I bet their parents are so proud of them. I'm pretty twisted and don't even find that funny.

Heck, they're teenage boys. They spend half their day with a boner. No blue pills needed.

I don't think they knew what was in them and I'm not sure if it was all boys that ate them or boys and girls. All I know is a girl made the brownies.

Why are the kids who ate them suspended? I could see the girl who brought them, but I guess I don't understand if you didn't know what was in them why your in trouble.

General training, potty training, etc. Dalmatian female

In my experience, females take a little longer to train. Do you have a kennel? Start off by keeping her in the kennel overnight and when not at home. Always positive reinforce with treats immediately when potty training. That means keep them in your pocket when you take her out. Also, don’t be afraid to pick her up and keep putting her on the grass if she tries to walk off it, so she knows that’s the only place to go. Also, when putting her in the kennel, give her treats and get her to go in there on her own. NEVER force her in. Especially as a punishment. She’ll associate it as a bad place. Dogs will rarely ever pee or poop in their kennel though. It’s their den. Also, it always helps to put a blanket over it. It will make it feel more secure to her.

You just have to really keep an eye on her when out of her kennel and learn her behaviors for when she has to go. Things like starting to sniff around and move away from where you are. Accidents will happen, though, so don’t get too frustrated with her. I’m always anti-doggy pads because I feel like you’re teaching the dog it’s okay to do it in side. I also always said “potty” every time I took my dog out and when he would go outside. Now he associates the word with going out so much that I can take him out and tell him to go potty and he’ll just do it. It only took about four days to house break the male. Took about three weeks for the female.

As for regular training, get a clicker from PetSmart for like two dollars. Every time they have a bad behavior, click it at them and firmly say no. Again, treats or even just overly positive attention when they do well.

Also, as soon as I had them housebroken, I never put them in the kennel again. One still continued to use it, the other didn’t.
 
Gotta fill out a thing both saying things I like to do and words to describe myself. I feel like saying "drinking, complaining about other people and they things they do that annoy me, sleeping, and internet browsing" are not what I should put.
Only if you're not willing to be honest, girl!

Start obedience training early - 8 to 10 weeks old. Just take a few minutes each day, maybe a couple times a day, and work on basics like sit, stay, and come. Remember the most important command your dog will learn is "no", and make sure the dog knows you mean it.

I discovered that if I bought a package of cheap hot dogs and cut them into bite-size pieces, the dog would learn pretty quickly. The key is consistency - the dog needs to know who the boss is.

Dalmatians are highly intelligent, but can be high strung as well. So your sessions can't take too long, or they'll find something else that stimulates them.

If you're going to housebreak the dog, I got a tip from a kennel owner: he told me to take an empty pop can and put a few pennies in it. When the dog looks like it is going to squat (or lift a leg, whatever), shake the can vigorously and say "no" loudly and firmly. The dog will not like the sound, and connect the command to it. It worked pretty quickly for the labs I housebroke.

Good luck!!!
 
So (humble brag alert leading to funny exchange)
One of our granddaughters, 14 yrs old, was inducted into the junior national honor society this week. It's based on scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. Our son posted a video of the event on Facebook. She was wearing a very stylish dress, sleeveless and barely above the knee, that was very complimentary to her slender frame.

I posted a congratulations in the comments, and added in a side note "cute dress!", to which our son replied "Dad did NOT approve the dress". This is the marine captain, and his oldest daughter. I told PapaLew "I'm in trouble now"...and replied to son with "ooops!". DIL replied to both of us with: "Mom did, and bought it for her!"

I love the way my DIL stands up to "Mr I'm a Marine and I'm always right"! :D
 
Teaching a dog to come when you tell them is paramount in my opinion.

We had a professional trainer come to our house to help with our rescue dog. She would make a growl noise whenever the dog was doing something she didn't want it to do. She told us there are four things a dog is looking for. Shelter, food, feeling safe, and who is the pack leader. Be the pack leader.

Flashback. CWW#2's dad was a Marine before medical school and being an Air Force doctor/colonel. Woof, what a damn combination. o_O I was told the fact he didn't actively DISLIKE me meant he thought I was okay.
