There are a wide variety of toothbrushes to choose from that are designed for dogs. They are available at any pet store. Dog brushes have softer bristles and are designed to give you easier access to those hard to reach areas. Choose a brush based on the size of your dog. You can use a bigger toothbrush for bigger dogs, but a smaller dogs will need a brush that will easily fit into its mouth. There are also finger brushes that fit onto the end of your finger and can provide better precision. But, these brushes also increase the likelihood of your dog accidentally biting your finger. Do not use an adult human toothbrush to brush your dog's teeth. You can use a soft child's toothbrush if necessary. Other options to try if your dog resists the brush include specially designed pads and sponges. Like brushes, there are many different toothpastes made for dogs. Do not ever use human toothpaste to brush your dog's teeth. Human toothpaste contains fluoride and sometimes other ingredients that can be toxic. We don't swallow toothpaste when we brush, but many dogs do. Eating human toothpaste can cause vomiting and possible kidney damage. Dog toothpaste is available in many different flavors to help make brushing easier and more pleasant for your dog. You may have to try several flavors to find the one that works best for you and your dog. The ideal time to start brushing a dog's teeth is when it is a puppy. You can start as early as eight weeks of age. Starting young can help a dog become accustomed to the feel of the brush and the act of brushing. It will not, however, make much difference in the overall cleanliness of a dog's teeth. This is because it will not have all its permanent teeth until it is six to seven months old. When you brush your dog's teeth can have a big impact on how successful you are. Try to brush the dog's teeth when it is calm and relaxed. A good time to try this is after the dog has been exercising or playing. It will hopefully be tired and less likely to struggle with you.

summary: Get a dog toothbrush. Pick out a dog toothpaste. Start when your dog is young. Choose a good time for brushing.

Finger picks usually come in a small, medium, or large size. Wearing a finger pick that is too large or small can be uncomfortable and affect the way you play. It's ideal to go to a music store to try on the finger pick. If that's not an option, look for a sizing chart online. You should look for picks made for left hands if you are left-handed. Some finger picks are as cheap as a dollar, but some can be as expensive as $35. It may seem tempting to go for the expensive one to assure a great sound, but that is not always the case. Cheap picks can often be just as good as expensive finger picks. You may want to pay more if you'd prefer handcrafted metal finger picks. It's okay to use metal or plastic picks, but metal picks are ideal if you are going for a specific sound. A metal pick will help you produce a louder and more precise sound. Metal may also be more durable if you play hard and very often. Plastic is softer than metal, so naturally, it creates a softer sound with more ease than a metal pick would. Plastic is also a good idea if you plan to make adjustments to your finger pick because they are fairly malleable. It's also an option to combine plastic and metal fingers since people often wear three picks as they play. Thinner picks are great for beginner players because they are lighter. This is good for people that aren't used to having picks on their fingers. They are also good because they are more flexible than thicker picks, and flexibility makes it easier to play. Thin picks aren't just for beginners though. They are good for achieving a delicate sound in your music. Thick picks are great for more advanced players that feel confident with controlling their finger picks. They are also ideal for the faster strumming that is common with banjo playing. You can also use thicker picks if you want a heavier sound.

summary: Wear the right size. Look at a variety of picks. Choose metal for a louder sound. Go for plastic if you want a softer sound. Use a thin finger pick at first. Wear a thicker pick for a fast playing style.

You can use creative paper materials, or you can use a plain piece of notebook paper. Make sure that you start with the paper's back side facing up. Try gold or silver foil paper to make the ring look even more like it's made out of metal. You can find such foil online or in many craft and even some department stores. A standard piece of paper at 8 by 11.5 inches will work, although people have made paper rings out of smaller squares, even post-it-notes! Use colored paper if you want to make your ring colorful. Really, though, any piece of paper would work. You could even make a paper ring out of a regular piece of lined notebook paper. You could also try using special Origami paper, which is the Japanese art of paper folding. Try washi or chiyogami, which comes in different colors and designs. This paper, which can be purchased online, is used to make Origami paper designs. This is the first in what will be a series of folds needed to make the ring. Cut the paper in half where the fold was. Use the crease where you folded as the guide for where to cut the paper. Take either a pair of scissors or just carefully rip the paper at the crease where you folded it. You will now have a rectangular piece of paper. Once you've cut the piece of paper in half, you should fold the rectangular piece of paper you're left with in half again. It should now be a smaller rectangular shape. The process of making a paper ring involves a series of folds and unfolds. After you've unfolded the paper, fold both sides of the paper once again to meet the central line of the paper. Basically, the horizontal end of each folded over side should now meet in the middle. #*Note that the paper is getting smaller and smaller each time you fold it! Now, fold the already folded paper once again, this time completely in half by folding the paper to the right. It will have a square like shape. You are creating the ring through a series of folds. They should meet at the center line. Think of these folds as creating the tip of a paper airplane. That's how it should look. The end of the paper should now form a triangular point. You've got a few more folding steps to go before you have a true paper ring. Be patient! Pull the sides of the paper out, and pop up the top of the folded paper so that it forms the center of the ring. You may want to use a piece of tape or glue at the bottom of the ring to make sure that the ring holds together. Wear the ring or give it to someone you care about! They will most likely appreciate the thought and care you put into it.
summary: Choose a single piece of paper. Fold the paper in half horizontally. Fold the remaining rectangle. Unfold the paper again. Keep folding the paper. Fold both of the paper's edges in. Tuck in the corners. Fold both lines to the center. Glue the ring together. You're done!
