Problem: Article: Your dog may not be able to relax because you are doing things that it dislikes. For example, many dogs dislike having their head petted. This is because the hand comes over the head and eyes, which is a threatening gesture in dog language. If your pet shrinks away or its body stiffens when you go to pet its forehead, then consider that it may not like it. Instead, form your hand into a fist and hold it just below the dog's nose level. Let it approach and sniff the hand. If the dog wags its tail, raises its head, pricks its ears forward, or moves closer, these are all good signs you have his permission to pet it. Your dog may sense if you are in a rush to try and calm it down. Instead, work on calming the dog down when you have time to spend with it. A great time to make your dog relax is when you are watching TV in the evening. You can gently pet the dog while watching a favorite program. Remember that dogs have sensitive hearing, so don't have the volume turned up high. Wherever it is, the dog should have open access to this space but should not be forced onto into it. This might be a blanket on the floor or on the sofa beside you. Decide if you have a 'no pets on the furniture' rule or not. Be aware if you invite the dog up onto the coach it will get the message it's OK to jump up, so only choose that option if you don't mind the dog on the furniture. Stroke gently, gliding your hand over its coat, following the direction of the lie of the coat. Do not brush against the lie of the hair or pet roughly, as this is unpleasant and equivalent to having your hair pulled or someone smack your face. Make the movements long and flowing. The dog will appreciate if you use both hands, one following in the trail of the other. Be aware that some areas are more ticklish than others, and dogs feel vulnerable when certain areas, such as the belly, are touched. Work with the area the dog presents to you. Thus if it lies on its side, stroke its flank, rather than pushing the dog onto its back. The dog may interpret this as a sign of hostility, since you are forcing it into a submissive posture. However, if the dog voluntarily shows you its belly, then stroke it. If all is going well, try a gentle massage. Use deeper pressure using the palms of your hands and rock them backwards and forwards over the dog's neck, shoulders, and spine. If the dog shows any sign of discomfort, such as growing tense, looking up repeatedly, flicking its head or a leg away, or getting up, then stop. Be aware that older animals may have sore joints, especially elbows, so never apply pressure here unless shown how to do so by your vet or vet physiotherapist. Don't end a relaxation session abruptly. It may frighten or shock the dog. Instead, let the pup doze peacefully in the full knowledge of a job well done. For maximum relaxation, consider plugging in an pheromone diffuser. This gives off soothing dog pheromones (chemical messengers) that give the dog an olfactory message that it is safe and secure, and that it can relax. Another popular relaxation technique if T-Touch or Tellington Touch. This is a massage therapy designed especially for pets. It can be learned at home and involves making repetitive circular movements with the fingertips or palms, over the dog's body. For starters try making small circular movements over the dog' ear flap and cheeks, and as you build confidence and your dog starts to relax, then experiment with other areas such as his shoulders or back.
Summary: Figure out your dog's likes and dislikes. Set aside plenty of time. Make sure the dog has a comfortable place to lie. Pet your dog. Get a rhythm going so that the dog can fully relax. Use pheromones to relax your dog. Try alternative relaxation techniques.

Problem: Article: or cash to pay the fare. You have to pay a fare if you want to ride the bus. Most people who use the bus frequently buy a pass and use it for efficiency and ease. You can usually purchase a bus pass at the city's public transportation website and/or office. If you aren't interested in getting a bus pass, you can also just pay in cash each time you ride the bus. Just make sure to bring exact change, as most city bus drivers aren't authorized to make change for you. Some public transportation systems offer a discounted rate for seniors and/or people with disabilities. You can apply for this discounted rate at your city's public transportation website and/or office and then potentially receive a special bus pass that allows you to use the bus for a lower fare. Most public transportation systems run smoothly so that they're reliable and predictable. Because of this, being late to the bus stop by just 1-2 minutes could mean missing your bus. To avoid this, make sure to get to the stop a least a few minutes before the bus is supposed to be arriving. Most public transportation buses have a digital banner on the front and/or side of the bus that displays the destination of the bus and/or the particular route name or number that the bus takes. As the bus approaches, make sure to read the banner to make sure that it's the right bus. Continue standing at the bus stop, even once the bus has come to a complete stop. Back up away from the door if necessary, and allow passengers to get off of the bus. Once it seems like everyone who is getting off at the stop is off of the bus, walk through the door that's located towards the front of the bus. If you need to, ask the bus driver to lower the bus to make getting on easier for you. After you've stepped onto the bus, you'll need to pay the required fare. If you have a bus pass, show it to the bus driver and/or scan it, if there's a place to do so. If you don't have a pass, simply put your cash through the slit in the farebox. If you aren't sure what amount of cash to pay, check the farebox for a sign that displays the amount that's required. You may need to transfer to a different bus in order to get where you need to go. Often times, if this is the case, you won't be charged again when you get on the second bus, as long as you have a transit slip to show the second bus driver. If you think you may need to transfer to a different bus later, ask the bus driver for a transit slip just after you get on and pay.
Summary: Get a bus pass Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes prior to arrival. Look at the banner to make sure it's the right bus. Wait for passengers to get off before you get on. Pay for the bus. Ask for a transfer slip if you need one.
