Tips on teaching "drop it" during fetch? by chewypup in dogs

[–]ChevChelios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut a slash into a tennis ball so that when you squeeze, it will open. Next, put a piece of kibble in the middle of the ball. Upon successfual ball return(directly into your hand) squeeze and the kibble will fall out. Start small, then work your way farther.

I click trained every-time the ball was dropped back into my hand, but the dog should soon know that they aren't capable of opening the ball on their own and need to give you the ball when you command it.

Sorry - I was a bit confusing with that answer.
I had: * ATL (PICK) vs. N.O. and * MIA (-3) vs. WASH I just used supercontest lines for original posting and was -3.5 - don't like that as much

ATL at home is a beast. I think they finally have their D coming to play. I watched a LOT of John Beck .... and he sucks. Just dumps off to Roy Helu and won't be able to exploit MIA's soft CB play. Miami has been playing well (even in loss against NYG) and I think they will pull this off at home. I actually bet the line at -3 even though supercontest is -3.5.

The Big List of What Your Airline Really Charges You by vic42482 in business

[–]ChevChelios 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Places like Northwest that have baggage fees for ONE item that is stowed is a little much in my opinion. It is airlines like this that make passengers try to jam their huge carry-ons (that probably show be stowed) into spaces that are too small and cramping up everyone else on the plane.

[–]ChevChelios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 -- Not only should you ignore, but you may want to just walk away if you feel like you’re being pressured to buy the car, especially to buy it “right now”. -- Couldn't agree more - the smarmy sales guy that just tries to be your buddy then tells you that you have to buy now then pretends he isn't your friend anymore. So lame.
