They're pretty good dogs. They have a couple commands other than the absolute basics. "Truck" works great for the boxer, as does "Gimme hug" (allowing her up on me by command, thereby forbidding it otherwise), but the bulldog is too short & fat for either of them. On the other hand the rolly-polly build of the bulldog is quite conducive to "bang" (otherwise known as "lay down, roll on your back, and wiggle, pretending you've been shot") Both of them get the gist of "you cross this line, you die" regarding when they can step across the door-line into the hangar and when they can't. The looks they give me when other dogs are allowed inside and they aren't are awful! The bulldog likes to test me on that one though, just putting one or two paws across the line and waiting to see if it's noticed...then entering if uncorrected and particularly tempted, especially by a child. She's a brat, but I don't think anyone can watch her for 5 minutes without at least grinning, if not totally cracking up. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I agree with the not hitting an animal or acting in anger, however I establish dominance a little differently. On leash, it's an absurd amount of patience and absolute unwillingness to accept anything other than obedience if there's an outstanding command. I can say heel 50 times in a row (all in the exact same uncompromising tone of voice, no yelling), each with a mild correction (tug on the leash), and without us going anywhere. When the dog minds, there will be treats (for starters) and he/she will get to walk with a gradually increasing amount of slack leash. When they don't, they get no treats, a short leash, and a very boring interaction. Off leash, reverse time-out (ignoring them) and the occasional domination while wrestling gets the point across pretty well. Again, no hitting/hurting them. In both cases, treating does help establish dominance as well...when they know you have all the tasty morsels and they can only get them by submitting, it helps reinforce that you are alpha. Of course I've not had to work out a developed food aggression, so I can't be sure my methods would work. Off hand, I'd think patience, repetition, and only treating proper behavior would work...I suppose that's pretty much what you said. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I've never seen it for sale at any store in Washington, but I agree it's good. Since I can't buy it (or at least not easily), I usually go with the Rockstar Juiced...the mango or whatever it is in the orange can. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

"Access denied"! Works for me Actually I didn't even try. I know from past experience that the urbandictionary site is blocked at my work. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I used to date an ER nurse who liked few things more than bitching about some of the patients who would come in to the ER. I think the worst was one night when she was working triage and a gal came in wanting a pregnancy test. She pointed out that such a test could easily be obtained a block and a half down the street at Rite-Aid for about $15, instead of the $300+ to use the ER. The gal said, "Yeah, but my medical coupons from the state cover hospital visits but not over-the-counter supplies at the drug store." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Outside of that web page, can somebody please give me the etymology of "woot"? I think I finally sort of get what it means and am curious how the fuck it evolved. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Another one that's helped me... Do NOT weigh yourself every day. Some days are going to be good and others bad, and a few bad weigh-ins in a row can be very disheartening. Pick a specific day of the week and a specific time of that day. You'll see more cumulative effect instead of the daily ups & downs. Also, be prepared for a bad weigh-in that day...if you're on a good plan, you won't have more than one or two in a row. If you do, look at your plan and your compliance with it and adjust whichever needs it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
