I will be organizing two Christmas gatherings this year and have yet to buy a single Christmas present for gift exchange. This year I am telling myself not to get present for my friends as they have want they need. I intent to donate to the needy instead.
If you have no idea what to buy here are some tips for you:
* Bake some cookies and pack them in nice bottle
* Nice diaries for 2011
* Moisture for feet
* Nice coffee cup
* Small FM radio to put in the office
OMG these are all what I need.. Wahaha
Have you start planning your 2011 goals?
I have done my refection of what I have done for this whole year in 3 hours run last weekend. Told myself this would be the last run. No more running for an old woman like me. I better concentrate on practicing Bikram Yoga; which I have did it for the last 2 years. I have set my goal for next year. Just sign up a Yoga club and it's for LIFE.. Yes I am going to do yoga for life. If you haven't tried doing one please do so.
I have also plan up some courses to attend to improve my grooming skill. Hope to learn some creative grooming soon. There will be more promotion from Miss Groomer too. Stayed Tune!
There are so many things to do in December.. But not forgetting saying a big THANK YOU for your friendship and invaluable support. May the season bring you Joy, Good Health and Prosperity.

Think Positive
Positive training is far more effective than using punishment or negative techniques, which can lead to behaviour suppression and welfare issues. Your pup will be much happier for it and see you as a source of security rather than fear and worry.
Using punishment and other negative techniques, such as physically restraining your pup or even ignoring him for long periods of time can result in him suppressing his nature behaviors and becoming fearful, frustrated and confused. He may develop a feeling of depression and helplessness, where he gives up on ever getting anything right and eventually lead to unpredictably aggressive behavior. This is obviously not what you want for your kid.
How positive training work.
There are four simple steps to successful
1. When your pup does something good for example, toilet at the right place - reward him with praise and perhaps a food treat to encourage him to repeat the behaviour in the future. This is known as positive experience (praise and a treat) to 'reinforce' the desired behaviour.
2. When your pup displays unwanted behaviour, don't punish him or tell him off. Such negative action doesn't help and will simply upset him. It can also encourage him to repeat the unwanted behaviour, by drawing attention to it. If you ignore his mistake, the behaviour is more likely to fade over time.
3. Avoid situations where unwanted behaviour is likely to occur; for example, take your pup outside regularly to toilet so that he is likely to feel the need to do so in the house
4. Encourage him in a behaviour you do want rather than preventing one you don't - take your pup outside at frequent intervals rather than shouting at him if he tries to toilet in your house
Using these techniques to reward wanted behaviours and discourage unwanted ones will help you develop a trusting relationship with your puppy and increase his sense of security and well-being when he is with you.
