In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Give your rabbit adequate food and shelter. You need to make sure that your rabbit is healthy and happy before attempting to train it. If a rabbit is unhappy or ill, it will be less likely to be interested in completing training sessions with you. Rabbits, and other pets for that matter, don't usually respond well to anger and aggression. The saying "you catch more flies with honey" is very true when it comes to training an animal. Having a positive attitude and being nice will build more trust with a rabbit, and thus make the rabbit more likely to follow your commands, than brute force or hostility. Spend a bit of time every day on training. Training should be done in short sessions, consisting of only 5-10 minutes. The goal is to do training consistently but in short bursts. Since training is based on incentives, you'll need to find a treat that provides the most positive response. If you don't know what your rabbit's favorite treat is, experiment a little. If the rabbit leaves a treat alone, then it won't work as a treat. If the bunny munches a treat right down, you have a winner. You can offer a new food, in small amounts to avoid digestive upset, once a day and watch the rabbit's response.
Summary: Provide for your rabbit's basic needs. Use a calm and even temperament with the rabbit. Devote plenty of time to training. Use your rabbit's favorite treats.

Problem: Article: After your last practice competition, try to subsist on fluids and semi-solid foods in order to create as much space as possible in your stomach. Make sure to check with your doctor before fasting or changing your diet in any drastic way and don't forget to stay hydrated even if you refrain from eating solid food. Many leading competitors fast a few days before their competition, relying only on water. Most hot dog eating contests are held outdoors during the summer, often on July 4th. Heat has been proven to decrease appetite, so if you let yourself get too hot before the competition starts, you'll be at a disadvantage. Stay in an air-conditioned car or sit in the shade until it's time to compete. Some competitors even douse themselves in ice water right before the competition starts. By the time you arrive at the competition, you will have timed, evaluated, and practiced your strategy. Don't let nerves cause you to forget what you've done and try something new on the spot. Stick to what you know works! Find out what motivates you and try to recreate it at the competition. If you like listening to a particular kind of music and the competition allows headphones, then play that music. Alternatively, have friends and family cheer for you. Not only will it boost your spirit, but it'll be good to have them there to celebrate when you're victorious.
Summary:
Eat as little as possible they day before your competition. Stay out of the heat as much as possible before the competition starts. Stick to your established strategies. Create a motivating environment.
