INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need to reward your dog when he shakes. Bite-sized treats are good for training because you can give your dog more of them without feeding them too many extra calories. Also consider what your dog likes and what will motivate them: does your dog like soft treats or hard treats? Is there a certain flavor that your dog seems to respond to more? Figure out which treat works best for your particular dog and have them on-hand for training. Try making your own treats. These could be small pieces of cooked meat or even some fruits and vegetables. Don't overfeed your dog. Keep treat sizes as small as you can. Do not feed your dog the following food items, as they can cause poisoning or illness: avocado, chocolate, bread dough, grapes, raisins, hops, ethanol, moldy foods, macadamia nuts, xylitol, onions, garlic. The only way a dog can shake hands is if they are sitting. If your dog doesn't know how the command for sit, you will need to teach them to sit first. Don't reward the dog with the treat here, as you are teaching him how to shake, not sit. You won't be giving the treat to your dog just yet. For now, simply keep the treat in your left hand. Bring the treat in front of your dogs nose, showing it to him. Once you have his attention, close your fist around the treat. Don't let the dog grab the treat from you yet. Hold the treat between your thumb and your palm. " This is the command you will use to ask your dog to shake (you can also say something else like "Shake" if you prefer). Say this as you hold the fist with the treat in front of your dog. Once your dog realizes you have a treat in your closed hand, they will try to get it from you. When they make a move toward the behavior you want such as lifting a paw to try and get the treat from your fist say "Yes!" with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement and give them the treat. When your dog makes a move toward the behavior you want, immediately reward them with the treat. Ignore any other attempts your dog may make, such as sniffing or mouthing your hand. Be patient. Practice this way a few times until the dog is reliably lifting their paw when you say "Paw." Once your dog is lifting their paw on command, you will want to take it to the next step. You should begin reward the dog only as they do something closer to your goal of shaking. For instance, if your dog lifts their paw higher than before, that gets a "Yes!" and a treat, but not before then. Continue in this way until the dog is offering their paw. Use this additional step only if your dog doesn't seem to paw at the treat in your hand. By picking up your dogs paw, and praising them during and after, you start to show your dog that pawing at your hand is rewarded. Hold the paw for a few seconds before rewarding. Be gentle and move slowly.

SUMMARY: Pick out some treats for your dog. Have your dog sit down. Present the treat to your dog. Give the command "Paw. Say "Yes" when your dog begins to fidget. Reward the dog for shaking. Take your dog's paw in your hand.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: By default, your computer starts up by reading the operating system information from its built-in hard drive. You can change this by telling it to prioritize plugged-in USB items over the built-in hard drive. The settings for your computers boot behavior are in a menu called the BIOS, which is a pre-startup menu you can access by pressing a key specific to your computer model as your computer turns on. In order to boot from a USB flash drive, the flash drive must be set up as a bootable item, and it must have a disk image (ISO) file with an operating system or similar service installed on it. The key that you press to access the BIOS varies depending on your computer manufacturer and model. You can look up your computer's BIOS key by typing your computer's manufacturer and model name, along with "bios key", into a search engine and reviewing the results, or you can consult your computer's manual if you still have it. Most computers use one of the function keys (e.g., F12) as the BIOS key, though some computers will use the Esc key or the Del key. The USB flash drive should plug into one of the rectangular USB ports on your computer's housing. On a laptop, the USB ports are typically on the sides of the housing, while desktop computers typically have the USB ports on the front or back of the tower. . If your flash drive isn't already bootable, use the Command Prompt or one of the Windows installation tools to make it so. Copy the ISO file you want to boot from by clicking it once and then pressing Ctrl+C, then open your flash drive and press Ctrl+V to paste in the file. For example, if you're attempting to install or use Ubuntu Linux from the flash drive, you would paste the Ubuntu ISO file into the flash drive's window. Skip this step if you created a bootable USB using the Windows 7 or 10 installation tool. Before you proceed with accessing the BIOS, you'll want to save any open work and then close any open programs to avoid losing your progress.

SUMMARY: Understand how booting from a USB works. Determine your computer's BIOS key. Plug your USB flash drive into your computer. Make the USB flash drive bootable Add the file to which you want to boot to the flash drive. Save and close any open work.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Teaching piano is a skilled job! It will be harder to recruit and teach students if you do not have extensive playing experience. If you have been playing piano for a long time and have a significant repertoire under your belt, you are probably already qualified to teach. That said, you should still practice playing the piano daily so that your skills stay fresh and up to date. A degree is not necessarily required if you have a high playing skill level. However, most successful piano teachers are highly trained with the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in piano with coursework in piano pedagogy (instruction). Learning classical techniques is helpful for increasing overall playing skill and are necessary for aspiring concert pianists or future teachers. However, if your student wants to learn how to play jazz music in addition to classical, and you don't know how to play jazz piano, you may not be the best teacher for them. While some students take piano lessons to show their friends their favorite pop songs, others may learn piano to make a career out of it some day. In either case, being able to explain and demonstrate technical knowledge of scales, chords, intervals, clefs, meter, phrasing, and harmony is essential to their musical development. If you find your music theory to be lacking, there are many resources that can help, but a music theory course on Coursera or Nicolas Carter's book "Music Theory: From Absolute Beginner to Expert" or can improve your theory skills in an approachable way. This can include taking private lessons from teachers who are more advanced than yourself, reading music teaching literature, attending concerts, practicing and learning new repertoire on your own, or browsing the internet or YouTube for inspiration. Remember that a good teacher is also a good student. Join your local, state, or national music teacher's associations to network with other teachers and be informed about new teaching methods and publications. You can also learn about various pedagogical techniques and select the method that you think will work best for you and your students.

SUMMARY:
Practice playing the piano often. Advertise the genres of piano music that you're qualified to teach. Brush up on your music theory. Invest in professional development.
