Chris Benton in Rochester, New York writes in March about Security

Chris Benton sets up security systems for homes and small business in Rochester, New York.  Believe it or not there was a point in time when the wealthy people of the world were the only ones that were targets of people to be robbed.  Things were much more simple for the middle class back then because break-ins were just not something they had to worry about.  As much as technology as made our lives easier, it also makes all of our homes more susceptible to being robbed.




Burglars know that most houses contain things like laptop computers or big screen televisions that they can make a profit on if they sell them in the streets.  And people that have guns in their homes thinking that is what they use to keep their house safe have one more valuable item that a burglar would love to have their hands on.




Dogs and weapons are an effective way to protect your home to some extent but having a home security system is also crucial.  Even having a security system that makes noise and is not monitored is not enough.  Burglars are often aware if a security system is being monitored and if they know that it is not then a mere indoor siren is not going to scare them away.




There are certain things that a homebuyer or business owner need to consider when purchasing a home security system.  One major thing nowadays that influences the setup of your home security system is whether you want it to contact a central station through a landline, a radio backup, or both.




The landline phone is something that less and less people are using these days and many homes are eliminating it altogether.  There are certain advantages to using radio backup as opposed to a landline phone to contact a central station.  First off a radio backup is typically less expensive than a landline phone especially because of the taxes that one incurs with a landline phone.




Another major advantage to using a radio backup is that burglars cannot just cut your landline to make your system unable to call the central station.  Before the use of radio backup a burglar could always simply just cut a phone line which would make the security system virtually useless besides the siren.  Now with a radio backup as part of the security system a burglar is not able to simply cut the phone line.  Radio backup is also typically a bit faster than a phone line when it calls as well.

Dog Training New

Best new dog training advice...?

My family just got a puppy from a rescue shelter. The place was actually a pet store but they also rescue dogs from the pound and put them up for adoption in their store.
So this puppy is not even four months old, but the owners of the shop take all the dogs in the place home with them every night, so he is somewhat house-trained. However, as I was getting up this morning he came into my room and got into a pee stance. I got him out of my room before he actually peed but, what are some good tips to ensure he gets fully house-trained ASAP?
We are already using the cage technique where you put the dog bed in a large cage and then let them out when they need to be let out. It's supposed to work because dogs don't like to pee or poop where they sleep and if you rush them outside everytime they need to go then they'll learn outside is the place to go.
Also just training tips in general. We have another dog who's about ten, very active and they're both mutts.


The absolutely best advice you can get is to learn how to humanely train your puppy. You can learn how to prevent prpoblems before they happen and deal with minor behavior problems before they occur. Everything else really is common sense. Observe how the puppy is behaving and his motivators for behaving that way (including how he is feeling, tired, hungry, lonely, scared etc) and respond as if he were a small helpless child that couldn't communicate to you.

For advice about puppy biting issues check this out:

For house training issues:

Make sure to socialize your puppy to other people, of all sizes, different animals (esp dog social dogs of all breeds), other places that you will likely take him to as an adult, lots of sounds (such as plagrounds full of children). Just a 5 min positive non-scarey exposure three or four times week is enough until he is 16 weeks, then twice a week unil he is 6-8 months old. Stanley Coren details how to create a Superdog (resiliant & adaptable family dog) in one chapter of his book: "How Dogs Think: Understanding the Canine Mind" Your public library will have a copy.

Check out this awesome free training program designed by top dog judge and sport competitor with really difficult breeds. If it worked for her dogs, it will work for yours! She uses this program as a foundation for her service dogs. as well:
http://www.dragonflyllama.com/%20DOGS/%20Dog1/levels.html

There is a online discussion group where you can ask questions, brag etc!
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/traininglevels

She covers how to train to potty on cue, go mat, go crate, zen (leave it) all the basics plus a ton more useful behaviors that are foundation skills for living with a dog. By level 3, your dog is a nice companion. By level 5, you will know how to train your dog to do almost anything you can dream up.

I used this with Jessie (my rescue pup at 7 mos and she has overcome many things incl some major fear issues due to previous owner rough handling) and is a nice family and companion dog I have fun with. She is almost ready now to enter competititon or do anything I want to with her: freestyle, agility, flyball, ton of tricks and she even does many service dog tasks! www.youtube.com/user/supernaturalbc2008

A fantastic book if you find your dog is unfocussed or reactive to other dogs etc. is "Control Unleashed" which teaches you a series of tools in the form of games.
