If you're mean to your dog, your dog will become afraid of you. Dogs look up to their owners like little kids look up to their parents. Treat your dog lovingly by speaking to it in a pleasant voice, spending time petting and cuddling, and showing lots of affection. When your dog is good, give it a treat and a belly scratch. Your dog will reward you with endless affection in return. Research shows that dogs enjoy being petted even more than receiving praise. Pet your dog every day to show your dog how much you care. Yelling at your dog or hitting your dog is always a bad idea. It's cruel and also ineffective. Dogs who get treated meanly end up confused and scared; they don't know what you want them to do, so they either act out or cower. Never punish your dog for doing something wrong. Instead, reward your dog for what it does right to build trust and help your dog see the right thing to do. Positive reinforcement is the best way to get your dog to behave the way you want. Reward good behavior. Punishing your dog creates fear and general discontent. Dogs make wonderful companions you can take with you to the places you enjoy, like parks, beaches, or even just around the neighborhood. Your dog will enjoy excursions just as much as you, and taking it along is a great way to bond and have some fun together. If you take your dog along in the car, open the window so it can enjoy the air. Just make sure it's not down so far that the dog can jump out. If you take your dog along to places you like, make sure you follow leash rules and pay attention if dogs aren't allowed in a certain place. If your dog spends time around lots of other people and dogs, it will learn to be friendly and social. A good way to socialize your dog is to take it to the dog park, where it will get a chance to play with other dogs and dog-friendly owners. Many dog parks are members-only, requiring pet owners to fill out an application before they're given a pass to enter the park. This is to make sure that all the dogs in the park have received their shots and prevent the spread of disease.

Summary: Be kind to your dog. Don't punish your dog. Bring your dog to fun places. Socialize your dog with others.

Depilatory creams dissolve the hair at the surface of your skin. If used correctly, these creams are painless, so choose this method if you want to avoid the pain caused by waxing or epilators. Because the chemicals involved in this process are harsh, select a cream designed for delicate facial skin. Visit a beauty supply store, and search for a product that specifically states it's for facial hair. If you're unsure, ask an associate to point one out for you. Apply a small dab to a sensitive but safe area (such as the skin of your inner wrist) to make sure your skin doesn't react. Leave it on for the recommended amount of time, which will likely be around five minutes, and then wash it away thoroughly. Wait at least another 10 or 15 minutes to make sure your skin doesn't begin to itch or turn red. Follow the instructions on the product carefully. They will likely tell you to let the cream sit on your skin for three to six minutes, but it's better to err on the side of less time if it's your first application. If you begin to feel a tingle on your upper lip, wipe the product away immediately. Lather your fingers with soap and water and then gently rub your upper lip to remove any of the product residue. Then rub or splash water on your upper lip to give it a final rinse. Depilatory creams are only a temporary solution, and the hair will grow back in three to five days. You can use the product again after three days, but stop using it if you get irritated, itchy, or red skin.

Summary: Choose a depilatory cream for a painless option. Find a depilatory cream that is appropriate for facial hair. Spot-test the cream. Leave the cream on for three to six minutes. Rinse your skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeat this process every three to five days.

As you are looking for jobs, you want to make sure that you have a solid resume tailored to the position you are seeking. Include all your jobs and internships in the food and beverage industry. In your resume, include examples of your leadership qualities and any responsibilities you had at your previous jobs. Focus on emphasizing accomplishments rather than merely listing duties. Make sure to have at least two good references to give out. It's best if these are people who have seen you work in the restaurant industry and can speak to your leadership and organizational skills. If you start out working in a restaurant, and you like the atmosphere, you may be able to work your way up into a managerial positions. Don't be afraid to ask about possible opportunities. Make it known that you're looking for a leadership position. Often, restaurants that value their employees will create positions for good people. This may not be the track for you, if you want to be a general manager of a restaurant, rather than one of a few managers. If you do work for a larger corporate chain, inquire about opportunities in other cities or states and at new stores. Companies will be more likely to hire someone that shows initiative and has experience with their model of restaurant. For more options, be willing to relocate to accept a position. Look on job boards like Indeed or Craigslist for new positions and in the classified section of your newspaper. Widening your geographical search can open up more opportunities. If you cold call restaurants, make sure you don't go during busy service hours. Take a printed out copy of your resume. If you want to manage a new restaurant, networking is an invaluable tool at your disposal. In many cities, restaurant workers form tight-knit communities. Often, restaurant owners have more than one restaurant in a given area. Display an interest in who's involved in your local community. Ask who owns different restaurants, and remember names and faces. Attend culinary events in your city, and introduce yourself to people. Show a genuine interest in their work. Make it known that you are looking to manage a restaurant, but don't be pushy when contacting your connections.
Summary: Create a food and beverage resume. Work your way up. Look for job postings online and in newspapers and cold call restaurants. Network with restaurant managers and owners in your area.
