are on the move. You should try to stay in motion constantly throughout the fight. Move side-to-side rather than forward-backward to maximize the difficulty for the person aiming at you. If your evasive maneuvers involve moving over the same distance or in the same directions over and over again, you'll become predictable. Try to mix it up as much as possible. The best water balloon fight spaces will have some obstacles you can use as cover. If you can throw balloons from behind something, part of your body will be covered while you're throwing and you'll be a smaller target. You could hide behind a rock, a tree, or a bush. The best way to irk your opponent is to catch a balloon they thought would splatter all over you. You can then use the balloon you caught to return fire. If your opponent is throwing balloons designed for water fights, known as water bombs, they will have a harder exterior and will be much easier to catch. If you're fighting with cheaper party balloons, you may want to avoid trying to catch them because they will break more easily. If you fail to catch it, hitting an incoming balloon with your hand can either deflect it away or pop it away from your body so your clothes won't get as wet. If you keep your knees slightly bent, you'll be able to duck and sidestep incoming balloons more easily. It's basically inevitable that some water will get on you. Make sure you wear clothing that you don't mind getting wet. It's also a good idea to take off shoes and socks as they can be difficult to dry out.

article: Traps come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations. A store that sells hunting equipment will likely have traps available for purchase. If you do not want to purchase a trap, consider calling your local animal shelter or animal control center to inquire about renting or borrowing a trap. When asking someone for help to obtain a trap, provide as much information as you can about the dog. This will help you select the appropriate trap size and configuration. The trap should be in an area where the stray dog frequents. Ideally, this area should be where the stray dog would be comfortable approaching without feeling threatened. In addition, you should place the trap where you could monitor to it without trespassing on personal property or being otherwise obtrusive. Set the trap on a firm, flat surface. It is important for the trap to be inviting to the stray dog. If he does not feel comfortable around it, he may approach it but not walk in it. For example, cover the trap with blanketsthis will help him feel safer when he steps inside of it. Also, place several layers of blankets on the bottom floor of the trap for increased comfort. If you set the trap directly on grass, place a sturdy waterproof barrier under the trap to keep water from getting in and soaking the blankets. A dog-catching expert could advise you on what type of barrier would be best. Place tasty food in the trap. Examples of good food include pizza, hot dogs, and various meats (e.g., boneless chicken, beef, liver). Hide the trap mechanism with blankets. The trap mechanism is like a hill. If the stray dog sees it, he will not step on it. With enough blanket cover, he would step on the mechanism and not even realize it, thus securely trapping him within. Clear away any objects (e.g., rocks, pinecones, leaves) from the trap entrance that could prevent the door from closing. Set the trap out when the stray dog is most likely to start roaming: dusk, dawn, or midnight. Be sure the trap closes properly before leaving it for the stray dog. To test the trap, use your hands to apply pressure to the trap mechanism. If you have a dog that is a similar size as the stray, have him walk into the trap. If you think the stray dog is too small to set off the trap mechanism, place an extra weight (e.g., rock, brick) on the side of the mechanism. Check the trap the day after you have set it up for the stray dog. If you see him in it, contact your veterinarian, a local animal shelter, or your local animal control center for further instruction. If you are able, transport the stray (still within the trap) to your veterinarian, shelter, or animal control. If the stray is not in the trap when you check it, prepare the trap again for another day. Keeping your eye on it will be important to keep other animals from going inside the trap. If other animals are in there, the stray dog will likely not go near it.
