Summarize the following:
Be sure that your dog has a comfortable collar that fits it properly. The collar shouldn't be so tight that it is choking the dog, but should be tight enough so that it does not slide up and down the dog's neck. You should be able to slide your hand between the dog's neck and collar when it is secured in place. Many people choose to use a harness instead of a collar. The harness disperses the pressure to the dog's back rather than its neck. This will allow you to train your dog to walk on a leash without having to rely on the choking feeling the dog gets when pulling at its leash. When using this method for training your dog not to pull, make sure you do not use a retractable leash. This will defeat the entire purpose of the exercise. Use a standard chain or cloth leash. Whenever your dog pulls, stop and stand still (be a tree). No matter how hard your dog pulls, don't let it go in the direction it wants to go. The reason for this is that if the dog pulls, and you follow it, the dog is learning that pulling is a very effective way to get somewhere. It might help to attach the leash to your belt loop using a carabiner. This prevents the dog from getting ahead. It's also far easier to stand still with your hips getting pulled than your arm. Wait until the dog does anything that loosens the leash. The dog might stop pulling by leaning back, sitting, or changing direction. As soon as the leash loosens, you can start walking again. You can encourage the dog to loosen the leash by calling it back to you. This method requires a lot of patience! You're trying to teach the dog that pulling gets it nowhere. You have to be consistent and timely. A variation of this method is to walk in the opposite direction whenever your dog pulls.

summary: Use a proper collar. Use the right leash. Stop and stand still. Wait for the dog to respond. Repeat for the duration of the walk.

Rating your anger can help you realize what type of events make you angry and the degree they make you angry. Some events might cause mild irritation, while others might trigger you wanting to blow your top. You don't really need an official anger scale. You can make your own, for instance, on a scale of one to ten, or zero to one hundred. You can use what works with you. Your anger journal will help you keep track of what events anger you. You can also track the degree to which they anger you, as well as the surrounding events that preceded your anger or occurred during your anger. Monitor how you react when you're angry, along with other people's reactions to you. When you record in your journal, you can make the following observations: What provoked the anger? Rate your anger. What thoughts occurred as you got angry? How did you react? How did others react to you? What was your mood right before it happened? What symptoms of anger did you feel in your body? Did you want to leave, or did you want to act out, such as bang the door or hit something or someone, or did you say something sarcastic? What were your emotions immediately after the incident? What were your feelings a few hours after the episode? Was the episode resolved? Keeping track of this information will help you learn what situations and triggers you are sensitive to. Then you can avoid those situations when possible, or predict when these situations occur if they are unavoidable. A trigger is something that happens or that you experience that brings on an emotion or a memory. Some common triggers for anger are: Not being able to control other's actions Having other people fail to meet your expectations. Not being able to control daily events, such as traffic. Someone trying to manipulate you. Getting mad at yourself for a mistake. Sleep deprivation can mount up over a series of poor nights of sleep or can be caused by not getting sleep for one night. Your metabolism, age, personal willpower and other personal makeup will all determine how you respond to sleep deprivation. The following effects can all contribute to your difficulty in keeping your temper in check: Increased susceptibility to accidents (due to poor coordination and sleepiness) Increased susceptibility to colds Rapid aging Emotional problems (loss of control, anxiety, panic, depression) Irritability, moodiness, reduced ability to cope with stress Poor judgment skills, poor concentration, and inability to make decisions Long-term effects of sleep deprivation may include obesity, heart disease, or diabetes.
summary: Rate your anger. Keep an anger journal. Identify your anger triggers. Understand the possible effects of sleep deprivation.
