INPUT ARTICLE: Article: These products are available widely online, as well as in hardware stores and drugstores. To use these products, make sure that you follow the instructions on the label, as the instructions may vary depending on the specific type of fabric and how long the marker stain has been on the fabric. A few effective ink stain removing products include Amodex Ink Remover and The Laundress Stain Solution. If you are able to apply a stain remover to the permanent marker stain quickly, an all-purpose stain remover might be able to remove the stain before it sets in. Several companies, such as Tide and Shout, make easy-to-use and readily available stain removers that, while not formulated specifically for marker stains, can still be effective if you can start working on the stain quickly. Several companies also make on-the-go stain removing products that allow you to start working on removing the marker stain even if you are away from home. If you get permanent marker on white fabric, such as white clothing, sheets, or a tablecloth, you can remove the marker stain by washing the fabric with bleach. If the fabric is machine washable and bleach safe, you can add bleach to your laundry and run the washing machine with hot water. If the fabric is bleach safe but not machine washable, you can soak the fabric in bleach for 10 minutes and rinse with cold water to remove the marker stain. Make sure that you always check the tag on the fabric to make sure that it is bleach safe. Otherwise, using bleach may ruin the fabric, even if it is white.

SUMMARY: Use a stain remover formulated specifically for ink stains. Try an all-purpose fabric stain remover if the stain is fresh. Get rid of the marker stain with bleach if the fabric is white.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Prevention can be the easiest way to stop your dog from chewing inappropriately, so remove its temptations. Place any objects your dog likes to chew (or might chew) out of its reach: in a cabinet, high off the floor, in a bag or box, etc. Objects such as remote controls, shoes, and books are common temptations for dogs that like to chew. Poisonous plants, electrical cords, cleaners, and any other hazardous objects should also be kept out of your dog's reach. Your dog may not understand if you offer it items to chew that are very similar to items you do not want it chewing. For instance, if you offer your dog an old shoe to chew on, it might be confused about why you don't want it to chew on your new shoes. For the best chance of reducing your dog's inappropriate chewing behavior (and saving your possessions), and avoid treats and toys that resemble things you don't want it to chew. You may notice that your dog resorts to chewing when you are not around. If this is the case, you may consider keeping it confined in a pen, dog crate, or other area while you are gone. You can also use baby gates to keep a dog out of rooms or areas that contain items it is tempted to chew. In addition, you can supervise your dog while you are at home. Even keeping your dog on a leash while you are at home to ensure it doesn't chew inappropriately can help condition it and encourage positive behavior over time. If you're willing to put in a little extra time and effort, it's possible to teach your dog a handy command that can save your possessions in cases where you catch it chewing on them. To teach this command, use the following steps: Get two small treats and hide one in each fist. Get the dog's attention with one treat, then sharply tell your dog, "leave it" (referring to the object it is chewing). Don't let the dog have the treat. Let it sniff and lick at your hand, but don't let the treat go. Ignore your dog if it starts to bark or whine. As soon as it loses interest in your hand, however, offer it the treat from the other hand and give it lavish praise. Repeat this process until your dog moves away from your hand as soon as you say "leave it." This teaches your dog that ignoring whatever it wants to bite or chew on is better than chewing on that thing. Be persistent; do this over and over, and your dog should get the hang of this command.

SUMMARY: Keep objects you don't want your dog chewing out of its reach. Don't offer your dog confusing items to chew. Supervise your dog, and keep it separated from things you don't want it to chew, if necessary. Teach your dog the "leave it" command.
