article: Insert the nylon cord into the eye of the knook hook, pulling roughly 6 inches (15 cm) of cord through to the other side. A knook hook looks like a standard crochet hook, but there should be an eye on the side opposite the hooked end. This is the eye or hole you'll be threading the cord through. If you start with a knook kit, the nylon cord should be included. Otherwise, choose nylon cord that is roughly the same thickness as your yarn, if not a little thinner. Using your yarn, tie a standard slip knot onto the hooked end of the knook hook. This is the same type of slip knot you would use with a standard crochet hook. To make the slip knot: Grab approximately 5 inches (12 cm) of yarn. Wind the attached end of the yarn over the section you just grabbed, creating a loop. Push yarn from the attached side under and through the loop, creating a second loop. Pull to tighten the first loop around the second. Place the second loop over the top end of the knook hook. Pull to tighten this second loop onto the hook. Crochet a series of chain stitches to serve as the foundation row of your knook work. Maintain even tension on the yarn as you work so that your chain stitches will be even. The length of the chain will vary depending on the project, but if you only want to practice, consider making a chain that is at least longer than the length of the knook hook. The chain stitches you need to create here are the same chain stitches you would create for a standard crochet project. To make a chain stitch: Wrap the yarn around the top of the hook from back to front. Pull this yarn-over through the loop already on your hook. This completes the stitch. Insert the hook into the first chain lying adjacent to the hook. With the hooked portion facing down, catch the yarn on the hook, then pull the yarn back through to the other side of the chain. This action should put a second loop on your hook. You will need to keep this loop on your hook while picking up the remainder of your foundation chain stitches. Continue picking up each stitch by following the same procedure (insert the hook into the chain, catch the yarn, pull the yarn back through to the front). Repeat across the entire chain until you have picked up each chain stitch. Turn the knook hook around, then carefully slide all of the picked up stitches off your hook and onto the nylon cord attached to the end. Depending on how long your foundation row is, some of the stitches may fall off the hook and onto the cord before this step. That is not a problem. During this step, you merely need to push any stitches still on your hook onto the cord. Note that the nylon thread will still be attached to you hook, but the hook will be free from yarn after this step. The short end of the cord should hang free, as well. Once all of your foundational stitches are on the cord, you can begin to knook the main body of the work using a purl stitch or a knit stitch.

article: Many people are inclined to scold or punish a puppy for chasing or bothering a cat. This is actually counterproductive and could create a stressful situation, causing your puppy to become aggressive towards the cat. Instead of punishing negative behaviors, strive to reinforce your puppy's positive behaviors. Always reward your puppy for being calm and obedient around the cat. Offer treats and praise when your puppy ignores the cat in the room. Keep a small bag of treats on hand. Whenever your puppy displays good behavior, reward her. It's better to distract your puppy than punish her if she bothers the cat. If your puppy is chasing, watching, or otherwise bothering the cat, find a distraction to keep her occupied. Use treats, a happy voice, or a toy to distract your dog when she seems to be bothering the cat. As soon as the dog leaves the cat alone, give her a treat as a reward. You want to be very careful allowing your dog and cat to interact. Aggression can become an issue, and both animals can get hurt during a physical confrontation. If you notice signs of aggression, act promptly. If a puppy is overly focused on the cat to the point she won't take her eyes off the cat, this is a sign of aggression. Growling, hissing, and swatting are signs of aggression in a cat. Make sure you get the animals away from each other if they're becoming aggressive. You do not want to deal with a fight. Only once your animals are totally accustomed to one another should you ever leave them alone together. Always give each animal a means to find privacy. This could be a cat-door, doggie-door, high shelves or small recess so the animals can have their space. It will take at least a month for supervised interactions to be safe. You may need longer than a month, depending on the temperament of your animals. Do not leave them alone unsupervised until they largely ignore one another.

Write an article based on this "Choose a dog that fits your lifestyle. Don't get an aspirational dog. Give your dog a practical name. Schedule enough time for training. Prepare your mental state for training sessions. Choose the proper equipment."

After centuries of breeding, the modern dog is one of the most varied species of animal on earth. While there's probably a dog to suit every lifestyle, not all dogs will fit your specific needs. For example, if you like to relax, you should not get a Jack Russell Terrier, known for its constant barking and high energy. Instead, you might want a bulldog that would much prefer to cuddle on the couch all day. Research the personalities and care requirements of various breeds. Ask dog owners about their breed's personality. Mixed breeds are also great options as they can contain personalities of various breeds you may be interested in. Since most dogs live for 10 15 years, getting a dog is a long-term commitment. Make sure the breed's temperament is a good match for your lifestyle. If you haven't yet started a family, consider whether you'll have young children around the house in the next decade. Some breeds are not recommended for households with children. Be honest with yourself about the compatibility of the dog you want with your lifestyle. Don't get a dog that needs a lot of activity just because you want a reason to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle yourself. If you can't follow through on exercising your high-energy dog, you and the dog will both end up frustrated. Write down the needs and temperament of the breed, as well as how you will meet those needs. If it is going to take significant effort to change your lifestyle, you need to choose a different dog. He needs to be able to learn his name easily, so you can hold his attention during training. The name should also have clear, hard sounds the dog can recognize. Names such as "Buddy" or "Rover" or "Bee Bee" have distinct sounds that stand out from the regular flood of human speech your dog hears. Use your dog's name often when you are playing, petting him, training him, or need to get his attention. If your dog looks at you when you say his name, you know he's learned it. Create a positive association with his name so he'll continue to focus on you when you say it. Praise him when he responds to his name, and give him treats. Initially, you should start with several 5 minutes sessions spread out throughout the day and go no longer than 20 minutes. This is especially important with puppies as they have a short attention span and get bored easily, just like a toddler would. Those sessions are not the only time you'll train your dog, though. Training actually happens throughout the day when interacting with your pet. S/he is learning from you every time you interact. Bad dog habits develop when owners let dogs get away with bad behavior outside of dedicated training sessions. So, always keep an eye on your dog outside of training sessions. If s/he knows it during training sessions, then make sure he remembers it outside of training. When you are working with your dog, be calm and neutral. Any form of agitation and excitement on your part will negatively affect the outcome of training. You should be mindful of the fact that the goal of training is to be able to reinforce good dog behavior and to ignore or not reinforce bad ones. It may sound strict but producing a well trained dog requires the determination and conviction to see it through. A 6-foot (1.82m) leash and flat collar or martingale collar may be all the you need to start, besides your treats. Consult a trainer for advice on other equipment like a "Promise Leader" head halter, a "No Pull" harness, a metal training collar, or other device. Puppies or small dogs generally do not need harsh equipment. Larger dogs may temporarily need specialized equipment (like the "Promise Leader") to keep their focus.
