article: Pick a toy that is easy for your dog to hold in its mouth and one it enjoys playing with. A stuffed squeaky toy or a dog bone is a good choice. In the grander scheme of things, it doesn't matter too much what kind of toy you give your dog, because you are going to be teaching it to drop it anyway. You'll want treats that your dog likes more than its toy. It is important to have a value system in mind that your dog will follow. A tasty treat is worth more to a dog than a dog toy. This can be your dog's normal treats or special treats just for training. Dogs like treats made from turkey, chicken, or cheese. Be sure to keep the amounts very small as you will be using them frequently during the training sessions. In the early twentieth century, the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov discovered that dogs could be taught to "expect" food at the sound of a bell. This "neutral stimulus" the sound of the bell caused the dog's to drool and expect food. You can use the same principle here. Pick something that is portable and makes a sound. Make people use clickers, which literally just make a clicking sound. You might even consider just using a sound file on your phone. If your dog tends to run with its toys, you might want to keep it on a leash for your training. Otherwise, you'll need to keep it in a confined space with minimal distractions. Your goal is to focus your dog's attention on the training, not on playing. You need to have realistic expectations. Yes, it is possible that your dog might learn a basic command within a day or so, but it is far more realistic to expect small, yet noticeable improvements.

Write an article based on this "Follow the structure of a ballad. Introduce the main character to the reader. Limit the number of minor characters. Use a memorable line as the chorus. Include rhyme and repetition. Use dialogue in the ballad. Build to a climax or realization. Have a powerful last stanza."
article: Most ballads are composed in four four-line stanzas. The first two lines will rhyme and the third line will not, creating an AABC rhyme scheme. You can also try a rhyme scheme where the second and fourth line rhyme and the third line does not, creating an ABXB rhyme scheme. You can also try writing eight-line stanzas if you'd prefer and create your own rhyme scheme for the ballad. Modern ballads often have longer stanzas and a more loose rhyme scheme. The first line of the ballad is important, as it draws the reader into the story. Introduce your main character or characters in the first line. For example, in Bob Dylan's "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," the first line introduces the two main characters in the story: "William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll." In John Keats' "La Belle Dame Sans Merci," the first line addresses the main character of the story with a question: "O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms". Stick to one to two main characters maximum, and one or two minor characters only if they are absolutely necessary. The ballad should focus on key details of one story with a small set of characters, not multiple main characters and plots at once. For example, in Bob Dylan's "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," there are two main characters, William Zanzinger and Hattie Carroll. Minor characters like a policemen and a judge are also mentioned. In John Keats' "La Belle Dame Sans Merci," there are two main characters, the knight-in-arms and the belle dame, or the woman. In a typical ballad, the chorus is the third or fourth line in the stanza that repeats throughout the piece. The chorus should be relevant to the rest of the ballad and contain strong imagery that sticks in the reader's mind. For example, in Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the chorus is a variation on the line "The bright-eyed Mariner." In Bob Dylan's "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," the chorus appears at the end of each stanza and is several lines long: "But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears/Take the rag away from your face/Now ain't the time for your tears." Follow a set rhyme scheme in each stanza. Repeat certain words or phrases over again in the ballad. Use simple language that is descriptive to create a sense of rhythm in the poem. For example, in Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the speaker repeats words like "eye" and "Mariner" in the ballad: "He hold him with his glittering eye-/The Wedding-Guest stood still,/And listens like a three years' child:/The Mariner hath his will." Have your characters speak in the ballad, using quotation marks around their speech. Keep the dialogue short and tight. Only provide the most essential details of the character's thoughts in the dialogue. For example, in Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the Mariner tells a story of being at sea to the wedding guests a few stanzas into the ballad: "The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared/Merrily did we drop/Below the kirk, below the hill,/Below the lighthouse top." Like any good story, a ballad should have a beginning, middle, and end, with a powerful climax or realization in the latter half of the poem. The climax could be the most dramatic thing that happened to the speaker or the main character. It could also be the moment the main character realizes the reality of their situation. For example, in John Keats' "La Belle Dame Sans Merci," the climax comes in the tenth stanza when the knight-in-arms realizes he is being entrapped by the belle dame: "I saw pale kings and princes too,/Pale warriors, death-pale were they all:/They cried- 'La Belle Dame sans Merci/Thee hath in thrall!'" The final stanza in the ballad should sum up the key theme or idea in the piece. It should leave the reader with a powerful image or wrap up the sequence of events. It can also put a twist or spin on the events in the ballad, making the reader reconsider the original events. For example, in John Keats' "La Belle Dame Sans Merci," the ballad ends with the knight-in-arms responding to the question posed to him in the first stanza after revealing he woke from the spell of the belle dame, though he now lives alone in a lifeless world: "And this is why I sojourn here,/Alone and palely loitering,/Though the sedge is withered from the lake,/And no birds sing."

Write for a specific amount of time. Write fast and freely. Write to God as if you're writing a letter to a friend, or as if you're writing in a private journal."

Maybe you feel uncomfortable talking out loud to God, find it difficult to concentrate when talking to God in your mind, or maybe neither of the two work for you at all. If that's the case, try writing to God. This form of communicating will still enable you to express your thoughts for a connection and create your side of a conversation with God. Choose something that will feel comfortable to write in every day. A spiral notebook or journal would be an ideal choice since it will easily lay flat on a desk. Select your preferred writing tool. You'll want to write to God by hand instead of typing on a computer. Computers have endless distractions, and for some the act of typing requires more conscious effort than scribbling in a notebook. Even though you won't be speaking aloud, it's still best to find a quiet spot for maximum concentration. Before you get started set a timer for a length of time that feels comfortable to write for. You may set it for five, ten or twenty minutes. Keep your pen or pencil moving until the timer goes off. Try not to be self-conscious about what you write. Don't worry about grammar and punctuation, or about what you're actually writing. In writing to God, you want your words to come from the heart. In order to do that you'll need to relax enough that you can write freely about whatever comes to mind. If you're not sure what to write about, consider writing about a current concern that you can't stop thinking about. Write about what's happening in your day to day life. Write down any questions you want God to answer for you. Or write about your goals or what you're thankful for. Use the examples below for inspiration. "Dear God, I have no idea what I'm doing in my life right now. I can't seem to make good choices or meet the right people. I feel like I'm drowning in drama. When will this end? When will things change for me?" "I can't even contain my excitement right now, God. Today I met a woman who works at my dream job. Our meeting was completely serendipitous. I mean what are the chances of meeting just the right person randomly on a busy street? If I didn't accidentally bump her shoulder and if she didn't happen to drop her purse, I never would have gotten a glimpse of her business card. You've truly answered my prayers."
