Ebay — Buying, Selling and Trading

Ebay is the Internet version of the "flea market". People can list items they would like to sell and find
items they'd like to buy. The eBay site allows users to search for item descriptions. Sellers can post
their items, change the item category, showcase the item and view bids on the item.
Purchasers can verify the authenticity of an item, purchase insurance, put the item in escrow and
even get help with disputes when there is a disagreement. Buying, selling and trading are very
efficiently done via the Web.

Teaching a new puppy to walk on a leash takes a little bit of practice. The puppy will be playful but
not very focused.

Find the right harness is very important. For a puppy, you will want one that attaches to the dog's
chest not the dog's neck. Pull the puppy will cause the body of the dog to move forward. If the dog
resists or pulls against you, don't force it.

Put a treat in front of the dog is another way to get the dog to walk ahead. Let the dog smell the
treat in your hand.

Then, walk forward. The dog's nose will follow. Don't let the dog have the treat right away. Let the
dog take a few steps before rewarding the dog.

Use a tasty treat to encourge a specific behavior is very effective. With a little bit of practice, a lot of
patience, and love, your puppy will become your walking companion.
