Clicker training is an effective training method backed up by animal science. You'll need to use one short, easily distinguishable signal that you, such as a "clicker," a whistle, or a loud finger snap. Make this sound the exact instant the dog performs the behavior you want to reward. Always follow the sound immediately with a reward, ideally praise and a small treat. Only use this sound for training. The dog may be confused and take longer to train if you use it during play or just to fool around. Finally, if the dog does not cooperate with any other method, you can coax the dog upward to a standing position by touching the hind legs, or by gently tugging on the dog's torso. As always, follow this up with the clicker signal and rewards. Dogs tend to take more time to learn what you want when you're physically assisting them, so this is only recommended if the other methods are not working. Once the dog seems to understand the connection between standing and rewards, start associating the verbal command. Say "STAND" each time the dog stands up, in addition to the click and rewards. Eventually, you can skip the treat and just use the verbal command, and perhaps a hand signal. Make sure to praise the dog heavily when he responds.

Summary: Learn about clicker training. Physically adjust the dog's position. Add a verbal command.

Emotions can make it very difficult to decide whether to euthanize a pet, even when the pet is very sick. To make the decision process a little easier, look objectively at your hamster's behavior. For example, watch how he walksif his back is arched or he is unsteady on his feet, he could be feeling extremely sick. Hamsters love to run and play. If your hamster stays hunched over in a corner of his cage, he is very uncomfortable and likely very sick. Make a list of several activities your hamster loves to do (e.g., run in his hamster wheel, gnaw on chew toys, etc.). If he no longer does those things, his quality of life has worsened, making euthanasia a reasonable option. Track his good days and bad days in a journal. When he starts having more bad days and good days, it is time to start considering euthanasia. When your hamster becomes so sick that he is no longer eating or drinking, he is letting you know that he is feeling pretty miserable. Not eating or drinking for as little as 24 hours can be very serious in hamsters. Talk to your veterinarian about euthanizing your hamster if it has been at least one day since your hamster ate or drank anything. Your veterinarian cannot make the decision to euthanize for you, but he or she can guide you through the decision process. One way your veterinarian can do this is to accurately diagnose your hamster. When you know the details of your hamster's sickness, and his prognosis, you can make a clearer decision on whether to euthanize him. Geriatric diseases in hamsters (e.g. liver failure, kidney failure, cancer) are those that occur after 18 months of age. They have no cure and can worsen a hamster's quality of life. Euthanasia is a reasonable option for hamsters with geriatric diseases. If your hamster has a geriatric disease, keep him as comfortable as possible until life has become too unbearable to him. This includes keeping him in a quiet area and handling him as little as possible. Discuss treatment options, if any, with your veterinarian. Be aware that your hamster could be so sick that he would not be able to tolerate intense veterinary care. Do not let your hamster suffer through treatment if it will not bring him better quality of life. You will probably have a lot of questions and concerns about euthanasia. During your appointment, discuss your hamster's sickness and the possibility of euthanasia. Ask your veterinarian questions about the euthanasia process, as well as options for cremating or burying your hamster. Consider asking your veterinarian if he or she thinks euthanasia is right for your hamster. No matter how your veterinarian answers, remember that only you can make the decision to euthanize your hamster. Ask your veterinarian if he or she performs at-home euthanasia. Be mindful that not all veterinarians will do this. If you have children, discuss the best way to tell them about euthanasia. Children do not always understand end-of-life issues, so you will have to be careful about explaining how ending a pet's life can be humane. Ask your veterinarian about local pet loss support groups. Ask as many questions as you can think of, and express any concerns you may have. Although euthanasia is a difficult topic, your veterinarian understands this difficulty and can help you talk things through. As if the euthanasia decision was not difficult enough, you should know whether you are considering your hamster's wellbeing or your own. You may feel unsure, or maybe even a little guilty, but your hamster's wellbeing should come first. If you are delaying the decision, ask yourself if it's because you are not ready to let your hamster go. Be aware that delaying your decision could be prolonging your hamster's suffering.

Summary: Observe your hamster's behavior. Monitor how much your hamster eats and drinks. Take your hamster to your veterinarian. Talk to your veterinarian. Decide if euthanizing is best for you or for your hamster.

This is the most appropriate option when dealing with a year long lease. Multiply the monthly rent amount by 12 in order to get the total yearly rent amount. Monthly rent is the amount of rent charged every month that the tenant will occupy the apartment, condo or house a full month. For example, a tenant might pay $900 per month. $900 x 12 = $10,800 in rent per year. Divide the total yearly rent amount by 365 (the number of days in the year) in order to get the daily prorated rent amount. For example, if your yearly rent amount is 10,800$, 10,8000/365=29.5$ in rent per day. For yearly rent, it does not matter which month you are currently in. Multiply the daily prorated rent amount by the number of occupancy days remaining in the month to get the prorated rent amount. Number of occupancy days is how many days you will be renting the apartment before the first day of the next month begins. For example, if you moved in on September 20, your number of occupancy days is 11 (just like hotels book rooms, you include the day you move in). 11 days x 29.5$/day = 324.50$ total. ANSWER = [(rent for a year) / 365] x # of days you're staying
Summary: Calculate yearly rent. Calculate daily rent. Calculate prorated rent.
