INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To get the most out of your training experience, you should learn everything you can about Dalmatians. Read books or websites about the breed, or talk to professional organizations or breeders. Once you understand the temperament and personality of the Dalmatian, you can be better prepared to train. Learning about the breed can help you know what kinds of things to expect from your dog. You can be prepared for bad habits or negative behaviors. You may learn tips on things you can do to deter bad behavior. Understanding the breed can also help you learn which training methods made be better for the breed. Dalmatians were originally intended to walk behind carriages. This means that Dalmatians need a lot of exercise and physical activity. Dalmatians who do not receive enough exercise become bored, and a bored dog is a dog looking for trouble. Bad behavior such as chewing, barking, or unruliness will be the result if an active breed such as the Dalmatian does not receive sufficient exercise. A Dalmatian can easily soak up two separate one hour runs a day and still have energy to spare. You can take your training to the park where you can throw a ball and have your dog learn to fetch and retrieve, running backwards and forwards in the process. Avoid leaving your Dalmatian for hours unattended in the yard as he will use his energy to bark at passersby or dig in the flower beds. Dalmatians love to chew. Be sure to provide plenty of exciting chew toys for him at all times. They also get bored easily, so giving them chew toys to keep their minds active can help prevent behavior problems. Consider feeding your Dalmatian dry kibble inside a Kong or use a puzzle feeder so that he uses mental energy to get food, which helps to relieve boredom. Dalmatian puppies have a tendency to get over-excited. If your Dalmatian puppy gets over-excited, he will stop listening to you. This is when mouthing, biting, and general bad behavior creeps in. To prevent this, pause every 15 seconds or so during play and get your Dalmatian to calm down. Calming your Dalmatian is easily achieved by offering a small piece of his meal kibble as a reward. You can make this work double time by asking him to sit using the piece of kibble at the same time.

SUMMARY: Learn all you can about Dalmatians. Provide your Dalmatian with plenty of exercise. Give your dog chew toys. Avoid over-exciting your Dalmatian puppy.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're new to glass coloring, mason jars are a great type of glass to start with. Glass paint can be used to color glass that will get wet (e.g., mason jars that you're planning to use as drinking glasses). It's also a more permanent method of coloring glass than using food coloring.These methods don't work for dyeing glass surfaces that are used for eating. However, you can dye the opposite side of serving trays, pitchers, and decanters that can be washed by hand. Work in a well-ventilated area, like a garage with the outside door open or a room with 23 open windows. This will keep you from inhaling paint fumes. Visit a nearby craft store or art-supply shop and peruse their glass paint selection. Unless you're set on only using 1 color, purchase a few so that you can dye your glass surfaces a number of colors. For example, if you're planning to dye glasses dark green, purchase a couple of complementary colors like dark blue, purple, or yellow. You can use the different colors to give the inside and outside of the glass a different color, or to paint multiple glasses different colors. If you don't live near a craft-supply store or a hobby shop, you can find a large variety of glass paints in online painting-supply stores. Each bottle usually costs around $5 USD. Paint-lightening medium is available at most craft shops, hobby stores, and art-supply stores. You can also purchase it through large online art-supply retailers. Paint-lightening medium is a little more expensive than the paint itself; it runs about $1012 USD. The lightening medium is used to thin the paint and lighten its color. In a pinch, you could use acetone-based nail polish remover instead of lightening medium. However, acetone tends to mix poorly with glass paint and gives the finished product a streaky look. After you have coated the interior or exterior surface of the bottle, jar, or vase, tilt it upside down so that extra paint mixture drips off of the glass and onto a sheet of newspaper or something similarly disposable. If you'd rather not hold the bottle for 2030 minutes, set it upside down on top of 2 parallel drinking straws to allow paint to drip off. If you were to skip this step, accumulated paint would drip down into the bottom and dry as hardened pools of glass paint. It will take a substantial amount of time for the glass paint to fully dry. So, set the glass on a shelf in your garage or on top of a high kitchen cabinet to let it dry out. Allow the paint to cure for at least a week before pouring water into it. If you have children or pets in your home, make sure to set the drying glass somewhere where they won't be able to accidentally break it. If the dyed glasses or mason jars become dirty, hand wash them using warm water and a gentle detergent. Don't put the glass in your dishwasher, or the coloring may come off.

SUMMARY: Select a clear glass item to color. Purchase glass paint in the colors you'd like to dye your glass. Buy paint-lightening medium to use as paint thinner. Turn the bottle upside down for 20 minutes to drain excess paint. Set the glass aside to dry for 3 to 7 days.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . It's best to wait until after you take the patient's health history so that they can sit for 5 minutes. Otherwise, you may get a falsely elevated blood pressure result. Choose a blood pressure cuff in the appropriate size for the patient and put it on them. Then, take their blood pressure and note the results. After taking the patient's blood pressure, take their radial pulse, which is located in their wrist. Press your index and middle finger against the vein to locate the pulse, then count the beats for 1 minute. You can also count the beats for 15 seconds and then multiply the result by 4 for an approximate heart rate. For example, if you count 20 beats in 15 seconds, then their heart rate is approximately 80 beats per minute. per minute. Instruct the patient to breathe normally while you count the number of breaths they take in 1 minute. Count 1 breath each time the patient inhales and exhales. Do not count the inhalations and exhalations separately. With practice, you should be able to count respirations while taking a patient's pulse. After you have some experience, you may be able to complete this part of the exam while you are taking the patient's vitals. Note if the patient appears well-groomed. Check to see if their hair, skin, and nails look healthy. Make sure to note any unusual physical signs including: Muscle pattern, such as a noticeable lack of muscle in the arms or legs Hair distribution, such as thinning hair on their head Odors, such as a foul odor indicating poor hygiene Movement and coordination, such as being unable to follow a pen with their eyes

SUMMARY:
Check the patient's blood pressure Take the patient's radial pulse. Count the patient's breaths Assess the patient's general appearance, hair, skin, and nails.
