Garden Design
Explore the art of garden
design in this
comprehensive course. You
will learn the fundamental
elements of style, basic
techniques and professional
tricks necessary to design
the gardens of your dreams.
Professional garden design
is something that is
inspirational and is
essentially solving the
various logistical problems
associated with what you
have to work with, where to
position such items as
pathways, swimming pools,
tennis courts, water features,
flower beds and which plants
would be most suited. Good
garden design adds these
ingredients to create a style
in keeping with the site, the
house and your client's
requirements.
The whole process of design
begins long before you put
pen to paper. Your initial job
is to find out just what you
have and then what you
want to achieve based on
this initial fact finding.
Once this basic analysis is
completed, you can then
move on to the fun job of
preparing the design.

your own personal tutor who

Training your dog is an investment in your future together that pays big dividends.
When a dog is about six to 10 weeks of age, you can begin that serious training.
Patterns which the dog learns between then and when it is about four months will form the
backbone of its behavior patterns for the rest of its life.
At the beginning, your dog's attention will quickly stray. So, keep your all sessions very short
– no more than three to five minutes.
Use everything that you do together as a training experience. When you take it for a walk,
ensure that the dog sits while you open a door and also at each corner.
Reward the dog for correct behavior, but go very light on punishment. After all, you’re
dealing with a baby of another species.
Some experts say that the whole focus of the dog's life is to win.
It is believed to be most receptive to instructions in the period between 4 and 6 months of
age. All your training should include revision and also some light sessions that are as much
play as “work”.
Of course, these cannot start until the dog is fully immunized at about six months.
And it is extremely rewarding to accomplish as much as possible all of this basic training. With
just you and the dog.
By six months, your dog's mental processes have started to form firm tracks so you need to
make the best use that you can of that time, before formal training becomes available to you.
The first thing to do when you are ready to start training your dog is to decide exactly what
you want to teach the dog to do or not to do. Unless you have a firm idea of your target. It
is impossible to score a bull's-eye if you’re not focused.
You also need to be aware of how experts believe that a dog thinks, although many of us
like to graft human thought processes onto our dogs, they are quite different.
Dogs are more like wolves than we might like to think. They’re pack animals and all their
relationships are related to whether they are the dominant or submissive member of your
pack.
You must always ensure that you are Top Dog but, especially, when you are training your
new puppy.
It's very important that you keep your goals for the training in mind, and try not to make
any mistakes or set in place any traits which will firm into an unacceptable behavior later on.
For instance, many dog owners play tug of war games with their puppy, not realizing that
they are encouraging competition between themselves and the dog.
Training a dog to sit is fairly easy if approached with good humor and a pocket full of non-
sugary treats.
Have the pup stand in front of you and looking at you. Put your hand containing a treat in
front of its face and slightly above its head. Gently move the hand over its head and along its
back but a few inches above it.
The dog will tend to move backward and sit. Immediately it starts to do so, you say, “Sit!”
Then, reward its behavior by giving it the treat.
You will have to repeat this tactic a few times. If the dog turns or jumps up toward the treat,
remove the reward and bring the pup back to the start position.
Teach the dog to come to you when called. Try to use a firm but friendly tone and never
chastise the dog when it comes to you or your training will set the wrong message in its
mind.
Train your dog to walk with a lead. That could save its life in the city and the countryside.
Remember that many pet accessories are sold by appealing to the owner’s vanity and not all
are suitable for the dogs that they are bought for.
Look for a lead that is light, durable and not likely to cause any discomfort.
I personally think that a harness is better because the dog may rub its throat against the
collar when it starts its walk after a long day inside.
If you use a collar, take the time to teach the dog to walk with you – don’t let it rush ahead,
Even if your dog is micro-chipped, firmly attach a metal or plastic identifier disc, with your
contact details, to the collar.
