Patience and practice are key for streamlining your sled dog team. Allow bonding time for you and your dogs (e.g. devote time to spending time outdoors playing with your new sled dogs) and take advantage of your dogs' natural instinct to pull to make training a fun experience. If the process does not happen naturally as you continue taking your dogs out to practice, enlist the aid of a fellow musher who might have advice on how to get your team into gear. Note that your new sled dogs will need time to get accustomed to the sound of your voice, and to build trust. Teach or reinforce basic commands to establish your dominance non-violently, and to gain your dogs' respect and trust. To start, review and practice the five basic commands:"Sit","Stay", "Lay down", "Heel", and "Come here." Visit the American Kennel Club website at http://www.akc.org/content/dog-training/articles/teach-your-puppy-these-5-basic-commands/ for instructional details and videos. The most important part of training a dog team is to get the dogs to learn each other's rhythms and work together. To achieve this, run the dogs as much as possible for practice before events or races. If your team slows down at difficult points (e.g. steep hills), be firm and make them work harder to get over the hurdles. This is the best way to ensure that they will not be overwhelmed during a race, and less likely to hesitate in such situations in the future. Always reward your dogs' perseverance and accomplishments with ample praise.

summary: Bond with your team. Teach basic commands. Practice extensively.

Unless it's marked "compostable," plastic is made from petroleum. It can linger in the environment for hundreds of years and never break down completely, polluting the soil and groundwater. When plastics are not disposed of properly, they kill animals who mistake them for food. You can help to prevent this from happening by: Buying or making reusable bags. Leave a couple in your car/on your bike for shopping. Tuck a small one into your purse for unplanned trips to the grocery store. Asking your local grocery store to replace plastic bags with recycled paper bags or cardboard boxes. Even "biodegradable" plastic bags can end up in landfills, where they don't break down properly. This makes them just as dangerous as regular plastic. Make sure the resin identification code (the number inside the recycling arrows) is 2 or 5. You can usually find these codes on the bottom of the containers. Plastics with these codes are generally safe to be reused for storing food. Any other number is either unsafe or not durable enough for reuse. If your plastic is not considered to be food-safe, you can recycle it or reuse it for arts and crafts. For example, plastic tubs are great for storing water to rinse paintbrushes with. Take the time to examine product packaging when you go shopping. Avoid goods packaged in plastic (including polystyrene) whenever possible. If your grocery store sells products in bulk, take advantage of it and fill up using your own containers. If you have a choice between paper or plastic bags, stick with paper. Of course, it would be even better if you brought your own bags. Some restaurants and take-out places will allow you to bring your own food containers. Ask ahead of time if this is possible. Food and other household goods often travel in fossil fuel-powered vehicles over 1,000 miles (1,600km) from their points of origin to store shelves. A great way to accomplish this is by: Buying food from your local farmer's market. Join a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program. Growing your own food. Making new containers and paper products uses more fossil fuels than recycling old ones. Check online for the guidelines of your local recycling center. Search for what they will and won't recycle. Check their sorting requirements, as well. For example, most recycling plants won't recycle tissues, wax paper, or polystyrene. Unless they offer single-stream recycling, you'll likely have to separate paper, plastics, glass, and metals. In some cities, recycling plants pay money for aluminum cans. Search online to see if your city offers this service. If it does, look for what kinds of aluminum cans are accepted. For example, some centers accept beverage cans but not pet food cans.

summary: Reduce your use of plastic. Reuse plastic containers to store food. Refuse plastic as often as possible. Buy locally. Recycle what you can't reduce or reuse.

Summarize the following:
The box spring is the wooden base underneath the mattress. Lay the mattress and box spring on the floor. You'll want to rule it out as the cause of the squeaking before you start working on the bed frame. Get on the mattress and move around a little bit - if it squeaks, you know the mattress is the culprit. Apply pressure to the top of the box spring and move it around. If you hear squeaking, it's probably the box spring rather than the bed frame that's causing the problem. Squeaking can occur where the posts attach to the rest of the bed frame, so try rocking each post. Try to pinpoint the exact location that the squeaking is coming from. The slats are the metal or wooden planks that stretch from one side of the bed frame to the other. They're what hold up the mattress and box spring. Apply pressure to the slats to see if they're causing the squeaking. Wood rubbing against wood will often cause squeaking.
summary: Take the mattress and box spring off the bed frame. Check if it's the mattress that's squeaking. Check if it's the box spring that's squeaking. Rock the posts on the bed frame and listen closely. Rock the slats on the bottom of the bed frame.
