Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be patient with your pup. Begin training at 6 months old at the earliest. Train your dog for at least 120 hours over a minimum of 6 months. Consider professional training.

Answer: Training a dog to be a service dog takes time, so let your dog learn at its own pace. If you get frustrated, then the dog will begin to dread its training sessions. Try to work with the dog for 10-15 minutes at a time to reduce stress on both of you. It's okay to do more than 1 training session a day, though no more than 3 sessions per day are recommended. Try to use this time to bond more with your dog. There is no maximum age, so an older dog can become a great service dog if it has the right disposition. If you don't know your dog's age, ask a vet to help estimate it. Keep your dog's age in mind when considering the tasks you want it to perform. For example, a young dog may be more active than you'd like, and an old dog may be less strong. More training than necessary is best, but the minimum requirement to get a dog certified is 120 hours of training over at least a 6 month period. Of those hours, 30 must involve taking the dog in public. Train your dog in short sessions spread over time, and expect to do refresher trainings. You must use positive, non-aggressive training methods in order to certify your dog, so don't use fear to teach your dog. Stop a training session if the dog gets frustrated or tired, as continuing could make the dog resist training. Remember that the amount of training the dog receives is not what's most important. The dog must also be able to do the skills required of a service dog. Training a service dog takes a lot of work, and a professional may be the answer. You can find an accredited trainer by speaking with your dog's vet or by searching online in your area.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a gown that accentuates your body. Choose a dress that conveys your personality. Wear undergarments that enhance the look of your gown.

Answer: An ideal gown accentuates your best features and camouflages your flaws. Aspects of the gown such as fabric and design can help draw the eye to the features you feel most confident about. Try on gowns that are best for your specific body type. If you have a short body type, wear vertical lines and solid colors. Avoid skirts, hip sashes, and contrasting solids. If you have wide hips and thighs, wear flowing, tailored, or flared skirts. Avoid low waistlines and mermaid gowns. If you're thin, wear a fitted waist, a draped style, or a fishtail gown style. Avoid dark, strapless gowns. Go for a straight gown or V-shape waistlines if you have a thick waist. Avoid wearing belts or hip sashes. The evening gown is an important part of the pageant. You should try your best to make the evening gown convey who you are to the best of your ability. Are you a loud and flamboyant or classy and conservative type? A red, sequin dress would show that you're flamboyant. A black or white dress in a simple style would show that you're classy. Check to see if your pageant has rules about gowns before choosing a gown. The wrong bra and underwear can ruin the look of your gown. Long-line bras and bust-to-hip bustiers are commonly worn under pageant gowns. These options may not be possible if your gown is made of a thin fabric. If that's the case, sew brassiere cups into your gown. As far as underwear, panties are not recommended. Instead, try sheer-to-waist pantyhose.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply peanut butter, olive oil, butter, or mayonnaise to the gum. Allow the oily substance to sit on the gum for at least 3 minutes. Comb through the dog's fur to remove the gum. Shampoo your dog to remove the oil and any remaining gum.

Answer:
Use your fingers to work the oily substance into the fur around the gum. Make sure the affected area is completely covered. If your dog licks off some of the peanut butter, it's okay, as long as you use a peanut butter that doesn't contain xylitol. Dogs can eat other oils, as well. However, try to keep your dog from licking at the oil, as they may get diarrhea or suffer from pancreatitis if they consume too much. This gives it time to soak into the gum, loosening it. Sit with your dog so you can make sure it doesn't snack on the oily substance or the gum. Keep the chewed gum out of the dog's mouth. Sugar-free gum is harmful to dogs because it contains xylitol. Although regular gum is usually harmless to dogs, it's best to play it safe. Insert the teeth of the comb down into the fur just above the gum. Then, pull the comb down through the fur to dislodge the gum. If the gum doesn't come out easily, apply more oil. You can also pick the gum out with your fingers. If there is still gum caught on your dog's fur, you may need to apply more peanut butter, olive oil, butter, or mayonnaise. If 2 to 3 applications don't work, you may need to trim the dog's fur. Rub dog shampoo into the pup's fur, working it into the affected area. Then, rinse your dog thoroughly to remove any remaining soap. Dry your pup with a clean, dry towel. Use a degreasing shampoo, if possible. It will more easily remove the oil. As an alternative, wash the affected area with dish soap before you wash the dog.
