Why is it Important to Train Your Dog?
The best form of dog training is where the owner rewards the dog for good behaviour from a young age. Please don't ever think about any form of training that punishes your dog for disobedient behaviour such as using shock collars.
We suggest training classes so that you get to understand how your dog learns. As a result the training is more mutually beneficial for the pair of you. You get to learn about your dog and your dog develops new social skills.
It is important to find an accredited dog trainer as anybody is able to call themselves a dog trainer regardless of their level of skill or qualifications. Bad training methods can upset dogs and result in behaviour problems.
What Makes a Good Dog Training School?
We recommend you first visit a class by yourself to make sure you are happy with the trainer and their techniques.
You should observe the puppies during training for any signs of anxiety and whether the trainer spots them and assists these dogs. Dogs should enjoy training and if you see any sign that puppies don't look happy then find another training class.
Never attend any class that makes us of fear, shouting or hitting to train the dogs. Look instead for reward based training using food treats and toys.
The perfect class size is nor more than eight dogs per instructor and assistant.
A dog training class should be calm and relatively quiet. If the trainer has to shout a lot or the puppies bark a lot it, then it is a sign of stress between the instructor and the puppies and you should look elsewhere.

The Catch haters fail to understand what Shondaland is all about
I'll admit it: I avoided Grey's Anatomy for a long time. The medical soap opera genre has never been my favorite and I didn't expect that Grey's would deviate from the norm. But I'm a sucker for quality LGBTQ representation on television, so once I heard that Callie Torres was the greatest openly bisexual character to ever grace the small screen, I knew I was in for a Netflix binge.
That binge didn't turn me into a superfan; I've only been a sporadic Grey's viewer in the years since I caught an episode for the first time. But I did develop an appreciation for the show and for Shonda Rhimes' specific brand of storytelling. What I discovered is that the illnesses of the week that plague Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital each season aren't really the point — just as the latest political maneuverings of President Fitz aren't really the point of Scandal and Annalise Keating's clients aren't really the point of How to Get Away with Murder. No. We watch HTGAWM to see Annalise's maternal affection for Wes develop. We watch Scandal to understand Olivia and Fitz's love for each other. And we watch Grey's for incredibly dynamic and complex characters like Callie Torres. (It's true, she really is the greatest openly bisexual character on television.)

So when I started reading reviews of Shondaland's latest series, The Catch, I was shocked by how many critics were bogged down by plot. "The main problem is that we’ve seen this movie many times before, down to the feds being on Ben’s tail and the suspicions harbored by his partners in crime," reads Variety's criticism. "A shred of logic means the show would be over before it starts," adds the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "[I]t fails to be anything more than a slickly filmed, appealingly casted collection of plot points telegraphed so far in advance, even Mr. Magoo could spot ’em," argues TV Line.
Um. You guys have seen a Shondaland show before, right?
Of course the plot's not original. Of course the chain of events are flawed and unwieldy. Of course the pilot was predictable. Who cares? None of that is really the point.
More: The Catch: Why I'm not excited for the highly anticipated new show
The reason to watch The Catch is to watch Alice (Mireille Enos) and Christopher/Ben (Peter Krause) as their incredibly complicated romance unfolds. On the surface, the pilot is entirely about breaking the two characters apart — Alice discovers that her fiancé, Christopher, is really a con-artist named Ben, aka the mysterious "Mr. X" she's been trying to track down for ages. Now, Alice and Ben are nemeses, trying desperately to bring each other down. These subsequent cons are likely to be the cases of the week of each new episode this season.
But those stories aren't the reason to care. The reason I'm excited to continue tuning in each week is to better understand Alice and Ben's love for each other. It feels real. It feels deep. It feels dark. There's a moment in the first half of the episode when it seems as though Ben may very well give up everything in his life to protect Alice and the sanctity of their relationship. Perhaps that's his attempt to con the audience, but I don't think it is. I think his love for her is less of an act than he'd like us to believe.

Likewise, Alice's love for Ben is extremely real. She may have loved the nonexistent Christopher first, but she also loved the glimmers of Ben that existed in her fiancé. How is she going to reconcile that now that this love is her rival? If she has to destroy or kill or hurt him, will she be capable of that? Will she be manipulated into harming her friends and colleagues because of her devotion to him? How will her continued love for a man she doesn't entirely know shape her journey this season?
It's early still, but I'm loving these characters. I want to see how their relationship develops and changes over the course of the season. To me, Alice and Ben's dynamic is so clearly the heart of the show, so why would the details of the plot — which are wildly implausible, to be sure — get in the way of my pleasure? Like any Shondaland show, The Catch is about the characters and their connections with one another, and I can't wait to see how they grow as the season progresses.
Excited to watch The Catch? Tune into ABC every Thursday at 10pm/9c.

Will Pheromones Work For You?
Pheromones are the invisible chemical messengers that the two sexes secrete that subconsciously transmit information about our viability as a partner. If you have lot’s pheromones they send a message out to women that you are an ideal sexual match for her. As a result sexual attraction is generated without the need for looks, money or personality.
Click here to learn more about pheromone spray
The good news for guys like us is that science has been able to synthetically produce these same pheromones. You can now buy colognes that contain pheromones. It’s literally spray on sexual attraction.
The not so great news is that not all pheromone colognes are equal and there are so many to choose from. There are many different types of pheromones and a good pheromone cologne needs to have the correct blend of the right pheromones at the right concentration.
If you are new to pheromone cologne then you likely won’t know what to expect from wearing them. Firstly, don’t expect women to be literally throwing themselves at you. What tends to happen is rather more subtle but still very noticeable. You can expect to receive more eye contact from women and flirty behavior from them. Women will just tend to find you more interesting and will stick around you for longer.
Men's pheromone cologne will open doors for you with females and that can boost your confidence meaning you are less likely to come across as being a wimp. Just don’t let pheromones make an promises that you can’t keep. If you are dull and boring, women will still suss that out, but it will take her a little while longer.

Survivor's Caleb Reynolds reveals he might not be done with the show
SheKnows: Shortly after your evacuation aired, you streamed a live video on your Facebook page telling fans you will return for another season of Survivor. Is this true? Will you in fact be coming back to play again?
Caleb Reynolds: It has been talked about before. A lot of people have been asking me if I will. That's something I already said yes to. If I get that opportunity — which you never know if I will or not — but if I do, I've already said yes to it. Whether it be an all-star or a second chance, I told them that my bags would be packed. Beast mode is ready for round two.
More: Caleb Reynolds vows return to Survivor
SK: Walk us through what happened in the challenge that resulted in your intense medical evacuation.
CR: It got to the point where we dug under the logs and got everyone under those to the big circle that we had to dig deep into the sand and find the bags. Once we found the bags, everything was good. I was feeling good. The tribe was still moving and constant. We're all still in a good condition and state of mind. Obviously, I get to the point where I feel myself not sweating anymore. I looked past it. I didn't think of it being anything big. I was like, OK, I'm not sweating, so I'm on the verge of dehydrating. Of course, we just keep going. We get up to the Skee-Ball thing and we just roll a few. I made the first three and I let someone else have a turn so I could take a breather. We had six altogether, but nobody could get the last one in. With me breathing hard and realizing that my body just about had enough, I told Nick to let me go one more time. Three rolls later, I finally made the last ball. I fell to my knees and gave this expression like "thank God this is over" type of thing. I fell to my back, and I just got this real dizzy feeling. My eyes started to get a blotch. When I would blink, they were blurry. I had no clue what it was. I thought maybe I needed some shade where it was a little bit cooler. I walked over to where the shade was and I just collapsed. From that point on, I was in and out. From the IV, the oxygen mask, all the ice and vest being put on me, I don't really remember. I woke up once during it all that I can remember, and Jeff was telling me I was being evacuated. I told him no. I shook my head no. He just continued to say, "I'm sorry, but it's not your choice anymore. The doctors are not allowing you to continue. You're in bad shape." I was out again and then onto the helicopter I went.
SK: Were you feeling fine that morning?
CR: Oh yeah. I felt good. My body felt fine. It was more just an exhausted [feeling]. You go to bed hungry, you wake up hungry. You go to bed on bamboo, you wake up on bamboo. Sometimes you wake up on the ground. It's rough. It's not memory foam, so you just have a rough time sleeping all night. You're getting bit by bugs, by centipedes that you never knew existed. You just don't sleep good. On top of it, you have no energy, no food, and every time you take a sip of water, it's hot because you just got done boiling it. You just wake up with no energy, and you're just exhausted. Going into the challenge, I knew I had no energy. None of us had energy. We were all exhausted. I went into it normal. I felt good. I felt like it was a normal challenge. Even the first challenges I didn't have any energy. I didn't feel like I was fatigued in any way. I didn't feel like my body was under this heat attack.
SK: A lot of people have been questioning the safety of holding a challenge like that when the heat was clearly so intense. Do you think it may have been too much?
CR: I'm gonna partially agree. I would say that when it reaches temperatures around 120 degrees, I think at that point, me personally, with heat being a big issue when you're pushing your body through this type of challenge, knowing it takes over an hour and a half to finish it, you automatically assume that maybe they could postpone it. Either do it early in the morning or do it later in the evening when the sun isn't the hottest. We were out there in the hottest time of the day. The people that do these challenges before we go do them, it's just different for them than it is for us. I feel like they kind of know where everything is. They run through these challenges before we go do them to make sure that it all works. One of the interviewers said, "Well, you know, we had our people do this challenge, and it was fine. Nobody was exhausted. It went through smooth." When we got there, everyone was passing out. You got to remember everyone you have doing these challenges, they ate food all night. They ate all morning. On top of it, they've had unlimited drinks of water. They're energized. They're full of fuel. It's not going to be easy to just let them hit heat exhaustion within an hour because they're full of fuel. I think I agree saying that it was a little overboard doing it when it was that hot. Maybe we could've just postponed it to where it wasn't literally the hottest time of day. It could be very dangerous. People die from heat strokes and heat exhaustion. Heat is something to not play with, and possibly they could've changed the time of the challenge.

SK: So are you mad about the way the challenge was handled?
CR: No. Not at all. I have no regrets. I'm not upset. I believe that I went out the best way that I could. I would have rather not got voted out. I'm not a quitter. At that point in the game, I went out the only way I was able to go out. I'm not mad. I don't have any remorse. I'm not upset at anyone. I gave it my all. It's not their fault that happened to me, because I could've sat down and took some breathers just like everyone else. I could've backed away from my energy level, set back and let my body chill. But I didn't. I did it all myself. I pushed myself over my limit. I drew a line in the sand with my toes, and I crossed it. I drew another one and I crossed that one, too. I ended up pushing myself a lot further than my body would allow it to go.
SK: The episode was filmed nearly a full year ago. What was it like reliving that moment, watching it on TV all these months later?
CR: When it all started happening, I was like, "Here we go. This is what I went through last year." It wasn't really much. Then I started to see Tai, and I started to see Julia and everyone on my tribe get really emotional. Then I see my mom sitting next to me, she starts to get emotional and crying. I look over at my fiancée, and her eyes are tearing up. I had my family messaging me saying, "Gosh, this is so hard to watch." They were upset they couldn't even help me. It was emotional. For me, it was more watching everyone else, and their emotion is what got me emotional. If I was awake during all of it and hating life, it would have been much different to know this sucks and I'm hurting right now. I wasn't, though. I was passed out. I don't remember any of it. It was an emotional time because that's me. That's like me to go out that way. I have no limits to myself. Sometimes it's good to have a limit. In a way, if I would have put myself on a limit, maybe we would've lost and one of us would have went home. That's what I think about when I go to put myself on a limit. Like, hey, your body is starting to overheat and you need to slow down. I don't think that way. I think, give it all you've got until you're finished. Then you can take a break. The emotional side was watching everyone else [get] emotional, and watching everyone else hurting because of what I went through. I didn't know my tribe felt some of those things about me. Nick said he thought I was invincible. It seems they thought I was like some superhero that was untouchable. That was a very humbling moment for me, because it proved that I'm not that guy they thought I was. The whole experience, just watching everyone else's emotion, is what was emotional for me. They put the game aside and really cared about my well-being. They cared about me as a person enough to sob and cry over me being hurt and injured in that kind of way.

Humor in Hollywood: Women Are Changing the Game
As the Golden Globes showed us now that awards season is underway, it is notable that female-driven comedies on the silver screen and TV are conspicuously outstanding. Hollywood mainstays like Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie & Grandma), Meryl Streep (Ricky and the Flash) Julia Louis-Dreyfuss (Veep) brought their A-game, simultaneously ushering in the newcomers like Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer), Jennifer Lawrence (Joy) and Uzo Aduba (Orange Is The New Black) who allow us to laugh at ourselves by laughing at them.
Image: Universal StudiosThis is new. Yes, we've always had our Lucille Balls and Joan Rivers--it's not as if we've never allowed women to make us laugh. But with only a few standout exceptions, we typically have marginalized female humor, barring characters from being the lead and making sure they were always self-effacing, and never, ever sexy. In fact, for a number of years, the female comedy path was forged by lesbians like Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell and Paula Poundstone. It's as if our culture would permit women to be funny, as long as long as they weren't too traditionally feminine .
These days, not only do we now have a greater number of funny women as leading stars on our screens, they are bold, sexy and their approach has changed; more than just making us giggle, they are forcing women--and men--to push invisible cultural boundaries: Sarah Silverman confronts religion and politics; Amy Schumer is a feminist cultural critic; Kristen Wiig gives us girls the delicious permission to be weird.
And that's powerful. Because where humor goes, culture follows. Humor pokes a stick into the murky corners of our minds. Humor reveals repressed material that "good girls" are taught to hold in, like gas.
Image:20th Century FoxIt is unclear when it happened, or why, but Hollywood has a flatulence problem. Funny women have started to take over our hearts, our minds, and have even pried open our designer wallets.
So when Trainwreck grosses more than $100 million domestically, and Spy rakes in more than $235 million worldwide, it means that we're finally responding to women as leads opening films while being appealing while being funny, dirty, badass, and even overweight. They're our new goddesses and we want them to be our BFFs .
In July of last year, Michael Eisner, ex-CEO of Disney said "the hardest artist to find is a beautiful, funny woman". The comment attracted fodder and scorn, for obvious reasons, but perhaps it tells us more about him than current audiences. Like beauty, humor is subjective, so yes, perhaps there aren't too many Angelina Jolie-looking women delivering knee-slapping jokes. But when we broaden our parameters--just a tad--and let beauty be in the eyes of millions of movie-ticket holders and TV watchers, Michael Eisner couldn't be more wrong.

Reports of children being left in hot cars has led to calls for action
In Victoria alone, 225 cases of children being left in hot cars were reported by paramedic figures in December of 2015.
More: Swim safety more important than ever as child drowning deaths increase
That figure looks to be rising too, with 161 call outs made during December in the year prior. On one particular day, when 13 calls were made to paramedics, the mercury levels hit 37 degrees.
Considering the temperature inside a car left in the sun can be between 20 and 30 degrees hotter than outside, the temperature in the car on that day could easily have been from 57 to 67 degrees.
The most horrifying thing about all this, though, is hearing that there has been a 50 per cent increase in the number of babies locked in hot cars unattended. More than 370 babies under the age of one had to be rescued from hot cars in Victoria between September 2014 and August 31, 2015.
One woman has been charged after leaving her two-year-old in a car for approximately an hour in Bankstown.
It was a particularly hot day of around 35 degrees when police were called to the car park where the child was trapped. They forced entry into the car, after which the child was taken to hospital by paramedics.

The mother, who was inside a shopping centre at the time, was paged and alerted, while her child was distressed and treated for dehydration.
It takes just 15 minutes for a child to suffer from brain damage, kidney failure and ultimately death in a hot car, that's about just as long as it takes to run into the shops and grab a loaf of bread and some milk.
"There is no safe amount of time to leave children alone in the car," says Nathan Allen, an emergency medicine doctor at the University of Chicago.
"Kids are more susceptible and at higher risk for heat-related illness and injury than adults because their bodies make more heat relative to their size and their abilities to cool through sweating are not as developed as adults."
According to Kids Safety Victoria, this is what the public should do if we ever see a child alone in a car.
- First, look for the parents and see if they are close by
- If not, call 000
- Wait for paramedics to arrive
If you do need to leave the car, no matter how long it's for, always keep your child with you.
Have you ever seen a child left in an unattended car? Let us know.
